A study to compare two different forms of the same medicine (deferasirox tablet that is dissolved in liquid form vs. deferasirox granule form) to see how much of each type of medicine ends up in the blood.

A randomized, open label, single center, phase I, two way, cross-over study to evaluate the pharmacokinetic comparability of deferasirox new granule formulation with the reference dispersible formulation in healthy subjects.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Evaluate the PK comparability of a reduced dose of the deferasirox granule formulation given with a small amount of a soft food matrix (apple sauce) versus the reference dispersible tablet formulation of deferasirox under fasted conditions in healthy subjects.;Secondary Objective: Evaluate the safety and tolerability of deferasirox granule formulation in comparison to the reference DT formulation. ;Primary end point(s): -Primary PK parameters: AUClast, AUCinf and Cmax. -Secondary PK parameters: Tmax, T1/2, and Lambda_z;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Safety assessments such as AEs, vitals, ECGs and laboratory parameters;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 30 days after End of Treatment Visit
