Secondary Hypogonadism • Majority of men with low T have secondary hypogonadism • Results from a suppression of secretion of pituitary hormones – Obese men are estrogenized • LH & FSH secretions are low to low normal • Testosterone Levels <300ng/dl • Men with secondary h ypogonadism are typically s till f ertile Testes Hypothalamus/ Pituitary Axis • Luteinizing hormone (LH) drives Leydig cell production of testosterone • Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) drives spermatogenesis in the Sertoli cells of the testes Testes Hypothalamus / Pituitary Axis

 
 

Approved T Replacement Products Shutdown Testicular Function Testes Hypothalamus / Pituitary Axis • Pituitary secretions decrease or shut down • Testicular function decreases or shuts down • 30% of men castrated at the level of the pituitary Leydig Cell Activity Suppressed Spermatogenesis Suppressed Leading to Infertility T Over 30% of men with secondary hypogonadism administered an approved topical testosterone have undetectable pituitary and testicular function They are castrated at the level of the pituitary Exogenous T & Endogenous Estrogen provide negative feedback

Androxal Restores Normal Testicular Function Testes Increased T estosterone Secretion Androxal • Androxal blocks estrogen at the level of the pituitary • Allows responsiveness to low T conditions • Leads to increased LH & FSH to stimulate normal testicular function • Increased LH and FSH levels T Hypothalamus / Pituitary Axis

 
 

FDA Accepts Phase 3 Protocol Under an SPA • Phase 3 pivotal studies to be conducted under SPA – 2 identical trials (BMI > 25, Age ≤ 60) • 152 subjects in each trial (114 on Androxal , 38 on placebo) – Men with morning T<300 ng / dL assessed twice on two separate days • Up - titration from 12.5 to 25 • 3 month duration – Co - primary endpoints • 75% of men achieve T in normal range (300 - 1040 ng / dL ) • Non inferior to placebo regarding change in sperm counts • Safety Requirements – >100 for one year – >800 for 6 months – 100 subject one year DEXA study (bone marker data suggests Androxal builds bone) • Goal to Submit NDA Q2 2014

Third Party Study Indicates Favorable Reimbursement Potential for Androxal Majority of payers believe Androxal’s oral administration and non - chronic use may offer overall cost savings – Third party assessment of payers indicates vast majority (>90%) would add Androxal to formularies • Cost will be key for tier placement • 50% of plans indicated they would require a PA(Prior Authorization) to show proper diagnosis • 62 % of respondents expect Androxal to be priced at parity to Androgel • Anticipated Androxal pricing of $170 - 350/month would be competitive with Androgel

 
 

Androxal Take Home Message • Because of Obesity, 30% of American Males are at Risk of Secondary Hypogonadism – Co - morbidities include diabetes and cardiovascular disease • Approved T Products Worsen the Underlying Condition • We believe only Androxal + Diet + Exercise can reverse this disorder
