A Phase I, open-label, single centre study investigating the pharmacokinetics, safety and pharmacodynamics of a single dose of teverelix TFA, a gonadotrophin releasing hormone antagonist, via subcutaneous or intramuscular route of administration in healthy male volunteers
The primary objective of the study is: • To characterise the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of teverelix following single dose, subcutaneous (s.c.) and intramuscular (i.m.) administration of teverelix TFA in healthy male subjects The secondary objectives of the study are: * To assess the safety and tolerability of teverelix TFA after single s.c. and i.m. injections in healthy male subjects * To evaluate pharmacodynamics (PD) effects of teverelix following single dose, s.c. and i.m. administration of teverelix TFA in healthy male subjects

AUC0-t
Area under the concentration time-curve from time zero up to the last measurable concentration at time point t Area under the concentration time-curve from time zero up to the last measurable concentration at time point t Area under the concentration time-curve from time zero up to the last measurable concentration at time point t
Time frame: 12 weeks
AUC0-t1
Area under the concentration time-curve from time zero up to concentration at time point t1 after which the concentrations start to rise again towards a second peak, t1 will be determined after review of the concentration-time profiles (immediate release component of total observed AUC)
Time frame: 12 weeks
AUCt1-t
Area under the concentration time-curve from time point t1 up to time point t (slow release component of total observed AUC)
Time frame: 12 weeks
AUC0-∞
Area under the concentration time-curve from time zero up to infinity (∞)
Time frame: 12 weeks

Systemic tolerability - Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
Systemic tolerability assessed by incidence of treatment emergent AEs (TEAEs)
Time frame: 12 weeks
Local tolerability - Standardised Injection Site Reaction Scoring System (4-point) plus photography
The injections sites will be assessed (score 0 = none; 1 = mild; 2 = moderate; 3 = severe and undesirable) for signs of erythema, swelling, bruising, itching, pain and other signs of local reactions. Subjects will be monitored for duration of symptoms, sequelae and impact on activities of daily living (ADL). Photographs of all injection sites will be taken at all study visits post-administration
Time frame: 12 weeks
Cardiac assessments
The following 12-lead ECG parameters will be assessed: PR interval, QRS interval, RR interval, QT interval and QTc interval (QTcF)
Time frame: 12 weeks
24 hour Holter monitoring
Triplicate 10 second 12-lead ECGs will be extracted at time points prior to PK sampling times (Day 1) and matched timepoints (Day -1) in order to facilitate concentration-QTc effect modelling
Time frame: Day -1 to Day 1
