About this trial
This is a single-center, non-randomized, open-label, single-sequence, self-controlled drug-drug interaction study in healthy participants.
The main purpose of the study is to evaluate whether a single dose and repeated daily doses of NTQ5082 capsules affect the pharmacokinetics of midazolam oral solution. Midazolam is used in this study as a probe drug to assess the activity of cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A), an enzyme involved in the metabolism of many medicines.
Approximately 18 healthy male and female participants will be enrolled. Participants will receive a single oral dose of midazolam 2 mg on Days 1, 4, and 11. NTQ5082 200 mg will be administered orally once daily from Day 4 through Day 12. Blood samples will be collected to measure the concentrations of midazolam and its metabolite, 1'-hydroxymidazolam, and to calculate pharmacokinetic parameters.
The safety and tolerability of midazolam administered alone and together with NTQ5082 will also be evaluated through adverse event monitoring, laboratory tests, vital signs, physical examinations, and electrocardiograms. The study includes a screening and protocol-required vaccination period, an inpatient treatment period, and a safety follow-up telephone call within 7 days after discharge.

Treatments tested in this trial
NTQ5082
DrugNTQ5082 will be administered orally at a dose of 200 mg, provided as two 100-mg capsules, once daily from Day 4 through Day 12 under fasting conditions. On Days 4 and 11, NTQ5082 will be coadministered with a single 2-mg dose of midazolam oral solution. On Days 5 through 10 and Day 12, NTQ5082 will be administered alone. The capsules must be swallowed whole with approximately 240 mL of water.
Midazolam
DrugA single oral dose of midazolam 2 mg, administered as 1 mL of oral solution, will be given under fasting conditions on Days 1, 4, and 11. Midazolam will be administered alone on Day 1, coadministered with the first dose of NTQ5082 on Day 4, and coadministered with NTQ5082 following repeated NTQ5082 dosing on Day 11. Approximately 240 mL of water, including water used to rinse the dosing container, will be used for administration.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Midazolam
The maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of midazolam will be determined from the plasma concentration-time data following a single oral dose of midazolam 2 mg administered alone on Day 1, coadministered with the first dose of NTQ5082 200 mg on Day 4, and coadministered with NTQ5082 200 mg after repeated NTQ5082 dosing on Day 11.
Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC0-t) of Midazolam
The area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the last quantifiable concentration (AUC0-t) of midazolam will be calculated after midazolam administration alone on Day 1, with the first dose of NTQ5082 on Day 4, and after repeated NTQ5082 dosing on Day 11.
Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity (AUC0-inf) of Midazolam
The area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-inf) of midazolam will be calculated after midazolam administration alone on Day 1, with the first dose of NTQ5082 on Day 4, and after repeated NTQ5082 dosing on Day 11.
Secondary outcomes
Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Midazolam
The time to reach the maximum observed plasma concentration of midazolam will be determined following midazolam administration on Days 1, 4, and 11.
Terminal Elimination Half-Life (t1/2z) of Midazolam
The terminal elimination half-life of midazolam will be estimated using the terminal log-linear phase of the plasma concentration-time profile.
Apparent Oral Clearance (CLz/F) of Midazolam
The apparent oral clearance of midazolam will be calculated following midazolam administration alone and during coadministration with NTQ5082.
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
Safety will be assessed based on treatment-emergent adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, physical examinations, and electrocardiograms. Adverse events will be assessed for severity, seriousness, outcome, and relationship to the study intervention.
