A Study to Evaluate Metabolism, Excretion, and Mass Balance of [14C]Vapendavir

Phase 1

Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: Healthy Males
• Interventions: Drug: Vapendavir

• Registration Number: NCT06834295
• Lead Sponsor: Altesa Biosciences, Inc.

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess how the body processes, breaks down and removes a new test medicine (vapendavir) from the body in healthy male participants.The main question it aims to answer is how the body handles the test medicine. In order to do that, the test medicine will be radiolabeled to track the test medicine in the body.

Healthy male participants who meet entry criteria will be admitted to the clinic for a duration of approximately 9 days (Day -1 to Day 8). Participants will be admitted in the evening on the day before dosing (Day -1). Participants will take a single oral dose of radiolabeled vapendavir on Day 1 and have samples collected and safety tests completed during various times throughout their stay in the the clinic. The safety tests will provide additional information on the safety and tolerability of the test medicine.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Open-label, non-randomized, single-dose of [14C]Vapendavir	Vapendavir	Single oral dose of \[14C\]Vapendavir

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To determine the mass balance recovery after a single oral dose of carbon-14 ([14C])vapendavir.	From enrollment until the mass balance criteria have been met (~ 8 days).	Mass balance recovery of total radioactivity in all excreta (urine and feces): CumAe and Cum%Ae.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To determine the routes and rates of elimination of [14C]vapendavir.	From enrollment until the mass balance criteria have been met (~ 8 days).	Determination of routes and rates of elimination of \[14C\]vapendavir by Ae, %Ae, CumAe and Cum%Ae by interval.
To evaluate the extent of distribution of total radioactivity into blood cells.	From enrollment until the mass balance criteria have been met (~ 8 days).	Evaluation of whole blood: plasma concentration ratios for total radioactivity.
To perform metabolite profiling and structural identification from plasma, urine and fecal samples.	From enrollment until the mass balance criteria have been met (~ 8 days).	Identification of the chemical structure of each metabolite accounting for greater than or equal to 10% of circulating radioactivity in plasma ("AUC pool"), and accounting for greater than or equal to 10% of the dose in urine (from urine pools) and feces (fecal homogenate pools) will be performed.
To identify the chemical structure of each metabolite accounting for more than 10% of circulating total radioactivity or accounting for 10% or more of the dose in excreta.	From enrollment until the mass balance criteria have been met (~ 8 days).	Identification of the chemical structure of each metabolite accounting for more than 10% by AUC of circulating total radioactivity or accounting for 10% or more of the dose in excreta.
To provide additional safety and tolerability information for vapendavir by assessing: incidence of adverse events (AEs), new physical examination findings and change from baseline for vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and laboratory safety tests.	From enrollment until the mass balance criteria have been met (~ 8 days).	Descriptive summaries for all safety data (AEs, vital signs, ECGs and safety laboratory assessments) will be provided.
To further explore the oral pharmacokinetic (PK) of vapendavir. To characterise the PK of vapendavir and total radioactivity in plasma following a single oral dose of [14C]vapendavir.	From enrollment until the mass balance criteria have been met (~ 8 days).	Apparent volume of distribution based on the terminal phase calculated using AUC(0-inf) after a single extravascular administration where F (fraction of dose bioavailable) is unknown (Vd/F).
