Brief summary

This is a Phase 1, three-part, open-label study to evaluate vadadustat as a perpetrator in drug-drug interactions with rosuvastatin, sulfasalazine, pravastatin, atorvastatin and simvastatin in healthy male and female subjects.

Detailed description

This is a Phase 1, three-part, open-label study to evaluate vadadustat as a perpetrator in drug-drug interactions with rosuvastatin, sulfasalazine, pravastatin, atorvastatin, and simvastatin in healthy male and female subjects. Thirty-four (34) subjects will be enrolled in Part 1 (rosuvastatin) and based on review of the PK and safety/tolerability data, a decision will be made on whether to proceed with Part 2. Part 2 consists of 2 arms (sulfasalazine and pravastatin). Twenty-six (26) subjects will be enrolled into each arm. Part 3 consists of 2 arms (atorvastatin and simvastatin). Twenty-four (24) subjects will be enrolled into each arm after enrollment in Part 2 is completed. Subjects will be in the study for up to 72 days, including a 28-day screening period, 6-14 day in clinic period, and a 30-day follow up period post last dose. Blood samples for PK analysis will be collected at pre-defined time points throughout the study.
