About

This study will evaluate the effect of fluconazole and isavuconazole on the PK of acalabrutinib and its active metabolite, ACP-5862.

Full description

This is a 2-period study. On Day 1 of Period 1, all participants will be randomized to 1 of 2 treatment sequences and will receive a single oral dose of 100 mg acalabrutinib (Treatment A). In Period 2, the participants who participated in Period 1 will receive either Treatment B (fluconazole) or Treatment C (isavuconazole). In Period 2 Treatment B, participants will receive a single oral loading dose of 400 mg fluconazole on Day 1 one hour before a single oral dose of 100 mg acalabrutinib. In Period 2 Treatment C, participants will receive oral dose of 200 mg isavuconazole three times daily (TID; approximately 8 hours apart) on Day 1 and 200 mg isavuconazole once daily (QD) from Day 2 to Day 5 with a single oral dose of 100 mg acalabrutinib coadministered on Day 5. There will be a washout of at least 8 days between Period 1 and first dose in Period 2. All participants will return to the study site approximately 7 days after the last study drug for follow-up procedures and adverse event.
