Subjects who are not vasectomized for at least 6 months, and who are sexually active with a female partner of child bearing potential (does not include post menopausal women [absence of menses for 12 months prior to drug administration] or women who have had a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy [at least 6 months prior to drug administration]) must be willing to use one of the following acceptable contraceptive methods for at least 120 days post-dose:

    1. Simultaneous use of a condom and, for the female partner, hormonal contraceptives (used since at least 4 weeks);
    2. Simultaneous use of a male condom and, for the female partner, intra-uterine contraceptive device (placed since at least 4 weeks).
  10. Subjects who are not vasectomized for at least 6 months, and who are sexually active with a female partner who have had a tubal ligation from at least 6 months prior to drug administration must be willing to use a condom for at least 120 days post-dose.
  11. Must be willing not to donate sperm until at least 120 days post-dose

  3. Has a history of any clinically important cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, dermal, central nervous system (CNS), or neuromuscular disease disorders or asthma (excluding non current, childhood asthma) or diabetes or any other clinically important disorder, as determined by the Investigator.
  4. Has a predisposing condition that could interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of drugs or any condition that may confound the PK analyses, particularly hepatic or renal disease, as determined by the Investigator.
  5. Has a history of anaphylaxis, or other severe reaction, to a drug, food, toxin, or other exposure.
  6. Has an elevated PSA level at screening.
  7. Has received another investigational drug including investigational agent(s) targeting the androgen receptor within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the screening visit.

  19. Has a positive result for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) 1/2 antibody, hepatitis C antibody, or hepatitis B surface antigen.

    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    To access the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of subcutaneously administered ATRA-2002 against commercially available oral formulation of abiraterone acetate in healthy male adults
    Detailed Description
    The study will be conducted in 4 dosing groups of 8 subjects each. Thirty-two healthy adult men will be randomly assigned to a treatment cohort and will receive either a single Subcutaneous (SC) dose of ATRS-2002 (abiraterone acetate), or a single oral dose of the commercially available formulation of abiraterone acetate (Zytiga®). Additionally, for Cohorts 1 through 3, a single subject will be randomized as a sentinel subject to be dosed at least 24 hours prior to the rest of cohort (ROC). Dosing in the abiraterone acetate SC cohorts will be sequential and will start with subjects in the lowest SC dosing cohort (i.e., 25 mg). Dosing will not begin in the next highest SC dose cohort until all safety data, as well as available PK (Pharmacokinetic) data and TT levels, from the previous cohort(s) have been reviewed by the safety review committee (SRC e.g., Sponsor and Investigator) and it has been deemed safe to proceed to the next highest dose. Dosing in the oral abiraterone acetate cohort (Cohort 4) may begin at any time during the study.
