Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to describe the pharmacokinetics of a new oral liquid moxifloxacin formulation and the influence of concommitant food intake on the pharmacokinetics in healthy adults compared to the marketed oral tablet. Pharmacokinetics is to see how the body absorbs, distributes and gets rid of the study drug. The absorption of the drug administered in a different dosage form may be altered due to the influence of different excipients used. The safety of moxifloxacin when administered as an oral liquid formulation will also be looked at. Results from this study will be used to guide dosing strategies of the larger clinical trial planned for children.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Zero to Infinity (AUC) of Moxifloxacin after a Single Dose | 0 hour (pre-dose), 15, 30, 45 minutes; 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours postdose | AUC is a measure of systemic drug exposure, which is obtained by collecting a series of blood samples and measuring the concentrations of drug in each sample. AUC is defined as area under concentration versus time curve from time 0 (pre-dose) to extrapolated infinite time. Geometric mean and percentage geometric coefficient of variation (%CV) were reported. |
| Maximum Observed Drug Concentration (Cmax) of Moxifloxacin after a Single Dose | 0 hour (pre-dose), 15, 30, 45 minutes; 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours postdose | Cmax refers to the highest measured drug concentration which is obtained by collecting a series of blood samples and measuring the concentrations of drug in each sample. Geometric mean and percentage geometric coefficient of variation (%CV) were reported. |
| Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Zero to Infinity Divided by Dose(AUC/D) of Moxifloxacin after a Single Dose | 0 hour (pre-dose), 15, 30, 45 minutes; 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours postdose | Geometric mean and percentage geometric coefficient of variation (%CV) were reported. |
| Maximum Observed Drug Concentration Adjusted by Dose (Cmax/D) of Moxifloxacin after a Single Dose | 0 hour (pre-dose), 15, 30, 45 minutes; 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours postdose | Geometric mean and percentage geometric coefficient of variation (%CV) were reported. |
Secondary

|---|---|---|
| Time to Reach Maximum Drug Concentration in Plasma (tmax) of Moxifloxacin after a Single Dose | 0 hour (pre-dose), 15, 30, 45 minutes; 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours postdose | tmax refers to the time after dosing when a drug attains its highest measurable concentration (Cmax). It is obtained by collecting a series of blood samples at various times after dosing, and measuring them for drug content. |
