Brief summary

This study was a non-randomized, open-label, one-sequence, two-period within-subject study to investigate the effect of CYP3A inhibition on the PK of balovaptan in healthy male and female volunteers using itraconazole as a CYP3A inhibitor. The study was conducted at 1 site in the Netherlands.

Interventions

In Period 1, balovaptan was administered orally once daily (qd) on Days 1 to 10. In Period 2, balovaptan was administered qd on Days 6 to 20.

DRUGItraconazole

In Period 2, 200 mg itraconzole was administered bid for 4 days and qd on Days 5-20, approximately 12 hours apart. On Days 6-20, 200 mg itraconazole was administered qd.

Inclusion criteria

* Healthy male and female subjects. Healthy status is defined by absence of evidence of any active or chronic disease following a detailed medical and surgical history, a complete physical examination including vital signs, 12-lead ECG, hematology, blood chemistry, urinalysis, and serology. * Body Mass Index of 18 to 30 kg/m2, inclusive. * For women of childbearing potential: agreement to use at least 2 acceptable contraceptive methods during the treatment period and for 90 days after the last dose of study drug. * For men: agreement to use contraceptive measures, and agreement to refrain from donating sperm until 90 days after the last dose of study drug.

Exclusion criteria

* Female subjects who are pregnant or lactating. * Any condition or disease detected during the medical interview/physical examination that would render the subject unsuitable for the study, place the subject at undue risk or interfere with the ability of the subject to complete the study in the opinion of the Investigator.
