This is a drug-drug interaction study to evaluate the effects of steady-state exposure of E5555 and its main metabolites on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of metformin, an organic cation transporter-2 (OCT2) substrate. In addition, the study will also investigate the effects of E5555 on several renal function parameters.
