What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial aims to understand how carbamazepine affects the body's processing of another drug, PF-07220060, in healthy adults. It consists of two parts: first, researchers will observe how the body handles PF-07220060 alone, and then how it is processed after several days of carbamazepine use. Healthy adults with a body mass index (BMI) between 17.5 and 30.5 and weighing more than 110 pounds may be suitable candidates. As a Phase 1 trial, this research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new treatment.

Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?

Yes, you will need to stop taking any prescription or nonprescription drugs, dietary, and herbal supplements at least 7 days or 5 half-lives before the trial starts. Also, you cannot use medications that strongly affect certain liver enzymes up to 56 days before the trial.

Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?

Research has shown that carbamazepine is often used to treat seizures and other conditions. It is usually well-tolerated but may cause side effects like dizziness or nausea and can alter the effects of other drugs in the body.

PF-07220060 is a newer drug under study to assess its safety and effects. Previous studies found it can cause common side effects, such as a low white blood cell count, diarrhea, and nausea, though serious side effects have been rare.

The current study is in its early stages, with safety being closely monitored. In these initial trials, researchers focus on understanding possible side effects and how the body processes the drug. This helps determine the treatment's safety for further research. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?

Researchers are excited about these treatments because they explore how PF-07220060 interacts with carbamazepine, a common antiepileptic drug. Unlike the standard of care, which focuses on managing symptoms, this trial aims to understand drug interactions that could optimize future treatments. PF-07220060 is unique in its potential to influence metabolic pathways differently when combined with carbamazepine, offering insights into more personalized medication strategies. This could lead to improved effectiveness and safety profiles for patients requiring multiple medications.

What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective?

Research has shown that carbamazepine, a drug that affects the processing of other drugs in the body, can reduce PF-07220060 levels by 63.5%. This trial will examine how the body processes PF-07220060 both when taken alone and after multiple doses of carbamazepine. Previous studies have found PF-07220060 to be safe and effective when combined with other treatments for certain cancers, such as HR-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer. However, its safety and effectiveness when used alone remain under investigation. This trial aims to better understand the interaction between these two drugs. ^{1 2 5 6 7}

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• Carbamazepine
• PF-07220060

Trial Overview

The study tests how Carbamazepine affects the processing of PF-07220060 in the body. It's divided into two periods: one where PF-07220060 is given alone, and another where it's combined with increasing doses of Carbamazepine over several days.

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: Period 2 Experimental Treatment 2 Interventions

Single dose PF-07220060 given after multiple doses of carbamazepine

Group II: Period 1 Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Single dose PF-07220060 alone

Published Research Related to This Trial

Carbamazepine (CBZ) can significantly affect the metabolism of other drugs, potentially leading to clinically important drug interactions, as it may accelerate the metabolism of medications like phenytoin and warfarin.

Conversely, other drugs such as phenytoin and erythromycin can also influence the metabolism of CBZ, highlighting the need for careful monitoring of drug interactions in patients taking CBZ.
