Pre-assignment details

The subjects were randomly allocated to the 2 treatment sequences (test (T) - reference (R) or R-T) in 3 separate trial parts. There was a wash-out period of at least 35 days between the treatments.Treatments were administered as single doses in the fed state in Parts 1 and 3, and in the fasted state in Part 2.
