Bioavailability, Bioequivalence and Tolerability of IHL-42X Compared to the Reference Drugs
- Summary
- The goal of this randomised four-period cross-over Phase I study is to assess bioavailability, bioequivalence and tolerability of IHL-42X compared to the reference drugs in healthy volunteers. Volunteers will be enrolled and randomised to one of four treatment groups. Each group is to receive all four treatments in a twenty eight day cross-over study, with each treatment period running for seven days. The four treatment groups are described below; A = dronabinol 5 mg, fasted; B = acetazolamide 250 mg, fasted; C = IHL-42X (5 mg dronabinol, 250 mg acetazolamide), fasted; D = IHL-42X (5 mg dronabinol, 250 mg acetazolamide), fed. Each treatment group will enrol at least 29 participants each, for a total of at least 116 participants. Bioavailability and bioequivalence will assess and compare all four of the seven day treatments.

Bioavailability of IHL-42X
Timeframe: 28 days
Assess the proportion of IHL-42X that is taken up and enters the circulation post dose.
Bioequivalence of IHL-42X
Timeframe: 28 days
Compare the proportion of IHL-42X taken up and enters the circulation to the reference listed drugs for dronabinol and acetazolamide. It will be determined whereby 90% confidence interval for the ratio of averages of measures Cmax and AUC0-inf for IHL-42X and the reference listed drug.
Effect of food on IHL-42X - maximum observed drug concentration
Timeframe: 7 days
Assess the effect of food on the uptake and absorption of IHL-42X by measuring Cmax (Maximum observed drug concentration)
Effect of food on IHL-42X - time of the maximum drug concentration
Timeframe: 7 days
Assess the effect of food on the uptake and absorption of IHL-42X by measuring Tmax (time of the maximum drug concentration)
Effect of food on IHL-42X - area under the drug concentration time curve from time zero to time of last measurable concentration
Timeframe: 7 days
Assess the effect of food on the uptake and absorption of IHL-42X by measuring AUC0-last (Area under the drug concentration-time curve, from time zero to time of last measurable concentration)
Effect of food on IHL-42X - area under the drug concentration time curve from time zero to infinity
Timeframe: 7 days
Assess the effect of food on the uptake and absorption of IHL-42X by measuring AUC0-inf (Area under the drug concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity)
Effect of food on IHL-42X - area under the drug concentration time curve from time zero to 12 hours
Timeframe: 7 days
Assess the effect of food on the uptake and absorption of IHL-42X by measuring AUC0-12h (Area under the drug concentration-time curve from time zero to 12 hours)
Effect of food on IHL-42X - area under the drug concentration time curve from time zero to 24 hours
Timeframe: 7 days
Assess the effect of food on the uptake and absorption of IHL-42X by measuring AUC0-24h (Area under the drug concentration-time curve from time zero to 24 hours)
Effect of food on IHL-42X - the elimination half-life
Timeframe: 7 days
Assess the effect of food on the uptake and absorption of IHL-42X by measuring t1/2 (the elimination half-life)
Effect of food on IHL-42X - terminal elimination rate constant
Timeframe: 7 days
Assess the effect of food on the uptake and absorption of IHL-42X by measuring kel (Terminal elimination rate constant)
Effect of food on IHL-42X - apparent total body clearance
Timeframe: 7 days
Assess the effect of food on the uptake and absorption of IHL-42X by measuring CL/F (Apparent total body clearance)
Effect of food on IHL-42X - apparent volume of distribution
Timeframe: 7 days
Assess the effect of food on the uptake and absorption of IHL-42X by measuring Vz/F (Apparent volume of distribution)
Safety and tolerability
Timeframe: 28 days
Assess the number of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious treatment emergent adverse events associated with the dosing of IHL-42X in comparison to the reference listed drugs, dronabinol and acetazolamide.
