A Study to Assess the Mass Balance Recovery, Metabolite Profile and Metabolite Identification of [14C]AZD9833

A Phase I, Open-Label, Single-Dose, Single-Period Study to Assess the Mass Balance Recovery, Metabolite Profile and Metabolite Identification of [14C]AZD9833 After Oral Administration in Healthy Post-Menopausal Female Subjects

The Sponsor is developing the test medicine, AZD9833 for the potential treatment of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer.

This single-part, healthy volunteer study will try to identify how the test medicine is taken up, broken down and removed from the body. To help investigate this, the test medicine is radiolabelled, which means that the test medicine has a radioactive component (carbon-14) which helps us to track where the test medicine is in the body. The safety and tolerability of the test medicine will also be studied.

This study will take place at one non-NHS site, and will consist of a single study period involving up to 6 post-menopausal female volunteers, aged between 50 to 70 years.

The Sponsor is developing the test medicine, AZD9833 for the potential treatment of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer.

Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer in the UK and worldwide. Most women diagnosed with breast cancer are over the age of 50, but younger women and men can also get breast cancer. AZD9833 has the potential to prevent ER activity and increase overall survival in advanced breast cancer patients.

This single-part, healthy volunteer study will try to identify how the test medicine is taken up, broken down and removed from the body. To help investigate this, the test medicine is radiolabelled, which means that the test medicine has a radioactive component (carbon-14) which helps us to track where the test medicine is in the body. The safety and tolerability of the test medicine will also be studied.

This study will take place at one non-NHS site, and will consist of a single study period involving up to 6 post-menopausal female volunteers, aged between 50 to 70 years.

On Day 1, volunteers will receive a 75 mg dose of [14C]AZD9833 oral solution in the fasted state (on an empty stomach).

Volunteer's blood, urine and faeces will be taken throughout the study for analysis of the test medicine and it's breakdown products (metabolites) and for volunteer safety.

Volunteers will remain in the clinical unit until Day 8, however if the relevant radioactivity criteria have not been met, volunteers may be required to remain at the clinic until Day 10. If relevant criteria have not been met at this point, home collections of urine and/or faeces may be required.

Volunteers are expected to be involved in this study for approximately 6 weeks from screening to discharge.

• Must have regular bowel movements (i.e. average stool production of ≥1 and ≤3 stools per day)

Exclusion Criteria:

• History of any clinically significant disease or disorder which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may either put the volunteer at risk because of participation in the study, or influence the results or the volunteer's ability to participate in the study

• History or presence of GI, hepatic or renal disease, or any other condition known to interfere with absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of drugs

• Any clinically significant illness, medical/surgical procedure, or trauma within 4 weeks of the first administration of IMP

• Any clinically significant abnormal findings in vital signs at screening as judged by the Investigator, including systolic BP <100 mmHg, diastolic BP <50 mmHg or heart rate <50 bpm. Vital signs outside these limits can be repeated once for confirmation

• Any clinically significant abnormalities on 12-lead ECG at screening, as judged by the Investigator, including non-sinus rhythms, PR interval <120 msec or >220 msec, ventricular rate <50 bpm or >100 bpm, QRS interval >120 msec, or QTcF >470 msec as a mean of triplicate. ECGs can be repeated once in triplicate if parameters are outside these limits for confirmation

COVID-19 vaccines are accepted concomitant medications. Exceptions may apply, as determined by the Investigator, if each of the following criteria are met: medication with a short half-life if the washout is such that no PD activity is expected by the time of dosing with IMP; and if the use of medication does not jeopardise the safety of the trial subject; and if the use of medication is not considered to interfere with the objectives of the study
