PK study to evaluate serum levels of testosterone post nasal delivery in two cohorts of hypogonadal boys.
ARM 1 - 10 prepubertal, 12-17 years old boys with no prior exposure to TRT will receive single dose of 5.5 mg on day one and single dose of 11 mg on day 2 with repeat blood draws to assess serum levels of testosterone and metabolites. ARM 2 - 10 Tanner Stage 3, 12-17 years old boys on TRT with bone age \>= 13 years will receive single dose of 11 mg on day one, and single dose of 11 mg in the morning and a second 11 mg dose in the afternoon on day 2 with repeat blood draws to assess serum levels of testosterone and metabolites.

Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (Safety)
Safety assessments will include adverse events, clinical laboratory measurements of serum testosterone, DHT and estradiol levels, and vital sign measurements. A phone call will be made 3 days after the patient leaves the clinic to collect any SAEs or AEs that may occur.
Time frame: 5 days
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (Tolerability)
To include a adverse events that relate to tolerability and a patient and healthcare provider questionnaire on ease of use dispenser and gel administration
Time frame: 48 hours (approx)
