Study summary

The study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics of testosterone transdermal systems at steady-state in hypogonadal men.

Read the detailed description

Subjects will receive testosterone for 4 weeks. Based on a single morning testosterone measurement performed at the end of Week 1, the dosage can be titrated up or down to the next dose level to maintain testosterone levels in the normal range. At the end of 4 weeks of treatment, a pharmacokinetic profile for total testosterone and metabolites will be obtained.
