Study summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of itraconazole (a strong inhibitor of cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A)) and rifampicin (a strong inducer of CYP3A) on the pharmacokinetics of ASC40 in healthy volunteers.

Interventions

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. AUC of ASC40

    Evaluate the Area under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve after single oral dose of ASC40 administered to healthy volunteers in the presence or absence of CYP3A inhibitor or inducer.

    Time frame: Up to 24 days

  2. Cmax of ASC40

    Evaluate the Peak Plasma Concentration after single oral dose of ASC40 administered to healthy volunteers in the presence or absence of CYP3A inhibitor or inducer.

    Time frame: Up to 24 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. t1/2 of ASC40

    Evaluate the Terminal-Phase Half-Life after single oral dose of ASC40 administered to healthy volunteers in the presence or absence of CYP3A inhibitor or inducer.

    Time frame: Up to 24 days

  2. CL/F of ASC40

    Evaluate the Apparent Systemic Clearance after single oral dose of ASC40 administered to healthy volunteers in the presence or absence of CYP3A inhibitor or inducer.

    Time frame: Up to 24 days

  3. Vd/F of ASC40

    Evaluate the Apparent Volume of Distribution after single oral dose of ASC40 administered to healthy volunteers in the presence or absence of CYP3A inhibitor or inducer.

    Time frame: Up to 24 days

  4. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability]

    Occurrence of Serious Adverse Event (SAE), Adverse Event (AE) resulting in treatment discontinuation and/or dose reductions, and AE of special interest, from baseline up to 24 days.

    Time frame: Up to 24 days

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 23, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
