Clarus Therapeutics, a seven-year old company that is bleeding cash with practically no product revenue, is trying their luck at a new oral testosterone medication. The company is pinning its hopes on OriTex. OriTex is a new oral testosterone replacement treatment. Most individuals requiring testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) would prefer the ease and convenience of a pill over the messy testosterone gels or irritating testosterone patches or fear-provoking testosterone injections. Oral testosterone products have historically been beset with several problems. Methyltestosterone, one of the first attempts at an orally-active testosterone product, was beset with liver toxicity problems with long-term use. Even recent attempts, such as Andriol, have produced less-than-stellar therapeutic results for a high percentage of patients. [Read more…]
