Evaluation of the Pharmacokinetics of NRL972 Following Pre-Administration of Rifampicin and Cyclosporine

A Single-Centre, Open, Controlled, Randomised Cross-Over Study in Healthy Male and Female Volunteers to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of Cholyl-Lysyl-Fluorescein (NRL972) in the Presence of Medication-Induced Changes in Cytochrome P450 or Biliary Transporter Proteins. Part A: Interaction With Rifampicin and Cyclosporine

A study in healthy volunteers to determine whether different drugs metabolised by the liver have any effects on how NRL972 is processed within the body.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Time Frame
Total clearance by non-compartmental analysis. Apparent terminal disposition half-life t½ by non-compartmental analysis	Up to 6 hours post dose

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Time Frame
