Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The proposed study is an open label, single sequence, dosing study in 18 healthy male and female subjects, to obtain 15 evaluable subjects.
Subjects will be screened to determine eligibility within 14 days prior to dosing. Subjects will be admitted to the clinical unit on Day -1 for baseline assessments. On Day 1, subjects will receive an oral solution of midazolam 3mg. On Days 3, 4 and 5, subjects will receive an oral suspension of DUR-928 50 mg daily. On Day 6, subjects will receive an oral solution of midazolam 3mg as well as an oral suspension of DUR-928 50mg. On Day 8 subjects will receive DUR-928 (150 mg) as intravenous infusion over 2 hours immediately followed by an oral solution of midazolam 3 mg.
All study treatments will be administered after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours. Subjects will continue to fast for 4 hours after the study drug administration. During fasting no fluids will be allowed except water; however water will not be allowed from 1 hour before dosing to 1 hour after dosing (except for 240 mL of water required to swallow DUR-928 or midazolam). Subjects will be confined in the study unit from Day -1 through Day 9 procedures and return to the clinic on Day 14 for trial completion procedures.
DUR-928 oral dose: 50 mg of DUR-928 drug substance powder in a 60 cc wide mouth, amber glass bottle with a child-resistant screw cap. At the time of administration, 60 mL of a commercially available flavored, sugar-free, vehicle (ORA-Blend SF) is added to the bottle of DUR-928 powder to suspend the drug substance, and the entire bottle content is orally dosed, followed by two rinses with water.
Study staff will administer all doses.

Timepoint [1] 333800 0
The following PK parameters will be assessed - Cmax, Tmax, Terminal elimination rate constant, AUC0-last, AUCinf, %AUCexp, T1/2, Vz, CL.
Blood samples will be collected for analysis of plasma concentrations of DUR-928 and 25 hydroxycholesterol (25-HC) up to 26 hours after study drug administration. Day 3, Day 5 and Day 6: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours post-dose.
Secondary outcome [2] 333801 0
To evaluate the safety of DUR-928 and midazolam in healthy subjects.
Timepoint [2] 333801 0
Common adverse reactions observed with oral doses of midazolam include: slowed or impaired breathing, decreased blood pressure, fast or slow heart rate, drowsiness, lightheadedness, nausea and vomiting, and impaired motor skills. Subjects will be monitored closely by frequent assessments of vital signs and adverse events.
Routine vital sign measurements (blood pressure [BP], heart rate [HR] and respiratory rate [RR]) will be measured at screening, Day -1, pre-dose, and 0.25 (RR only), 0.5, 0.75 (RR only),1, 1.25 (RR only), 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, and 24 hours post-dose of each study treatment, and at trial completion (Day 14).
Continuous pulse oximetry will be obtained with an alarmed monitor maintained for 4 hours from start of Midazolam dosing on Days 1, 6 and 8. Readings will be recorded at pre-dose (immediately prior to administration of midazolam), 15 and 30 min, 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing.
Physical examination will be performed at screening, Day -1, and at trial completion (Day 14). The physical exam done on Day -1 will be abbreviated.
Safety Laboratory tests (Chemistry, Hematology, Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), and Urinalysis) will be drawn at screening, Day 1, pre-dose and 24 hours post-dose of each study treatment, and at trial completion (Day 14).
All adverse events will be collected from Day -1 and continues through to trial completion (Day 14).
Twelve-lead ECGs will be obtained from subjects at screening, Day -1, pre-dose, and at approximately 1 and 24 hours post-dose on Days 1,3,4,5,6, and pre-dose and 2, 3 and 26 hours post-dose at Day 8. Additional ECGs may be obtained if clinically indicated.

This is an open label, single sequence, dosing study in 18 healthy male and female subjects. Subjects will complete a Screening Phase, Treatment, and an End of Study Visit. The Screening phase will be conducted on an outpatient basis within 14 days prior to the start of dosing. Subjects will be confined in-house for 9 nights during study Treatment from Day -1 through 26 hours post-dose of Day 8. They will be discharged from the clinic and will return, for the End of Study Visit, at Day 14.

Type of endpoint/s
Pharmacokinetics
Statistical methods / analysis
Comparison of AUC and Cmax of between treatments will be done using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) on the ratios of the least squares means (LSM) using linear mixed effects modeling to yield point estimates (geometric means) with 90% confidence intervals (CI).
18 subjects will be enrolled to achieve 15 evaluable subjects. A sample size of 15 subjects will provide greater than 80% power for the 90% confidence interval of the geometric mean ratio to fall within the specified no-effect boundary of 0.8 and 1.25.

Summary
Brief summary
This research project is being conducted to look at the pharmacokinetics of both DUR-928 and Midazolam; this is done by measuring the amount of DUR-928 and Midazolam in the blood at different times throughout the dosing periods. Data from this study will allow us to evaluate how DUR-928 is handled by the body (for example how quickly it gets into the blood stream) and it will allow us to determine the impact of DUR-928 on how Midazolam is handled by the body.
