Effect of Itraconazole on the Pharmacokinetics of Bardoxolone Methyl in Healthy Adults

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2017-11-13
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This trial will study the impact of a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor (itraconazole) on the pharmacokinetics of bardoxolone methyl (RTA 402) in healthy adult subjects.

This is an open-label, fixed-sequence crossover pharmacokinetic (PK) study in healthy volunteers.

Subjects will complete a screening visit within 28 days of Study Day 1. Subjects must qualify for the study based on inclusion/exclusion criteria. For Period 1, all qualified subjects shall receive a single oral dose of bardoxolone methyl (10 mg) on Day 1. For Period 2, following a washout of 14 days, itraconazole (SPORANOX®) capsules (100 mg) will be administered as a 200-mg single daily dose on Study Days 15 through 27, with bardoxolone methyl (10 mg) administered on Day 18 (1 hour after itraconazole administration).

Bardoxolone methyl doses will be administered under fasted conditions. Itraconazole will be administered under fed conditions on Study Days 15-17, and Study Days 19-27.

On study Day 18, itraconazole will be administered under fasted conditions. Subjects will be confined beginning on Study Day -1 through the last blood sample collection on Study Day 9 during Period 1, and from Study Day 14 through the last PK blood draw on Study Day 28 during Period 2.

• Requirement for any over-the-counter and/or prescription medication, vitamins, and/or herbal supplements on a regular basis;

• Use of any medications (over-the-counter and/or prescription medication), vitamins, and/or herbal supplements, within the 30-day period prior to study drug administration or within 5 half-lives (if known), whichever is longer;

• Recent (6-month) history of drug or alcohol abuse;

• B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level >200 pg/mL at screening;

• Positive test result for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C virus antibody (HCV Ab), or HIV antibodies (HIV Ab) at screening;

• Donation or loss of 550 mL or more blood volume (including plasmapheresis) or receipt of a transfusion of any blood product within 8 weeks prior to study drug administration;

• Receipt of any investigational product within a time period equal to 10 half-lives of the product, if known, or a minimum of 30 days prior to study drug administration;

• Positive screen results for drugs of abuse, alcohol, or cotinine at screening or Day -1;

2. Clinically significant abnormal ECG; ECG with QTc using Fridericia's correction formula (QTcF) > 450 msec is exclusionary;

3. Consideration by the investigator, for any reason, that the subject is an unsuitable candidate to receive either bardoxolone methyl or itraconazole.
