Bioavailability Study of Fexofenadine HCl New Formulation Tablet
Status: Not yet recruiting

The purpose of the study is to assess the relative bioavailability of a new galenic form of fexofenadine HCl new formulation tablet (test drug) taken with or without water compared to fexofenadine HCl film-coated tablets (reference form) taken with water under fasting conditions.

Female participants of non-childbearing potential must be:  post-menopausal (spontaneous amenorrhea for at least 12 months prior to inclusion on Day 1) with confirmation by documented follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels 30 milli-international units per milliliter (mIU/mL); or surgically sterile (bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, hysterectomy or tubal ligation) at least 3 months prior to inclusion on Day 1.  Female participants of childbearing potential who are sexually active with a non-sterile male partner (sterile male partners are defined as men vasectomized for at least 3 months prior to inclusion on Day 1) must be willing to use one of the following acceptable contraceptive methods throughout the study and for 30 days after the last dose:  simultaneous use of hormonal contraceptive (e.g., oral, patch, depot injection, implant, vaginal ring, intrauterine device) or non-hormonal intrauterine device used for at least 4 weeks prior to inclusion on Day 1 (must agree to use the same contraceptive throughout the study) and condom for the male partner; simultaneous use of non-hormonal intrauterine device placed at least 4 weeks prior to inclusion on Day 1 and condom for the male partner; simultaneous use of diaphragm or cervical cap with spermicide and condom for the male partner, started at least 21 days prior to inclusion on Day 1.  Male participants who are not vasectomized for at least 3 months prior to inclusion on Day 1 and who are sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential must be willing to use one of the following acceptable contraceptive methods from the first dose and for 90 days after the last dose:  simultaneous use of condom and hormonal contraceptive (e.g., oral, patch, depot injection, implant, vaginal ring, intrauterine device) or non-hormonal intrauterine device used for at least 4 weeks prior to sexual intercourse for the female partner; simultaneous use of condom and a diaphragm or cervical cap with spermicide for the female partner.

Male participants must be willing not to donate sperm for 90 days after the last dose. Willing to take off dentures or mouth piercing at the time of dosing.

Exclusion Criteria:  Any clinically significant abnormal finding at physical examination at screening.

Presence or history of drug hypersensitivity, or allergic disease diagnosed and treated by a physician. Clinically significant ECG abnormalities or vital signs abnormalities (systolic blood pressure lower than 95 or over 140 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure lower than 45 or over 90 mmHg, or heart rate less than 50 or over 100 bpm) at screening. Symptomatic postural hypotension, irrespective of the decrease in blood pressure, or asymptomatic postural hypotension defined as a decrease of ≥20 mmHg in systolic blood pressure, decrease of ≥10 mmHg in diastolic blood pressure, and increase of ≥30 bpm in heart rate within 3 minutes when changing from supine to standing position. History of drug abuse within 1 year prior to screening or recreational use of soft drugs (such as marijuana) within 1 month or hard drugs (such as cocaine, phencyclidine [PCP], crack, opioid derivatives including heroin, and amphetamine derivatives) within 3 months prior to screening. History of alcohol abuse within 1 year prior to screening or regular use of alcohol within 6 months prior to screening that exceeds 10 units for women or 15 units for men of alcohol per week (1 unit = 340 mL of beer 5%, 140 mL of wine 12%, or 45 mL of distilled alcohol 40%).  Use of medications for the timeframes specified below, with the exception of hormonal contraceptives and medications exempted by the Investigator on a case-by-case basis because they are judged unlikely to affect the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of the study drug or participant safety (e.g., topical drug products without significant systemic absorption):  any biologics (antibody or its derivatives) given within 4 months prior to inclusion on Day 1; depot injection or implant within 3 months prior to inclusion on Day 1; any drug known to induce or inhibit cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A4 metabolism, including St. John's wort, within 30 days prior to inclusion on Day 1; prescription medications within 14 days prior to inclusion on Day 1; any vaccine, including COVID-19 vaccine, within 28 days prior to inclusion on Day 1; over-the-counter (OTC) medications and natural health products (including herbal remedies such as homeopathic and traditional medicines, probiotics, food supplements such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids, and protein supplements used in sports) within 7 days prior to inclusion on Day 1, with the exception of the occasional use of acetaminophen (up to 2 g daily); any drug known to be P-glycoproteins (Pg-p) inhibitors or inducers, Organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATP) inhibitors or inducers or any medication containing ketoconazole (e.g., Nizoral), itraconazole, verapamil, erythromycin, rifampin, and carbamazepine within 14 days prior to inclusion on Day 1 and during the study period. any antacids containing aluminum and magnesium within 14 days prior to inclusion on Day 1 and during the study period. any antihistaminic drug within 14 days prior to inclusion on Day 1. any tricyclic antidepressants within 14 days prior to inclusion on Day 1.
