Brief Summary:

The purposes of this study are to:

• Determine the effect of the study drug on sperm and semen of healthy young male subjects.
• Determine the effect of age on the amount of study drug in the blood of healthy subjects
• Learn about the safety of the study drug.
• Learn how subjects tolerate the study drug.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Avanfil ADME; Semen Exposure; Sperm Function	Drug: avanafil 200mg	Phase 1

Detailed Description:

This single-center, open-label, non-randomized, two-cohort, single-dose pharmacokinetic study will be conducted at a single site in the United States, in which at least 18 young (18-45 years, inclusive) male subjects in Cohort A and 14 elderly (65 years or older) males in Cohort B will be enrolled and dosed to achieve a total of at least 14 completed young subjects and 12 elderly subjects. Seminal fluid and plasma will be collected from Cohort A, whereas only plasma samples will be collected from Cohort B.

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Plasma pharmacokinetic parameters of avanafil and its metabolites will be evaluated including AUC (0-t), AUC(0-inf), Cmax, fu, t1/2, and tmax; Sperm motility, function and morphology; Avanafil exposure in seminal fluid [ Time Frame: pre-dose (baseline) through 24 hours post-dose ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. adverse events (each study visit); laboratory evaluations; electrocardiogram and physical examination; vital signs will be assessed at various times during the study. [ Time Frame: pre-dose (baseline) through 24 hours post-dose ]
