Treatment and study plan

Testosterone enanthate auto-injector

Combination Product

Dose Adjustment 50 mg or 75 mg or 100 mg based upon Testosterone levels

Other names: Testosterone, Testosterone enanthate, QuickShot® Testosterone (QST)

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety of QuickShot™ Testosterone (QST) Administered Subcutaneously (SC) Once Each Week to Adult Males With Hypogonadism

    Time frame: 26 weeks

    Number of participants experiencing adverse events that started on or after the first dose of QST, or existed prior to the first dose and woresened in severity or relatedness to QST after dosing, were evaluated in this population.

    Although a patient may have had 2 or more TEAEs or SAEs, the patient was counted only once within a SOC category. The same patient may have contributed to 2 or more preferred term categories. (Four patients had a total of 9 SAEs during the study)
