Brief Summary

This is a randomized, double-blind (with respect to Tebipenem pivoxil hydrobromide [TBPM-PI-HBr]/placebo only), placebo- and active-control, single-dose, 4-way crossover study that will enroll 24 healthy adult male and female subjects. There will be a washout period of at least 7 days between dosing in each period and each subject will receive all 4 treatments over 4 periods in a crossover study design.

Detailed Description

This is a randomized, double-blind (with respect to TBPM-PI-HBr / placebo only), placebo- and active-control, single-dose, 4-way crossover study. Twenty-four (24) healthy, adult, male and female subjects will be enrolled. Screening of subjects will occur within 28 days prior to the first dosing.

All subjects will receive a single dose of 4 different study treatments over 4 separate treatment periods, each separated by a 7-day washout period.

On Day 1 of Period 1, subjects will be randomized to 1 of 12 treatment sequences. Sentinel group: In Period 1 only, 4 subjects will be dosed 24 hours prior to the remaining 20 subjects. Each of the 4 subjects from the sentinel group will receive a different treatment.

On Day 1 of each period, subjects will receive a single oral therapeutic dose of TBPM-PI-HBr (Treatment A), supratherapeutic dose of TBPM-PI-HBr (Treatment B), placebo (Treatment C), or moxifloxacin (Treatment D) according to the randomization scheme.

In each period, cardiodynamic ECGs and PK blood samples will be collected pre-dose and for 24 hours post-dose. Safety will be monitored throughout the study by repeated clinical and laboratory evaluations.

Discontinued subjects who have received study drug will not be replaced.
