About

Part 1 of this study will determine the effect of multiple-dose itraconazole, a strong cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitor, on the single-dose pharmacokinetic(s) (PK) of mitapivat sulfate in healthy adult participants.

• History or presence of any clinically significant medical or psychiatric condition or disease or clinically significant laboratory abnormality that, in the opinion of the PI or designee, might confound the results of the study, compromise the ability of the participant to complete study procedures, and/or pose an additional risk to the participant by their participation in the study. This includes seizure disorders, transient ischemic attacks, or easy bruising;
