APX001-107

This is a Phase 1, open-label study to evaluate the drug-drug interaction potential of a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor (itraconazole) and a pan-CYP inducer (rifampin) on APX001 in two parallel groups of healthy subjects.

Donation or loss of more than 1.5 liters of blood (for male subjects) or more than 1.0 liter of blood (for female subjects) in the 10 months prior to the first study drug administration in the current study. * Positive results on any of the following screening laboratory tests: serum pregnancy test, urine alcohol test, urine drugs-of-abuse (including cotinine), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody. * Prior exposure to APX001 * Known allergy to corn or corn products or any inactive components of the study drug * Known hypersensitivity to culprit drugs (itraconazole or rifampin). Additional Exclusion Criteria for Cohort 2: * Diagnosis or suspected of having porphyria or having first-degree relatives diagnosed or suspected of having porphyria. * Unwilling not to use contact lenses for the duration of rifampin dosing (Day 15 to Day 33 for Cohort 2) until 7 days after the last dose of rifampin (subjects in Cohort 2 may resume wearing contact lenses on Day 40).
