  • Research summary

    This is an open-label, single-sequence study to determine if there are any contraindications with the study drug when taken with an antibiotic commonly used for the treatment of COPD.

    Each volunteer will participate in a screening visit and 2 in-house periods.
    Period 1 – All volunteers will receive a single dose of the study drug in a fasting state.

    Period 2 – All volunteers will receive 3 daily doses of the antibiotic and a single dose of the study drug in a fasting state.

    For period 1, volunteers will be admitted to the unit on the evening before dosing with the study drug (Day -1) and will be discharged on the morning of Day 3, 48 hours after dosing (3 overnight stays). During period 1 volunteers will make 4 outpatient return visits for pharmacokinetic and safety blood sampling (to Day 8).

    For period 2 volunteers will be admitted to the unit on Day -2 evening (Day -1 prior to dosing with the antibiotic) and they will be discharged from the unit on the morning of Day 3 (48 hours after dosing with the study drug – 4 overnight stays). After period 2 volunteers will make 5 outpatient return visits for pharmacokinetic and safety blood sampling (to Day 15).

    Study drug dosing in both periods will be separated by a washout period of at least 14 days. The study duration for each volunteer will be approximately 37 days excluding the screening period. There will be a follow-up phone call 21 days after Day 1 of study period 2.
