drug-drug interaction study of chf5993 with cimetidine

Conditions: COPD

Summary: the purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic interaction when chf5993 (pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pmdi) is administered with cimetidine (probe inhibitor of the organic cation transport in the kidneys), by comparing the systemic exposure (auc0-t) of glycopyrronium bromide (gb), after a single dose of the fixed combination chf 5993 pmdi administered alone or at steady-state of cimetidine

the safety and tolerability of study treatments based on evaluation of vital signs, electrocardiograms and clinical laboratory assessments will be also evaluated.
