About this study

The study will comprise:

  • A screening period of maximum 28 days;
  • Two treatment periods:
  • Treatment Period 1 starts with admission to the Clinical Unit on Day -1, followed by dosing on Day 1 with the assigned treatment (A, B, C, or D) as per assigned cohort and treatment sequence, followed by a washout period of at least 14 days.
  • Treatment Period 2 starts with admission to Clinical Unit on Day -1, followed by dosing on Day 1 with cross-over treatment as per assigned cohort, followed by a follow-up period of 7 to 10 days.
  • A follow-up visit/early termination visit at 7 to 10 days after the last investigation medicinal product (IMP) administration.

Subjects will be assigned to either Cohort 1 (tacrolimus) or to Cohort 2 (cyclosporin). Each cohort will have 2 treatment periods. Subjects in each cohort will be randomly assigned to one of 2 treatment sequences (AB|BA or CD|DC) where,

  • Treatment A: Tacrolimus
  • Treatment B: Tacrolimus + SZC
  • Treatment C: Cyclosporin
  • Treatment D: Cyclosporin + SZC

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

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

Inclusion criteria

  • Healthy male and female subjects aged 18 to 50 years (both inclusive)

Exclusion criteria

  • History of any clinically significant disease or disorder which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may either put the volunteer at risk because of participation in the study, or influence the results or the volunteer's ability to participate in the study.
  • History or presence of gastrointestinal, hepatic or renal disease, or any other condition known to interfere with absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of drugs.
  • Any clinically important abnormalities in rhythm, conduction or morphology of the 12-lead safety electrocardiogram (ECG), at screening visit and/or admission to the Clinical Unit.
  • Has received another new chemical entity (defined as a compound which has not been approved for marketing) within 3 months of the first administration of IMP in this study.
  • History of severe allergy/hypersensitivity or ongoing allergy/hypersensitivity, as judged by the Investigator or history of hypersensitivity to drugs with a similar chemical structure or class to SZC, tacrolimus, or cyclosporin.
  • Subjects who have previously received SZC.

Treatment and study plan

Tacrolimus

Drug

Each subject in this cohort will receive a single dose of oral capsules of tacrolimus on 2 occasions, once alone and once in combination with oral suspension of SZC. Drug administrations will occur after a 12 hour overnight fast.

Cyclosporin

Drug

Each subject will receive a single dose of oral capsules of cyclosporin on 2 occasions, once alone and once in combination with oral suspension of SZC. Drug administrations will occur after a 12 hour overnight fast.

Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate

Drug

Each subject will receive single oral doses of SZC with tacrolimus (cohort 1) or cyclosporin (cohort 2) under fasted conditions. The doses will be administered after an overnight fast of at least 12 hours.

Primary outcomes

  1. Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax)

    Time frame: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours post-dose of tacrolimus or cyclosporin

    Effect of co-administered SZC on the Cmax of tacrolimus and cyclosporin in healthy participants was determined.

  2. Area Under Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity (AUCinf)

    Time frame: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours post-dose of tacrolimus or cyclosporin

    Effect of co-administered SZC on the AUCinf of tacrolimus and cyclosporin in healthy participants was determined.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Time of Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUClast)

    Time frame: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours post-dose of tacrolimus or cyclosporin

    Effect of co-administered SZC on the AUClast of tacrolimus and cyclosporin in healthy participants was determined.

  2. Time to Reach Maximum Observed Concentration Following Drug Administration (Tmax)

    Time frame: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours post-dose of tacrolimus or cyclosporin

    Effect of co-administered SZC on the tmax of tacrolimus and cyclosporin in healthy participants was determined.

  3. Half-life Associated With Terminal Slope (λz) of a Semi-logarithmic Concentration-time Curve (t½λz)

    Time frame: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours post-dose of tacrolimus or cyclosporin

    Effect of co-administered SZC on the t½λz of tacrolimus and cyclosporin in healthy participants was determined.

  4. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious AEs

    Time frame: From the time of IMP administration (Day 1) to Follow-up/Early Termination Visit (7-10 days after last IMP administration) [up to 4 weeks]

    Safety and tolerability of co-administration of SZC and tacrolimus/cyclosporin as compared to tacrolimus/cyclosporin alone was assessed.
