Drug-drug Interactions Between AZD4205 and Itraconazole/Carbamazepine

A Phase 1, Single-Center, Nonrandomized, Open-Label, 2-Part, Fixed-Sequence, Drug-Drug Interaction Study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of AZD4205 When Orally Administered Alone, When Coadministered With Itraconazole, and When Coadministered With Carbamazepine in Healthy Adult Subjects

This is a Phase 1, single-center, nonrandomized, open-label, 2-part, fixed-sequence, drug-drug interaction (DDI) study to assess the effect of multiple doses of itraconazole, a CYP3A4 enzyme inhibitor, on the single dose PK of AZD4205 in healthy adult subjects (Part A) and to assess the effect of multiple doses of carbamazepine, a CYP3A4 inducer, on the single dose PK of AZD4205 in healthy adult subjects (Part B).

7. Any disease which, in the opinion of the investigator, poses an unacceptable risk to the subject.
8. Clinically relevant issues of visual function as determined from the medical history and physical exams, as judged by the investigator.
9. Clinically significant history of any drug sensitivity, drug allergy, or food allergy, as determined by the investigator.
10. History of allergy or hypersensitivity to AZD4205, or other drugs similar in class or similar in chemical structure to AZD4205, as judged by the investigator.

12. History of malignancy of any type.
13. Evidence of clinically significant or relevant renal, hematological, endocrine, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hepatic, psychiatric, neurological, or allergic disease.
14. Manifestation of malabsorption due to prior gastrointestinal surgery, gastrointestinal disease, or any other reason that may affect the absorption of AZD4205.

16. Positive test result for alcohol and/or drugs of abuse at screening or on Day -1.
17. Positive test result from Quantiferon-TB Gold test.
