Effects of Gastric pH on the Pharmacokinetics of Dasatinib

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The goal of this study is to evaluate the ability of a natural supplement (betaine hydrochloride) to affect the absorption of dasatinib in healthy volunteers. The investigators predict that betaine hydrochloride will increase the absorption of dasatinib, in volunteers pre-treated with proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs).

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Area-Under-the Concentration Curve from zero-to-twenty two hours (AUC,0-22) of Dasatinib | The primary outcome measure will be dasatinib area-under-the-concentration curve (AUC) values from zero-to-twenty two (0-22) hours. Values from Experiemntal Arms of the study (Dasatinib plus Rabeprazole; Dasatinib plus Rabeprazole AND Betaine Hydrochloride) will be compared against the active comparator (dasatinib alone) and tested for statistical significance. | Day 4 | 
| Area-Under-the Concentration Curve from zero-to-infinity (AUC,0-inf) of Dasatinib | The primary outcome measure will be dasatinib area-under-the-concentration curve (AUC) values from zero-to-infinite time (0-inf). Values from Experiemntal Arms of the study (Dasatinib plus Rabeprazole; Dasatinib plus Rabeprazole AND Betaine Hydrochloride) will be compared against the active comparator (dasatinib alone) and tested for statistical significance. | Day 4 | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Maximum Concentration of Dasatinib | The maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) will also be measured. Values from Experiemntal Arms of the study (Dasatinib plus Rabeprazole; Dasatinib plus Rabeprazole AND Betaine Hydrochloride) will be compared against the active comparator (Dasatinib alone) and tested for statistical significance. | Day 4 |
