Pharmacokinetics of Granule and Tablet Formulations of Deferitazole (Disodium Salt) and a Capsule Formulation of Deferitazole (Magnesium Hydroxide Salt)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetic profiles of deferitazole after administration of granule and tablet formulations of a deferitazole disodium salt to a capsule formulation of deferitazole magnesium hydroxide salt (reference formulation) in healthy adult subjects.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC) of Deferitazole [Up to 120 hours post-dose]
AUC of disodium salt granule, disodium salt tablet, and magnesium hydroxide salt
- Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Deferitazole [Up to 120 hours post-dose]
Cmax of disodium salt granule, disodium salt tablet, and magnesium hydroxide salt
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Taste of Deferitazole [Immediately after dose and 5 minutes post-dose]
- Bioequivalence of Deferitazole Disodium Salt Granule Formulation With Tablet Formulation [Up to 120 hours post-dose]
Compare the pharmacokinetic profile of granule formulation with pharmacokinetic profile of tablet formulation
