Nothing recorded among them since 2026-09-25.
This is a single centre, open-label, single group, non-randomised, single oral dose study in healthy male subjects designed to assess the mass balance recovery, PK, metabolite profile and metabolite identification, and exploratory pharmacodynamics of acoziborole. It is planned to enrol 6 subjects.
All subjects will receive an oral dose of 960 mg [14C] acoziborole on a single occasion as 4 capsules containing a small amount of radioactivity (not more than [NMT] 1000 nCi [37 KBq] 14C).
The present study aims to further understand and quantify the absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination (ADME) of acoziborole in humans through the assessment of the mass balance recovery after a single oral dose of [14C]-acoziborole. The routes and rates of elimination of [14C]-acoziborole will be determined and plasma, urine and faecal samples will be used for metabolic profiling and structural identification.
Subjects will be screened for inclusion in the study up to 28 days before dosing. Subjects will be admitted in the evening on the day before dosing (Day 1).
Subjects will be dosed on the morning of Day 1 following an overnight fast of a minimum of 9 h, and will remain resident in the clinic until up to 240 h after dosing (up to Day 11). Subjects will return to the clinical unit for 5 additional 48 h collection periods, admitting to the clinical unit the evening before the collection period. The additional collection periods will be on Days 14 to 17, 28 to 31, 58 to 61, 88 to 91 and 118 to 121. A follow up call will take place 5 to 10 days post-final discharge to ensure the ongoing wellbeing of subjects.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.
The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².
Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.
Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.
Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.
Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.
After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.
