Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of multiple doses of isavuconazole on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of tacrolimus after single dose administration.
Detailed description
Subjects will receive a single dose of tacrolimus on Day 1 followed by a 15 day wash-out period (time from tacrolimus dosing to isavuconazole dosing). On Days 16 and 17, isavuconazole will be dosed three times daily (TID). TID doses will be administered 8 hours apart. On Days 18 through 28 isavuconazole will be administered once daily (QD). All subjects will be administered a single dose of tacrolimus on Day 20. A follow up visit will occur approximately 7 days after the last dose of isavuconazole. Blood samples for pharmacokinetics will be collected throughout the study.

Inclusion criteria
* The subject must weigh at least 45 kg and have a body mass index (BMI) of 18 to 32 kg/m2, inclusive * The subject has a normal 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) * The subject's clinical laboratory test results are within normal limits * Results for aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and total bilirubin must be within the normal range * If female, the subject agrees to sexual abstinence, or is surgically sterile, postmenopausal (defined as at least 2 years without menses), or using a medically acceptable double barrier method to prevent pregnancy and agrees to continue using this method from Screening until three weeks after the follow up visit at the end of study; and is not lactating or pregnant as documented by negative serum pregnancy tests * If male, the subject agrees to sexual abstinence, is surgically sterile, or is using a medically acceptable method to prevent pregnancy during the study period and for three weeks after the follow up visit at the end of the study
Exclusion criteria
* Any clinically significant disease history of the following systems: pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cardio-vascular (including a history of clinically significant arrhythmia or clinically significant conduction delays on ECG), hepatic, neurological, psychiatric, renal, genitourinary, endocrine, metabolic, dermatologic, immunologic, hematologic, or malignancy excluding non melanoma skin cancer * The subject has a history of unexplained syncope, cardiac arrest, unexplained cardiac arrhythmia or torsade de pointes, structural heart disease, or family history of Long QT syndrome (suggested by sudden death of a close relative at a young age due to possible or probable cardiac causes) * History of tuberculosis or exposure to anyone known or suspected to have tuberculosis or any illness that might confound the results of the study or pose additional risk in administering study drug to the subject * The subject has/had a symptomatic, viral, bacterial (including upper respiratory infection), or fungal (non-cutaneous) infection within 1 week prior to clinic admission * The subject has received a vaccination within the last 30 days prior to study drug administration or plans to receive any vaccinations within 2 weeks after the last dose of study drug * The subject has a positive result for hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C antibodies, or QuantiFERON®-TB Gold test(s) or is known to be positive for human immunodeficiency virus * The subject has a known or suspected allergy to any of the components of the trial products including tacrolimus or the azole class of compounds or a history of multiple and/or severe allergies to drugs or foods or a history of hypersensitivity to polyoxyl 60 hydrogenated castor oil, or a history of severe anaphylactic reactions * The subject is a smoker (any use of tobacco or nicotine containing products) in the last 6 months * The subject has had treatment with prescription drugs or complementary and alternative medicines within 14 days prior to study drug administration, or over-the-counter medication within 1 week prior to Day -1, with the exception of acetaminophen up to 2 g/day * The subject has received an experimental agent within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to Day -1 * The subject has had any significant blood loss, donated one unit (450 mL) of blood or more, or received a transfusion of any blood or blood products within 60 days or donated plasma within 7 days prior to clinic admission * The subject has taken part in strenuous exercise within 3 days before dosing in this trial * The subject anticipates an inability to abstain from caffeine or alcohol use for 48 hours prior to clinic admission and throughout the duration of the study; or from grapefruit, grapefruit juice, star fruit, or Seville oranges or any products containing these items from 72 hours prior to clinic admission and throughout the duration of the study * The subject has a recent history (within the last 2 years) of drug or alcohol abuse, or a positive drug screen * The subject has any other condition which precludes the subject's participation in the trial
