NCT03746106

Brief Summary

In Part 1, subjects will be administered thiamine, thiamine with metformin, and thiamine with trimethoprim. Part 2 will expand on Part 1 and subjects will be administered thiamine and thiamine with trimethoprim. The goal is to determine whether taking a drug and a vitamin together affects the body's ability to absorb, distribute, and eliminate thiamine (Vitamin B1).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Thiamine in Plasma Between the Combination Arm(s) and Single Agent Arm

    Plasma samples were collected at pre-dose and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 hours post-dose for each cycle. Cmax is determined by taking blood samples at various time points after drug administration and analyzing the thiamine concentration in plasma.

    The highest concentration of a thiamine observed in the blood plasma after drug administration

  • Area Under the Curve From 0 to 24 (AUC0-24)Hours of Thiamine in Plasma Between the Combination Arm(s) and Single Agent Arm

    Plasma samples were collected at pre-dose and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 hours post-dose for each cycle. AUC0-24 (Area Under the Curve from 0 to 24 hours) is a pharmacokinetic (PK) parameter that represents the total drug exposure in the body over a 24-hour period. It is calculated as the area under the plasma thiamine concentration vs. time curve (from time zero to 24 hours after drug administration).

    Plasma samples were collected at pre-dose and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 hours post-dose for each cycle.
