Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Twenty (20) healthy male and female adult volunteers aged 18 to 65 years of age (inclusive) at the time of screening will be enrolled.

This study is to characterize the drug-drug interaction (DDI) potential of bomedemstat (also called IMG-7289) as a victim of CYP3A4 and P-gp inhibitors.

Investigational Product: bomedemstat (IMG-7289) 50 mg (free base; 2 x 25 mg strength capsules)
CYP3A4 and P-gp Inhibitor: diltiazem extended-release (XR) 240 mg capsule

For all participants:
• On Day 1, participants will receive a single oral capsule dose of bomedemstat 50 mg.
• On Day 5, participants will receive an oral capsule dose of diltiazem XR 240 mg.
• On Day 6, participants will receive an oral dose of diltiazem XR 240 mg coadministered with bomedemstat 50 mg.
• On Days 7 to 13, inclusive, participants will receive an oral dose of diltiazem XR 240 mg once daily.

The total maximum study duration for participants in this study is 73 days (approximately 10.5 weeks, including up to 28 days of screening and up to 45 days of clinical conduct, inclusive of visit windows).

For each participant enrolled in this study, there will be a domiciling period from Day -1 to Day 14.

Study drug adherence will be monitored by clinical facility staff who administer the study drug to participants. Administration of study drugs will be recorded in the appropriate drug accountability records and the eCRF. Administration of study drug will be verified by a second staff member.

NOTE: Laboratory results obtained during screening and prior to first dose administration on Day 1 should be used to determine eligibility criteria. In situations where laboratory results, vitals or ECGs are outside the permitted range, the Investigator may retest the participant once and the subsequent within range screening result may be used to determine the participant’s eligibility.
