About this study

This single-center, open-label, non-randomized, two-cohort, single-dose pharmacokinetic study will be conducted at a single site in the United States, in which at least 18 young (18-45 years, inclusive) male subjects in Cohort A and 14 elderly (65 years or older) males in Cohort B will be enrolled and dosed to achieve a total of at least 14 completed young subjects and 12 elderly subjects. Seminal fluid and plasma will be collected from Cohort A, whereas only plasma samples will be collected from Cohort B.
