Brief summary

This is a single-centre, open-label, non-randomized, single dose study in healthy male subjects designed to assess mass balance recovery, metabolite profile and metabolite identification of radio-labeled BC-3781 administered via the intravenous or oral routes.

Detailed description

This is a single-centre, open-label, non-randomised, single dose study to assess the pharmacokinetics, mass balance recovery, and metabolite profiling and identification following administration of iv or oral 14C-BC-3781 to healthy male subjects It is planned to enrol 2 cohorts of 5 subjects or 10 subjects in total. The active substance being investigated in this study is radiolabeled lefamulin (\[14C\] BC 3781), present in the investigational medicinal products (IMPs) as the acetate salt (\[14C\]-BC-3781.Ac). Subjects assigned to Cohort A will receive a single IV administration of 14C-BC-3781 containing 150 mg BC-3781 and not more than (NMT) 4.3 MBq (117 µCi) 14C, administered as an infusion over 60 min after a light breakfast. Subjects assigned to Cohort B will receive a single oral administration of 14C-BC-3781 containing 600 mg BC-3781 and NMT 4.1 MBq (112 µCi) 14C, in the fasted state

Interventions

Lefamulin (BC-3781) is a potent, semi-synthetic antibacterial belonging to a novel class for systemic human use known as the pleuromutilins
