Study summary

This will be a Phase I, open-label, nonrandomized, single-dose study in healthy male subjects.

Read the detailed description

Potential subjects will be screened to assess their eligibility to enter the study within 28 days prior to the dose administration. Subjects will be admitted into the Clinical Research Unit (CRU) on Day -1 and be confined to the CRU until at least Day 8. On Day 1, subjects will receive a single oral dose of [14C]-saroglitazar magnesium. Subjects will be discharged if the following discharge criteria are met: plasma radioactivity levels below the limit of quantitation for 2 consecutive collections and ≥ 90% mass balance recovery, or ≤ 1% of the total radioactive dose is recovered in combined excreta (urine and feces) in 3 consecutive 24-hour periods in which both are collected. If discharge criteria are not met by Day 8, subjects will remain in the CRU up to Day 12.

Subjects who have participated in a radiolabeled drug study where exposures are known to the Investigator within the previous 4 months prior to admission to the clinic for this study or participated in a radiolabeled drug study where exposures are not known to the Investigator within the previous 6 months prior to admission to the clinic for this study. The total 12-month exposure from this study and a maximum of 2 other previous radiolabeled studies within 4 to 12 months prior to this study will be within the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) recommended levels considered safe, per United States (US) Title 21 CFR 361.1: less than 5,000 mrem whole-body annual exposure with consideration given to the half-lives of the previous radiolabeled study drugs received.
  22. Subjects who, in the opinion of the Investigator (or designee), should not participate in this study.
