Itraconazole and Divarasib Interaction Study
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests how the drug Itraconazole affects the body's processing of another drug, Divarasib, in healthy individuals. Participants will take Itraconazole for a set period, followed by Divarasib, to observe their interaction and check for any side effects. The trial seeks individuals without long-term health issues, no medication allergies, and a healthy body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 32. As a Phase 1 trial, this research aims to understand how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new drug.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial team or your doctor.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Previous studies have shown Divarasib to be generally safe. This medication targets a specific change in cancer cells. Most patients have tolerated it well, and it has proven safe for long-term use in some cancer treatments.
Itraconazole, used to treat fungal infections, has been available for a long time. However, it can sometimes cause serious effects when combined with other drugs, so monitoring these interactions is important.
This trial specifically studies how Divarasib and Itraconazole work together.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about Divarasib and Itraconazole because they offer a novel approach to treatment. Unlike other treatments, Divarasib specifically targets the KRAS G12C mutation, which is a common driver in several cancers but is challenging to treat with existing therapies like chemotherapy or immunotherapy. Itraconazole, typically an antifungal, is being explored here for its potential to enhance the effectiveness of Divarasib by affecting how the drug is processed in the body. This combination could lead to more efficient targeting of cancer cells and potentially improve patient outcomes.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective?
Research has shown that Divarasib is a promising treatment for certain cancers. It targets a specific change in cancer cells called KRAS G12C, often found in some lung and colon cancers. Studies have demonstrated that Divarasib has led to positive results in patients, especially when combined with other treatments. In this trial, participants in Treatment A will receive a single oral dose of Divarasib. Meanwhile, Itraconazole, a well-known antifungal medication used to treat infections, is also being studied for its effects on other drugs, like Divarasib. Participants in Treatment B will receive Itraconazole along with Divarasib to examine how Itraconazole might alter the way Divarasib works in the body.14678
