Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cohort 1

Group Type OTHER

Dimebon IR

Intervention Type DRUG

A single, oral 10 mg dose of dimebon dihydrochloride (equivalent to 8.2 mg free base) immediate release will be administered.

Dimebon Transdermal

Intervention Type DRUG

A single, transdermal 5 mg dose of dimebon free base solution will be applied to the back over a 24 hour period. A double-blinded vehicle (placebo) solution will be applied concurrently to a contralateral body site.

Dimebon Transdermal

Intervention Type DRUG

A single, to be determined dose of dimebon free base solution will be applied to the back over a 24 hour period. The dose level chosen will be determined based on the pharmacokinetic/safety profile of the 5 mg dose. A double-blinded vehicle (placebo) solution will be applied concurrently to a contralateral body site.

Cohort 2

Group Type OTHER

Dimebon IR

Intervention Type DRUG

A single, oral 10 mg dose of dimebon dihydrochloride (equivalent to 8.2 mg free base) immediate release will be administered.

Dimebon Transdermal

Intervention Type DRUG

A single, to be determined dose of dimebon free base solution will be applied to the back over a 24 hour period. The dose level chosen will be determined based on the pharmacokinetic/safety profile of the 5 mg dose in Cohort 1. A double-blinded vehicle (placebo) solution will be applied concurrently to a contralateral body site.
