A Single-center, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Phase 1 Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Single- and Multiple-ascending Doses of ACT-777991 in Healthy Subjects

A study to examine the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single- and multiple-ascending doses of ACT-777991 in healthy subjects.

General Inclusion Criteria:

• Signed informed consent in a language understandable to the subject prior to any study-mandated procedure.

• History or clinical evidence of any disease and/or existence of any surgical or medical condition, which, in the opinion of the investigator, are likely to interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of the study treatment.

Exclusion Criteria for the absorption,distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) evaluation:

• Radiation exposure, excluding background radiation but including diagnostic X-rays and other medical exposures, exceeding 5 milli sievert (mSv) in the last 12 months or 10 mSv in the last 5 years. Occupationally exposed workers, as defined in the relevant Ionising Radiation Regulations, must not participate in the study.
• Participation in any study involving administration of any Carbon-14 (14C) radiolabeled compound within the 12 months prior to Screening.
