Study to Evaluate the Effect of Multiple Doses of Itraconazole and Rifampin on the Single-Dose Pharmacokinetics of Mitapivat Sulfate (AG-348) in Healthy Adult Participants

A Two-Part, Open-Label, Fixed-Sequence Study to Evaluate the Effect of Multiple Doses of Itraconazole and Rifampin on the Single-Dose Pharmacokinetics of Mitapivat Sulfate (AG-348) in Healthy Adult Subjects

Part 1 of this study will determine the effect of multiple-dose itraconazole, a strong cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitor, on the single-dose pharmacokinetic(s) (PK) of mitapivat sulfate in healthy adult participants. Part 2 of this study will determine the effect of multiple-dose rifampin, a strong CYP3A4 and P-gp inducer, on the single-dose pharmacokinetic(s) (PK) of mitapivat sulfate in healthy adult participants.

This study consists of 2 periods and 2 parts. Participants will be placed in Part 1 or Part 2, and cannot participate in both:

Part 1, Period 1 includes a screening period up to 28 days prior to dosing and treatment on Day 1.

Part 1, Period 2 includes a treatment period from Day 1 to Day 9 and a possible follow-up, up to 28 days after the last dose of study drug.

Part 2, Period 1 includes a screening period up to 28 days prior to dosing and treatment on Day 1.

Part 2, Period 2 includes a treatment period from Day 1 to Day 12 and a possible follow-up, up to 28 days after the last dose of study drug.

• History or presence of any clinically significant medical or psychiatric condition or disease or clinically significant laboratory abnormality that, in the opinion of the PI or designee, might confound the results of the study, compromise the ability of the participant to complete study procedures, and/or pose an additional risk to the participant by their participation in the study. This includes seizure disorders, transient ischemic attacks, or easy bruising;

• History or presence of a medical condition or surgical procedure that, in the opinion of the PI or designee, may potentially interfere with absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of the study drugs;

• Supine blood pressure is less than 90/40 milliliters of mercury (mmHg) or greater than 140/90 mmHg at screening. If the participant's systolic blood pressure reading exceeds 140 mmHg or the diastolic blood pressure reading exceeds 90 mmHg due to what may be, in the opinion of the PI or designee, an episode of transient anxiety, the reading may be repeated, and the resulting blood pressure measurement used to determine eligibility;

• Supine heart rate is lower than 40 beats per minute (bpm) or higher than 99 bpm at screening. If the participant's heart rate exceeds 99 bpm due to what may be, in the opinion of the PI or designee, an episode of transient anxiety, the reading may be repeated, and the resulting heart rate measurement used to determine eligibility;
