Brief Summary

This study is designed to evaluate the relative bioavailability, or the degree and rate at which the drug is absorbed by the body of two cenobamate formulations (200 mg Oral Suspension and a 200 mg Oral Tablet) and to assess the effect of food on the oral bioavailability of the 200 mg Oral Suspension. This study will also look at the safety and tolerability of the oral suspension and the oral tablet under both fasted and fed conditions.

Detailed Description

This study is an open-label, randomized, single-dose, single-center, three-period, six-sequence, balanced crossover study in healthy male and female subjects to assess the relative bioavailability of 200 mg of cenobamate given as an oral tablet or oral suspension and to evaluate the effect of food on the bioavailability of a 200 mg dose of cenobamate given as an oral suspension in fasting and fed conditions.

The study consists of a 28-day screening period, followed by single dose administration of cenobamate (tablet or suspension) on Day 1, Day 22, and Day 43, an assessment period of 62 days and a follow-up visit on Day 69. All subjects will be confined to the clinical site from Day -1 (the day before period 1 dosing) until the morning of Day 4, Day 20 (the day of the last PK sampling for period 1) until the morning of Day 25, and Day 41 (the day of the last PK sampling for period 2) until the morning of Day 46. Outpatient visits will be performed regularly until the 456-hour PK sampling for each period. The follow-up visit will occur on Day 69 (±1 day).

4. Body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 30.0 kg/m2 (inclusive) at screening

5. Judged to be in good health on the basis of medical history, physical examination, and routine laboratory measurements (i.e., without clinically relevant pathology)

Exclusion Criteria

1. Clinically relevant abnormal medical history, abnormal findings on physical examination, vital signs, ECG, or laboratory tests at Screening that the Investigator judges as likely to interfere with the objectives of the trial or the safety of the volunteer

2. Smokers (subjects who have smoked within 6 months at screening)

3. History of any drug related hypersensitivity reactions as well as severe hypersensitivity reactions (like angioedema) or DRESS as evaluated by the Investigator

Any prescribed or over-the-counter medication taken within 2 weeks prior to start of administration of study drug (Day 1) or within 6 times the elimination half-life of the medication prior to start of study drug intake (whichever is longer). Occasional use of acetaminophen is allowed up until 24 hours before dosing

6. Consumption of herbal medications, dietary supplements and specific fruit products. Subjects should have stopped consumption of herbal medications or dietary supplements (e.g., St. John's Wort, ginkgo biloba, and garlic supplements), and grapefruit or grapefruit juice, or Seville oranges at least 2 weeks before the first dosing day of study drug.
