ABSTRACT: Inhaled batefenterol is an investigational bifunctional molecule for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The excretion balance and pharmacokinetics of batefenterol using [14 C]-radiolabeled drug administered orally and as intravenous (IV) infusion were assessed. In this 2-period, open-label study, 6 healthy male subjects received a single IV microtracer 1-hour infusion of 4 μg [14 C]-batefenterol concomitant with inhaled nonradiolabeled batefenterol (1200 μg) followed by oral [14 C]-batefenterol (200 μg) in period 2 after a 14-day washout. The primary end points included: the area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to last time of quantifiable concentration (AUC0-t ); maximum observed concentration (Cmax ); and time of occurrence of maximum observed concentration. Following IV administration, the geometric mean AUC0-t of [14 C]-batefenterol was 121.9 pgEq • h/mL; maximum observed concentration and time of occurrence of maximum observed concentration were 92.7 pgEq/mL and 0.8 hours, respectively; absolute oral bioavailability was 0.012%. The mean AUC0-t ratio indicated that [14 C]-batefenterol accounted for 85% of total circulating radioactivity in the plasma initially and declined rapidly following IV administration, but only ∼0.2% of total circulating radioactivity following oral administration. Cumulative mean recovery of total radioactive [14 C]-batefenterol in urine and feces was 6.31% and 77.6%, respectively. Overall, batefenterol exhibited low systemic bioavailability after inhaled and oral administration, and high fecal excretion and low urinary excretion following IV and oral administration.
