Brief Summary

This will be an open-label, three-period, fixed-sequence study to evaluate the drug-drug interaction, pharmacokinetics and safety of dutasteride and tamsulosin when administered alone and in-combination in Chinese healthy male volunteers.

Detailed Description

This will be an open-label, three-period, fixed-sequence study to evaluate the drug-drug interaction, pharmacokinetics and safety of dutasteride and tamsulosin when administered alone and in-combination in Chinese healthy male volunteers. The study will last approximately eleven weeks. Blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis will be taken at pre-specified times. Safety will be assessed by measurement of concurrent medication,changes in clinical laboratory values, ECG, vital signs, and collection of adverse events.Approximately 24 healthy adult males will be enrolled such that approximately 18 subjects complete dosing and critical assessments.This will be an open label, single sequence, three-period study. Approximately 24 healthy male volunteers will be enrolled. At the first study period, the subjects will receive 0.5mg of dutasteride (Dut) as a single dose (SD) under fed conditions. Serum sampling will take place pre-dose and over the next 72 hours post dose (Per. A). After a 28-30 days washout, the subjects will be brought in and be given 0.2mg tamsulosin as Harnal D tablet for 7 days with the morning meal. Serum sampling for pharmacokinetics of tamsulosin will take place at day 1, day 2 and day 3 pre-dose and at days 4 for 24 hours (Per. B). On the next day (Day 5), the subjects will be given both 0.2mg tamsulosin Harnal D tablet and 0.5mg of dutasteride. Serum sampling will take place at Day 5 pre-dose and followed for 72 hours (Per. C) for both dutasteride and tamsulosin. Subjects will participate in a follow-up visit approximately 2 weeks after the last dose of study drug.

[QTc] < 450 Milliseconds (msec); or QTc < 480 msec in subjects with Bundle Branch Block.

• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin ≤ 1.5xULN (isolated bilirubin >1.5xULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin <35%).
• Subjects must be able and willing to stop using of any tobacco or nicotine containing products 24 hours prior to each dose and for the duration of confinement. At the discretion of the Investigator, light smokers (smoking ≤10 cigarettes a day) would be considered for the study inclusion.
• Willing and able of giving written informed consent, which includes compliance with the all the requirements and restrictions listed in the consent form for the full duration of the study, and able to understand and follow instructions related to study procedures.
• Able to swallow and retain oral medication.
• Male subjects with female partners of child-bearing potential must agree to use one of the contraception methods.This criterion must be followed from the time of the first dose of study medication until 50 days after the last dose.

Exclusion Criteria

• The subject has received an investigational product or participated in any other research trial within 6 months or 5 half-lives, or twice the duration of the biological effect of any drug (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of current study medication or anytime during the study period, or exposure to more than four new chemical entities within 12 months prior to the first dosing day.
• Previous use of the following medications or involvement in an investigational drug study of any of these in the previous three months prior to screening:

finasteride, (PROSCAR, PROPECIA) investigational 5 ARIs (i.e., GI198745 and epristeride) phytotherapy (i.e., over the counter plant extracts for BPH and alopecia) anabolic steroids (i.e., oxandrolone, testosterone ester) drugs with anti-androgenic properties (i.e., spironolactone, cimetidine) alpha-1 antagonists (i.e., terazosin, doxazosin, alfuzosin and tamsulosin) antihypertensive agents or diuretics
