This study is a phase III, open label safety study with a six month active dosing period. All subjects will be started at 12.5 mg Androxal and titrated to 25 mg if needed. Safety will be assessed by physical and visual acuity exams, slit lamp eye exams, clinical laboratory tests and adverse event reporting.

• Secondary hypogonadal males between the ages of 18 and 65
• Men currently using topical testosterone products should wash-out for at least 7 days before Visit 1.
• All clinical laboratory tests within normal ranges (any clinically significant deviation of laboratory results will require approval of sponsor)
• Previously or concurrently diagnosed as having secondary hypogonadism and confirmed with morning testosterone level < 350 ng/dL for men age < 55 and < 300ng/dl for men age 55-65
• LH < 15mIU/mL (at Visit 1 only)
• Ability to complete the study in compliance with the protocol
• Ability to understand and provide written informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

• Use of an injectable pelleted testosterone within 6 months prior to study (men currently on topical testosterone products may be enrolled in the study after a 7-day washout period).
