A Study to Determine the Effects of PF-04965842 on Midazolam PK in Healthy Volunteers

• Drug: PF-04965842
  orally bioavailable small molecule that selectively inhibits JAK1 by blocking the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding site.
  Other Name: JAK1 Inhibitor
• Drug: Midazolam
  substrate which undergoes extensive metabolism by CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 and acts as a sensitive probe for evaluating drug interaction with respect to these isoenzymes

• Sequence 1
  In Sequence 1, Period 1, subjects will be dosed with a single administration of midazolam 2 mg oral solution on Day 1. Midazolam PK will then be assessed over the next 24 hours (hr). Period 1 will be immediately followed by Period 2 with no washout, in which subjects will be dosed with 200 mg PF-04965842 orally once daily (QD) for 7 days. Midazolam 2 mg oral solution will be administered on the morning of Day 2 and Day 7 within 5 minutes after PF-04965842 dosing. Midazolam PK will be assessed for 24 hr following dosing.
  Interventions:

  • Drug: PF-04965842
  • Drug: Midazolam
• Sequence 2
  In Sequence 2, Period 1, subjects will be dosed with 200 mg PF-04965842 orally QD for 7 days. Midazolam 2 mg oral solution will be administered on the morning of Day 2 and Day 7 within 5 minutes after PF-04965842 dosing. Midazolam PK will be assessed for 24 hr following dosing. Subjects will then undergo a washout period of at least 7 days. In Period 2 subjects will be dosed with a single administration of midazolam 2 mg oral solution on Day 1. Midazolam PK will then be assessed over the next 24 hr.
  Interventions:

  • Drug: PF-04965842
  • Drug: Midazolam
