Study Investigating the Pharmacokinetic Interaction Between INX-08189 and Verapamil HCL ER in Healthy Volunteers

A Phase 1b, Drug-Drug Interaction Study Investigating the Pharmacokinetic Interaction Between INX-08189 and Verapamil HCL ER in Healthy Volunteers

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential for a pharmacokinetic (PK) drug-drug interaction between INX-08189 and extended release verapamil hydrochloride (verapamil HCL ER).

This is a single-center, open-label, single-sequence, crossover, drug-drug interaction study in healthy subjects.

Primary Objectives:

Safety

- To evaluate the safety of a single dose of INX-08189 (50 mg) alone and combined with verapamil HCL ER (240 mg) after subjects receive verapamil HCL ER QD for 6 days

Pharmacokinetic

- To evaluate the effect of multiple doses of verapamil HCL ER (240 mg) on the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of INX-08189 and the metabolite INX-08032, and the effect of a single dose of INX-08189 on the PK profile of verapamil and the metabolite norverapamil

Inclusion Criteria:

Subjects must meet the following criteria at the screening visit (Visit1) and Visit 2 in order to be eligible for study drug administration:

1. Must be a healthy male or female between 18 and 55 years of age (inclusive) with body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 30 kg/m2 (inclusive), and weigh > 50 kg at the time of signing the informed consent;
2. Capable of giving written informed consent that includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the consent form. Signed informed consent must be on file prior to screening procedures;
3. Subject is able to understand and comply with the protocol requirements, instructions and restrictions;
4. Must be a non-tobacco user for at least 3 months prior to selection;
5. Healthy on the basis of physical examination, medical history, vital signs, electrocardiogram and clinical laboratory tests at screening;
6. Women must be postmenopausal for at least 2 years or be surgically sterile with complete hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy, and not be pregnant nor be breastfeeding;
7. Male subjects, who are not surgically sterile with vasectomy, must agree to use a double barrier method of birth control, such as, a condom plus spermicidal agent (foam/gel/film/cream/suppository). This criterion must be followed from the time of the first dose of study medication until 30 days after the last dose of medication. Male subjects cannot donate sperm during the study and for 3 months after receiving the last dose of the study drug.

Exclusion Criteria:

Subjects must NOT meet the following criteria at the Screening Visit (Visit1), in order to be eligible for study drug administration at Visit 2:

1. Infection with Hepatitis A, B or C Virus;
2. Infection with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV);
3. History of or any current medical condition which could impact the safety of the participant in the study;
4. Current active or underlying GI, cardiovascular, neurologic, psychiatric, metabolic, renal, hepatic, respiratory, inflammatory, or infectious disease;
5. Clinically significant abnormalities on centrally read ECG including evidence of bradycardia (rate < 60 bpm) or evidence of PR prolongation;
6. Screening vital signs representing a heart rate of < 60 bpm, systolic blood pressure < 90 mm Hg, and diastolic blood pressure < 60 mm Hg;
7. Currently significant diarrhea, gastric stasis, or constipation that in the investigator's opinion could influence drug absorption or bioavailability;
8. Safety laboratory abnormalities at screening which are clinically significant, or absolute neutrophil count of < 1800 cells/mm3, or platelet count < 130,000 cells/mm3, or hemoglobin < 12 g/dl for women and < 13 g/dl for men;
9. Women of child bearing potential, pregnant or breastfeeding;
10. Current abuse of alcohol or illicit drugs, or history of alcohol or illicit drug abuse within the preceding 2 years;
11. A positive urine drug test at screening;
12. Consumption of more than 2 units of alcoholic beverages per day or more than 14 units per week (1 unit of alcohol equals 1 glass of beer, 1 glass of wine, 25ml shot of 40% spirit), consumption of alcohol 72 hours before or after study medication intake, consumption of an average of more than five (5) 240 ml servings of coffee or other caffeinated beverages per day;
13. Use of chronic prescription medications within 3 months, acute prescription medications within 14 days, or systemic over-the-counter (OTC) medications, including vitamins, within 7 days of starting the study;
14. Received an investigational drug or vaccine or used an investigational medical device within 3 months or 5 half lives (whichever is longer) before the planned start of treatment or having participated previously in a study with INX-08189;
15. Subjects who have used any drugs or substances known to inhibit or induce cytochrome (CYP) P450 enzymes and/or P-glycoprotein (P-gp) within 28 days prior to the first dose and throughout the study;
16. Consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice starting 48 hours before Study Day -1, during the subject's confinement in the unit, and during the outpatient follow-up periods.
