Brief summary

This clinical trial is intended to evaluate the effects of the changes in intestinal microbiome by antibiotics (PO vancomycin) on the pharmacokinetic /pharmacodynamic and safety profiles of metformin in healthy male volunteers.

Interventions

DRUGMetformin (part 1)

1\ 4d: Metformin 1000 mg bid (Except for 500 mg after 1d lunch), 16d\ 19d: Metformin 1000 mg bid (Except for 500 mg after 16d lunch).

DRUGVancomycin

11d: Vancomycin 250 mg bid, 12\ 17d: Vancomycin 500 mg bid

DRUGMetformin (part 2)

1\ 4d: Metformin 1000 mg bid (Except for 500 mg after 1d lunch)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Compare the gut microbiome species changeDay 1/4/16/19Compare how the gut microbiome species change after metformin (or vancomycin) multiple dosing

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Compare the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of metforminDay 4/19 (pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 hours post-dose)Compare the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of metformin before and after vancomycin PO treatment
Compare the area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of metforminDay 4/19 (pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 hours post-dose)Compare the area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of metformin before and after vancomycin PO treatment
Compare the maximum blood glucose concentration (Gmax)Day 1/4/16/19 (pre-dose (75 g glucose), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5. 2 hours)Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT); Compare the maximum blood glucose concentration (Gmax) before and after metformin (or vancomycin) PO treatment
