Study to Evaluate the Effect of Food and a Proton Pump Inhibitor on the Pharmacokinetics of VRN101099 in Healthy Adult Participants

April 19, 2026 updated by: Voronoi, Inc

A Phase 1, Open-label, Randomized, 3-Period, 2-Sequence, Crossover Study to Evaluate the Effect of Food and a Proton Pump Inhibitor on the Pharmacokinetics of VRN101099 in Healthy Adult Participants

This Clinical trial is being done to understand how food and a common stomach-acid reducing medicine (called a proton pump inhibitor-PPI) affect how the body absorbs a new drug, VRN101099, in healthy adults.

Researchers will measure how much of the drug gets into the bloodstream and how fast it gets there in each situation.

This will help identify the most effective way for future patients to use VRN101099 in the treatment of solid tumors and cancers.

The main questions it aims to answer is:

  1. Does food or a PPI change how the body absorbs a single dose of VRN101099?
  2. Is a single dose of VRN101099 safe and well tolerated when taken with or without food or a PPI?
  3. How is VRN101099 removed through urine when taken with or without food or a PPI?

Detailed Description

This is a single-centre, 3-period, 2-sequence, open-label, randomized, crossover study to evaluate the effect of food and a PPI on the PK of a 160 mg oral dose of VRN101099 in healthy adult participants. The study will consist of approximately 24 participants, who will be enrolled and then randomized 1:1 into 2 cohorts (sequences).

This is a 3-period, 2-sequence, crossover study, which means every participant will receive VRN101099 three times-once in each condition, but in different orders depending on their assigned sequence.

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two sequences:

Sequence 1: Fasted → Fed → Fed + PPI Sequence 2: Fed → Fasted → Fasted + PPI

All participants will take the same dose of VRN101099, but under different conditions:

  • once after eating a meal,
  • once while taking a PPI,
  • and once on an empty stomach.

Each dose of VRN101099 will be 160 mg and taken once per period. There will be at least 7 days of washout between doses.

Blood samples may be taken up to 240 hours (10 days) after each dose to measure drug levels

Urine samples will be collected for 24 hours after each dose

Participants will be monitored for side effects and general safety throughout the study.

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Male or female aged between 18 and 65 years of age (inclusive at the time of informed consent).
  2. In good general health, with no significant medical history, and have no clinically significant abnormalities on physical examination at Screening and/or before the first administration of IP (at the discretion of the PI or designee).
  3. BMI between ≥ 18.0 and ≤ 32.0 kg/m2 and weight ≥ 50 kg at Screening.
  4. Clinical laboratory values within normal range as specified by the testing laboratory, unless deemed not clinically significant by the PI or designee. Note: Repeat testing at Screening is acceptable for out-of-range values at the discretion of the Investigator.
  5. Female participants must be either not of childbearing potential or if they are a woman of childbearing potential and are engaged in heterosexual intercourse, they must agree to use an acceptable, highly effective contraception method in conjunction with a condom for the male partner from Screening until 100 days after the last dose of IP (ie, 90 days plus 5 half-lives of the IP).
  6. Male participants must not be of childbearing potential, or if they are engaged in sexual relations with WOCBP, they must agree to use a condom in conjunction with an acceptable, highly effective contraception method for the female partner from Screening until 100 days after the last dose of the IP.
  7. Males must not donate sperm and females must not donate ova from the first dose of IP until at least 100 days after the last dose of IP (ie, 90 days plus 5 half-lives of the IP).
  8. Able and willing to attend the necessary visits to the CRU.

Exclusion Criteria:

This includes but may not be limited to: medical histories (eg, hepatic/biliary, renal, cardiovascular, endocrine, respiratory, digestive, haematologic, oncologic [except for non-melanoma skin cancer, excised more than 2 years ago and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia that has been successfully cured more than 5 years prior to the first administration of IP], central nervous system, psychiatric, musculoskeletal) or past medical/surgical histories that may affect drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion (excluding simple appendectomy or herniorrhaphy).
  2. Participants with known or suspected conditions or significant gastrointestinal disorders that may interfere with drug absorption (eg, inflammatory bowel disease, chronic diarhoea, malabsorption syndromes, or prior gastrointestinal surgery affecting absorption).
  3. History of severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions, or sensitivity to the IP or its constituents.
  4. History of hypersensitivity and/or intolerance to PPIs.
