Early drug study tracks MS Candidate's journey through the body

NCT ID NCT04171310

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This early-stage study gave a single oral dose of a radioactive form of the experimental drug SAR442168 to 6 healthy men. Researchers measured how much of the drug was excreted in urine and stool, and how it moved through the bloodstream. The goal was to understand the drug's metabolism and elimination, which is essential before testing it in people with multiple sclerosis.

Active substance

SAR442168 (oral solution)

What this could lead to

If successful, this study will help researchers understand how SAR442168 is absorbed and eliminated, which is a step toward developing a treatment for multiple sclerosis.

What could go wrong

This is a very early, small study in just 6 healthy men, not patients. It only looks at how the drug moves through the body, not whether it works for MS. Results may not predict effectiveness or safety in patients.
