No further details.

Method

Details on study design:
A single oral dose of 0.3 mg/kg bw 14C-HEDP was administered to eight volunteers. Group A (n=5) received HEDP after breakfast, and Group B (n=3) before breakfast. Absorption was determined by measuring the activity excreted with urine and faeces.

Results and discussion

Results:
The activity excreted with urine was 0.082% (Group A) and 0.532% (Group B) of the applied dose.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In a summary of a human oral absorption study (reliability score 4) a single oral dose of 0.3 mg/kg bw 14C-HEDP was administered to eight volunteers. Group A (n=5) received HEDP after breakfast, and Group B (n=3) before breakfast. Absorption was determined by measuring the activity excreted with urine and faeces. The activity excreted with urine was 0.082% (Group A) and 0.532% (Group B) of the applied dose.
Executive summary:

In a summary of a human oral absorption study (reliability score 4) a single oral dose of 0.3 mg/kg bw 14C-HEDP was administered to eight volunteers. Group A (n=5) received HEDP after breakfast, and Group B (n=3) before breakfast. Absorption was determined by measuring the activity excreted with urine and faeces. The activity excreted with urine was 0.082% (Group A) and 0.532% (Group B) of the applied dose. This result was comparable that of a similar study in rats (see Section 7.1.1.).
