A Study to Determine How Tebapivat is Absorbed, Broken Down, and Removed From the Body and the Extent to Which Tebapivat is Made Available in the Body in Healthy Participants

March 17, 2025 updated by: Agios Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

A Phase I, Open-label Study to Evaluate the Absorption, Metabolism, and Excretion and to Assess the Absolute Bioavailability Following a Single Oral Dose of [14C]-Tebapivat and Concomitant Single Intravenous Microdose of [13C2,15N3]-Tebapivat to Healthy Male Participants

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the routes, rates of elimination, mass balance of total radioactivity and metabolite profiles following a single oral dose of [14C]-tebapivat. To characterize the PK of tebapivat and [13C2,15N3]-tebapivat and determine the absolute bioavailability following single oral dose of [14C]-tebapivat relative to single intravenous microdose of [13C2,15N3]-tebapivat to healthy male participants.

  3. In good health, as determined by no clinically significant findings from medical history, 12-lead ECG and vital signs measurements, and clinical laboratory evaluations (congenital nonhemolytic hyperbilirubinemia [e.g., suspicion of Gilbert's syndrome based on total and direct bilirubin] is not acceptable) at screening and check-in, and from the physical examination at check-in, as assessed by the investigator or designee.
  4. History of a minimum of 1 bowel movement per day.
  5. Able to comprehend and are willing to sign the informed consent form (ICF) and abide by the study restrictions.

  13. Alcohol consumption of >21 units per week. One unit of alcohol equals 12 ounces (oz) (360 milliliters (mL)) beer, 1½ oz (45 mL) liquor, or 5 oz (150 mL) wine.
  14. Positive urine drug screen at screening or positive alcohol test result or positive urine drug screen at check-in.
  15. History of alcoholism or drug/chemical abuse within 2 years prior to check-in.
  16. Use of tobacco- or nicotine-containing products within 3 months prior to check-in, or positive cotinine at screening or check-in.
  17. Receipt of blood products within 2 months prior to check-in.
  18. Donation of blood from 3 months prior to screening, plasma from 2 weeks prior to screening, or platelets from 6 weeks prior to screening.
  19. Poor peripheral venous access.
