A Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Absorption, Metabolism, and Excretion of PA-824 in Healthy Adult Male Subjects.

A Phase 1, Open-Label, Single-Dose Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Absorption, Metabolism, and Excretion of [14C]-PA 824 in Healthy Adult Male Subjects.

This study is a Phase 1, single-center, open-label, single-dose study to evaluate (1) the absorption, metabolism, and excretion patterns of a single dose of [14C] PA-824, and (2) the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of a single oral-suspension dose of unlabeled PA-824 in healthy adult male subjects. Unlabeled PA-824 and [14C]-PA-824 will be administered together in an oral-suspension formulation. Enrollment is planned for one dose group of 6 subjects. All 6 subjects will receive the same treatment.

4. Have a history of regular bowel movements (5-6 movements week, ideally 1 per day), as deemed by the Principal Investigator in consultation with the Sponsor Medical Monitor.
5. Have negative urinalysis test results for drugs of abuse such as amphetamines, cannabinoids, and cocaine metabolites
