Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, on treprostinil pharmacokinetics.

Detailed description

This open-label study will evaluate the effect of esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, on treprostinil pharmacokinetics following a single 1 mg oral dose of UT-15C SR in healthy volunteers.

Interventions

Subjects will each receive a single 1 mg sustained release tablet of treprostinil diethanolamine by mouth immediately following breakfast before and after repeated daily dosing with esomeprazole.

DRUGEsomeprazole

Each subject will receive a single 40 mg capsule of esomeprazole by mouth in the morning for seven days.
