Study of the Effect of Food Intake on the Bioavailability of XC8 10 mg Film-coated Tablets

An Open-label, Randomized, Cross-over Study With 2 Treatments (Fasting and After Meals), 3 Periods, 2 Sequences, and an Adaptive, Two-stage Design to Evaluate the Effect of Food Intake on the Bioavailability of XC8, Film-coated Tablets, 10 mg at a Single Dose of 20 mg in Healthy Volunteers

Primary objective of the study: evaluation of the effect of food intake on the bioavailability of XC8, film-coated tablets, 10 mg after a single oral administration in fed or fasted condition at a dose of 20 mg (two tablets).

Additional objective of the study: evaluation of pharmacokinetic parameters, safety and tolerability of XC8, film-coated tablets, 10 mg in healthy volunteers after single oral administration in fed or fasted condition in a dose of 20 mg (two tablets).

9. Taking medications that have significant effects on hemodynamics or liver function (barbiturates, omeprazole, cimetidine, etc.) for less than 30 days before screening.
10. Vital signs outside the reference intervals: SBP less than 110 mmHg or greater than 130 mmHg; DBP less than 60 mmHg or greater than 85 mmHg; HR less than 60 bpm or greater than 90 bpm; body temperature less than 35.5 or greater than 36.9° C, RR less than 16 or greater than 20 bpm.
11. Laboratory values outside the reference intervals.
12. Intake of more than 10 units of alcohol per week (where each unit equals 30 ml of spirits or 120 ml of wine or 330 ml of beer) or anamnestic evidence of alcoholism, drug addiction, substance abuse, drug abuse.
13. Smoking more than 10 cigarettes per day and failure to abstain from smoking 48 hours before the study and during the hospital stay.
14. Special diet (e.g., vegetarian, vegan, restricted salt intake) or lifestyle (night work, extreme physical activity).
15. Consumption of alcohol, caffeine, and xanthine-containing products 72 hours before taking the drug product.
16. Consumption of citrus fruits, cranberries and products containing them, preparations or products containing St. John's wort - 7 days before taking the IP. 17.
17. Dehydration due to diarrhea, vomiting, or other reason within the last 24 hours prior to IP administration.

19. Positive result of rapid test for COVID-19.
20. Positive breath alcohol test.
21. Positive urine drug test (cocaine, marijuana, amphetamine, methamphetamine, morphine, barbiturates).
22. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, positive urine pregnancy test (for women of preserved reproductive potential).
23. Use of hormonal contraceptives (oral, transdermal, injectable, implantable) by a female volunteer for 2 months prior to the drug administration.
24. Donation of blood (450 ml or more) within 30 days prior to the study.
25. Participation in a clinical drug study of any phase within 90 days prior to the start of the study.
26. Unavailability for observation during the study, inability to keep the visit schedule, inability to be hospitalized for the required duration, high likelihood of problems with successful insertion of a venous catheter or performing a forearm vein puncture.
27. Belonging to a vulnerable group of volunteers (minors; incapacitated; people with limited free will or possibly participating under compulsion (serving a sentence in prison, being in custody in detention centers, military personnel)), as well as law enforcement officers.
28. Other reasons that, in the opinion of the researcher, prevent the participation of the volunteer in the research or create an unreasonable risk.

Withdrawal criteria:

1. Withdrawal of consent to participate in the study.
2. SAE, irrespective of causal relationship to drug intake.
