Brief summary

Researchers designed belzutifan, the study medicine, to treat certain kinds of cancer. The goal of this study is to learn what happens to belzutifan in a healthy person's body over time when taken, by mouth, as a tablet. Researchers will learn what happens when belzutifan is taken alone and when it is taken after several days of treatment with phenytoin.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to Infinity (AUC0-Inf) of BelzutifanPredose and at designated timepoints up to 120 hours postdoseBlood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-inf of belzutifan.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Drug Due to an AEUp to approximately 22 daysAn AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The number of participants who discontinue study due to an AE will be reported.
Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to Last (AUC0-last) of Belzutifan in PlasmaPredose and at designated timepoints up to 120 hours postdoseBlood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-last of belzutifan.
Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to 24 Hours (AUC0-24) of Belzutifan in PlasmaPredose and at designated timepoints up to 24 hours postdoseBlood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-24 of belzutifan.
Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Belzutifan in PlasmaPredose and at designated timepoints up to 120 hours postdoseBlood samples will be collected to determine the Cmax of belzutifan.
Number of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Event (AE)Up to approximately 36 daysAn AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The number of participants who experience an AE will be reported.
Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Belzutifan in PlasmaPredose and at designated timepoints up to 120 hours postdoseBlood samples will be collected to determine the Tmax of belzutifan.
Apparent Terminal Half-life (t1/2) of Belzutifan in PlasmaPredose and at designated timepoints up to 120 hours postdoseBlood samples will be collected to determine the t1/2 of belzutifan.
Apparent Clearance (CL/F) of Belzutifan in PlasmaPredose and at designated timepoints up to 120 hours postdoseBlood samples will be collected to determine the CL/F of belzutifan.
Apparent Volume of Distribution during terminal phase (Vz/F) of Belzutifan in PlasmaPredose and at designated timepoints up to 120 hours postdoseBlood samples will be collected to determine the Vz/F of belzutifan.
Plasma Concentration 24 Hours Postdose (C24) of Belzutifan in Plasma24 hours postdoseBlood samples will be collected to determine the C24 of belzutifan.
