Food Effect on Pharmacokinetic Parameters of ABX464

An Open, Randomized Study, to Investigate the Potential Food Effect on Pharmacokinetic Parameters of ABX464 Administered Orally to Healthy Male Subjects

The goal of this study is to determine the impact of the food on the absorption of the ABX464.

This is a phase I, single-center, open-label, two-treatment, food-effect, randomized study in 40 healthy Caucasian male subjects in order to determine the impact of the food on the absorption of the ABX464.

The two different treatments are the followings:

• Treatment A = 50mg of ABX464 (two 25mg capsules) /Fasted
• Treatment B = 50mg of ABX464 (two 25mg capsules) / Fed

This study consists of two groups:

• Group 1 - single dose assessments, two-period, two-treatment, cross-over: 20 subjects will receive a single dose of 50mg of ABX464 in fed and fasted condition, separated by a wash-out period of at least 45 days.
• Group 2 - multiple dose assessments: 20 subjects will receive 50mg of ABX464 every 3 days during 10 days in fasted or fed condition.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Healthy Caucasian male subjects, 18-55 years of age

• Body Mass Index (BMI) of 17-28 kg/m².

• Certified as healthy by a comprehensive clinical assessment (detailed medical history and complete physical examination)

• Normal vital signs after 10 minutes resting in supine position:

  90 mmHg < systolic blood pressure < 140 mmHg, 50 mmHg < diastolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg, 40 bpm < heart rate < 100 bpm.

• Normal automatic 12-lead ECG (incomplete right bundle branch block can be accepted) or judged as non clinically significant.

• Clinical laboratory tests (hematology, blood chemistry, and urinalysis) must be within normal limits or clinically acceptable to Investigator and Sponsor.

• Subjects must be willing to give written informed consent prior to study enrollment and be able to adhere to restrictions and examination schedules.

• Individuals who are positive for hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus or HIV.
• History or presence of drug or alcohol abuse (positive urine drug screen, positive alcohol breath test).
• Smoking more than 5 cigarettes or equivalent / day, unable to stop smoking during the study.
