Assessment of Change in CYP3A Activity by Route of Administration Using Metabolic Markers in Healthy Male Volunteers

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Healthy Volunteers
Interventions
Drug: Midazolam
Drug: Clarithromycin
Dietary Supplement: Grapefruit juice
Registration Number
NCT03366974
Lead Sponsor
Seoul National University Hospital
Brief Summary

The study objective is to evaluate and validate of endogenous markers for the assessment of change in CYP3A activity by route of administration in Korean healthy subjects using metabolomics. In addition, we aim to screen novel endogenous marker, which could determine the total or intestinal CYP activity.

Detailed Description

This study is an open-label, one-sequence, three-period study. A total of 16 healthy male subjects will be enrolled. In period 1, subjects will be administered midazolam IV 1 mg, and co-administration of midazolam IV 1mg and grapefruit juice 500 mL. In period 2, subjects will be administered midazolam PO 5 mg, and co-administration of midazolam PO 5mg and grapefruit juice 500 mL. In period 3, subjects will be administered clarithromycin 500 mg for 3-days in b.i.d regimen prior to admission. Subjects will be administered midazolam IV 1mg and PO 5mg after admission.
