A Phase 3 interventional study of Testosterone enanthate in Hypogonadism, Male, sponsored by Halozyme Therapeutics. Recruiting at 22 sites in United States. Open to male participants aged 12 Years to 17 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-11-06.
Sponsored by Halozyme Therapeutics · Phase 3, Interventional, and Treatment
This is a 52-week open label single arm study + 24-Month long-term safety extension to investigate the effects of XYOSTED, as testosterone replacement therapy, on adolescent males with either primary or secondary hypogonadism.
The study aims to determine the effectiveness of XYOSTED measured by continuation or induction of puberty in addition to XYOSTED dosage, safety and testosterone levels.
This is a Phase 3/4, open-label, multicenter study in approximately 100 males 12 to \< 18 years of age with primary or secondary hypogonadism (congenital or acquired). Each participant will be screened for eligibility within 28 days before receiving his first dose of study drug on Day 1. During the Screening period, each participant will have a full clinical examination with pubertal staging, including 2 separate serum total testosterone (TT) measurements obtained in the early morning, where the average (Cavg) will be considered baseline value. Each participant will be categorized as having primary or secondary hypogonadism prior to dosing on Day 1.
Participants meeting all eligibility criteria will be assigned to a starting dose of XYOSTED based on their weight and Targeted Tanner Stage on Day 1. The Targeted Tanner Stage will be determined during Screening by an experienced pediatric endocrinologist.
Participants will have dose adjustments during the study to achieve their Targeted Tanner Stage. Dose adjustments will be based on reviewing the TT concentration between doses (Cmid) by measuring serum TT 14 days after the administration of XYOSTED for participants receiving the Q4W schedule, 7 days after the administration of XYOSTED for participants who are on the Q2W schedule, and 4 days after administration of XYOSTED for participants on the Q1W schedule. Participants will be evaluated for further dose adjustments approximately every 3 months to achieve the desired targeted TT level.
Following the 52-week primary study, participants may join a 24-month long-term safety extension study to continue the evaluation of XYOSTED in this population. Participants will return to the clinic at 6-month intervals for evaluation for clinical evaluations, and laboratory and pharmacokinetic assessments.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
CYP3A is a group of enzymes, mainly CYP3A4, in the liver and gut that break down many medicines. Some medicines, supplements and foods (grapefruit, St John’s wort) slow them down or speed them up, which changes how much of a study drug stays in the body.
