A Drug-Drug Interaction Study in Healthy Volunteers of the Effects of Tucatinib on Metformin

This is a single center, fixed-sequence, drug-drug interaction study to assess the effects of multiple oral doses of tucatinib on the pharmacokinetics of a single oral dose of metformin in healthy subjects. The primary objective of the study is to assess the effects of tucatinib on the single-dose PK of metformin. Secondary objectives of the study are to (1) assess the safety and tolerability of metformin when coadministered with tucatinib and (2) assess the effects of tucatinib on renal function using iohexol as glomerular filtration rate (GFR) marker.
