Summary

This is a two-center, open-label study conducted in healthy male and female volunteers at two academic research centers. The study will consist of three single applications of the Nestorone (NES) + testosterone (T) combined gel on the shoulders/upper arms of male participants followed 2 hours later by supervised skin contact by the non-dosed female participants on the application site on days 1, 8, and 15. Effect of Washing or Clothing Barrier to the Application will be assessed.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Male participant - Inclusion Criteria

Men who meet all the following criteria will be eligible for enrollment in the trial:

  • Good health as confirmed by medical history, physical examination, and clinical laboratory tests of blood and urine at the time of screening;

  • A serious systemic disease such as diabetes mellitus (including diabetes controlled with treatment), HIV, or morbid obesity.
  • Current active or ongoing Hepatitis infection
  • Known or suspected current alcohol dependence syndrome, chronic marijuana use, or any illicit drug use that may affect metabolism/transformation of steroid hormones and study treatment compliance.
  • Known active or chronic dermatitis or other severe skin disorder.
  • Desiring fertility within 6 months of study participation.
  • History of severe depression or other serious mental health disorder.
  • Men participating in competitive sports where drug screening for prohibited substances (including anabolic steroids) is routine will be advised of the relative and temporary hazards that participating in this study may have for their sporting status.

  • Current pregnancy.
  • Known hypersensitivity to progestins or testosterone.
  • Any clinically significant abnormal findings at screening per the Investigator's medical judgement.
  • Use of androgens or other anabolic steroids that may affect testosterone measurements.
  • Known active or chronic dermatitis or other severe skin disorder.
  • Known or suspected current alcohol dependence syndrome, chronic marijuana use, or any illicit drug use that may affect metabolism/transformation of steroid hormones and study treatment compliance.
