Assessment of Change in CYP3A Activity by Route of Administration Using Metabolic Markers in Healthy Male Volunteers

Assessment of Change in CYP3A Activity by Route of Administration Using Metabolic Markers in Healthy Male Volunteers

The study objective is to evaluate and validate of endogenous markers for the assessment of change in CYP3A activity by route of administration in Korean healthy subjects using metabolomics. In addition, we aim to screen novel endogenous marker, which could determine the total or intestinal CYP activity.

This study is an open-label, one-sequence, three-period study. A total of 16 healthy male subjects will be enrolled. In period 1, subjects will be administered midazolam IV 1 mg, and co-administration of midazolam IV 1mg and grapefruit juice 500 mL. In period 2, subjects will be administered midazolam PO 5 mg, and co-administration of midazolam PO 5mg and grapefruit juice 500 mL. In period 3, subjects will be administered clarithromycin 500 mg for 3-days in b.i.d regimen prior to admission. Subjects will be administered midazolam IV 1mg and PO 5mg after admission.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age: Between 19 to 50 years of age
• Weight: Within 17 - 28 of Body Mass Index (BMI)
• Subject who are reliable and willing to make themselves available during the study period, and subject who are willing to follow the study protocol, and give their written informed consent voluntarily.

Exclusion Criteria:

• History of hypersensitive reaction to medication (midazolam, aspirin, NSAID, antibiotics, benzodiazepine, erythromycin, macrolide)

• Subjects who have donated a unit of whole blood within two months or blood components within one month prior to study drug administration
• Subjects who consume more than 21 units of alcohol per week (1 unit = 10 g of pure alcohol) or who are unable to abstain from drinking during the admission period
• Smokers (except for those who had quit for at least three months before the first administration of the IP)
• Subjects who consume or are unable to abstain from products containing grapefruit during study period
• Subjects who consume or are unable to abstain from products containing caffeine during study period
