NCT ID: NCT01068743

Last Updated: 2015-05-08

Results Overview

PK is the process by which a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated by the body. AUC (0-inf) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero extrapolated to infinite time.

Participant Flow

Participants (N = 24) who met all of the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria were recruited from a single site in the United States.

Participants were screened for eligibility within 21 days before Day 1 of period 1. On Day -1 of each period, the participants were admitted to the clinical facility and confined for 4 days. All the 24 participants were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatment sequences (ADBC, BACD, CBDA, or DCAB). The washout between each dose was at least 7 days.

Population: All participants who received at least one dose of study medication.

AE=any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a subject administered an investigational product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. SAE=any untoward medical occurrence that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs inpatient hospitalization (including elective surgery), results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is an important medical event.

Population: All treated participants not discontinuing prior to the end of the study. One participant in period 3 (treatment D) was excluded from the pharmacokinetic analysis due to a predose concentration greater than 5% of Cmax.

PK is the process by which a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated by the body. Tmax is the time taken to reach the maximum observed plasma concentration.
