Effect of Food on Bioavailability of a Modified Release Formulation of Imatinib

This is a single center, four-treatment, four period, crossover study to evaluate the effect of food on the relative bioavailability of a single dose of imatinib (STI571) given as a 800 mg modified release tablet, MR2 compared to twice-daily doses of 400 mg film-coated imatinib tablets. There will be a 10 day wash out phase between treatments and a 1 week safety period at the end of the study. Each participant will receive all four treatments

Treatment and study plan

Imatinib

Drug

Primary outcomes

  1. Assess the effect of food on bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of modified and immediate release formulations of imatinib

Secondary outcomes

  1. To compare safety and tolerability of 800 mg modified release formulation with or without food.

  2. To compare the relative bioavailability of a single dose 800 mg modified release formulation (with a low fat breakfast) with the marketed 400 mg immediate release tablet administered (with a low fat breakfast) twice daily
