Brief summary

The primary purpose of this study is to compare the PK parameters of a single dose of a test tablet formulation of AKB-6548 relative to a single dose of the reference AKB-6548 tablet formulation, both treatments administered without food, and to compare the PK parameters of the test tablet formulation given under fed and fasted conditions.
