The Pharmacokinetic Interaction Between Pravastatin and Cyclosporine in Healthy Volunteers

NCT01497483 Phase 1 COMPLETED

This study will address the following question: Does cyclosporine affect the pharmacokinetics of pravastatin in healthy volunteers? Studies have shown that cyclosporine inhibits the organic anion transporter required for pravastatin transport into the liver, thus increasing pravastatin levels in the blood. The investigators hypothesize that this inhibition will vary among people based on genetic differences. This knowledge is important to help develop safer and more effective drug therapy with reduced side effects.
