- Brief Summary
This study evaluates how a drug that alters liver enzymes (rifampin) affects the metabolism of enzalutamide in men by measuring concentrations of enzalutamide and its metabolites in plasma.
- Detailed Description
The study consists of 2 randomized treatment arms. In both arms the subjects receive a single oral dose of enzalutamide.
In Arm 1 the subjects are admitted to the clinic on Day -1 where they remain until Day 3. Each subject receives a single oral dose of enzalutamide, administered under fasted conditions on Day 1. Ambulant visits take place from Day 4 to Day 50. Full PK profiles are obtained for enzalutamide, Major Inactive Carboxylic Acid Metabolite (M1) and Active Metabolite N-desmethyl Enzalutamide (M2) from Day 1 up to Day 50 after intake of enzalutamide.
In Arm 2 each subject receives a once-daily dose of rifampin on Days 1 to 21. On Day 8, a single oral dose of enzalutamide is administered under fasted conditions concomitantly with rifampin. Full PK profiles are obtained for enzalutamide, M1 and M2 from Day 8 up to Day 57 after intake of enzalutamide.
An End of Study Visit (ESV) takes place between 7 and 10 days after the last PK sample or early withdrawal.
Safety assessments are performed throughout the study.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method PK of enzalutamide and the sum of enzalutamide + M2 in plasma measured by area under the curve (AUC) from time 0 to 336 hours after dosing (AUC0-336h) Days 1 to 50 (29 times) PK of enzalutamide and the sum of enzalutamide + M2 in plasma measured by AUC extrapolated to infinity (AUCinf) Days 1 to 50 (29 times)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method PK of enzalutamide, M2, M1 and the sum of enzalutamide + M2 in plasma Days 8 to 57 (49 times) AUC0-336h, AUCinf, Cmax (M2, M1), time to attain Cmax (tmax), terminal elimination half life (t1/2), AUC up to last quantifiable concentration (AUClast), apparent total body clearance after extra vascular dosing (CL/F), apparent volume of distribution during the terminal phase after extra vascular dosing (Vz/F) (parent compound only), Metabolite-to-Parent Ratio (MPR), percent extrapolated for AUCinf (%AUC)
PK of rifampin in plasma Days 6 to 21 (20 times) Cmax, tmax, AUC for the defined interval between doses (AUCtau), minimum concentration (Cmin)
Safety and tolerability of enzalutamide, alone or in the presence of rifampin Screening (Day -28 to -7) to End of Study Visit (ESV) (>34 times) vital signs, incidence of adverse events (AE), laboratory assessments, physical examination, electrocardiogram (ECG)
