Drug-drug-interaction Study to Assess the Effect of Darolutamide on the Pharmacokinetics of Probe Substrates of CYP3A4 and P-gp in Healthy Male Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Healthy subject - as determined by the investigator or medically qualified designee based on medical evaluations including medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests and cardiac monitoring.
• Gender: Male.
• Age: 45 to 65 years (inclusive) at the screening visit.
• Race: White.
• Body mass index (BMI): ≥18.0 and ≤30.0 kg/m2.
• Agree to use condoms as an effective contraception barrier method and refrain from sperm donation during the whole study (starting after informed consent) and for 3 months after the end of treatment with darolutamide.

In addition, participants must agree to utilize a second reliable method of contraception simultaneously. The second method which has to be used by a female partner of childbearing potential can be one of the following methods: diaphragm or cervical cap with spermicide or intra-uterine device or hormone-based contraception. Therefore, contraception methods to be used by male subjects and female partners are in line with clinical trial facilitation group recommendations related to contraception in clinical trials.

• Ability to understand and follow study-related instructions.
• Results of alcohol tests are negative at screening and on Study Day -1.
• Confirmation of the subject's health insurance coverage prior to the first screening examination/visit.

Exclusion criteria

• Existing relevant diseases of vital organs (e.g. liver diseases, heart diseases), central nervous system (for example seizures) or other organs (e.g. diabetes mellitus).
• Incompletely cured pre-existing diseases for which it can be assumed that the absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination and effects of the study drugs will not be normal.
• Known history of hypersensitivity (or known allergic reaction) to medications including any ingredient of midazolam, benzodiazepines, dabigatran etexilate, or darolutamide.
• Relevant hepatic disorders like cholestasis, disturbances of bilirubin metabolism, any progressive liver disease.
• Relevant renal disorders like recurrent glomerulonephritis, renal injury, and renal insufficiency. However, a history of a single episode of uncomplicated nephrolithiasis will not prevent participation.
• CYP3A4 inhibitors within 1 week or 5 drug half-lives, whichever is longer, before start of study treatment or during the study.
• CYP3A4 inducers as well as St John's Wort within 28 days or 5 drug half-lives, whichever is longer, before start of study treatment or during the study.
• Known BCRP and OATP substrates within 28 days or 5 drug half-lives, whichever is longer, before start of study treatment or during the study.
• P-gp inducers (e.g. rifampin) within 28 days or 5 drug half-lives, whichever is longer, before start of study treatment or during the study.
• P-gp inhibitors within 1 week or 5 drug half-lives, whichever is longer, before start of study treatment or during the study.
