Effect of Copanlisib on Metformin Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics

An Open-label, Non-randomized, Phase I Study to Evaluate the Effect of Copanlisib (a Single Intravenous Dose of 60 mg) on the Pharmacokinetics (PK) and Pharmacodynamics (PD) of Metformin (MATE2-K Substrate) in Healthy Volunteers

The purpose of this study is to learn about a drug-drug interaction. When two medications are taken together at the same time, one medication may change the activity of the other medication in the body - this is called a drug-drug interaction. This study is looking at the effect the Bayer study drug, copanlisib, has on metformin, a commonly used medication to treat diabetes. During the study, blood and urine samples will be collected and analyzed to learn about pharmacokinetics (how copanlisib changes metformin levels in the body) and pharmacodynamics (the effect metformin has on the body when taken together with copanlisib) when someone takes both copanlisib and metformin together.

Intervention / Treatment

EXPERIMENTAL: Copanlisib (Aliqopa, BAY80-6946); All subjects will receive a single dose of metformin 1000 mg on Days 1 and 8 in a fasting state. Subjects will also receive a single i.v. dose of 60 mg copanlisib on Day 8 as part of the combination with metformin.

Drug: Copanlisib (Aliqopa, BAY80-6946); The copanlisib dose for this study is the standard dose recently approved and also used in Phase 1, 2 and 3 studies across the copanlisib development program: 60 mg i.v. infusion administered intermittently on Days 1, 8 and 15 of a 28-day cycle. In this study subjects will receive a single i.v. dose of 60 mg copanlisib on day 8.; Drug: Metformin; Single dose of 1000 mg is administered orally.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Maximum Drug Concentration of Metformin in Plasma After Single Dose Administration (Cmax)	Maximum observed drug concentration of metformin in plasma after single dose administration without copanlisib (Day 1) and in combination with copanlisib (Day 8) were measured.	Pre-dose and up to 24 hours after drug administration on Day 1 and Day 8
Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve From Zero to 24 Hours of Metformin After Single Dose Administration (AUC[0-24])	Area under the concentration versus time curve from zero to 24 hours of metformin after single dose administration without copanlisib (Day 1) and in combination with copanlisib (Day 8) were measured.	Pre-dose and up to 24 hours after drug administration on Day 1 and Day 8
Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve From Zero to Infinity of Metformin After Single Dose Administration (AUC)	Area under the concentration verus time curve from zero to infinity of metformin after single dose without copanlisib (Day 1) and in combination with copanlisib (Day 8) were measured.	Pre-dose and extrapolated up to infinity after drug administration on Day 1 and Day 8

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events	An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a subject who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were defined as adverse events that started or worsened after the start of study drug administration up to 30 days after last administration of the study medication.	From start of study medication until 30 days after end of treatment with study medication.
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events by Severity	An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a subject who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were defined as adverse events that started or worsened after the start of study drug administration up to 30 days after last administration of the study medication. TEAEs per severity were reported.	From start of study medication until 30 days after end of treatment with study medication.
Plasma Lactate Levels	Lactate levels were analyzed in plasma samples collected during metformin alone or in combination with copanlisib. Plasma lactate levels were summarized by treatment conditions (Day 1 and Day 8).	Up to 24 hours after study drug administration on Day 1 and Day 8
Maximum Change From Baseline in Plasma Lactate Levels	Lactate levels were analyzed in plasma samples collected during metformin alone or in combination with copanlisib. Maximum change from baseline on Day 1 and Day 8 was summarized.	From pre-dose up to 24 hours after study drug administration on Day 1 and Day 8
