About

The objective of the study is to investigate the drug interaction between LC15-0444 and pioglitazone by comparing the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of LC15-0444 and pioglitazone are administered concomitantly and each alone in healthy male subjects.

Full description

This study is a randomized, open-label, three-treatment, three-period, three-sequence and crossover design in healthy volunteers to evaluate tolerability, safety and pharmacokinetics after the multiple administration of LC15-0444 and pioglitazone concomitantly or each alone.

Eligibility for participation of this study will be determined by demographic information, medical history, physical examination, electrocardiogram (ECG) and clinical laboratory tests within 3 weeks(-21 d ~ -2 d) before drug administration(1 d). Eligible subjects will be randomized to one of three sequence groups.

According to the characteristics of anti-diabetic drugs, it is expected to be administered with other anti-diabetic drugs. Therefore, Drug-Drug Interaction with Pioglitazone should be identified in this trial.

Enrollment: 24 estimated patients

Sex: Male

Ages: 20 to 45 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

3. Subjects with fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level of 70-125 mg/dL (both inclusive) at the time of screening.
4. Evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent document indicating that the subject has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the trial.

Exclusion criteria

2. Subjects with evidence or history of gastrointestinal disease (Crohn's disease, ulcer, acute or chronic pancreatitis etc.) or surgery (except appendectomy and herniotomy) possibly affecting drug absorption.

3. Subjects with history of hypersensitivities including drug allergies (caused by aspirin, antibiotics, etc.), or history of clinically significant hypersensitivities.

4. Subjects who meet the following criteria at the time of the screening examination; Serum AST(SGOT) or ALT(SGPT): > 1.5 times upper normal limit Creatinine clearance calculated by Cockcroft-Gault equation

   • < 80 mL/min Clinical significant abnormalities on ECG including 12-lead ECG demonstrating QTc >450 msec at screening or any rhythms except for sinus rhythm

Subjects who have taken any prescribed medicines or herbal medicines within 2 weeks before the first administration of the investigational product, any non-prescribed medicines or vitamin supplements within 1 week before the first administration of the investigational product. (If other conditions are satisfied, subjects may be eligible for the trial by the investigator's judgment.)

8. Subjects who have participated in any other clinical trial within 2 months before the first administration of the investigational product.

9. Subjects who have donated a unit of blood within 2 months or blood components within 1 month before the first administration of the investigational product.

10. Subjects who consume more than 21 units of alcohol per week (1 unit = 10 g of pure alcohol) or unable to abstain from drinking throughout the trial.
