This research study is examining multiple doses of voxelotor (a study drug intended for treatment of sickle cell disease) and how it interacts with additional substrates (substrates are drugs or other substances that are metabolized by cytochrome enzymes. The substrates used in this study are FDA approved medications). The study will help to determine the safety and tolerability of the study drugs taken together, as well as the pharmacokinetics (PK) on how your body processes and responds to the combination of the study drug and substrates. Although these drugs are FDA approved, their use in this study is experimental.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of multiple doses of ganaplacide and lumefantrine combination on the substrates of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 (midazolam), CYP2C8 (repaglinide), CYP2D6 (dextromethorphan), organic cation transporter (OCT) 1, multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE) 1 (metformin) in Cohort 1 and a substrate of the organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1, OATP1B3 and Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) transporter (rosuvastatin) and an antiretroviral drug (dolutegravir) in Cohort 2.
Results from this study will provide guidance on prescribing ganaplacide and lumefantrine combination when co-administered with substrates of the CYP enzymes (CYP3A4, CYP2C8 and CYP2D6) and transporters (OCT1, MATE1, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and BCRP), and dolutegravir.

This study will assess the potential for clinical drug-drug interactions between omaveloxolone and a number of substrates and inhibitors of metabolic enzymes and drug transporters.
