Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of multiple doses of isavuconazole on the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of metformin. Safety and tolerability of isavuconazole will be assessed alone and in combination with metformin.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Pharmacokinetics of Isavuconazole Pharmacokinetics of Metformin Healthy Subjects	Drug: isavuconazole Drug: metformin	Phase 1

Detailed Description

Subjects will check-in to the clinic on Day -1 and remain confined through completion of the study procedures on Day 10.

A follow-up telephone call will be made on Day 16 to check on health status.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Pharmacokinetics (PK) of metformin in plasma: Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) from the time of dosing to the last quantifiable concentration (AUClast) [Days 1 and 8 (16 plasma samples obtained from time zero to 48 hours post dose)]
PK of metformin in plasma: AUC from the time of dosing to infinity (AUCinf) [Days 1 and 8 (16 plasma samples obtained from time zero to 48 hours post dose)]
PK of metformin in plasma: Maximum Concentration (Cmax) [Days 1 and 8 (16 plasma samples obtained from time zero to 48 hours post dose)]

Secondary Outcome Measures

PK variable for isavuconazole in plasma: Trough Concentration (Ctrough) [Days 6, 9 and 10 (1 sample prior to isavuconazole dosing)]
Composite of PK variables for isavuconazole in plasma: AUCtau, Cmax and tmax [Days 7 and 8 (13 samples collected per day)]
AUC during the time interval between consecutive dosing (AUCtau); the time after dosing when Cmax occurs (tmax)
Composite of PK variables for metformin in plasma: t1/2, tmax, CL/F and Vz/F [Days 1 and 8 (16 plasma samples obtained from time zero to 48 hours post dose)]
Apparent Terminal Elimination Half-life (t1/2); Apparent Body Clearance After Oral Dosing (CL/F); Apparent Volume of Distribution (Vz/F)
