Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
-Kinetic parameters of endogenous substrates during administration / non-administration of metformin (OCT 2 and MATE probe), cimetidine (MATE 1/2K inhibitor) , dolutegravir (OCT 2 inhibitor). Measurement targets: Creatinine, N1-methylnicotinamide, N1-methyladenosine in plasma and urine, and other endogenous substrates of drug transporters and drug-metabolizing enzymes, including OCT2 and MATE1/2-K. -Evaluation of pharmacokinetics (PK) of metformin, cimetidine, dolutegravir Measurement target: metformin and cimetidine in plasma and urine, dolutegravir in plasma. -Analysis using the PBPK model Calculate the plasma concentration and urinary excretion rate of the test compound using the PBPK model. The difference between the calculated results and the measured values is evaluated by sum of least squares.
