Tracking a drug's journey: can a radioactive tracer reveal how navlimetostat leaves the body?
NCT ID NCT07777133
First seen Aug 20, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 1 study aims to understand how the body processes and eliminates navlimetostat (BMS-986504), an experimental drug. A small group of healthy female volunteers will receive a specially labeled version of the drug that can be tracked in blood, urine, and feces. By measuring drug levels and breakdown products, researchers hope to learn how the drug is absorbed, metabolized, and cleared from the body.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- navlimetostat (BMS-986504), a radioactive-labeled version of the drug to track its journey through the body
- What this could lead to
- This study could help researchers understand how navlimetostat is absorbed, broken down, and removed from the body, which is essential for developing it as a potential treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small study in healthy volunteers, not patients. It focuses on drug processing, not on whether the drug works for any disease. Results may not predict effects in people with illness.
