Study in Healthy Volunteers to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of VM-1500

Phase I, Drug-drug Interaction Study in Healthy Volunteers to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of VM-1500 When Administered Orally, in Combination With Raltegravir or Darunavir

A randomized single dose, drug-drug interaction study in healthy volunteers for VM - 1500 given alone or in combination with Raltegravir or Darunavir in a 3 arm approach. The parallel design is used due to the long half life for VM-1500.

This drug-drug interaction study will not be done as a cross-over study due to the extreme long half life of the drug. The 24 healthy subjects participating will be randomized to VM-1500 alone or VM-1500 in combination with Raltegravir or Darunavir in parallel arms.

For the cohort taking VM-1500 40 mg only just 4 subject will be enrolled as 6 subjects have been already on the same regimen in the trial before. Based on the parallel design it seems appropriate not to expose more healthy subjects than necessary. This means the available data of 6 subjects dosed with 40 mg VM-1500 alone will be matched.

Three groups of healthy subjects will be randomized to VM-1500 alone or VM-1500 in combination with Raltegravir or Darunavir (4:10:10). The healthy subjects will stay at the unit and receive 40 mg VM-1500 alone or VM1500 in combination with Raltegravir or Darunavir one time and PK blood samples at several time points will be collected. PK (trough level) blood samples will also be collected at visits on Days 2, 4,7, 14, 21, and on Day 36.
