Registration Number
NCT03017495
Lead Sponsor
Idorsia Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
Brief Summary

The main objectives of this phase 1 trial are to evaluate the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics (i.e. how long and how much a compound is present in the blood) of ACT-541468 and to evaluate whether ACT-541468 can affect the pharmacokinetics of midazolam, a CYP3A4 substrate.

Detailed Description

Food effect will be assessed by comparing the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of a single dose of ACT-541468 under fasted (Treatment B) and fed (Treatment C) conditions.

Potential CYP3A4 inhibiting / inducing effects of ACT-541468 will be assessed by comparing the PK parameters of midazolam alone (Treatment A) and midazolam given with a single dose of ACT-541468 (Treatment B) or with multiple doses of ACT-541468 (Treatment D).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Terminal half-life (t1/2) of midazolamPK blood samples on Day 1, Day 2, Day 8: before administration of midazolam and up to 24 hours post dose

t1/2 is calculated from the plasma concentrations-time curves of midazolam

Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of 1-hydroxymidazolamPK blood samples on Day 1, Day 2, Day 8: before administration of midazolam and up to 24 hours post dose

Cmax is directly determined from the plasma concentrations-time curves of 1-hydroxymidazolam

Time to reach Cmax (tmax) of 1-hydroxymidazolamPK blood samples on Day 1, Day 2, Day 8: before administration of midazolam and up to 24 hours post dose

Area under the plasma concentration-time curve [AUC(0-24)] of 1-hydroxymidazolamPK blood samples on Day 1, Day 2, Day 8: before administration of midazolam and up to 24 hours post dose

AUC is calculated from time zero to 24 hours post dose

Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of ACT-541468PK blood samples on Day 2, Day 4 and Day 8: before administration of ACT-541468 and up to 24 hours post-dose, and on Day 6 and Day 7: before ACT-541468 administration only
