---|---|
Experimental: Group A: abiraterone + prednisone + dextromethorphan
Group A will assess the effect of multiple doses of abiraterone acetate plus prednisone on CYP2D6 using 2 single doses of dextromethorphan hydrobromide as a probe drug.
|
Drug: Abiraterone acetate
Abiraterone acetate 1000 mg tablets administered orally once daily beginning on Cycle 1 Day 1 up to the time of disease progression Drug: Prednisone Prednisone 5mg tablets administered orally twice daily beginning on Cycle 1 Day 1 up to the time of disease progression Drug: Dextromethorphan hydrobromide Dextromethorphan hydrobromide 30 mg capsules administered orally on Cycle 1 Day -8 and Cycle 1 Day 8 under fasting conditions |
Experimental: Group B: abiraterone + prednisone + theophylline
Group B will assess the effect of multiple doses of abiraterone acetate plus prednisone on CYP1A2 using 2 single doses of theophylline as a probe drug.

Drug: Abiraterone acetate
Abiraterone acetate 1000 mg tablets administered orally once daily beginning on Cycle 1 Day 1 up to the time of disease progression Drug: Prednisone Prednisone 5mg tablets administered orally twice daily beginning on Cycle 1 Day 1 up to the time of disease progression Drug: Theophylline Theophylline 100 mg tablets administered orally on Cycle 1 Day -8 and Cycle 1 Day 8 under fasting conditions |
- Ratio of the mean area under the concentration curve (AUC) of dextromethorphan, dextrorphan, and parent/metabolite, with and without co-administration of abiraterone acetate and prednisone [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 Day -8 and Day 8 ]
- Ratio of the mean maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of dextromethorphan, dextrorphan, and parent/metabolite, with and without co-administration of abiraterone acetate and prednisone [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 Day -8 and Day 8 ]
- Ratio of the mean area under the concentration curve (AUC) of theophylline with and without co-administration of abiraterone acetate and prednisone [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 Day -8 and Day 8 ]
- Ratio of the mean maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of theophylline with and without co-administration of abiraterone acetate and prednisone [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 Day -8 and Day 8 ]
- Number of participants reporting adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug ]
