Study summary

This study is being done to look at how tucatinib might affect the way another drug (metformin) works. It will look at healthy volunteers and how tucatinib affects how the body absorbs metformin. This will help us find out whether tucatinib is safe to give together with metformin. The study will also look at how tucatinib affects how the kidneys work.

Read the detailed description

This is a single center, fixed-sequence, drug-drug interaction study to assess the effects of multiple oral doses of tucatinib on the pharmacokinetics of a single oral dose of metformin in healthy subjects. The primary objective of the study is to assess the effects of tucatinib on the single-dose PK of metformin. Secondary objectives of the study are to (1) assess the safety and tolerability of metformin when coadministered with tucatinib and (2) assess the effects of tucatinib on renal function using iohexol as glomerular filtration rate (GFR) marker.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of metformin

    Time frame: Up to 9 days

  2. Time to maximum observed plasma concentration (tmax) of metformin

    Time frame: Up to 9 days

  3. Half-life (t1/2) of metformin

    Time frame: Up to 9 days

  4. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to the last available measurement (AUC0-last) of metformin

    Time frame: Up to 9 days

  5. Area under the plasma concentration time curve to time 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-inf) of metformin
