Mass Balance Recovery, Metabolite Profile and Metabolite Identification of [14C]-BIA 9-1067

This is an open-label, single-dose, single-period, non-randomised study in healthy male subjects. Subjects will be screened for eligibility to participate in the study between 28 and 2 days before dosing. Eligible subjects will be admitted to the clinical unit on the evening of the day before dosing (Day -1). Subjects will be dosed on the morning of Day 1 following an overnight fast of approximately 8 h. Blood, urine, faeces and expired air will be collected at predefined time points for mass balance and PK analysis. Subjects will remain resident in the clinic until the morning of Day 22, when they will be discharged as a group.

Single dose administration on a single occasion. The estimated duration of the study from screening until the final return visit is approximately 3.5 months.

• Evidence of renal impairment at screening, as indicated by an estimated creatinine clearance of <90 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault equation;
• History of cardiovascular, neurological, renal, hepatic, chronic respiratory or gastrointestinal disease, or clinically significant psychiatric history as judged by the investigator;

• Donation or loss of greater than 400 mL of blood within the previous 3 months;
• Subjects who are taking, or have taken, any prescribed or over-the-counter drug (other than 2 g per day paracetamol) or herbal remedies in the 14 days before IMP administration. Exceptions may apply on a case by case basis, if considered not to interfere with the objectives of the study, as agreed by the PI and sponsor's medical monitor;
• Failure to satisfy the investigator of fitness to participate for any other reason.
