Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Healthy, adult, male 18 - 55 years of age, inclusive, at Screening. 2.

Body mass index (BMI) >= 18.0 and 4. Medically healthy with no clinically significant medical history, physical examination, laboratory profiles, vital signs or ECGs, as deemed by the PI or designee. At screening, subjects must have alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) 5. A non-vasectomized subject must agree to use a condom with spermicide or abstain from sexual intercourse during the study. (No restrictions are required for a vasectomized male provided his vasectomy has been performed 4 months or more prior to Day -1 of Period 1. A subject who has been vasectomized less than 4 months prior to Day -1 of Period 1 must follow the same restrictions as a non-vasectomized male). 6. Understands the study procedures in the informed consent form (ICF), and be willing and able to comply with the protocol

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Subject is mentally or legally incapacitated or has significant emotional problems at the time of the screening visit or expected during the conduct of the study. 2. History or presence of clinically significant medical or psychiatric condition or disease in the opinion of the PI or designee. 3. History of any illness that, in the opinion of the PI or designee, might confound the results of the study or poses an additional risk to the subject by their participation in the study. 4. History or presence of alcoholism or drug abuse within the past year prior to Day 1 of Period 1. History or presence of galactosemia or hypersensitivity or idiosyncratic reaction to the MCTs, related compounds, milk, palm or coconut oil, or soy. 6. History or presence of symptomatic diverticular disease, uncontrolled gastroesophageal reflux disease, ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome or recurrent diarrhea, or gout. 7. Positive urine drug results at Screening or Check-in. 8. Positive alcohol results at Screening or Check-in. One repeat assessment is permitted. 9. Positive results at screening for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or hepatitis C virus (HCV). 10. Seated blood pressure is less than 90/40 mmHg or greater than 140/90 mmHg at Screening. One repeat assessment is permitted. 11. Seated heart rate is lower than 40 bpm or higher than 99 bpm at Screening. 12. QTcF interval is >460 msec or subject has ECG findings deemed abnormal with clinical significance by the PI or designee at Screening. 13. Estimated creatinine clearance 14. Unable to refrain from or anticipates the use of any drug, including prescription and non-prescription medications, herbal remedies, or vitamin supplements beginning 14 days prior to Day 1 of Period 1 and throughout the study. Acetaminophen (up to 2 g per 24 hours) may be permitted during the study. 15. Has been on a diet incompatible with the on-study diet, in the opinion of the PI or designee, within the 28 days prior to Day 1 of Period 1 and throughout the study. 16. Has been following a ketogenic diet, in the opinion of the PI or designee, within 2 weeks prior to Day 1 of Period 1. 17. Is lactose intolerant. 18. Is unable to complete the standard breakfast prior to dosing on Day 1 of each Period. 19. Donation of blood or significant blood loss within 56 days prior to Day 1 of Period 1. 20. Plasma donation within 7 days prior to Day 1 of Period 1. 21. Participation in another clinical study within 28 days prior to Day 1 of Period 1. The 28- day window will be derived from the date of the last blood collection or dosing, whichever is later, in the previous study to Day 1 of Period 1 of the current study.

The endpoint will be the ratios of least-square means (LSM) from the ANOVA, for unadjusted and baseline adjusted, as appropriate, using the exponentiation of the LS from the analyses of the natural logarithm-transformed total ketones: AUC0-t, AUC0-4, AUC0-6, and Cmax) of each formulation (Test products A, B, C, D, and E) to the reference formulation(Test product F).
