absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of bia 5-1058

Conditions: Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Summary: the purpose of this study is: * to determine the rate and routes of excretion of bia 5-1058 and the mass balance in urine, feces and exhaled air, after a single oral dose of 400 mg 14c labeled bia 5 1058 containing 3.7 megabecquerel (mbq) of radiocarbon; * to determine the pharmacokinetics (pk) of total radioactivity (tra) in plasma and whole blood and to assess the blood-to-plasma ratio; * to determine the pk of bia 5-1058 and its metabolites in plasma.

this was a phase 1, single-center, open-label, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion study in 8 healthy adult male subjects. subjects received a single oral dose of 400 mg bia 5-1058, containing approximately 3.7 mbq (0.08 millisievert \[msv\]) of 14c-bia 5-1058 as oral capsules. screening was between day -21 and day -2 and confinement period was of one period in the clinic involving drug administration on day 1, with admission on day 1 and discharge on day 15 (336 hours post-dose).
