A Study to Assess the Effects of Multiple Doses of Fidaxomicin on a Single Dose of Rosuvastatin in Healthy Male Subjects

This study will assess the effect of multiple doses of fidaxomicin on the single dose pharmacokinetics of rosuvastatin in healthy male subjects. Determine the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of fidaxomicin in the presence of a single dose of rosuvastatin in healthy male subjects. Also determine the pharmacokinetics of multiple doses of fidaxomicin and its metabolite OP-1118.

About this study

Sequence 1:

Thirteen subjects receive an oral dose of rosuvastatin on Day 1 in Period 1 and on Day 13 in Period 2 and twice-daily oral doses of fidaxomicin on Days 8 to 17 in Period 2, according to the following treatment schedule:

  • Period 1: Subjects receive a single oral dose of rosuvastatin on Day 1, followed by a 5-day pharmacokinetic (PK) sampling period.
  • Period 2: The same subjects receive fidaxomicin twice daily for 5 days (Days 8 to 12). On Day 13, a single oral dose of rosuvastatin and an oral dose of fidaxomicin is administered simultaneously in the morning. Twice-daily treatment with fidaxomicin continues until the end of Day 17. Subjects are discharged on Day 18 when all assessments are performed and if there are no medical reasons to prolong the stay.

Sequence 2:

Thirteen subjects receive an oral dose of rosuvastatin on Day 6 in Period 1 and on Day 14 in Period 2. Oral doses of fidaxomicin are administered twice daily for 10 days in Period 1, according to the following treatment schedule:

  • Period 1: Subjects receive fidaxomicin twice daily for 5 days (Days 1 to 5). On Day 6, a single oral dose of rosuvastatin is administered simultaneously with an oral dose of fidaxomicin in the morning. Twice daily treatment with fidaxomicin continues until the end of Day 10.
  • Period 2: Subjects receive a single oral dose of rosuvastatin on Day 14, followed by a 5-day PK sampling period. Subjects are discharged on Day 19 when all assessments are performed and if there are no medical reasons to prolong the stay.

In both sequences, subjects return to the clinical unit for an End of Study Visit (ESV) 7 to 14 days after (early) discharge.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • The subject has a Body Mass Index (BMI) range of 18.5 to 30.0 kg/m2. The subject weighs at least 50 kg at Screening.
  • Male subject and his female spouse/partner who is of childbearing potential must be using highly effective contraception consisting of two forms of birth control (one of which must be a barrier method) starting at Screening and continue throughout the study period and for 90 days after final study drug administration.
  • The subject must not donate sperm starting at Screening and through-out the study period and for at least 90 days after final study drug administration.

Exclusion criteria

  • The subject has a history of or current Clostridium difficile infection.
  • The subject has a history of stomach or intestinal surgery or resection that would potentially alter absorption and/or excretion of orally administered drugs.

Primary outcomes

  1. Effect of multiple doses of fidaxomicin on the single dose pharmacokinetics of rosuvastatin as measured by maximum observed concentration

    Time frame: Day 1-6 (sequence1/period1) & Day 13-18 (sequence1/period2) Day 6-11 (sequence2/period1) & Day 14-19 (sequence2/period2)

    Cmax (maximum observed concentration)

  2. Effect of multiple doses of fidaxomicin on the single dose pharmacokinetics of rosuvastatin as measured by area under the concentration time curve from time zero extrapolated to infinity

    Time frame: Day 1-6 (sequence1/period1) & Day 13-18 (sequence1/period2) Day 6-11 (sequence2/period1) & Day 14-19 (sequence2/period2)

    AUCinf (area under the concentration time curve from time zero extrapolated to infinity)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Effect of multiple doses of fidaxomicin on the single dose pharmacokinetic profile of rosuvastatin

    Time frame: Day 1-6 (sequence1/period1) & Day 13-18 (sequence1/period2) Day 6-11 (sequence2/period1) & Day 14-19 (sequence2/period2)

    AUClast (Area under the concentration time curve from time point zero to last quantifiable concentration), CL/F (apparent clearance following oral administration), tmax (time to attain Cmax (maximum observed concentration), t1/2 (terminal elimination half-life), Vz/F (apparent volume of distribution during terminal phase)

  2. Safety and tolerability of multiple doses of fidaxomicin in the presence of a single dose of rosuvastatin

    Time frame: Screening (Day -22 to -2) to ESV (7 to 14 days after (early) discharge)

    Adverse Events (AE), vital signs, laboratory tests, 12-lead Electrocardiogram (ECG)

  3. PK of multiple doses of fidaxomicin and its metabolite OP-1118

    Time frame: Day 9-15 (sequence 1/period2) & Day 2-8 (sequence2/period1)

    tmax (time to attain Cmax (maximum observed concentration), AUCtau (area under the concentration time curve over a dosing interval), Ctrough (measured concentration at the end of a dosing interval (taken directly before next administration))
