Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetic and safety profile of a single dose of oral treprostinil following four different meals of varying caloric and fat content.

Interventions

Subjects will each receive a single 1 mg sustained release tablet of treprostinil diethanolamine by mouth within 10 minutes of consuming each of four standardized meals on Study Days 1, 8, 15, and 22.

Each subject will receive one of four different standardized meals of varying caloric and fat content in a randomized sequence such that all subjects will receive all four meals over the course of the study. Each subject will receive one standardized meal for breakfast on Study Days 1, 8, 15, and 22.
