Effect of a Proton Pump Inhibitor on the PK of Tepotinib

Phase 1

Completed

Conditions: Healthy

Interventions: Drug: Tepotinib
Drug: Omeprazole

Registration Number: NCT03531762

Lead Sponsor: Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany

Brief Summary: This study was investigated in healthy participants (i) the effect of omeprazole (proton pump inhibitor) co-administration on the single dose pharmacokinetics (PK) of tepotinib under fed conditions, and (ii) the effect of food on the single dose PK of tepotinib after co-administration of omeprazole and tepotinib. Furthermore, the study assessed the safety and tolerability of tepotinib alone and upon co-administration of omeprazole.
