a study to assess the mass balance recovery, metabolite profile and metabolite identification of [14c]-sk-1405

Conditions: Pruritus

Summary: the primary objectives of the study are: * to assess the mass balance recovery after a single po dose of \[14c\]-sk-1405 * to provide plasma, urine and faecal samples for metabolite profiling and structural identification
