Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a healthy volunteers study to assess the bioequivalence of vadadustat 450 mg tablets (Test A) compared to three 150mg tablets (Reference B). The study will also assess the effect of food on the bioavailability of vadadustat 450 mg tablet.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 1

Detailed Description

This is a randomized, open-label, single-dose, three-period crossover study in healthy adults to assess the bioequivalence of 3 X 150 mg vadadustat tablets (Test) compared to a single 450 mg vadadustat tablet (reference). Blood samples for vadadustat PK will be collected at pre-dose (0 hour) and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 32, 40, and 48 hours post-dose. The study will also assess the effect of food on vadadustat bioavailability by evaluating the pharmacokinetics of the 450 mg tablet in fed and fasted subjects.

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Bioequivalence - Area under plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to last quantifiable concentration (AUClast) [Baseline visit, 48 hours]

    2. Bioequivalence - Area under plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to infinity (AUCinf) [Baseline visit, 48 hours]

    3. Bioequivalence - Area under plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to last sampling point (AUCall) [Baseline visit, 48 hours]

    4. Bioequivalence - Observed Maximum concentration (Cmax) [Baseline visit, 48 hours]

    5. Measure Food Effect - Area under plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to last quantifiable concentration (AUClast) [Baseline visit, 48 hours]

    6. Measure Food Effect - 2. Area under plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to infinity (AUCinf) [Baseline visit, 48 hours]

    7. Measure Food Effect - 2.3. Observed Maximum concentration (Cmax) [Baseline visit, 48 hours]

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Time to reach Cmax [Baseline visit, 48 hours]

    2. Time to reach Tmax [Baseline visit, 48 hours]

    3. Mean residence time (MRT) [Baseline visit, 48 hours]

    4. Elimination rate constant (Kel) [Baseline visit, 48 hours]

    5. Apparent total body clearance (CL/F) [Baseline visit, 48 hours]

    6. Apparent volume of distribution (Vd/F) [Baseline visit, 48 hours]

    7. Terminal half-life (t1/2) [Baseline visit, 48 hours]

    8. Percentage of extrapolated area under the curve from time t to infinity (AUCextrap or Residual Area) [Baseline visit, 48 hours]
