Plain English Summary
Background and study aims
Influenza, known as the flu, is a common viral infection that can cause symptoms such as high fevers, chills, tiredness, muscle aches, headache and cough. Most otherwise healthy people make a full recovery from a flu infection. However, people with certain health problems such as severe asthma, or very young or elderly people may develop life-threatening complications from the flu. There are many different types of flu virus and the virus changes frequently. Therefore vaccination cannot guarantee protection against all types of flu. Current treatments for flu that can be bought from a pharmacy may alleviate only some of the symptoms. Treatments that can be prescribed by a doctor must be taken over several days and may slightly shorten the duration of the flu but do not work for all types of flu. The aim of this study is to look at how radiolabelled S-033188 (the study drug) is taken up, broken down and removed from the body when taken by mouth as an oral suspension (a drink). ‘Radiolabelled’ means that the test drug has a radioactive component, a tag, which helps us to track where the drug goes as it moves through and out of the body. It is hoped that the study drug will provide information about a treatment for flu that can be taken as a one-off dose and will decrease the duration and complications of flu infection.
Who can participate?
Healthy male volunteers aged between 30 and 65
What does the study involve?
The study involves a screening visit, a study visit and a follow-up visit. The screening visit involves a discussion about medical history; a breath test for smoking and alcohol; a urine test for drugs of abuse; weight and height measurements; blood and urine tests for safety; an electrocardiogram (ECG) (heart test); blood pressure, pulse rate, breathing rate and mouth temperature measurements; and a physical examination. The study visit involves receiving the study drug on Day 1. The same tests are carried out as at the screening visit, along with collection of blood, urine and faecal samples to measure the amount of drug and the amount of radioactivity in the blood, urine and faeces. Participants also provide blood samples to see how their genes affect their response to the drug. The follow-up visit is a short visit lasting about 30 minutes to ensure that volunteers' health is in the same condition as before they started the study, which includes blood and urine samples, ECG, vital signs and physical examination.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Volunteers will not receive any medical benefit from taking part in this study; however, development of a treatment for influenza may benefit the population as a whole. As with any drugs there is a risk that rare or previously unknown side effects will occur.

Condition
Influenza virus infection
Intervention
Volunteers will receive a single dose of 40 mg [14C]-S-033188 suspension for oral administration (20 mL) containing not more than 3.77 MBq (102 μCi) of 14C on day 1 and then will stay at the clinical unit for up to 17 days after dosing for blood, urine and faecal samples to be collected and safety assessments to be carried out. Volunteers will be able to leave the clinical unit 13 days after dosing if they and every member of the group have reached the required level of radioactive recovery (radioactivity collected in volunteers' urine and faecal samples). If this has not happened volunteers will remain resident for up to 17 days post dose, discharging from the clinical unit on the morning of Day 18. Follow-up will be a short visit of approximately 30 minutes on Day 22 +/- 3 days to ensure that the volunteers' health is in the same condition as before they started the study, which includes blood and urine samples, ECG, vital signs and physical examination.

Participant inclusion criteria
1. Male subjects who are able to understand the study and comply with all study procedures, and willing to provide written informed consent before screening

3. Male subjects who are considered healthy by the investigator (or subinvestigator) based on a medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, vital signs measurements and ECG. If any clinical abnormality is identified and/or a laboratory test value exceeds the site's standard value, subjects will be considered appropriate for the study only if the investigator judges the abnormality to be not clinically significant and not to increase the risk to the subject by participation in the study nor to compromise study endpoints
