An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered to be related to the medicinal product. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, or results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect.

Timeframe: Screening (Days -28 to -2); pre-dose and 2h post-dose on D1 and D5 of each treatment period; at Follow-up visit (10 -14 days after last dose) for blood pressure and HR; Screening; Day -1 of each treatment period; Follow-up visit for temperature

Population: Safety Population included all participants who received at least one dose of the study medication, whether prematurely withdrawn from the study or not.

Vital signs included heart rate (HR), blood pressure (systolic blood pressure \[SBP\] and diastolic blood pressure \[DBP\]), and body temperature. Blood pressure and pulse rate were recorded when participants were rested in a supine position for at least 5 minutes and after standing for 2 minutes. Vital signs values that fall outside the investigator's normal ranges were recorded.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Screening; Day -1 and Day 5 (pre-dose) of each treatment period; Follow-up visit

Population: Safety Population included all participants who received at least one dose of the study medication, whether prematurely withdrawn from the study or not.

Laboratory analysis included hematology (hemoglobin, hematocrit, erythrocytes, platelets counts, leukocytes counts, neutrophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, basophils, and monocytes);, biochemistry (aspartate aminotransferase , alanine aminotransferase, gamma glutamyl trans peptidase, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, albumin, creatinine, urea, creatine phosphokinase, total protein, sodium, chloride, calcium, phosphate, potassium, glucose (fasting), amylase, lipase, total cholesterol, and calculated creatinine clearance); and urinalysis. Marked laboratory test values (high and low) falling outside the marked reference range and which also represents a clinically relevant change from baseline of at least a designated amount were recoded. In this study, marked abnormality ranges for phosphate as 0.75 - 1.60 millimole (mmol)/L and proteinuria (0 to 4+, and 1).
