Effect of Antacids on Gleevec® in Healthy Volunteers
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.
