Pharmacokinetic Study of Fezolinetant - An Open-Label, Single and Multiple Dose Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Fezolinetant in Healthy Chinese Female Subjects
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of fezolinetant after single-dose and multiple dose administration in healthy Chinese female participants.
Participants will undergo screening evaluations to determine their eligibility within 21 days prior to the study enrollment.
Participants will be admitted to the clinical unit a day before administration (day -1) and will be confined in the clinical unit until 48 hours after last administration (day 18).
Inclusion Criteria:
Subject has a body mass index (BMI) range of > 19 kg/m^2 and ≤ 24.9 kg/m^2.
Subject has a body weight at screening ≥ 45.0 kg.
Subject must either:
Subject must agree not to breastfeed starting at screening and throughout the study period, and for 30 days after the final study drug administration.
Subject must not donate ova starting at screening and throughout the study period, and for 30 days after the final study drug administration.
Subject agrees not to participate in another interventional study while participating in the present study, defined as 84 days prior to the screening test until completion of the last study visit.
Exclusion Criteria:
Subject has been pregnant within 6 months (including delivery or abortion) or has been breast feeding within 3 months prior to the screening test.
Subject has had previous exposure with fezolinetant.
Subject has any clinically significant history of allergic conditions (including drug allergies, asthma, eczema, or anaphylactic reactions, but excluding untreated, asymptomatic, seasonal allergies) prior to study drug administration.
Subject has any history or evidence of any clinically significant cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, endocrinologic, hematologic, hepatic, immunologic, metabolic, urologic, pulmonary, neurologic, dermatologic, psychiatric, renal, and/or other major disease or malignancy.
Subject has/had febrile illness or symptomatic, viral, bacterial (including upper respiratory infection), or fungal (noncutaneous) infection within 1 week prior to day -1.
Subject has any of the liver function tests (aspartate aminotransferase [AST], alanine aminotransferase [ALT], alkaline phosphatase [ALP], gamma-glutamyl transferase [GGT] and total bilirubin [TBL]) above the upper limit of normal at screening or day -1. In such a case, the assessment is allowed to repeated only once.
Subject applies to any of the following concerns with regard to tuberculosis.
Subject had clinically significant abnormality in their laboratory value at screening test and on day -1.
Subject who deviated from the following range of vital signs or routine 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) results at screening test or day -1. If QT interval corrected by Fridericia method (QTcF) exceeds the limits determined, ECG is allowed to be repeated once; if pulse rate or ear temperature exceeds the limits determined, the measurements of pulse and ear temperature are allowed to be repeated once; if the blood pressure exceed limits determined, the measurement of blood pressure should be repeated once. The final judgment should be based on the retest results.
Subject has a positive serology test for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis B core (HBc) antibody, hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody, syphilis and hepatitis A virus (HAV) antibodies (immunoglobulin M [IgM]) at screening.
Subject has used any drugs of abuse (amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids, tricyclic antidepressants, phencyclidine, cocaine and opiates) within 3 months prior to day -1. Subject who has a history of drug abuse within 2 years prior to screening test.
Subject has used any prescribed or nonprescribed drugs (including vitamins, oral contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy [HRT], natural and herbal remedies, e.g. St. John's Wort, Chinese medicine such as Heyan Kuntai Capsule) in 3 months prior to study drug administration, except for occasional use of paracetamol (up to 2 g/day) and topical dermatological products, including corticosteroid products.
Subject has used any inducer of metabolism (e.g. barbiturates, rifampin) in 3 months prior to day -1.
Subject has a history of smoking within 3 months prior to day -1.
Subject whose daily caffeine consumption is ≥ 500 mg (500 mg of caffeine: about 800 mL of coffee, 1600 mL of black tea, 2500 mL of green tea, 5000 mL of cola).
Subject whose weekly alcohol consumption is ≥14 units* within 6 months prior to screening test, or who has a history of alcohol dependency, drug dependency, chemical dependency, or alcohol abuse within 2 years prior to screening test (*1 unit: approximately 360 mL of beer, 120 mL of wine, 30 mL of spirit).
Subject who has had blood sampled or donated blood during the following period.
Subject is employed by the sponsor, contract research organization (CRO), or study center associated with this study.
Subject is deemed unsuitable for participating in the study.
