What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Last Sample Time (AUC0-tlast) of Xevinapant (Debio 1143)

    The area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) from time zero (= dosing time) to the last sampling time (tlast) at which the concentration is at or above the lower limit of quantification. Calculated using the mixed log-linear trapezoidal rule (linear up, log down).

    Measured: Predose, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 , 36, 48 and 72 hours postdose

  2. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC0-inf) of Xevinapant (Debio 1143)

    The AUC from time zero (dosing time) extrapolated to infinity, based on the predicted value for the concentration at t last , as estimated using the linear regression from Terminal first order (elimination) rate constant (Lambda z) determination. AUC0-inf = AUC0-t plus Clast pred/lambda z. Lambda Z was terminal elimination rate constant determined from the terminal slope of the log-transformed plasma concentration curve using linear regression on terminal data points of the curve.

    Measured: Predose, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 , 36, 48 and 72 hours postdose

  3. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Xevinapant (Debio 1143)

    Cmax was obtained directly from concentration versus time curve.

    Measured: Predose, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 , 36, 48 and 72 hours postdose

Secondary outcomes (19)
  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious TEAEs, and Related TEAE's

    An Adverse event (AE) was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease associated with the use of study drug, whether or not considered related to the study drug or worsening of pre-existing medical condition, whether or not related to study drug. A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect or was otherwise considered medically important. An AE was considered as 'treatment emergent' if it occurred after the first drug administration of each period or if it was present prior to drug administration but exacerbated after the drug administration. TEAEs included both serious TEAEs and non-serious TEAEs.

    Measured: Up to Day 8

  2. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) by Severity

    Severity of TEAEs were graded using Qualitative Toxicity Scale, as follows: Mild: Participant is aware of the event or symptom, but the event or symptom is easily tolerated; Moderate: Participant experiences sufficient discomfort to interfere with or reduce his or her usual level of activity; Severe: Significant impairment of functioning: the participant is unable to carry out his or her usual activities. Number of participants with TEAEs by severity were reported.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) up to Day 8

  3. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes From Baseline in Laboratory Values

    The laboratory measurements included hematology, blood chemistry and urinalysis. Number of participants with clinically significant changes from baseline in laboratory values were reported. Clinically Significance was decided by investigator.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) up to Day 8

  4. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Change From Baseline in 12-lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) Findings

    The 12-lead ECG recordings were obtained after 5 minutes of rest in a semi-supine position. ECG recordings included rhythm, ventricular rate, PR interval, QRS duration, QT and QTc intervals. Number of participants with clinically significant changes from baseline in 12-lead ECG findings were reported. Clinically significance was decided by investigator.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) up to Day 8

  5. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Change From Baseline in Vital Signs

    Vital sign assessment included blood pressure, pulse rate, body temperature and respiration rate. Number of participants with clinically significant changes from baseline in vital signs were reported. Clinically significance was decided by investigator.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) up to Day 8

  6. Area Under Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to 24 Hours (AUC0-24) of Xevinapant (Debio 1143)

    AUC0-24 is defined as the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) from time zero (= dosing time) to 24 hours. AUC0-24 was calculated using the mixed log-linear trapezoidal rule.

  8. Apparent Terminal Half-Life (t1/2) of Xevinapant (Debio 1143)

    t1/2 was the time measured for the concentration to decrease by one half. Terminal half-life calculated by natural log 2 divided by lambda z. Terminal first order (elimination) rate constant was determined from the terminal slope of the log-transformed concentration curve using linear regression on terminal data points of the curve.

    Measured: Predose, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 , 36, 48 and 72 hours postdose

  9. Apparent Clearance (CL/f) of Xevinapant (Debio 1143)

    The apparent total body clearance of study intervention following extravascular administration, taking into account the fraction of dose absorbed. CL/f was calculated as Dose/AUC0-inf, where AUC0-inf was estimated by determining the total area under the curve of the concentration versus time curve extrapolated to infinity. AUC0-inf was calculated as AUC0-t + Clast pred/Lambda Z, where Clast pred was the calculated plasma concentration at the last sampling time point at which the measured plasma concentration was at or above the lower limit of quantification (LLQ) and Lambda Z was the apparent terminal rate constant determined from the terminal slope of the log-transformed plasma concentration curve.

    Measured: Predose, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 , 36, 48 and 72 hours postdose
