The aim of this multi-part Phase 1 study is to evaluate the drug-drug interaction (DDI)potential of ALG-097558 via co-administration with a P-gp substrate (dabigatran) and aCYP3A4 inhibitor/P-gp inhibitor (itraconazole). In addition, this study will evaluate therelative bioavailability and food effect of a new tablet formulation for ALG-097558.This study consists of 3 parts, all conducted in healthy volunteers (HV). Study Parts Aand B are designed to assess the perpetrator or victim DDI risk of ALG-097558 mediated byCYP/P-gp interactions in healthy adult subjects. Part A will evaluate the potentialimpact of itraconazole, a CYP3A potent inhibitor, while Part B will investigate thepotential impact of ALG-097558 (perpetrator) on dabigatran etexilate, a P-gp transportersubstrate. Study Part C is designed to study the bioavailability of a new formulation ofthe ALG-097558 tablet and the food effect on this tablet.This study has one primary objective for each part of the study. For Part A: to evaluatethe effect of a CYP3A4 inhibitor/Pg-p inhibitor, itraconazole, on the pharmacokinetics(PK) of ALG-097558 and the metabolite, ALG-097330. For Part B: to evaluate the effect ofmultiple doses of ALG-097558 on the pharmacokinetics of a P-gp substrate, dabigatran. ForPart C: to evaluate the relative bioavailability of 2 different tablet formulations ofALG-097558 and effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of ALG-097558 and the metabolite,ALG-097730.
The aim of this multi-part Phase 1 study is to evaluate the drug-drug interaction (DDI)
potential of ALG-097558 via co-administration with a P-gp substrate (dabigatran) and a
CYP3A4 inhibitor/P-gp inhibitor (itraconazole). In addition, this study will evaluate the
relative bioavailability and food effect of a new tablet formulation for ALG-097558.
This study consists of 3 parts, all conducted in healthy volunteers (HV). As ALG-097558
is a substrate of CYP3A4 and P-gp transporters, any concomitant administration of an
inhibitor or inducer drug may alter its exposures. Part A will evaluate the potential
impact of itraconazole, a CYP3A potent inhibitor, on the ALG-097558 (victim) systemic
exposure in a single group, partially-blinded study. Part B will investigate the
potential impact of ALG-097558 (perpetrator) on dabigatran etexilate, a P-gp transporter
substrate in a single group, open-label study. Study Part C is designed to study the
bioavailability of a new formulation of the ALG-097558 tablet and the food effect on this
tablet in an open-label, randomized, crossover study.
This study has one primary objective for each part of the study. For Part A: to evaluate
the effect of a CYP3A4 inhibitor/Pg-p inhibitor, itraconazole, on the pharmacokinetics
(PK) of ALG-097558 and the metabolite, ALG-097330. For Part B: to evaluate the effect of
multiple doses of ALG-097558 on the pharmacokinetics of a P-gp substrate, dabigatran. For
Part C: to evaluate the relative bioavailability of 2 different tablet formulations of
ALG-097558 and effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of ALG-097558 and the metabolite,
ALG-097730.The study has secondary objectives for each part of the study as well. For
Part A: to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single doses of ALG-097558 in HV
participants when administered as monotherapy or in combination with itraconazole. For
part B: to evaluate the safety and tolerability and PK of multiple doses of ALG-097558 in
HV participants when administered alone or in combination with dabigatran. For part C: to
evaluate the safety and tolerability of single doses of ALG-097558 in HV participants.
