study to determine bioavailability of sotagliflozin in healthy male and female subjects

Conditions: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus; Healthy Subjects

Summary: primary objective: to assess the absolute bioavailability of sotagliflozin via administration of an intravenous (iv) microdose of a 14c-sotagliflozin tracer on top of a single oral dose of unlabeled sotagliflozin without charcoal administration secondary objectives: * to assess the pk of sotagliflozin and its main metabolite sotagliflozin-3-o-glucuronide (m19) after a single oral dose of sotagliflozin and an iv microdose of a 14c-sotagliflozin tracer without charcoal administration * to assess the safety and tolerability of single doses of sotagliflozin when administered with and without charcoal

study duration per participant is up to 54 days including a screening period of up to 28 days, period 1 of 8 days, period 2 of 8 days, a washout period of at least 10 days, and a follow up period of 12-16 days. the oral drug sotagliflozin is metabolized by the liver and released in the bile juice into the intestine. ingestion of charcoal a few hours after the drug administration circumvents the re-uptake of the drug from the intestine back into the blood circulation; instead, sotagliflozin is eliminated with the feces. by comparison of sotagliflozin drug administration with and without charcoal, the extent of this so-called enterohepatic circulation can be assessed.
