Detailed Description

The aim of this multi-part Phase 1 study is to evaluate the drug-drug interaction (DDI) potential of ALG-097558 via co-administration with a P-gp substrate (dabigatran) and a CYP3A4 inhibitor/P-gp inhibitor (itraconazole). In addition, this study will evaluate the relative bioavailability and food effect of a new tablet formulation for ALG-097558. This study consists of 3 parts, all conducted in healthy volunteers (HV). As ALG-097558 is a substrate of CYP3A4 and P-gp transporters, any concomitant administration of an inhibitor or inducer drug may alter its exposures. Part A will evaluate the potential impact of itraconazole, a CYP3A potent inhibitor, on the ALG-097558 (victim) systemic exposure in a single group, partially-blinded study. Part B will investigate the potential impact of ALG-097558 (perpetrator) on dabigatran etexilate, a P-gp transporter substrate in a single group, open-label study. Study Part C is designed to study the bioavailability of a new formulation of the ALG-097558 tablet and the food effect on this tablet in an open-label, randomized, crossover study. This study has one primary objective for each part of the study. For Part A: to evaluate the effect of a CYP3A4 inhibitor/Pg-p inhibitor, itraconazole, on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of ALG-097558 and the metabolite, ALG-097730. For Part B: to evaluate the effect of multiple doses of ALG-097558 on the pharmacokinetics of a P-gp substrate, dabigatran. For Part C: to evaluate the relative bioavailability of 2 different tablet formulations of ALG-097558 and effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of ALG-097558 and the metabolite, ALG-097730.The study has secondary objectives for each part of the study as well. For Part A: to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single doses of ALG-097558 in HV participants when administered as monotherapy or in combination with itraconazole. For part B: to evaluate the safety and tolerability and PK of multiple doses of ALG-097558 in HV participants when administered alone or in combination with dabigatran. For part C: to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single doses of ALG-097558 in HV participants.
