Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To investigate the steady-state pharmacokinetics of once-daily and twice-daily regimens of BIA 2-093 and twice-daily regimen of Oxcarbazepine (Trileptal®) in healthy subjects and to assess the tolerability of such regimens in healthy subjects.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Single centre, open-label, randomised, three-way crossover study in 12 healthy volunteers. The study consisted of three 8-day treatment periods separated by washout periods of 10-15 days. On each of the treatment periods the volunteers received either a daily oral dose of BIA 2-093 900 mg once-daily (od), BIA 2-093 450 mg twice-daily (bid), or Oxcarbazepine (Trileptal®) 450 mg bid.
