Any clinically significant abnormal findings at screening per the Investigator's medical judgement. 4. Elevated PSA (e.g. levels ≥ 4 ng/mL), according to study site's local laboratory reference normal values for adult men. 5. Abnormal serum chemistry values that may indicate clinically significant liver or kidney dysfunction. Other abnormal laboratory values may also be exclusionary, if so considered by the investigator to be clinically significant. 6.

Known hypersensitivity to progestins or testosterone. 9. Any clinically significant abnormal findings at screening per the Investigator's medical judgement. 10. Use of androgens or other anabolic steroids that may affect testosterone measurements. 11. Known active or chronic dermatitis or other severe skin disorder. 12.
