Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is designed to understand the relative bioavailability (proportion of the administered dose that is absorbed into the bloodstream) of several fixed dose combinations (FDCs) tablets of ambrisentan and tadalafil for further development and to provide pharmacokinetic (PK - what the body does to the drug) data to enable a pivotal bioequivalence (BE - the relationship between two preparations of the same drug in the same dosage form that have a similar bioavailability) study. Depending on formulation work, the study will allow up to 8 new FDCs to be compared with the reference of ambrisentan and tadalafil monotherapies. The study will also evaluate up to 2 of the new formulations, that may be taken in to a BE study, to be tested for any effect on pharmacokinetics of the FDC in both fed and fasted state. This is a single centre, Phase 1, single dose, randomised, open label crossover study with 3 study parts; each study part will have up to a 5 way crossover in healthy subjects. Part 1 of the study will evaluate four formulations of the FDC (ambrisentan 10 milligram \[mg\] + tadalafil 40 mg) and the reference of the 2 monotherapy components taken concurrently (ambrisentan 10 mg and tadalafil 40 mg) in the fasted stated. If successful formulations are identified in this part of the study, then they will be re-formulated and tested in part 2. If no successful formulations are identified in part 1 of the study, then part 2 will be utilized to look at up to 4 new FDC formulations. However, if only two formulations, or less, are evaluated in part 2 then the FDC formulations may be tested both fed and fasted to assess food effect and part 3 will not be required. If successful formulations are identified in this study part, then up to 2 of these may be tested, for food effect, in Part 3 if not already assessed in this part. Therefore, part 3 is optional and utility is dependent on the results of the previous study parts.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Part 1

Enrolled subjects will receive single oral dose of 4 FDCs i.e., FDC1, FDC2, FDC3 and FDC4, and reference formulations of the 2 monotherapy components taken concurrently in the fasted state. The FDC and reference formulations contains 10 mg ambrisentan and 40 mg tadalafil. Each dosing period will be separated by 7 days wash out period.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

FDC (ambrisentan 10 mg-tadalafil 40 mg) single dose

Intervention Type DRUG

The four FDCs in part 1 will have the following formulation designation: FDC1, FDC2, FDC3 and FDC4. They are film-coated tablets. The dose will be administered orally. Study treatment for Part2 and Part 3 will be amended after Part 1 study

Reference (ambrisentan 10 mg + tadalafil 40 mg given concurrently)

Intervention Type DRUG

Ambrisentan is a film-coated tablet. Each tablet of ambrisentan contains 10 mg of ambrisentan, approximately 95 mg of lactose (as monohydrate), 0.25 mg of lecithin and 0.11 mg of Allura red AC Aluminium Lake. Tadalafil is also a film-coated tablet. Each tablet of Tadalafil contains 20 mg tadalafil and 233 mg lactose. Both the tablets will be administered orally concurrently.

Part 2

Enrolled subjects will receive single oral dose of 4 FDCs i.e., FDC5, FDC6, FDC7 and FDC8, and reference formulations of the 2 monotherapy components taken concurrently in the fasted state. The FDCs and reference formulations contains 10 mg ambrisentan and 40mg Tadalafil. OR Subjects will receive single dose of two FDCs from Part 1 in fed and fasted state. Each dosing period will be separated by 7 days wash out period.
