A Study to Assess Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of GLPG2451 in Healthy Female Subjects

Inclusion criteria

• Female between 18-65 years of age inclusive, on the day of signing informed consent form (ICF).
• Of non-childbearing potential defined as surgically sterile (hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral oophorectomy), or post-menopausal (at least 12 consecutive months without menstruation, without an alternative medical cause [including hormone replacement therapy]). In addition a determination of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) can be performed with FSH >35 mIU/ml to further confirm postmenopausal status without menstruation for ≥12 months.
• A body mass index (BMI) between 18-30 kg/m2, inclusive.
• Judged by the investigator to be in good health based upon the results of a medical history, physical examination, vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), Holter monitoring and a laboratory profile prior to the initial study drug administration.
• Discontinuation of all medications (including over-the-counter medications and herbal supplements) except occasional paracetamol (maximum dose of 2 g/day and maximum of 10 g/2 weeks) at least 2 weeks prior to the first study drug administration. In addition, subjects must agree not to take any medications (including over-the-counter medication and herbal supplements), or alcohol during the course of the study.-non-smokers and non-users of any nicotine-containing products.
• Non-smokers and non-users of any nicotine-containing products. A non-smoker is defined as an individual who has abstained from smoking for at least 1 year prior to the screening. A non-user is defined as an individual who has abstained from any nicotine containing products for at least 1 year prior to the screening.
• Negative urine drug screen (amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cannabis, cocaine, opiates, methadone, and tricyclic antidepressants) and alcohol breath test.
• Able and willing to sign the ICF as approved by the IEC, prior to screening evaluations, and willing to adhere to the prohibitions and restrictions.

Exclusion criteria

• Known hypersensitivity or a significant allergic reaction to any drug as determined by the investigator, such as anaphylaxis requiring hospitalization.
• Positive serology for hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) or any history of hepatitis from any cause with the exception of hepatitis A.
• History of or a current immunosuppressive condition (e.g., human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] infection).
• Symptoms of clinically significant illness in the 3 months before the initial study drug administration.
• Presence or having sequelae of gastrointestinal, liver or kidney (creatinine clearance ≤ 80 mL/min using the Cockroft formula; if calculated result ≤ 80 mL/min, a 24-hour urine collection to determine actual value can be done) or other conditions known to interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of drugs.
• History of malignancy within the past 5 years (except for basal cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix that has been treated with no evidence of recurrence).
• Clinically relevant abnormalities detected on ECG and/or Holter regarding either rhythm or conduction (e.g. QTcF ≥ 470 msec, or a known long QT syndrome). A first degree heart block will not be considered as a significant abnormality.
• Family history (if known) of long QT syndrome in a primary relative.
• Clinically relevant abnormalities detected on vital signs.
• Significant blood loss (including blood donation [> 500 mL]), or having had a transfusion of any blood product within 12 weeks prior to the initial study drug administration.
