Lofexidine Mass Balance in Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

• Subject must be a male
• Subject must be between 18 and 50 years of age (inclusive).
• Subject's Body Mass Index (BMI) must be between 18 and 30 kg/m2 (inclusive), and subject must weigh a minimum of 50 kg (110 lbs).
• Subject must voluntarily consent to participate in this study and provide their written informed consent prior to start of any study-specific procedures.
• Subject is willing and able to remain in the study unit for the entire duration of each confinement period.
• Subject's vital signs must be within the following ranges to be included: Vital signs measured sitting after 3 minutes rest; heart rate: 50-90 bpm; systolic BP: 100-140 mmHg; and diastolic BP: 50-90 mmHg. Out-of-range vital signs may be repeated once. Predose vital signs will be assessed by the Principal Investigator or designee (e.g., a medically qualified sub-investigator) prior to study drug administration. The Principal Investigator or designee will verify the eligibility of each subject with out-of-range vital signs and document approval prior to dosing.
• Subject is willing to eat entire meals and snacks provided during confinement at the research facility; and understand that the diet will include foods with high fiber content and possibly prune juice.
• Subject is willing to remain in the clinical research center for a minimum of 7 consecutive days during pre-dose, dose, and post-dose evaluation periods.
• Subject is willing to collect all urine and fecal samples for the duration of the study period as required.
• Subject is willing to use a waterless commode located in a designated dry room for urine and feces collection for the duration of the study period as required.
• Subject is willing to abstain from showering for the first 72 to 96 hours following dose administration. After the restriction from showering is lifted, subject must be willing to provide a urine sample prior to showering for the remainder of the confinement period.

Exclusion Criteria:

• History or presence of clinically significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, hematologic, gastrointestinal, endocrine, immunologic, dermatologic, neurologic, oncologic, or psychiatric disease or any other condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would jeopardize the safety of the subject or the validity of the study results.
• Has a clinically significant abnormal finding on the physical exam, medical history, ECG, or clinical laboratory results at screening.
• History of any syncopal episode or seizures.
• Presence of acute disease state (eg, nausea, vomiting, fever, diarrhea) within 7 days prior to scheduled dose administration.
• History or presence of allergic or adverse response to lofexidine or related drugs.
• Has been on a significantly abnormal diet during the 4 weeks preceding the first dose of study medication.
• Has donated blood or plasma within 30 days prior to the first dose of study medication.
• Has participated in a standard radiolabeled clinical trial within the last 12 months prior to the first dose of study medication or a micro tracer clinical trial within the last 3 months prior to the first dose of study medication.
• Has participated in another clinical trial (randomized subjects only) within 30 days prior to the first dose of study medication.
• Has used any over-the-counter (OTC) medication, including nutritional supplements, within 7 days prior to the first dose of study medication.
• Has used any prescription medication within 14 days prior to the first dose of study medication.
• Has been treated with any known drugs that are moderate or strong inhibitors/inducers of CYP enzymes such as barbiturates, phenothiazines, cimetidine, carbamazepine, etc., within 30 days prior to the first dose of study medication and that in the Investigator's judgment may impact subject safety or the validity of the study results.
• Has smoked or used tobacco products within 60 days prior to the first dose of study medication.
• Has any prior history of substance abuse or treatment (including alcohol) within the past 2 years.
• Has a positive urine screen for drugs of abuse (amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine, cannabinoids, opiates).
• Has had a positive test for, or has been treated for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
• Has orthostatic hypotension at screening defined as a drop in systolic blood pressure ≥ 20 mmHg or a fall in diastolic blood pressure ≥ 10 mmHg following a 2 minute stand. Out-of-range vital signs may be repeated once. Predose vital signs will be assessed by the Principal Investigator or designee (e.g., a medically qualified sub-investigator) prior to study drug administration. The Principal Investigator or designee will verify the eligibility of each subject with out-of-range vital signs and document approval prior to dosing.
• Subjects with a QTcF greater than 450 msec at screening obtained after 5 minutes rest in a supine position using the ECG machine algorithm. The ECGs may be repeated as appropriate in order to confirm values and rule out extraneous results.
• Has irregular bowel habits. ("Irregular" being defined for the purpose of this study as NOT having a bowel movement at least every 2 days.)
• Has been exposed to radiation, including dental or medical imaging such as x ray or tomography, in the 6 months prior to dose administration.
