Recruitment Details
Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations
Subjects were recruited in 63 centers in US from February 2007 to April 2007 in clinics. The study was designed with a double-blind period of 182 days on Placebo or Androgel 1.62% followed by an 182 days open-label period on Androgel 1.62%.

Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
All subjects started at a daily dose of 2.50 g testosterone gel 1.62% or matching placebo on Day 1. Within 2 days of each of visits (D14, D28 and D42), the dose was titrated up or down in 1.25 g steps if necessary, based on pre-specified normal range criteria, by an unblinded reviewer. The minimum and maximum daily doses were 1.25 g and 5.0 g.

Reporting Groups
  Description
Placebo Placebo comparator administered during the Double-Blind period only
T-Gel 1.62% Testosterone (T): daily dose of 2.50 g testosterone gel 1.62% administered during the Double-Blind period and the Open-Label period.
