Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of intranasally administered esketamine in healthy Han Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Caucasian participants and to evaluate the effects of rifampin on the pharmacokinetics of intranasally administered esketamine in healthy Caucasian participants.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Esketamine Participants in Cohort 1 (Han Chinese participants), Cohort 2 (Korean participants) and Cohort 3 (Japanese participants ) will receive 100-microliter (mcL) spray of 14 percent (%) esketamine solution (14 milligram [mg]) into each nostril at Time 0 and 5 minutes later for a total dose of 56 milligram (mg) in Period 1. |
Drug: Esketamine
100-mcL spray of 14% esketamine solution (14 mg) for a total dose of 56 mg.
|
| Experimental: Esketamine+Rifampin Participants in Cohort 4 (Caucasian participants) will receive a 56-mg intranasal esketamine dose regimen on Day 1 in treatment period 1 followed by rifampin from Day -6 to Day -1 of treatment Period 2 and followed by 56-mg intranasal esketamine dose regimen on Day 1 in treatment period 2. |
Drug: Esketamine
100-mcL spray of 14% esketamine solution (14 mg) for a total dose of 56 mg.
Drug: Rifampin
2 capsules (300 mg each) of rifampin.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) [Up to Day 2]
The Cmax is the maximum observed plasma concentration.
- Time to Reach Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) [Up to Day 2]
The Tmax is defined as actual sampling time to reach maximum observed plasma concentration.
- Time to Last Observed Quantifiable Plasma Concentration (Tlast) [Up to Day 2]
The Tlast is the time to last observed quantifiable plasma concentration.
- Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to 12 Hours (AUC12h) [Up to Day 2]
The (AUC12h) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to 12 hours Post-dose.
- Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration AUC(0-last) [Up to Day 2]
The AUC (0-last) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to time of the last quantifiable concentration.
- Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinite Time (AUC [0-infinity]) [Up to Day 2]
The AUC (0-infinity) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinite time, calculated as the sum of AUC(0-last) and C(0-last)/lambda(z), wherein AUC(0-last) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to time of the last quantifiable concentrations; C(0-last) is the last observed quantifiable concentration; and lambda(z) is elimination rate constant.
- Elimination Half-life (t1/2) [Up to Day 2]
Elimination half-life (t [1/2]) is associated with the terminal slope (lambda [z]) of the semi logarithmic drug concentration-time curve, calculated as 0.693/lambda(z).
- Rate Constant (Lambda[z]) [Up to Day 2]
Lambda(z) is first-order rate constant associated with the terminal portion of the curve, determined as the negative slope of the terminal log-linear phase of the drug concentration-time curve.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AE) as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability [Up to Follow-up (45 days)]
