Participant Flow

Healthy participants took part in the study at 1 investigative site in the United States from 2 February 2015 to 19 April 2015.

Healthy participants were enrolled equally in 1 of 3 sequences which determined the order of treatment: Regimen A (febuxostat XR 80 mg after high fat meal), B (febuxostat XR 40 mg after fasting) and C (febuxostat XR 80 mg after fasting). Regimens included a single dose on Day 1 followed by a 7-day washout period prior to receiving the next regimen.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 pre-dose and at multiple timepoints (up to 48 hours) post dose

Population: Participants from the Pharmacokinetic population (PK), all participants who received study drug and had at least 1 measurable plasma concentration, who received a single dose of study drug in Regimen A and C.

Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) is the peak plasma concentration of a drug after administration, obtained directly from the plasma concentration-time curve. Participant blood samples were collected pre-dose and following a single oral dose.
