Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: DITESTExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Cohort 2: single dose of 200 mg (5 x 40 mg) DITEST (fed) followed by a single dose of 200 mg DITEST (fasted) or a single dose of 200 mg DITEST (fasted) followed by single dose of 200 mg (5 x 40 mg) DITEST (fed). The two treatments are separated by a minimum of a 7-day washout period.
Group II: Testosterone undecanoateActive Control2 Interventions
Cohort 1: single dose of 120 mg (3 x 40 mg) DITEST followed by a single dose of 80 mg (2 x 40 mg) testosterone undecanoate or a single dose of 80 mg (2 x 40 mg) testosterone undecanoate followed by single dose of 120 mg (3 x 40 mg) DITEST. The two treatments are separated by a minimum of a 7-day washout period, with both treatments given in the fed state.
