A Study to Assess Mass Balance Recovery, Metabolite Profile and Identification of IV and Oral 14C-BC-3781

This is a single-centre, open-label, non-randomised, single dose study to assess the pharmacokinetics, mass balance recovery, and metabolite profiling and identification following administration of iv or oral 14C-BC-3781 to healthy male subjects It is planned to enrol 2 cohorts of 5 subjects or 10 subjects in total. The active substance being investigated in this study is radiolabeled lefamulin ([14C] BC 3781), present in the investigational medicinal products (IMPs) as the acetate salt ([14C]-BC-3781.Ac).

Subjects assigned to Cohort A will receive a single IV administration of 14C-BC-3781 containing 150 mg BC-3781 and not more than (NMT) 4.3 MBq (117 µCi) 14C, administered as an infusion over 60 min after a light breakfast.

Subjects assigned to Cohort B will receive a single oral administration of 14C-BC-3781 containing 600 mg BC-3781 and NMT 4.1 MBq (112 µCi) 14C, in the fasted state
