Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Profile From Time Zero to Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC Last) (Dose Normalized to 1 mg) and Absolute Oral Bioavailability (F) (Period 1)
Oral: 0, 15 and 30 min., and at 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hrs. after oral dose; IV: -5 min. (predose), 0 (end of infusion), and at 10, 20, 30, and 45 min. and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 23, 47, 71, and 95 hrs. after end of infusion

AUC0-inf is a measure of the mean concentration levels of drug in the plasma after the drug dose. An absolute bioavailability provides information on the amount of a drug reaching the systemic circulation and can be determined by comparing the plasma concentration-time-curves (area under the curve) of a compound after oral application of that compound to that after intravenous application of the same compound.

Secondary Endpoints

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Profile From Time Zero to Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC Last) Following Administration of Unlabeled Ertugliflozin 15 mg Oral + 14^C-Ert. 100 ug IV (Period 1) (Dose Not Normalized to 1 mg)
Oral: 0, 15 and 30 min., and at 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hrs. after oral dose; IV: -5 min. (predose), 0 (end of infusion), and at 10, 20, 30, and 45 min. and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 23, 47, 71, and 95 hrs. after end of infusion
Pharmacokinetic Parameter: (AUC Inf) Following Administration of Unlabeled Ertugliflozin 15 mg Oral + 14^C-Ertugliflozin 100 ug IV (Period 1)
Oral: 0, 15 and 30 min., and at 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hrs. after oral dose; IV: -5 min. (predose), 0 (end of infusion), and at 10, 20, 30, and 45 min. and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 23, 47, 71, and 95 hrs. after end of infusion
Pharmacokinetic Parameter: Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) Following Administration of Unlabeled Ertugliflozin 15 mg Oral + 14^C-Ertugliflozin 100 ug IV (Period 1) (Dose Normalized to 1 mg)
Oral: 0, 15 and 30 min., and at 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hrs. after oral dose; IV: -5 min. (predose), 0 (end of infusion), and at 10, 20, 30, and 45 min. and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 23, 47, 71, and 95 hrs. after end of infusion

ArmTypeDescription
ErtugliflozinEXPERIMENTALPeriod 1: Oral dose of 15 mg unlabeled ertugliflozin + intravenous (IV) dose of 100 µg 14\^C-labeled ertugliflozin containing approximately 400 nCi 14\^C. The 14\^C IV dose will be administered as an infusion over approximately 5 minutes starting at 55 minutes after the unlabeled oral dose. → Period 2: Oral dose 15 mg unlabeled ertugliflozin + oral dose of 100 µg 14\^C-labeled ertugliflozin containing approximately 400 nCi 14\^C. Both the unlabeled and 14\^C-ertugliflozin will be administered at the same time (no more than 5 minutes apart). Dosing in Periods 1 and 2 will be separated by a washout of at least 11 days.
