Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Secondary hypogonadal males between the ages of 18 and 65
- Men currently using topical testosterone products should wash-out for at least 7 days before Visit 1.
- All clinical laboratory tests within normal ranges (any clinically significant deviation of laboratory results will require approval of sponsor)

- Ability to complete the study in compliance with the protocol
- Ability to understand and provide written informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Use of an injectable pelleted testosterone within 6 months prior to study (men currently on topical testosterone products may be enrolled in the study after a 7-day washout period).
- Use testosterone injection, spironolactone, cimetidine, Clomid, 5α-reductase inhibitors, hCG, androgen, estrogen, anabolic steroid, DHEA, or herbal hormone products during the study

- Use of an investigational drug or product, or participation in a drug or medical device research study within 30 days prior to receiving study medication.
- Known hypersensitivity to Clomid
- Symptomatic cataracts (nuclear sclerosis cataract or cortical cataract grade > 2 based on 0-4 scale or any trace of posterior subcapsular cataract)
- Any condition which in the opinion of the investigator would interfere with the participant's ability to provide informed consent, comply with study instructions, possibly confound interpretation of study results, or endanger the participant if he took part in the study
- Irreversibly infertile or compromised fertility (cryptorchism, Kallman Syndrome, primary hypogonadism, or tumors of the pituitary)
- Current or history of breast cancer
- Current or history of prostate cancer or a suspicion of prostate disease unless ruled out by prostate biopsy, or a PSA > 3.6
