Healthy men test two versions of fertility drug in bioequivalence study
NCT ID NCT07097259
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a new liquid form of follitropin alfa (a hormone used for fertility) works the same as the standard powder form. Fifty-five healthy men with low testosterone levels were given both versions at different times. The goal was to compare how the drug is absorbed by the body, not to treat any condition.
