To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of vonoprazan (20 mg) and lansoprazole (30 mg) following single (Day 1) and multiple doses (Day 7).

This clinical trial information was submitted voluntarily under the applicable law and, therefore, certain submission deadlines may not apply. (That is, clinical trial information for this applicable clinical trial was submitted under section 402(j)(4)(A) of the Public Health Service Act and 42 CFR 11.60 and is not subject to the deadlines established by sections 402(j)(2) and (3) of the Public Health Service Act or 42 CFR 11.24 and 11.44.).

  4. Medically healthy with no clinically significant medical history, physical examination, laboratory profiles, vital signs, or electrocardiograms (ECGs), as deemed by the principal investigator (PI) or designee.

  5. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) < upper limits of the clinical laboratory reference range (one recheck is permissible).

  6. A female of childbearing potential is either sexually inactive (abstinent as a life style) for 28 days prior to the first dosing and throughout the study or is using one of the following acceptable birth control methods:

     • hormonal oral contraceptives, vaginal ring, transdermal patch, or hormone releasing intrauterine device for at least 3 months prior to the first dosing and with either a physical (e.g., condom, diaphragm, or other) or a chemical (e.g., spermicide) barrier method from the time of screening and throughout the study.
     • Depot/implantable hormone (e.g., Depo-Provera®, Implanon®) for at least 3 months prior to the first dosing and throughout the study.

     In addition, female participants of childbearing potential will be advised to remain sexually inactive or to keep the same birth control method for at least 28 days after the last dose.

  7. A female of non-childbearing potential has undergone one of the following sterilization procedures at least 6 months prior to the first dosing:

     • hysteroscopic sterilization;

  8. A non-vasectomized, male participant must agree to use a condom with spermicide or abstain from sexual intercourse during the study until 90 days after the last dosing. (No restrictions are required for a vasectomized male provided his vasectomy has been performed 4 months or more prior to the first dosing. A male who has been vasectomized less than 4 months prior to study first dosing must follow the same restrictions as a non-vasectomized male).

  7. Positive result for H. pylori breath test at screening.

  8. Had diarrhea or vomiting within 48 hours prior to check-in.

  12. Positive urine drug or alcohol results at screening or check-in.

  13. Positive results at screening for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or hepatitis C virus (HCV).

  14. Seated blood pressure is less than 90/40 mmHg or greater than 140/90 mmHg at screening.

  15. Seated heart rate is lower than 40 bpm or higher than 99 bpm at screening.

  16. Fridericia's correction to the QT interval (QTcF) interval is >460 msec (males) or >470 msec (females) or has electrocardiogram (ECG) findings deemed abnormal with clinical significance by the PI or designee at screening.

  17. Estimated creatinine clearance <80 mL/min at screening.
