Effect of itraconazole and rifampin on BMS-986365 levels in healthy men

A Phase 1, Open-label, 2-part, Fixed-sequence, Crossover Study to Evaluate the Effect of Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A Inhibitor (Itraconazole) and Inducer (Rifampin) on the Pharmacokinetics of AR-LDD (BMS-986365) in Healthy Adult Male Participants

Phase 1 Interventional Celgene · NCT07242781

This trial will test whether taking itraconazole (an antifungal) or rifampin (an antibiotic) changes blood levels of the experimental drug BMS-986365 in healthy adult men.

What this trial studies

This Phase 1 pharmacokinetic interaction study will enroll healthy adult male volunteers to measure BMS-986365 blood concentrations when given alone and when coadministered with itraconazole or rifampin. Participants will receive BMS-986365 in separate dosing periods with controlled administration of the interacting drugs and serial blood sampling to profile drug concentrations over time. Safety monitoring will include vital signs, 12-lead ECG, transthoracic echocardiogram, and laboratory assessments. The study aims to quantify how inhibition or induction of drug-metabolizing pathways alters exposure to BMS-986365.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are healthy adult males with BMI 18.0–32.0 kg/m2 who have no significant or chronic illnesses and normal cardiac, laboratory, and physical exam findings.

Not a fit: Women, people with chronic or significant illnesses, or patients seeking therapeutic benefit from BMS-986365 are unlikely to receive direct clinical benefit from participation.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the results will help clinicians know whether common medications like itraconazole or rifampin alter BMS-986365 levels so they can recommend safe dosing or avoid harmful interactions.

How similar studies have performed: Using itraconazole (a CYP3A inhibitor) and rifampin (a CYP inducer) to probe drug-drug interactions is a standard, well-established approach that has reliably predicted clinical interaction effects for many drugs.
