(Clarus) (Nasdaq:CRXT), a pharmaceutical company dedicated to providing solutions to unmet medical needs by advancing androgen and metabolic therapies for men and women, today announced that it has closed its previously announced definitive agreement to sell securities in a private placement with a leading healthcare investor.
