Healthy Subjects
Conditions
Brief summary
The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the rate and routes (urine and feces) of elimination of ACT-132577, and the mass balance in urine and feces
Interventions
Single oral dose of 3.7 megabecquerel (MBq) (100 microcurie \[μCi\]) 14C-radiolabeled ACT-132577 administered as 1 capsule of 25 mg

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Cumulative excretion of radioactivity in urine and feces | From study treatment administration up to day 15 | 14C-radioactivity will be measured daily in urine and feces samples for determination of total radioactivity recovery |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of 14C-radiolabeled ACT-132577 | From study treatment administration up to day 15 | Cmax is directly derived from the observed plasma concentrations of ACT-132577 and its metabolites |
| Time to reach Cmax (tmax) of 14C-radiolabeled ACT-132577 | From study treatment administration up to day 15 | tmax is directly derived from the observed plasma concentrations of ACT-132577 and its metabolites |
| Terminal half-life (t1/2) of 14C-radiolabeled ACT-132577 | From study treatment administration up to day 15 | t1/2 is calculated from the terminal rate constant obtained from the plasma concentrations-time curves of ACT-132577 and its metabolites |
| Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of 14C-radiolabeled ACT-132577 | From study treatment administration up to day 15 | AUC is defined for the time intervals from zero to time t of the last measured concentration above the limit of quantification and from zero to infinity |
| Number of subjects with treatment-emergent adverse events and serious adverse events | From study treatment administration up to day 32 | Collection of any adverse event at each dose level |
| Time to reach Cmax (tmax) of ACT-132577 and its metabolites | From study treatment administration up to day 15 | tmax is directly derived from the observed plasma concentrations of ACT-132577 and its metabolites |
