MeasureTime frameDescription
Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from 0 to 24 hours (AUC0-24) of ElpipodectPredose and postdose up to 24 hoursBlood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-24 of elpipodect.
Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to Last (AUC0-Last) of ElpipodectPredose and at designated timepoints up to Day 15Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUClast of elpipodect.
Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to Infinity (AUC0-Inf) of ElpipodectPredose and at designated timepoints up to Day 15Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-inf of elpipodect.
Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of ElpipodectPredose and at designated timepoints up to Day 15Blood samples will be collected to determine the Cmax of elpipodect.
Apparent Half Life (t½) of ElpipodectPredose and at designated timepoints up to Day 15Blood samples will be collected to determine the t1/2 of elpipodect.
Time to Reach Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of ElpipodectPredose and at designated timepoints up to Day 15Blood samples will be collected to determine the Tmax of elpipodect.
Amount Excreted (Ae) in Urine of ElpipodectPredose and at designated timepoints up to Day 15Urine samples will be collected to determine the Ae of elpipodect
%Dose Excreted in Urine of ElpipodectPredose and at designated timepoints up to Day 15Urine samples will be collected to determine the %dose of elpipodect
Amount Excreted (Ae) in Feces of ElpipodectPredose and at designated timepoints up to Day 15Feces samples will be collected to determine the Ae of elpipodect.
%Dose Excreted in Feces of ElpipodectPredose and at designated timepoints up to Day 15Feces samples will be collected to determine the %dose of elpipodect.
Metabolites in Plasma of ElpipodectPredose and at designated timepoints up to Day 15Blood samples will be collected to determine the metabolites of elpipodect.
Metabolites in Urine of ElpipodectPredose and at designated timepoints up to Day 15Urine samples will be collected to determine the metabolites of elpipodect.
Metabolites in Feces of ElpipodectPredose and at designated timepoints up to Day 15Feces samples will be collected to determine the metabolites of elpipodect.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants Experiencing an Adverse Event (AE)Up to ~ 28 daysAn AE is any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. For each arm, the number of participants experiencing an AE will be assessed.
Number of Participants Discontinuing Study Treatment due to an AEUp to ~ 28 daysAn AE is any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. For each arm, the number of participants experiencing an AE will be assessed.
