Inclusion criteria

  1. Serum total T below 300 ng/dL based on 2 consecutive blood samples obtained between 6 and 10 AM, on two separate days at approximately the same time of day, following an appropriate washout of current androgen replacement therapy.
  2. Subjects should be diagnosed to be primary (congenital or acquired) or secondary hypogonadal (congenital or acquired).
  3. Naïve to androgen replacement or has discontinued current treatment and completed adequate washout of prior androgen therapy. Washout must be completed prior to collection of baseline serum T samples to determine study eligibility.

  3. Abnormal prostate digital rectal examination (DRE) with palpable nodule(s).
  4. Subjects with symptoms of moderate to severe benign prostatic hyperplasia.
  5. Clinically significant abnormal laboratory value, in the opinion of the investigator, in serum chemistry, hematology, or urinalysis
  6. Positive test result for hepatitis A virus immunoglobulin M (HAV-IgM), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or hepatitis C virus antibody (HCV Ab) or human immunodeficiency virus antibodies (HIV Ab).
  7. History of gastric surgery, cholecystectomy, vagotomy, bowel resection or any surgical procedure that might interfere with gastrointestinal motility, pH or absorption.
