Brief Summary

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

This study is a continuation of previous studies done in healthy volunteers to prove the efficacy of delivering Testosterone, the male hormone, rapidly across intact skin in s series of doses from low to high in men with low-to-no natural testosterone production to measure their response to the varying doses. The results of this study will inform further studies which will be longer in length, as to the starting doses. The study will be conducted in London, U.K. at the Advanced Therapies Centre, The London Clinic.

Detailed Description

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

48 Patients will be enrolled following 2 independent verifying blood tests of their diagnosis of Hypogonadism. there will be 4 cohorts of 12 subjects, each receiving doses of the trail materials, titrated by means of number of sprays applied. Doses will range from 10 to 70 mgs Testosterone.
