What this trial studies

This study aims to assess the safety, tolerability, and drug levels of different formulations of BMS-986460 in healthy adult males. Participants will receive a single dose of the drug, and the study will measure how well the body absorbs and processes it. The study is designed as a crossover trial, meaning participants may receive multiple formulations at different times. The goal is to determine the relative bioavailability of these formulations.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are healthy adult males aged 18 to 35 with a BMI between 18.0 and 35.0 kg/m2.

Not a fit: Patients with a history of heart conditions or previous exposure to BMS-986460 will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved formulations of BMS-986460 that are safer and more effective for future use.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies evaluating drug formulations have shown success in improving bioavailability and safety profiles.
