Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a Phase 1, open-label, 3-part study to evaluate the drug-drug interaction of itraconazole with JNT-517 as the victim and the interaction of JNT-517 as the perpetrator with midazolam and pravastatin, respectively. The 3 parts of the study may be conducted in parallel and no particular order.

Part A - Itraconazole interaction:
Day 4 to Day 9 - Twice a day 150 mg oral dose of itraconazole tablets will be administered. Day 10 - Single 200 mg oral dose of itraconazole capsules will be administered.
Day 1, Day 4 and Day 10 - Single 150 mg oral dose of JNT-517 tablets will be administered.

Part B - Midazolam interaction:
Day 1 and Day 16 - Single 2 mg oral dose of midazolam solution will be administered.
Day 3 to Day 15 - Twice a day 150 mg oral dose of JNT-517 tablets will be administered. Day 16 - Single 150 mg oral dose of JNT-517 tablets will be administered.

Part C - Pravastatin interaction:
Day 1 - Single oral dose of pravastatin 40 mg tablet will be administered. Day 5 - Single oral dose of pravastatin 40 mg tablet will be administered.
Day 4 - Single 150 mg oral dose of JNT-517 tablets will be administered, Day 5 - Twice a day 150 mg oral dose of JNT-517 tablets will be administered.

Part A will begin with a sentinel group of 2 participants who will receive JNT-517 alone on Day 1 and in combination with Itraconazole on Day 4 before the rest of the participants are dosed with the study medications. In the absence of any safety findings in the sentinel group within 48 hours after the combination dosing of JNT-517 and itraconazole on Day 4, the rest of the cohort of participants may begin dosing with JNT-517. Dosing in Parts B and C may commence anytime after the 2 sentinel participants in Part A.

Healthy volunteers will stay in the clinical research unit for the entire duration of dosing and will take study drug under direct supervision of the clinical research unit staff. This ensures compliance to study drug intake by participants.

Summary
Brief summary
This study is designed as a 3-part study in healthy participants to test the drug-to –drug interaction of experimental drug, JNT-517 with itraconazole, midazolam and pravastatin, respectively.

JNT-517 is believed to reduce levels of phenylalanine in the by increasing its removal with urine and reducing uptake of phenylalanine in the gut.
