Study Overview

Brief Summary

This is a Phase 3 clinical trial in adult hypogonadal males with baseline serum testosterone concentrations <300 ng/dL. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of testosterone gel (2%) delivered using an applicator.

Arms & Interventions

Testosterone gel (FE 999303)

Experimental

Subjects received a starting dose of 46 mg (two actuations) of testosterone gel (2%) daily in the morning. The dose was further titrated (increased or decreased - three actuations [69 mg] or single actuation [23 mg], respectively) based on serum testosterone concentrations.

Testosterone gel was applied using an applicator, to the shoulder/upper arm in a contralateral fashion.

Intervention: Testosterone gel (FE 999303) (Drug)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

The Percentage of Subjects on Day 90 Whose Cavg (0-24) Serum Total Testosterone Levels Are Between 300 and 1050 ng/dL

Time Frame: Day 90

The data were presented using descriptive statistics. No statistical analysis was performed.
