Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Evaluation of the PK profiles for each drug: Tmax, Cmax, AUC, T1/2 and Ctau by collection of blood samples for PK at D1 (Predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 and 20 hours), D2 to D6 (Predose), D7 (Predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20 hours), D8 (24 and 36 hours after last intake), D9 (48 hours after last intake)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Collection of additional safety and tolerability information 1. Physical examination: Baseline + D9 (48 hours post last dose) 2. Safety Labs: Baseline + D9 3. Urinalysis: Baseline + D9 4. Vital signs: Baseline, D1 to D7 (3 and 6 hours post dose) and D9 (48 hours post last dose) 5. ECG: Baseline, D1 (3 hours post dose) D2 to D7 (Predose) and D9 (48 hours post last dose)
