A Study to Determine the Bioavailability of Vonoprazan Sprinkle Capsules on Pudding or on Applesauce Relative to a Vonoprazan Tablet in Healthy Participants

A Phase 1, Open-label, Randomized, Single-dose, Crossover Study to Determine the Bioavailability of Vonoprazan Sprinkle Capsules on Pudding or on Applesauce Relative to a Vonoprazan Tablet in Healthy Participants

The primary objective of this study is to assess the bioavailability (BA) of a single oral dose of vonoprazan 20 mg sprinkle capsule, either sprinkled on pudding or on applesauce, relative to a vonoprazan 20 mg tablet in healthy participants.

• The participant has consumed grapefruit and/or grapefruit juice, Seville orange or Seville orange-containing products (eg, marmalade), or other food products that may be CYP3A4 inhibitors (eg, vegetables from the mustard green family [kale, broccoli, watercress, collard greens, kohlrabi, Brussels sprouts, mustard] and charbroiled meats) within 7 days (or 5 half-lives) before the first dose of study drug and/or is expected to be unable to abstain through the study.
• The participant has consumed caffeine- or xanthine-containing products within 48 hours (or 5 half-lives) before the first dose of study drug and/or is unable to abstain through the study.
• The participant is a smoker and/or has used nicotine or nicotine-containing products (eg, snuff, nicotine patch, nicotine chewing gum, mock cigarettes, or inhalers) within 6 months before the first dose of study drug.
• The participant has a history of alcohol abuse and/or drug addiction within the last year or excessive alcohol consumption (regular alcohol intake >21 units per week for male participants and >14 units of alcohol per week for female participants; 1 unit is equal to approximately 1/2 pint [200 mL] of beer, 1 small glass [100 mL] of wine, or 1 measure [25 mL] of spirits) or use of alcohol 48 hours before the first dose of study drug.
• The participant has a positive test result for drugs of abuse, alcohol, or cotinine (indicating active current smoking) at Screening or Check-in.
• The participant is involved in strenuous activity or contact sports within 24 hours before the first dose of study drug and during the study.
• The participant has donated blood or blood products >450 mL within 30 days before the first dose of study drug.
• The participant has a history of relevant drug and/or food allergies (i.e., allergy to vonoprazan or excipients or any significant food allergy that could preclude a standard diet in the clinical unit).
• The participant has received a study drug in another investigational study within 30 days of dosing.
• Female participants who are pregnant or lactating; intend to become pregnant before, during, or within 4 weeks after participating in this study; or intend to donate ova during this time period.
• The participant is not suitable for entry into the study in the opinion of the investigator.
