About

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of multiple-doses of itraconazole, phenytoin and paroxetine on the single-dose pharmacokinetics (PK) of poziotinib in healthy adult participants.

Full description

This is a three-part study. Participants will be enrolled in Part 1 (Effects of Itraconazole), Part 2 (Effects of Phenytoin), or Part 3 (Effects of Paroxetine) on the Pharmacokinetics of Poziotinib. Each part will be an open-label, fixed-sequence, 2-period study and may be conducted concurrently. For each study part, participants will be housed on Day -1 of Treatment Period 1 in the Clinical Research Unit (CRU) and will remain confined in the CRU until after the last scheduled blood draw and/or study procedures in Treatment Period 2. In each part, there will be a washout period of at least 8 days between poziotinib doses.

A total of 75 (25 in each part) healthy, adult male and female participants will be enrolled targeting a female/male ratio greater than or equal to (≥) 1:3 in each study part.

In part 1, CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers will be primarily enrolled with a goal of enrolling at least 2 CYP2D6 poor metabolizers. In Parts 2 and 3, only CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers will be enrolled. In Part 2, CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 poor metabolizers will be excluded.

Enrollment: 74 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 55 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers
