Brief summary

To assess how long memantine HCl (50 mg) modified release prototype capsules stay in the stomach, as determined by imaging assessments (MRI or abdominal ultrasound) To evaluate the safety of memantine HCl modified release capsule formulations

Interventions

The intervention is LYN-057, a modified release (MR) prototype capsule containing memantine hydrochloride (HCl) (50 mg). The rationale for the development of this MR formulation is to reduce the frequency of dosing orally administered memantine HCl medications to once weekly or less and thereby improving the management of Alzheimer's disease. The dose of LYN-057 to be given is a single Size 00EL capsule containing 50 mg memantine HCl within the MR formulation (stellate). One capsule (50 mg do

The dose of LYN-057 to be given is a single Size 00EL capsule containing 50 mg memantine HCl within the MR formulation (stellate). One capsule (50 mg dose) will be administered to the participant. This single capsule dose will be administered by a trained nurse (at a minimum) in a clinic (for Sentinel, Main or, if required, Supplemental Dosing Groups).
