- Registration Number
- NCT01884636
- Lead Sponsor
- Astellas Pharma Global Development, Inc.
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of multiple doses of isavuconazole on the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of methotrexate. Safety and tolerability of isavuconazole will be assessed alone and in combination with methotrexate.
- Detailed Description
Subjects will check-in to the clinic on Day -1 and remain confined through completion of the study procedures on Day 10.
A follow-up telephone call will be made on Day 16 to check on health status.

Group Intervention Description isavuconazole and methotrexate isavuconazole Methotrexate single dose on days 1 and 8. Isavuconazole three times a day (TID) on days 4 and 5 followed by isavuconazole once daily (QD) on days 6 - 9 isavuconazole and methotrexate methotrexate Methotrexate single dose on days 1 and 8. Isavuconazole three times a day (TID) on days 4 and 5 followed by isavuconazole once daily (QD) on days 6 - 9
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Pharmacokinetics (PK) of methotrexate in plasma: Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) from the time of dosing to the last quantifiable concentration (AUClast) Days 1 and 8 (15 plasma samples obtained from time zero to 36 hours post dose) PK of methotrexate in plasma: AUC from the time of dosing to infinity (AUCinf) Days 1 and 8 (15 plasma samples obtained from time zero to 36 hours post dose) PK of methotrexate in plasma: Maximum Concentration (Cmax) Days 1 and 8 (15 plasma samples obtained from time zero to 36 hours post dose)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method PK variable for isavuconazole in plasma: Trough Concentration (Ctrough) Days 6, 9 and 10 (1 sample prior to isavuconazole dosing) Composite of PK variables for isavuconazole in plasma: AUCtau, Cmax and tmax Days 7 and 8 (13 samples collected per day) AUC during the time interval between consecutive dosing (AUCtau); the time after dosing when Cmax occurs (tmax)
Composite of PK variables for methotrexate in plasma: t1/2, tmax, CL/F and Vz/F Days 1 and 8 (15 plasma samples obtained from time zero to 36 hours post dose) Apparent Terminal Elimination Half-life (t1/2); Apparent Body Clearance After Oral Dosing (CL/F); Apparent Volume of Distribution (Vz/F)
Composite of PK variables for 7- hydroxymethotrexate in plasma: AUClast, AUCinf, t1/2, Cmax and tmax Days 1 and 8 (15 plasma samples obtained from time zero to 36 hours post dose)
