Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine how multiple doses of canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754) affect the pharmacokinetics (ie, how the body affects the drug) of multiple doses of digoxin. The safety and tolerability of canagliflozin will also be assessed in healthy volunteers.
Detailed description
This study will be an open label (all volunteers and study staff know the identity of the assigned treatment), randomized (the treatment is assigned by chance), multiple dose, cross-over study (all volunteers will switch from one treatment to another) to determine how canagliflozin (a drug currently being investigated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus) affects the pharmacokinetics of digoxin (a drug used to treat various heart conditions). Volunteers will be randomly assigned to 1 of 2 treatment sequence groups: Group AB or Group BA. Volunteers assigned to Group AB will be given Treatment A: digoxin once a day for 7 days. Volunteers assigned to Group BA will be given Treatment B: digoxin and canagliflozin once a day for 7 days. A washout period (when no medication is given) of at least 14 days will follow the first 7-day treatment period. Following the washout period, volunteers will be assigned to the treatment that they did not receive during the first treatment period. This second treatment period will last for 7 days. Each volunteer will participate in the study for approximately 60 days.
Interventions
Two 0.25 mg tablets (0.5 mg total dose) taken orally (by mouth) on Day 1.
One 0.25 mg tablet taken orally on Days 2 through 7.
One 300 mg tablet taken orally on Days 1 through 7.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Volunteers must have a body mass index (BMI = weight in kg/height in m2) between 18 and 30 kg/m2 (inclusive), and body weight not less than 50 kg *
Exclusion criteria
* History of, or current active illness, considered to be clinically significant by the Investigator, or any other illness that the Investigator considers should exclude the patient from the study, or that could interfere with the interpretation of the study results
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Plasma concentration of digoxin | Days 5 through 7 | Comparison of plasma concentrations of digoxin following administration of digoxin alone (Treatment A) or in combination with canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754) (Treatment B). This will be used to determine whether there is a pharmacokinetic interaction between digoxin and canagliflozin. |
| Urine concentration of digoxin | Day 7 | Comparison of the urine concentrations of digoxin following administration of digoxin alone (Treatment A) or in combination with canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754) (Treatment B). This will be used to determine whether there is a pharmacokinetic interaction between canagliflozin and digoxin. |
