Brief summary: The objective of the study is to evaluate the bioavailability of CHF6001 after inhaled administration, to characterize the mass balance and route of elimination of CHF6001 along with its relevant metabolites, in healthy male subjects.

Detailed description: This clinical trial is a single centre Phase I study, with a single dose, non-randomized, open-label, uncontrolled design. A total of 8 healthy male subjects were included in the study.

The aim was to assess the absolute bioavailability, the mass balance, and routes of elimination of CHF6001 (Tanimilast) in healthy male subjects, using \[14\^C\]-radiolabelled drug substance, administered as an intravenous (iv) infusion concomitantly with an inhaled (inh) non-radiolabelled dose of CHF6001.

Standard safety assessments were conducted during the study, including safety blood and urine laboratory tests, vital signs, physical examinations, ECGs, and assessment of any adverse events (AE). Blood, urine, and feces samples were collected for pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subject's written informed consent obtained prior to any study-related procedure;
2. Able to understand the study procedures, the risks involved and ability to be trained to use correctly the inhalers and to generate sufficient Peak Inspiratory Flow (PIF), using the In-Check device and Placebo inhaler;
3. Male subjects aged 30 to 55 years inclusive;
4. Body mass index (BMI) within the range of 18 to 35 kg/m\^2 inclusive;
5. Non- or ex-smoker who smoked \< 5 pack years and who stopped smoking \> 1 year prior to screening;
6. Good physical and mental status;
7. Vital signs at screening within limits;
8. 12-lead digitised Electrocardiogram (12-lead ECG) in triplicate considered as normal;
9. Lung function measurements within normal limits at screening;
10. Regular bowel movements at screening;
11. Males with non-pregnant Women of Childbearing Potential (WOCBP) partners: they and/or their partner of childbearing potential must be willing to use a highly effective birth control method in addition to the male condom from the signature of the informed consent and until 90 days after the follow-up visit. Males with pregnant WOCBP partner: they must be willing to use male contraception (condom) from the signature of the informed consent and until 90 days after the follow-up visit.
