A Phase 1, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Effect of Food and Concomitant Itraconazole Administration on the Pharmacokinetics of AMG 986 in Healthy Subjects

This phase 1, open-label study evaluated the effect of food and administration of the cytochrome P450 3A4 and P-glycoprotein inhibitor itraconazole (ITZ) on the pharmacokinetics of AMG 986. In cohort 1, 12 healthy subjects received a single oral dose of AMG 986 200 mg +/- food on days 1 and 10. In cohort 2, 15 healthy subjects received oral ITZ 200 mg once daily on days 8 to 15 and a single oral dose of AMG 986 10 mg on days 1 and 11. The geometric least squares mean ratios of fed/fasted for AMG 986 maximum observed concentration (C-max) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity (AUC(inf)) were 0.76 (90%CI, 0.61-0.95) and 1.07 (90%CI, 0.94-1.22), respectively. The geometric least squares mean ratios of AMG 986 10 mg plus ITZ 200 mg/AMG 986 10 mg alone for AMG 986 C-max and AUC(inf) were 1.36 (90%CI, 1.25-1.48) and 5.13 (90%CI, 4.71-5.59), respectively. Overall, 3 subjects experienced mild treatment-related adverse events; there were no serious or fatal adverse events. In conclusion, food had no apparent effect on the exposure of AMG 986 200 mg; therefore, food restrictions are not required. Potent cytochrome P450 3A4 and/or P-glycoprotein inhibitors may warrant AMG 986 dose reduction and should be coadministered with caution in patients with heart failure treated with AMG 986.
