A Randomized, Single Blind, Multi-Center Phase II Study to Evaluate the Effect of Three Different Doses of Androxal and AndroGel on 24-Hour Luteinizing Hormone and Testosterone in Normal Healthy Men

The study will determine the effects of three doses of Androxal(enclomiphene citrate)on
morning testosterone versus AndroGel(approved topical treatment)in men with low testosterone
(<350 ng/dL)after 6 weeks of continuous dosing.

Study will require 7 visits, which includes 2 overnight stays in a clinic. One visit is an
eye exam. Blood samples are required at all visits including sampling every hour for a 24
hour time period during the 2 overnight stays. A six month extension study will be available
for all subjects completing the 6-week study.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Healthy males between the ages of 18 and 65 years of age exhibiting morning
testosterone ≤350 ng/dL.

deviation of laboratory results will require approval of sponsor)

- Ability to complete the study in compliance with the protocol

- Ability to understand and provide written informed consent

- Agreement to use a condom, and with a fertile female partner, another form of
contraception.
