Brief summary
The purpose of this study is the following: * To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of orally administered tafamidis in Japanese and Western healthy volunteers at single dose. * To compare Japanese and Western PK profiles. * Determine the PD stabilization effect of tafamidis on human transthyretin (TTR) in a validated ex vivo assay.
Interventions
A single oral dose of 20 mg capsule
A single oral dose of matched placebo.
