Effect of Dolutegravir on Metformin Pharmacokinetics in Healthy Adult Subjects

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose This study will be a phase 1, open label, parallel group, three period crossover study to evaluate the effect of dolutegravir (DTG) on the steady state pharmacokinetics of metformin and on the safety and tolerability of dolutegravir and metformin. Subjects will have a screening visit within 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug, three treatment periods, and a follow up visit 7-14 days after the last dose of study drug. Eligible subjects will be assigned to one of the two treatment cohorts. Subjects will receive metformin 500 milligram (mg) after every 12 hours (q12h) for 5 days in Period 1; metformin 500 mg q12h plus dolutegravir 50 mg after every 24 hours (q24h) (Cohort 1) or 50 mg q12h (Cohort 2) for 7 days in Period 2; and metformin 500 mg q12h for 10 days in Period 3. There will be no washout periods between treatments. All doses of study drug will be taken following a meal. Safety evaluations will be collected during each period. Serial pharmacokinetic (PK) samples will be collected for metformin on the last day of each period and for dolutegravir on the last day of Period 2.

Brief TitleEffect of Dolutegravir on Metformin Pharmacokinetics in Healthy Adult Subjects
Official TitleA Phase I, Open Label, Parallel Group, Three Period, Fixed Sequence Crossover Study to Evaluate the Effect of Dolutegravir on Metformin Pharmacokinetics in Healthy Adult Subjects
Brief Summary
This study will be a phase 1, open label, parallel group, three period crossover study to
evaluate the effect of dolutegravir (DTG) on the steady state pharmacokinetics of metformin
and on the safety and tolerability of dolutegravir and metformin. Subjects will have a
screening visit within 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug, three treatment
periods, and a follow up visit 7-14 days after the last dose of study drug. Eligible
subjects will be assigned to one of the two treatment cohorts. Subjects will receive
metformin 500 milligram (mg) after every 12 hours (q12h) for 5 days in Period 1; metformin
500 mg q12h plus dolutegravir 50 mg after every 24 hours (q24h) (Cohort 1) or 50 mg q12h
(Cohort 2) for 7 days in Period 2; and metformin 500 mg q12h for 10 days in Period 3.
There will be no washout periods between treatments. All doses of study drug will be taken
following a meal. Safety evaluations will be collected during each period. Serial
pharmacokinetic (PK) samples will be collected for metformin on the last day of each period
and for dolutegravir on the last day of Period 2.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- Male/females aged between 18 and 65 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing
the informed consent.

- Healthy as determined by a responsible and experienced physician, based on a medical
evaluation including [medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests and
cardiac monitoring]. A subject with a clinical abnormality or laboratory parameter(s)
which is/are not specifically listed in the inclusion or exclusion criteria, outside
the reference range for the population being studied may be included only if the
Investigator agrees and documents that the finding is unlikely to introduce
additional risk factors and will not interfere with the study procedures.

(BMI) within the range 18.5 - 31.0 Kg/m^2 (square meters) (inclusive).

- A female subject is eligible to participate if she is of: non-childbearing potential

determined by the product label or investigator) prior to the start of dosing to
sufficiently minimize the risk of pregnancy at that point. Female subjects must agree
to use contraception until 5 days post-last dose. OR has only same-sex partners, when
this is her preferred and usual lifestyle.

mercury (mmHg), or diastolic pressure is outside the range of 45-90 mmHg, or heart

include ST segment changes associated with repolarization); any clinically
significant arrhythmia which, in the opinion of the investigator and GSK Medical

abnormality (including but not specific to left or right incomplete bundle branch
