Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Responder rate: percentage of patients whose Cavg serum total testosterone levels are between 300 and 1050 ng/dL following treatment with each of three volumes of FE 999303 applied with an applicator [ Time Frame: Days 15-21, Days 22-28 & Days 29-35 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Responder rate: percentage of patients whose Cavg serum total testosterone levels are between 300 and 1050 ng/dL following treatment with one volume of FE 999303 applied by hand [ Time Frame: Days 1-7 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Pharmacokinetics of total testosterone and DHT (dihydrotestosterone) measuring AUCτ, Tmax, Cmax, Cavg, Cmin, and T1/2 [ Time Frame: Day 21, 28 & 35 (applicator) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Pharmacokinetics of total testosterone and DHT (dihydrotestosterone) measuring AUCτ, Tmax, Cmax, Cavg, Cmin, and T1/2 [ Time Frame: Day 7 (hand) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
