Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of a single oral dose of fezolinetant under fasted and fed conditions in healthy female participants. The study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single oral dose of fezolinetant under fasted and fed conditions in healthy female participants.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 1

Detailed Description

Each participant will participate in 2 treatment periods separated by a washout of at least 5 days between investigational product (IP) administration in each period. Participants will be admitted to the clinical unit on day -1 of period 1 and will be in clinical unit for periods 1 and 2. On day 1 of each period, participants will receive fezolinetant followed by a 72-hour blood sampling period. The study will be completed with an end-of-study visit (ESV) which will take place 5 to 9 days after the 72-hour blood sampling period in period 2 or at the time of early discontinuation from the study.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Fezolinetant: Fed State then Fasted State

Participants will receive a single oral dose of fezolinetant in fed state on day 1 of study period 1. After a washout of 5 days the participants will receive a single oral dose of fezolinetant in fasted state on day 1 of study period 2.

Drug: Fezolinetant
Oral
Other Names:
  • ESN364
  • Experimental: Fezolinetant: Fasted State then Fed State

    Participants will receive a single oral dose of fezolinetant in fasted state on day 1 of study period 1. After a washout of 5 days the participants will receive a single oral dose of fezolinetant in fed state on day 1 of study period 2.

    Drug: Fezolinetant
    Oral

  • ESN364
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Pharmacokinetics (PK) of fezolinetant in plasma: Area under the concentration-time Curve (AUC) from the time of dosing extrapolated to time infinity (AUCinf) [up to Day 4 in each study period.]

      AUCinf will be recorded from the PK plasma samples collected.

    2. Pharmacokinetics (PK) of fezolinetant in plasma: Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) from the time of dosing to the last measurable concentration (AUClast) [up to Day 4 in each study period.]

      AUClast will be recorded from the PK plasma samples collected.

    3. Pharmacokinetics (PK) of fezolinetant in plasma: Maximum concentration (Cmax) [up to Day 4 in each study period.]

      Cmax will be recorded from the PK plasma samples collected.

    4. Pharmacokinetics (PK) of fezolinetant in plasma: Time of maximum concentration (Tmax) [up to Day 4 in each study period.]

      Tmax will be recorded from the PK plasma samples collected.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of participants with Adverse Events (AEs) [up to Day 18]

      An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered an IP, whether or not considered related to the IP. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of IP. This includes events related to the comparator and events related to the (study) procedures.

    2. Number of participants with laboratory value abnormalities and/or adverse events (AEs) [up to Day 18]

      Number of participants with potentially clinically significant laboratory values.

    3. Number of participants with vital sign abnormalities and/or adverse events (AEs) [up to Day 18]

      Number of participants with potentially clinically significant vital sign values.

    4. Number of participants with electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities and/or Adverse Events (AEs) [up to Day 18]

      Number of participants with potentially clinically significant electrocardiogram (ECG) values.
