First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 3 trial is testing XYOSTED, a testosterone injection, in 100 adolescent males who lack or have low testosterone due to hypogonadism. The study lasts 52 weeks, with a 24-month safety follow-up, and aims to see if the treatment can safely induce or continue puberty. Participants receive regular injections, and doctors monitor hormone levels, growth, and development.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

testosterone enanthate (XYOSTED injection)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a safe and effective testosterone replacement option for adolescent boys with hypogonadism, helping them go through puberty normally.

What could go wrong

This is a single-arm, open-label study with no placebo group, so results may be less definitive. Long-term safety and effectiveness in adolescents are still being established.
