About this study

In vitro, quizartinib is metabolized primarily by CYP3A. Therefore, co-administration of quizartinib with CYP3A inducers may decrease quizartinib exposure. This study will assess the effect of a moderate CYP3A inducer efavirenz on the single dose (60 mg) quizartinib pharmacokinetics in healthy participants.
