To Investigate PK and PD of CJ-12420, Clarithromycin, Amoxicillin After Multiple Dose Administration

An Open-label, Randomized Study to Evaluate Pharmacokinetic Interaction, Pharmacodynamics and Safety After Multiple Oral Dosing of CJ-12420 and Amoxicillin/Clarithromycin in Healthy Subjects

Cohort 1

To evaluate the pharmacokinetic interactions of CJ-12420 after multiple oral doses of CJ-12420 given alone or in combination with amoxicillin/clarithromycin in healthy subjects.

Cohort 2

To evaluate the pharmacodynamic profiles of CJ-12420 after multiple oral doses of CJ-12420 in combination with amoxicillin/clarithromycin in healthy subjects as compared to an active control group, i.e., pantoprazole in combination with amoxicillin/clarithromycin.

To evaluate the pharmacokinetic the drug-drug interaction of CJ-12420 and amoxicillin/clarithromycin and investigate the pharmacodynamic of co-administration of CJ-12420 and amoxicillin and clarithromycin.

3. Body mass index (BMI) ≥18.5 and ≤28 kg/m2;
4. Considered eligible based on medical examinations (including interview, vital signs, 12-lead ECG, physical exam and laboratory tests) which are set and performed in accordance with the nature of investigational product by the investigator;
5. Voluntary consent to participate in the study after being fully informed of purpose and procedures of the study, and profiles of investigational product prior to the participation;

4. Drug/dietary restrictions

   1. Medications (including herbal supplements) or abnormal diet (e.g., grapefruit juice > 1 L/day, excessive garlic, broccoli, kale, etc.) which may have effect on absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of investigational products within 28 days prior to the first study dose;
   2. Use of prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs (OTCs) or vitamins within 10 days prior to the first study dose;

   2. Subject or his partner's inability to use of medically qualifying dual-contraceptive methods or medically acceptable contraception (including intrauterine device with established pregnancy failure rate, barrier methods with spermicide, vasectomy, tubectomy, tubal ligation and hysterectomy) from screening to 30 days of the last dose of investigational product.
