Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The intervention for this study, paltusotine, is an orally bioavailable small molecule somatostatin receptor agonist that lowers growth hormone levels in acromegaly patients. Paltusotine will be supplied as 60 mg paltusotine tablets, test formulation, and 20 mg tablets, reference formulation.
The study will consist of 1 cohort in which participants will receive 1 dose of paltusotine (60 mg total), across 4 periods as follows:
Period 1: Participants to receive 1 dose of 3×20 mg tablet, reference formulation, after overnight fast with meal at 4 hours postdose.
Period 2: Participants to receive 1 dose of 1×60 mg tablet, test formulation, after overnight fast with meal at 4 hours postdose.
Period 3: Participants to receive 1 dose of 1×60 mg tablet, test formulation, after overnight fast with meal at 1 hour postdose.
Period 4: Participants to receive 1 dose of 1×60 mg tablet, test formulation, after overnight fast with meal at 4 hours postdose after pre-treatment with lansoprazole (orally disintegrating tablet, 15 mg twice daily) over 4 days. The final dose of lansoprazole will be taken at least 60 minutes prior to administration of the test formulation in Period 4.
A standard meal will be provided at least 4 hours after study drug administration for Periods 1, 2, and 4, and at least 1 hour after study drug administration for Period 3. The standard meal will provide a total of approximately 500 calories such that 36% of the calories (18 grams) are derived from fat, 14% from protein (16 grams) and 50% from carbohydrates (56 grams). An example test meal is 1 slice of toast (whole meal), 1 butter or margarine packet (as appropriate), 1 condiment packet (as appropriate), 1 cup of cereal/2 Weet-Bix with 250 mL milk, and 1 sugar sachet.
Participants will receive each dose with approximately 240 mL of water, after a 10 hour overnight fast. Participants will then fast for further 4 hours, or 1 hour for Period 3, after dosing. There will be 7 to 9 days between doses, except between Periods 3 and 4 there will be a 7-day washout. There will be up to 14 subjects enrolled in this study.
Dosing with Paltusotine for all periods will be administered by the study personnel at the research unit, and a mouth check will be conducted following dosing for each participant in all periods. Accountability records will be maintained by the study personnel to ensure compliance.
Randomization will not be applicable in this single sequence study. All participants will progress sequentially through Periods 1- 4 in the same order.

Summary
Brief summary
Paltusotine is an oral somatostain receptor 2 (sst2) agonist being developed for the treatment of acromegaly. This single cohort, 4 period study will evaluate the relative bioavailability of 60 mg paltusotine tablet, test formulation, compared to 60 mg paltusotine tablet, reference formulation, in healthy volunteers.
The study will consist of 1 cohort in which participants will receive 1 dose of paltusotine (60 mg total), across 4 periods as follows:
Period 1: Participants to receive 1 dose of 3×20 mg tablet, reference formulation, after overnight fast with meal at 4 hours postdose.
Period 2: Participants to receive 1 dose of 1×60 mg tablet, test formulation, after overnight fast with meal at 4 hours postdose.
Period 3: Participants to receive 1 dose of 1×60 mg tablet, test formulation, after overnight fast with meal at 1 hour postdose.
Period 4: Participants to receive 1 dose of 1×60 mg tablet, test formulation, after overnight fast with meal at 4 hours postdose after pre-treatment with lansoprazole (orally disintegrating tablet, 15 mg twice daily) over 4 days.
Participants will receive each dose with approximately 240 mL of water, after a 10 hour overnight fast. Participants will then fast for further 4 hours, or 1 hour for Period 3, after dosing. There will be 7 to 9 days between doses, except between Periods 3 and 4 there will be a 7-day washout. There will be up to 14 subjects enrolled in this study.
