A Study to Assess the Bioequivalence of Follitropin Alfa Solution in Pen and Follitropin Alfa Powder in Vial in Healthy Downregulated Male Participants

Description

The purpose of this study is to assess the bioequivalence of Test and Reference in healthy downregulated male participants. This is a 2-sequence, 2-period study using the following treatment sequences across Study Periods 1 and 2. At the end of the first Downregulation period (DR1), eligible participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of the 2 treatment sequences: Sequence 1: Test - Reference Sequence 2: Reference - Test Where, Test = follitropin alfa (solution for injection in prefilled pen), and Reference = follitropin alfa (powder and diluent for solution for injection in vial). The total duration of the study will be up to approximately 9 weeks.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Are overtly healthy, as determined by medical evaluation, including medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and cardiac monitoring
  • * Have a normal baseline testosterone level
  • * Have a body weight of more than equal to 60 kilograms and Body Mass Index within the range 18 to 30 kilograms per meter square
  • * Other protocol defined inclusion criteria could apply
