Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to assess the relative bioavailability of single doses of 100 mg roxadustat pediatric azo dye-free tablet and 100 mg roxadustat pediatric azo dye-free mini-tablet solid and suspension (new formulations) compared to 100 mg roxadustat azo dye-containing tablet (reference formulation) under fasting conditions in healthy male and female adult participants.

This study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of single doses of 100 mg roxadustat pediatric azo dye-free tablet and 100 mg roxadustat pediatric azo dye-free mini-tablet solid and suspension (new formulations) and a single dose of 100 mg roxadustat azo dye-containing tablet (reference formulation) under fasting conditions in healthy male and female adult participants.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 1

Detailed Description

This is a 4-period, 4-sequence single dose crossover study. Each participant will participate in 4 treatment periods separated by a washout of at least 7 days between study drug administrations in each period. Participants will be randomized to 1 of 4 sequences.

Participants will be screened for up to 21 days prior to study drug administration on day 1 of period 1. Eligible participants will be admitted to the clinical unit on day -1 of each period and will be residential for 5 days/4 nights.

Participants will receive a single dose of 100 mg roxadustat pediatric azo dye-free tablet, 100 mg roxadustat pediatric azo dye-free mini-tablet (suspension), 100 mg roxadustat pediatric azo dye-free mini-tablet (solid) (new formulations) or 100 mg roxadustat azo dye-containing tablet (reference formulation) under fasting conditions on day 1 of each period.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Area Under the Curve From Time of Dosing Extrapolated to Time Infinity (AUCinf) for Roxadustat [Predose (0 hour), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours postdose on day 1]

      AUCinf is defined as area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time of dosing (pre-dose) to extrapolated infinite time (0-inf).

    2. Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve From the Time of Dosing to Last Measurable Concentration (AUClast) for Roxadustat [Predose (0 hour), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours postdose on day 1]

      AUClast is defined as area under the plasma concentration time-curve from time of dosing to the last measured concentration.

    3. Pharmacokinetics (PK) of Maximum Observed Concentration of Roxadustat [Predose (0 hour), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours postdose on day 1]

      Maximum observed concentration (Cmax) will be reported.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of the Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve From the Time of Dosing to Time infinity due to Extrapolation From the Last Measurable Concentration to Time Infinity (AUCinf[%extrap]) for Roxadustat [Predose (0 hour), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours postdose on day 1]

      AUC%extrap is defined as the percentage of AUC [0-∞] obtained by forward extrapolation. It will be calculated as (AUC [0-∞] minus AUClast)*100/ AUC [0-∞], where AUC [0-∞] = Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time zero (pre-dose) to extrapolated infinite time (0-∞) and AUClast is area under the plasma concentration time-curve from zero (pre-dose) to the last measured concentration.

    2. Apparent Total Systemic Clearance of Roxadustat After Extravascular Dosing (CL/F) [Predose (0 hour), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours postdose on day 1]

      Clearance of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Clearance obtained after oral dose (apparent oral clearance) is influenced by the fraction of the dose absorbed.

    3. Terminal Elimination Half-life (t1/2) of Roxadustat [Predose (0 hour), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours postdose on day 1]

      Plasma decay half-life is the time measured for the plasma concentration to decrease by one half.

    4. Time to Reach Maximum Concentration (tmax) of Roxadustat [Predose (0 hour), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours postdose on day 1]

      Time to reach maximum concentration of roxadustat following drug administration will be reported.

    5. Time Prior to the Time Corresponding to the First Measurable (nonzero) Concentration (tlag) of Roxadustat [Predose (0 hour), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours postdose on day 1]

      Tlag is defined as the time prior to the time corresponding to the first measurable concentration.

    6. Apparent Volume of Distribution During the Terminal Elimination Phase After Extravascular Dosing (Vz/F) of Roxadustat [Predose (0 hour), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours postdose on day 1]

      Volume of distribution is defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired plasma concentration of a drug. Apparent volume of distribution after oral dose (Vz/F) is influenced by the fraction absorbed.

    7. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAEs) [From first dose of study drug up to end of study visit (up to 54 days)]

      An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who will be given the study drug or who has undergone study procedures and did not necessarily has a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. A treatment-emergent adverse event is defined as an adverse event with onset at any time from dosing until the last scheduled procedure.
