5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This trial aims to characterise the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile and estimate drug exposure of a single oral dose of piperaquine (PQP) in a dispersible granule formulation compared to the PQP hard tablet formulation in the fasted state (Part 1), to advise the selection of dose when the PQP granule formulation is administered in a fed state in healthy adult participants. Part 2 will assess the effect on different types of meal composition on the PK of a single dose of PQP granule formulation in healthy adult participants.
Detailed Description
Adult participants who give written informed consent will be screened within 45 days to determine their eligibility before entering the trial on Day -1. The trial will initially establish the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile and estimated drug exposure of a single oral dose of PQP in a dispersible granule formulation compared to the PQP hard tablet formulation in the fasted state (Part 1). In the second study part, and based on the PK results of Part 1, it is intended to administer the same dose level of 320 mg PQP dispersible granules concomitant with different fed conditions. However, if from Part 1 of the study it is shown that PQP dispersible granules formulation provides a significant improvement in Cmax values in the fasted state, this dose level may be adjusted for Part 2, in order to take into account a potential 3-fold increase in exposure which is the observed food effect when film-coated tablets (Eurartesim®) are administered with a high fat/high calorie meal. Such dose adjustment will be based on the safety and preliminary PK interim results of the granule formulation in the fasted state. The PQP dose selected in Part 2 (as dispersible granules formulation) will take into account a 3-fold factor increase in exposure when administered with food (see above) with such predicted exposure in the presence of food being not higher than after the administration of 960 mg PQP in tablet of Eurartesim® in adult subjects dosed in fasting conditions. Furthermore, sufficient data will be available to address key questions on both, safety and PK parameters to enable the review and recommendation by the SRC for the optimal dose of the granule formulation to be administered in Part 2.

Current or recurrent disease (e.g., cardiovascular, haematological, neurological, endocrine, immunological, renal, hepatic or gastrointestinal or other conditions, including cholecystectomy or gastrectomy) that could affect the action, absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of PQP or could affect clinical assessments or clinical laboratory evaluations.
