How food affects DA-5223 levels in healthy adults

An Open-label, Randomized, Single-dose, Crossover Study to Evaluate the Food Effect on the Pharmacokinetics of DA-5223 in Healthy Adult Subjects

Phase 1 Interventional Dong-A ST Co., Ltd. · NCT07007520

We will see if taking DA-5223 with food changes how much and how quickly the drug appears in the blood of healthy adults.

What this trial studies

This Phase 1 study gives DA-5223 to healthy adult volunteers under both fed and fasting conditions and measures blood drug concentrations over time. Participants receive the drug in each condition and undergo serial blood sampling to determine pharmacokinetic parameters such as peak concentration and overall exposure. The within-subject comparison shows whether a meal alters absorption, distribution, or clearance of DA-5223. Findings will guide how the drug should be taken in later patient studies and labeling.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Healthy adults aged 19–55 with BMI 18.0–30.0 kg/m2 and minimum weights of 50 kg for males and 45 kg for females who can give informed consent.

Not a fit: People who are acutely ill, pregnant or lactating, have gastrointestinal disease or prior surgeries affecting absorption, or who cannot abstain from smoking, alcohol, or caffeine during hospitalization are excluded and unlikely to benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If a food effect is found, results can be used to recommend whether DA-5223 should be taken with or without food so patients receive the intended drug exposure.

How similar studies have performed: Food-effect pharmacokinetic comparisons are a routine, well-established step in drug development and have reliably guided dosing for many medicines.
