Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) profiles of three different strengths of ASP015K extended release formulation and an immediate release formulation and to evaluate food effect on extended release strengths in healthy volunteers.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Dose Group 1 Treatment A Lowest per tablet dose of ASP015K Extended Release (ER) tablets under fasted conditions	Drug: ASP015K ER oral extended release (ER) at three dosing levels
Active Comparator: Dose Group 1 Treatment B Medium per tablet dose ASP015K Immediate Release (IR) tablets under fasted conditions for comparison to lowest dose ER fasted conditions	Drug: ASP015K IR oral immediate release (IR)
Experimental: Dose Group 1 Treatment C Lowest per tablet dose of ASP015K ER tablets under fed conditions	Drug: ASP015K ER oral extended release (ER) at three dosing levels
Experimental: Dose Group 2 Treatment D Medium per tablet dose of ASP015K ER tablets under fasted conditions	Drug: ASP015K ER oral extended release (ER) at three dosing levels
Active Comparator: Dose Group 2 Treatment E Medium per tablet dose of ASP015K IR tablets under fasted conditions for comparison to medium dose ER fasted conditions	Drug: ASP015K IR oral immediate release (IR)
Experimental: Dose Group 2 Treatment F Medium per tablet dose of ASP015K ER tablets under fed conditions	Drug: ASP015K ER oral extended release (ER) at three dosing levels
Experimental: Dose Group 3 Treatment G Highest per tablet dose of ASP015K ER tablets under fasted conditions	Drug: ASP015K ER oral extended release (ER) at three dosing levels
Active Comparator: Dose Group 3 Treatment H Medium per tablet dose of ASP015K IR tablets under fasted conditions for comparison to highest dose ER under fasted conditions	Drug: ASP015K IR oral immediate release (IR)
Experimental: Dose Group 3 Treatment I Highest dose of ASP015K ER tablets under fed conditions	Drug: ASP015K ER oral extended release (ER) at three dosing levels

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Pharmacokinetic (PK) for ASP015K (in plasma): Area under the curve (AUC) from time 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUCinf) [Day 1-4 of each of 3 dosing periods]
PK for ASP015K (in plasma): AUC from time of dosing to last quantifiable concentration (AUClast) [Days 1-4 of each of 3 dosing periods]
PK for ASP015K (in plasma): Maximum concentration (Cmax) [Days 1-4 of each of 3 dosing periods]

Secondary Outcome Measures

PK profile for ASP015K (in plasma): tmax , t1/2 , Vz /F, and CL/F [Day 1-4 of each of 3 dosing periods]
Time to attain Cmax (tmax) , apparent terminal elimination half-life (t1/2 ), apparent volume of distribution (Vz /F), apparent body clearance after oral dosing (CL/F)
PK profile for metabolites (in plasma): Cmax, AUClast, and AUCinf, tmax,t1/2 [Day 1-4 of each of 3 dosing periods]
