Brief TitleA Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Study of Metformin and Canagliflozin in Healthy Adult Volunteers
Official TitleAn Open-Label, Fixed Sequence Study to Investigate the Potential for Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Interaction Between Single-Dose Metformin and Multiple-Dose Canagliflozin in Healthy Subjects
Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to investigate the potential interaction between multiple oral
doses of canagliflozin and a single oral dose of metformin in healthy adult volunteers.
Detailed Description
This is an open-label (volunteers will know the names of treatments they are assigned)
single-center study of canagliflozin and metformin in healthy adult volunteers.
Canagliflozin (a Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 inhibitor) is currently under development to
lower blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metformin is
an approved treatment for patients with T2DM. Canagliflozin will be administered orally (by
mouth) as a single 300-mg tablet on Days 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 and metformin will be
administered orally as two 1,000 mg tablets on Days 1 and 8. Both canagliflozin and
metformin tablets will be taken with 8 ounces (240 mL) of water.
