Inclusion criteria

Male subjects aged ≥18 to ≤75 years of age (inclusive) at time of enrollment.
Body mass index (BMI) ≥17 kg/m^2 to < 40 mg^2.
Willing and able to voluntarily provide written informed consent prior to initiation of screening or study-specific procedures.
Able to understand and to follow the protocol requirements, restrictions, and instruction, in the Investigator's opinion
Diagnosed with primary hypogonadism (congenital or acquired) or hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (congenital or acquired).
Hypogonadal males (individual serum testosterone concentrations <350 ng/dL and mean serum testosterone concentrations <300 ng/dL, determined from at least two samples separated at least 48 hours apart and obtained between 6 AM and 10 AM local time).
Testosterone therapy naïve or has discontinued current treatment and completed adequate washout of prior androgen therapy or any other therapy which causes significant change in serum androgen level i.e., clomiphene, anabolic steroids, compounded or over-the-counter androgenic steroid derivatives and dehydroepiandrosterone (45 days or 5 half-lives of the drug, whichever is longer, prior to collection of baseline serum testosterone samples). Washout must be completed prior to collection of baseline serum testosterone samples to determine study eligibility.
An office blood pressure measurement <140 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) for SBP AND <90 mmHg for DBP.
If the subject is on an antihypertensive regimen, he has been on stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to study enrollment.
If the subject is on glucocorticoids >7.5 mg prednisone equivalent per day (e.g., hydrocortisone 30 mg, methylprednisolone 6 mg, or dexamethasone 1.2 mg), he has been on stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to study enrollment with no intention of changing dose for the duration of the study.
Subjects with acceptable laboratory parameters
1. Hematocrit ≤ Upper limit of normal (ULN)
2. Hemoglobin ≤ 16 gm%
3. Prolactin ≤ ULN
4. PSA ≤ 4.0 ng/mL (PSA level between 1.5 to 4.0 ng/mL (both inclusive) for subject who is treated with 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (e.g., dutasteride, finasteride)
5. HbA1c ≤ 9 %
6. ALT ≤ 2.5 x ULN
7. AST ≤ 2.5 x ULN
8. Serum bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dL
No history of addiction to any recreational drug or drug dependence or alcohol abuse (including illicit steroid use) as per Investigator's judgement.
