Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of food with various amounts of fat on the absorption of an oral testosterone undecanoate formulation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Pharmacokinetics will be evaluated after the following types of meals: very low fat, low fat, normal diet, high fat, and fasting. Subjects will have one dose of TU administered 30 minutes after the initiation of the meal.
