Effect of P-glycoprotein Inhibition on Lenalidomide Pharmacokinetics in Healthy Males

This will be a single-center, open label, 2-part study. Part 1 will be a two-period, fixed-sequence crossover study with lenalidomide alone in Period 1, followed by lenalidomide in combination with quinidine in Period 2. Part 2 will be a fixed-sequence, three-period, crossover study with lenalidomide alone in Period 1, temsirolimus (via direct intravenous infusion) in Period 2, and lenalidomide in combination with temsirolimus (via direct intravenous infusion) in Period 3. Diphenhydramine (given via intravenous injection) will be administered shortly before temsirolimus in order to decrease the chances of an allergic reaction to temsirolimus. Part 1 and Part 2 will be conducted at the same time. Subjects can only participate in either Part 1 or Part 2.
