Overview

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.
