Summary

This is a research study that will investigate the effects of antacids (often used to treat stomach upset) on Gleevec® (a drug that is FDA-approved to treat some types of cancer) in healthy volunteers. Twelve healthy volunteers (six men and six women) will be recruited to complete the study. This research study will compare Gleevec® in the body when taken with and without antacids. Each volunteer will receive a 400 mg pill of Gleevec® on two occasions. One one occasion they will take the dose of Gleevec® alone. On another occasion, they will take the Gleevec® 15 minutes after taking a 20 mL dose of antacids. Several blood samples will be drawn to measure the concentrations of Gleevec® and its breakdown products in the blood, with and without the influence of antacids.

Interventions

DRUG

Antacids (Mg-Al-based)

the antacid (Maximum Strength Maalox®Max® Antacid/Anti-gas) at a dose level of 20 mL (equivalent to 1600 mg aluminum hydroxide and 1600 mg magnesium hydroxide).

DRUG

Imatimib Mesylate (Gleevec®)

Gleevec® will be administered at a dose of 400 mg. Half of the subjects will receive Gleevec® and antacid on day 15 and Gleevec® alone on day 1. The other half will be treated in reverse order, i.e., they will receive the combination of Gleevec® and antacid on day 1, and Gleevec® alone on day 15. The antacids will be administered 15 minutes before the Gleevec® dose.
