Condition(s) targeted: Hypogonadism; Hypogonadism, Male

Intervention: Nanomilled testosterone (Drug); Nanomilled dutasteride (Drug); commercially available dutasteride (Drug)

Phase: Phase 2

Summary

The combination of testosterone and dutasteride is intended for use in hypogonadal men. This study will evaluate the effect of 28-day repeat dosing of this combination with varying BID doses of testosterone (T), in combination with a fixed BID dose of dutasteride (D), as well as a testosterone alone arm, on T and D levels in the blood. The rationale is to look for the effects of each compound on the other, and to look for any safety problems that may result when the 2 drugs are given together.
