A Study to Evaluate the Effect of Multiple Doses of Isavuconazole on the Pharmacokinetics of Metformin

Overview

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of multiple doses of isavuconazole on the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of metformin. Safety and tolerability of isavuconazole will be assessed alone and in combination with metformin.

Full Title of Study: “A Phase 1, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Effect of Multiple Doses of Isavuconazole on the Pharmacokinetics of Metformin”

Study Type

  • Study Type: Interventional
  • Study Design
    • Allocation: N/A
    • Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
    • Masking: None (Open Label)
  • Study Primary Completion Date: February 2013

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.

Interventions

  • Drug: isavuconazole
    • oral
  • Drug: metformin
    • oral

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: isavuconazole and metformin
    • Metformin 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.

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Pharmacokinetics (PK) of metformin in plasma: Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) from the time of dosing to the last quantifiable concentration (AUClast)
    • Time Frame: Days 1 and 8 (16 plasma samples obtained from time zero to 48 hours post dose)
  • PK of metformin in plasma: AUC from the time of dosing to infinity (AUCinf)
    • Time Frame: Days 1 and 8 (16 plasma samples obtained from time zero to 48 hours post dose)
  • PK of metformin in plasma: Maximum Concentration (Cmax)
    • Time Frame: Days 1 and 8 (16 plasma samples obtained from time zero to 48 hours post dose)

Secondary Measures

  • PK variable for isavuconazole in plasma: Trough Concentration (Ctrough)
    • Time Frame: Days 6, 9 and 10 (1 sample prior to isavuconazole dosing)
  • Composite of PK variables for isavuconazole in plasma: AUCtau, Cmax and tmax
    • Time Frame: 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 metformin in plasma: t1/2, tmax, CL/F and Vz/F
    • Time Frame: Days 1 and 8 (16 plasma samples obtained from time zero to 48 hours post dose)
    • Apparent Terminal Elimination Half-life (t1/2); Apparent Body Clearance After Oral Dosing (CL/F); Apparent Volume of Distribution (Vz/F)
