Study to Investigate the Potential Drug-Drug Interaction Between Elafibranor and Indomethacin
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The enzyme responsible for the conversion of elafibranor into its active metabolite, GFT1007, has not been formally identified, but it is believed to have similar characteristics to an α,β-ketoalkene reductase previously identified in rat liver cytosol. In vitro studies in human liver cytosol fractions have shown that indomethacin inhibits the enzyme responsible of the transformation of elafibranor into GFT1007. As a result, indomethacin was included in the list of prohibited co-medications in all clinical trials with elafibranor, and a formal Drug-Drug Interaction (DDI) clinical study is being conducted to elucidate the effect of indomethacin on elafibranor pharmacokinetics.
