Details and patient eligibility

About

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of carbamazepine, a strong CYP3A4 inducer, on the steady-state pharmacokinetics (PK) of tavapadon in healthy adult participants.

Enrollment: 16 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 55 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

1. Women of nonchildbearing potential and men 18 to 55 years, inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent form (ICF).
2. Sexually active men with a pregnant or nonpregnant partner of childbearing potential must agree to use a condom during the trial and for 90 days after the last dose of carbamazepine. In addition, male participants should not donate sperm for a minimum of 90 days following the last dose of carbamazepine.
3. Healthy as determined by medical evaluation, including medical and psychiatric history, physical and neurological examinations, ECG, vital sign measurements, and laboratory test results, as evaluated by the investigator.
4. Body mass index of 18.5 to 32.0 kilograms per square meter (kg/m^2), inclusive, and total body weight >50 kg (110 pounds [lbs]) at Screening.
5. Capable of giving signed informed consent as described in the full protocol, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the ICF and in this protocol.
6. Ability, in the opinion of the investigator, to understand the nature of the trial and comply with protocol requirements, including the prescribed dosage regimens, scheduled visits, laboratory tests, and other trial procedures.

Exclusion criteria

1. "Yes" responses for any of the following items on the C-SSRS (within past 6 months):

   • Suicidal Ideation Item 4 (Active Suicidal Ideation with Some Intent to Act, without Specific Plan)
   • Suicidal Ideation Item 5 (Active Suicidal Ideation with Specific Plan and Intent) "Yes" responses for any of the following items on the C-SSRS (within past 2 years):
   • Any of the Suicidal Behavior items (Actual Attempt, Interrupted Attempt, Aborted Attempt, Preparatory Acts or Behavior).

   Serious risk of suicide in the opinion of the investigator is also exclusionary.

2. Participants shown to carry or be positive for human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B*1502 or HLA-A*3101.

3. Use of prohibited medication prior to randomization (5 half-lives) or likely to require prohibited concomitant therapy (e.g., prescription and over-the-counter medications, herbal medications, vitamins, and supplements) during the trial. CYP3A4 inhibitors and inducers are prohibited from 30 days prior to signing of the ICF through the end of the trial.

4. Recent monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAO-I) use (in the last 28 days) as it increases the risk for hypersensitivity and bone marrow suppression from carbamazepine.

5. Prior carbamazepine use that was discontinued for tolerability or adverse events, including a clinically significant decrease in platelets, white blood cells or hemoglobin.

6. Platelets, white blood cell count, or hemoglobin <lower limit of normal (LLN).

7. Estimated glomerular filtration rate <90 milliliters per minute (mL/min)/1.73 m^2, as calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation.

NOTE: Other protocol-defined Exclusion criteria may apply.
