Summary

Coadministration of FAM (20 mg) 10 and 2 hours prior to administration of GZR/EBR (100/50 mg) had no clinically relevant effect on the PK of GZR or EBR. Investigators concluded that that FAM may be coadministered with the GZR/EBR in HCV-infected patients.

Study Design

In an open-label, 3-period, fixed-sequence study, 16 healthy adultsubjects received famotidine (FAM) 20 mg approximately 10 hours (Day -1) and 2 hours (Day 1) prior to administration of GZR/EBR 100/50 mg on Day 1 (Period 1). In Period 2, subjects received a single dose of Grazoprevir/Elbasvir(GZR/EBR 100/50 mg) on Day 1 in the fasted state, approximately 2 hours after FAM dosing.After at least 10-day washout, subjects received pantoprazole (PAN) 40 mg once daily for 5 days (Days 1 to 5) followed by administration of GZR/EBR 100/50 mg, 2 hours after PAN administration on Day 5 (Period 3).

Study Results

Coadministration of FAM (20 mg) 10 and 2 hours prior to administration of GZR/EBR (100/50 mg) resulted in no significant effect on pharmacokinetics (PK) parameters of either GZR or EBR.The geometric mean ratios (GMRs; GZR/EBR + FAM / GZR/EBR) [90% CIs] of GZR were: 0.89 [0.71, 1.11] for Cmax, 1.10 [0.95, 1.28] for AUC, 1.12 [0.97, 1.30] for C24GMRs (GZR/EBR + FAM / GZR/EBR) [90% CIs] of EBR were: 1.11 [0.98, 1.26] for Cmax, 1.05 [0.92, 1.19] for AUC, 1.03 [0.91, 1.17] for C24The effect of GZR/EBR on the PK of FAM was not reported.
