A Phase 1 (Ph1), Single Dose (SD), GSK961081 Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion (ADME) Study in Healthy Subjects

An Open-label Study in Healthy Male Subjects, to Determine the Excretion Balance and Pharmacokinetics of [14C]-GSK961081, Administered as a Single Intravenous Microtracer (Concomitant With an Inhaled Non-radiolabelled Dose) and a Single Oral Dose

Batefenterol (GSK961081) is a bifunctional bronchodilator that is being developed for the treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Absorption, metabolism and excretion of batefenterol have been studied in animals, in vitro, and in previous clinical studies; however, the elimination routes and metabolic pathways of batefenterol have not been fully elucidated in humans. This is an open-label, single centre, non-randomised, 2-period single-sequence crossover, mass balance study to determine total radioactivity (drug related material) in plasma, the rate and extent of excretion of total radioactivity in urine and faeces and the total recovery of radioactivity of [14C] GSK961081 administered as a single IV dose (concomitant with an inhaled non-radiolabelled dose) and a single oral dose, in healthy male subjects. A total of 6 healthy male subjects will be enrolled. The duration of each subject in the study is up to 11 weeks, which consists of a screening visit, 2 Treatment Periods, and a follow up visit.
