Measure
Liquid First
n=11 Participants
Oral liquid formulation of 13-Cis Retinoic Acid (test product) administered in Cycle 1, then 13-CRA extracted capsules (reference product) administered in Cycle 2. The daily dose in each cycle was 200mg per m\^2 (in 2 divided doses), reduced to 160 mg per m\^2 if weight \< 12 kg
Extracted Capsule First
n=9 Participants
13-CRA extracted capsules (reference product) administered in Cycle 1, then oral liquid formulation of 13-Cis Retinoic Acid (test product) administered in Cycle 2. The daily dose in each cycle was 200mg per m\^2 (in 2 divided doses), reduced to 160 mg per m\^2 if weight \< 12 kg
