BMS-986419 for Drug Interaction in Healthy Subjects
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to understand how BMS-986419, an experimental treatment, affects the body's processing of certain common drugs. Researchers seek to determine how BMS-986419 interacts with drugs like caffeine, which many consume daily, and others like bupropion and omeprazole, used for depression and acid reflux, respectively. The trial focuses on healthy individuals without major health issues or a history of significant medical problems. Participants should have a body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 32 and weigh at least 50 kg. As a Phase 1 trial, this research explores how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive it.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, since the study involves assessing the effect of a new drug on other substances, it's possible that some medications might need to be paused. Please consult with the trial coordinators for specific guidance.
Is there any evidence suggesting that BMS-986419 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research shows that BMS-986419 is under study for its safety and effects. Although specific safety data for BMS-986419 is not yet available, similar drugs have shown promising results. For example, a related drug, BMS-986001, was generally safe in studies. This suggests that BMS-986419 might also be well-tolerated. However, since this trial is in an early stage, the main goal is to learn about its safety and side effects in people. Participants should understand that while early trials provide important safety information, they also involve some uncertainty.12345
Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Researchers are excited about BMS-986419 because it could offer a novel approach to drug interaction management. Unlike current treatments that may not account for complex drug interactions, BMS-986419 is designed to evaluate how it affects the levels of various drugs in the body when administered together with probe substrates. This unique focus can lead to better understanding and possibly safer medication regimens, as it aims to provide insights into how medications interact at a metabolic level. This innovation could significantly enhance patient safety and treatment efficacy by tailoring medication plans to minimize adverse interactions.
What evidence suggests that BMS-986419 could be effective in affecting the pharmacokinetics of these substrates?
The trial studies BMS-986419, a new drug, to understand its effects on how the body processes other medications. Participants will receive a combination of cocktail probe substrates and BMS-986419. Research has shown that BMS-986419 might alter the blood levels of certain drugs, such as caffeine, bupropion (used for depression), and omeprazole (for stomach issues). The goal is to learn how BMS-986419 interacts with these drugs. Although still in early stages, the hope is that this information will help doctors manage medication use more effectively with BMS-986419.15678
