Study summary

This is a drug-drug interaction study to evaluate the effects of steady-state exposure of E5555 and its main metabolites on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of metformin, an organic cation transporter-2 (OCT2) substrate. In addition, the study will also investigate the effects of E5555 on several renal function parameters.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. To evaluate the effects of multiple doses of E5555 on single dose pharmacokinetics of metformin.

    Time frame: 15 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. To assess the effects of multiple doses of E5555 on the glomerular filtration rate estimated using iohexol.

    Time frame: Days 7 and 14

  2. To assess the effects of multiple doses of E5555 on the effective renal plasma flow estimated using para-aminohippuric acid (PAH).

    Time frame: Days 7 and 14

  3. To assess the multiple dose pharmacokinetics of E5555 and its main 6 metabolites.

    Time frame: Days 12-18

  4. To assess the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of E5555 and a single dose of metformin either given alone or concomitantly

    Time frame: Day 1 - Day 18
