Brief Summary

This will be a study existing of 4 periods, to evaluate for a single dose of 4 different tablets of DPOC-4088 the absorption and elimination from the body and the potential effect on blood clotting. The differences between the tablets are the dose (100 or 200 mg) and the rate of release of DPOC-4088 from the tablet (16 or 20 hours). The allocation of the tablets in each period will be determined by chance but is known upfront.

Detailed Description

This will be a randomized, open-label, single oral dose study. The 4-period crossover study will determine and compare the PK and PD profiles of DPOC-4088 when administered as a single oral dose of 100 mg and 200 mg of DPOC-4088 in two prolonged release formulations (16 and 20 hr) in 12 evaluable young healthy male subjects.

Each subject (in a fasting state) will receive each of the 4 treatments (A, B, C, and D) in a balanced, 4-period crossover design. Each treatment consists of a single oral dose of 100 mg or 200 mg of DPOC-4088 in either prolonged release formulation (16 or 20 hr). Subjects will arrive at the study unit for an overnight fast of at least 10 hrs the evening before each dosing period and remain in the unit for at least 24 hrs after dosing. Standard meals will be provided and subjects will receive their first meal after dosing at 4 hrs post-dose. Blood samples will be drawn for PK and PD evaluations immediately prior to dosing and at specified time intervals for 48 hrs post-dosing. Each dosing period will be separated by at least a 5-day washout period that is preferentially not to exceed 10 days.

In healthy young male subjects, the safety, tolerability, and the PK profile of DPOC-4088 will be assessed. Additionally, this study will assess the PD profile and the relationship of PK/PD in terms of the ability of DPOC-4088 to inhibit thrombin activity (based on prolongation of aPTT, ECT, TT and PT).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

1. Male between 18 to 45 years of age.

2. Either a non- or a light-smoker (<5 cigarettes per day) and agrees to refrain from smoking during the entire 4-week study until after the last PK sample is drawn.

3. Body-mass index (BMI) of 18-30 kg/m2.

4. In good health on the basis of history, physical examination, and routine laboratory data.

5. Understands the procedures and agrees to participate in the study program by giving written informed consent.

6. Coagulation tests including aPTT, ECT, TT and PT within the reference range and a platelet count >145,000/mm3.

7. At screening, normal transaminases and negative Hemoccult Sensa test. In the event of a positive Hemoccult test, the test should be repeated twice. If the results of both repeats tests are negative, the first Hemoccult test result is considered a false positive and the subject may be included.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Mentally or legally incapacitated, significant emotional problems at the time of the study, or a history of psychiatric disorders.
