Radioactive pill tested in healthy men to map huntington Drug's path
NCT ID NCT07516899
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage study will give 8 healthy men a single radioactive dose of LPM3770164, a drug being developed for Huntington disease. Researchers will measure how much of the drug is recovered in urine and stool, and identify its breakdown products. The goal is to understand how the drug is processed and eliminated, not to treat the disease.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- LPM3770164 (a radioactive drug)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study will show how the drug moves through and leaves the body, which is a necessary step before testing it as a treatment for Huntington disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small study in just 8 healthy men, not people with Huntington disease. It is designed only to measure drug processing, not to treat or improve symptoms.
