Brief summary

This study will evaluate the bioavailability, palatability, safety and tolerability of entrectinib in healthy volunteers. Part 1 of the study will explore the performance of entrectinib multi-particle formulation. Part 2 will evaluate the effect of drug substance particle size on entrectinib bioavailability.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)From Day -1 to Day 5 of each periods (each period=7 days)An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are AEs that were not present before the first dose of study drug or that were present before the first dose of study drug but worsened in intensity during exposure to study drug.

Part 1 T1T2R Sequence
Participants were randomly assigned to one of the three treatment sequences (T1T2R, T2RT1, RT1T2). In each treatment sequences, participants crossed over to three periods (each period=7 days) taking different formulations of entrectinib. Entrectinib was administered as a single 600 milligram (mg) oral dose under fed condition in three different formulations. Test formulation 1 (T1): film-coated mini-tablet; Test formulation 2 (T2): film-coated mini-tablet; Reference formulation (R): hard capsule. The washout period between entrectinib doses was at least 14 days.

Test formulation (T): hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) capsule; Reference formulation (R): hard capsule. The washout period between entrectinib doses was at least 14 days.
