About this study
Official title: An Open Label, Single-Dose, Single-Period Study Designed to Assess the Mass Balance Recovery, Metabolite Profile and Metabolite Identification of [14C]-Rencofilstat in Healthy Male Subjects
This is a single-center, single-period, single-dose, open-label, non-randomized study to assess the mass balance recovery, metabolite profile and metabolite identification of 14C- labelled rencofilstat ([14C] CRV431). It is planned to enroll 6 healthy male subjects in a single group. Each subject will receive a single 225 mg oral dose of [14C] CRV431 self-micro emulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) oral emulsion.
Read the detailed description
This is a single center, open-label, non-randomized, single period, single dose study in healthy male subjects designed to assess the mass balance recovery, pharmacokinetics (PK), metabolite profile and metabolite identification of rencofilstat. It is planned to enroll a single cohort of 6 subjects. All subjects will receive a single 225 mg oral dose of [14C]-rencofilstat, as a SMEDDS oral emulsion in the fasted state.
Subjects will undergo preliminary screening procedures for the study at the screening visit (Day -28 to Day -2). Subjects will be admitted in the evening on the day before dosing (Day-1).
Whole blood, plasma, urine and feces samples will be collected at regular intervals for PK analysis, total radioactivity analysis, metabolite profiling, mass balance and safety as applicable, from pre-dose to discharge from the clinical unit. Urine and feces samples may be collected at return visits or home visits if mass balance criteria have not been met by a subject.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Early Phase 1 study testing [14C]-rencofilstat 225mg in people with NASH With Fibrosis, run by Hepion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1 site in United Kingdom.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 22 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Oct 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
To Determine the Mass Balance Recovery After a Single Oral Dose of [14C]-Rencofilstat (time frame: 22 Days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Oct 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
