A Study to Evaluate the Effect of Different Meal Types on the Pharmacokinetics of DBPR108 in Healthy Subjects

An Open-label, Randomized, Three-period, Crossover, Single-dose Study to Evaluate the Effect of a Low-fat Meal and a Standard Meal on the Pharmacokinetics of DBPR108 in Healthy Subjects

This is an open-label, randomized, three-period, crossover, single-dose study to evaluate the effects of a low-fat meal and a standard meal on the pharmacokinetics of DBPR108 and the safety and tolerability of DBPR108 under different fed states in healthy adult subjects.

The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of different meal types on the pharmacokinetics of DBPR108, a potent dipeptidylpeptidase-4 inhibitor. In this open-label, randomized, three-period, crossover study, healthy subjects will receive a single dose of DBPR108 100 mg under fasted conditions and following a low-fat meal or a standard meal. Twenty-one healthy subjects will be randomized 1:1:1 to Sequence A, Sequence B, or Sequence C. This study will consist of a screening and baseline period, a treatment period, and a follow-up period. Blood samples for pharmacokinetic assessments will be taken pre-dose and up to 48 h post-dose.

1. Subjects fully understand and voluntarily participate in this study and sign informed consent;
2. Healthy male and/or female subjects between the ages of 18 and 45 years (inclusive);
3. Body Mass Index (BMI) of 18 to 28 kg/m2 (inclusive), body weight for male ≥50.0 kg and for female≥45.0 kg；
4. Subjects (including their partners) are willing to use effective contraceptives from screening to the 6 months after the last dose administration;
5. Subjects judged to be in good health by the investigator, based on the physical examination, vital signs examination, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) examination and laboratory examination etc;

Exclusion Criteria:

1. History of allergic conditions, or allergic to any ingredients of DBPR108;
2. History of severe diseases, such as cardiovascular, respiratory, liver, gastrointestinal, endocrine, hematological, psychiatric/neurological systems diseases within 1 year prior to screening;

8. Blood donation (or blood loss) ≥400 mL, or receiving blood product transfusion within 3 months prior to screening;
9. Consumption of grapefruit juice, methylxanthine-rich food or beverage (such as coffee, tea, cola, chocolate, energy drinks), or those who have had strenuous exercise, or have other factors affecting drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, within 48 h before the administration;
10. Use of any prescription drug, over-the-counter drug (except acetaminophen and some nasal sprays), or herbal medicine within 2 weeks prior to screening;
11. Have special dietary requirements and cannot consume the study meals;
12. Subject with hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C virus antibody, human immunodeficiency virus antibody or Treponema pallidum antibody positive;
