Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to select the formulation with the optimal pharmacokinetic profile for an hypnotic drug to further develop in the market.
Detailed description
A single-centre, open-label, randomized, single-dose, 6-way crossover study to investigate the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of 6 different formulations of SB-649868 30 mg (Part A) and the effect of food on the selected formulation of SB-649868 pharmacokinetic (Part B) in healthy male volunteers
