SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From Day 1 up to 3 weeks

Population: The Safety Analysis Set included all participants who administered at least one dose of study interventions.

An Adverse event (AE) was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease associated with the use of study drug, whether or not considered related to the study drug or worsening of pre-existing medical condition, whether or not related to study drug. A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect or was otherwise considered medically important. An AE was considered as 'treatment emergent' if it occurred after the first drug administration of each period or if it was present prior to drug administration but exacerbated after the drug administration. TEAEs included both Serious TEAEs and non-serious TEAEs.

Population: Pharmacokinetic Analysis Set included those participants who completed investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration and completed all pharmacokinetic blood collection. Here "Number of participants analyzed" signifies those participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure.

AUC0-inf was calculated by combining AUC0-t and AUC extra. AUC extra represents an extrapolated value obtained by Clast/ lambda z, where Clast is the calculated plasma concentration at the last sampling time point at which the measured plasma concentration is at or above the Lower Limit of quantification (LLQ) and lambda z is the apparent terminal rate constant determined by log-linear regression analysis of the measured plasma concentrations of the terminal log-linear phase.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Part 1 (fasted): Pre-dose and 0.5, 1, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 24 and 32 hours post dose. Part 2 (fed): Pre-dose 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 24 and 32 hours post dose

Population: Pharmacokinetic Analysis Set included those participants who completed investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration and completed all pharmacokinetic blood collection. Here "Number of participants analyzed" signifies those participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure.

Terminal half-life is the time measured for the concentration to decrease by one half. Terminal half-life calculated by natural log 2 divided by lambda z.
