Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

This study is being conducted to support the clinical development of acalabrutinib in patients who are unable to swallow capsule and require nasogastric (NG) tube placement.

Detailed Description

This is an open-label, single-center, randomized, 3-period, crossover study of acalabrutinib suspension administered via NG tube in healthy subjects to evaluate the relative bioavailability and proton-pump inhibitor (rabeprazole) effect.

The study is divided in 3 periods.

Period 1 of the study is designed to investigate the effect of proton-pump inhibitor on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of acalabrutinib suspension. Period 2 and 3 of the study are designed to investigate the bioavailability of acalabrutinib suspension relative to an oral capsule formulation.

Exclusion Criteria
  1. History or presence of any clinically significant disease (including COVID-19) or disorder which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may either put the subject at risk because of participation in the study, or influence the results or the subject's ability to participate in the study.
  2. History or presence of gastrointestinal (GI), hepatic or renal disease, or any other condition known to interfere with absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of drugs.
  3. Any positive result on screening for serum hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B core antibody, hepatitis C antibody, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody.
  4. Plasma donation within 30 days of screening or any blood donation/loss more than 500 mL during the 90 days prior to screening.
  5. Current smokers or those who have smoked or used nicotine products (including e-cigarettes) within the 90 days prior to screening.
  6. Positive screen for drugs of abuse or cotinine at screening.
  7. Known or suspected history of alcohol or drug abuse, or excessive intake of alcohol as judged by the Investigator.

  9. Vulnerable subjects, eg, kept in detention, protected adults under guardianship, trusteeship, or committed to an institution by governmental or juridical order.
  10. History of a disorder which would make NG tube placement contraindicated, eg, esophageal strictures, esophageal varices, or bleeding diathesis.
  11. Evidence of ongoing systemic bacterial, fungal, or viral infection (including upper respiratory tract infections). Subjects with localized cutaneous fungal infections are eligible.
