About

Primary Objectives:

To determine the excretion balance and systemic exposure of radioactivity after oral administration of [14C]-venglustat.
To determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of venglustat and its contribution to the overall exposure of radioactivity.
To determine the metabolic pathways, metabolite profile, chemical structures and main excretion route of the main venglustat metabolites and the metabolite contribution to the overall exposure of radioactivity.

Secondary Objective:

To assess the clinical and biological tolerability of oral solution of venglustat
