Participant Flow

This was a crossover study.18 subjects were included and washout of 10 to 25 days separated each treatment period. Overall 17 subjects completed the trial.1 subject withdrew consent after completion of the first period (cladribine alone) and was excluded from Pharmacokinetic population.18 subjects were included in safety population.

Measure
Cladribine Followed by Cladribine + Pantoprazole
Subjects received a single 10 milligram (mg) cladribine dose orally on Day 1 followed by a wash out period of 10-25 days. Subjects then received pantoprazole 40 mg orally for 2 consecutive days. A single 10 mg cladribine dose was administered orally after 3 hours of fasting post pantoprazole dose on second day. After administration of cladribine, subjects were required to fast for an additional 2 hours.
Cladribine + Pantoprazole Followed by Cladribine
Subjects received pantoprazole 40 mg orally for 2 consecutive days. A single 10 mg cladribine dose was administered orally after 3 hours of fasting post the pantoprazole dose on second day. After a wash out period of 10-25 days, subjects received a single 10 mg cladribine dose orally.

Population: Safety analysis set included all the randomized subjects who received treatment with at least one dose of either cladribine or pantoprazole during the study period.

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a subject who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to 1 year, that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre treatment state. AEs Leading to Death and AEs Leading to Discontinuation were also presented in the outcome measure.

Volume of distribution is defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired plasma concentration of a drug. Apparent volume of distribution after oral dose (Vz/F) is influenced by the fraction absorbed.
