Effects of Gastric pH on the Pharmacokinetics of Dasatinib

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Healthy

In brief

The goal of this study is to evaluate the ability of a natural supplement (betaine hydrochloride) to affect the absorption of dasatinib in healthy volunteers. The investigators predict that betaine hydrochloride will increase the absorption of dasatinib, in volunteers pre-treated with proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs).
