Inclusion criteria

* Capable of providing written informed consent prior to initiation of any trial-related procedures, and able, in the opinion of the investigator, to comply with all requirements of the trial

Exclusion criteria

* Clinically significant abnormality at the time of screening (eg, significant deviation from reference ranges) or in medical history that, in the opinion of investigator or sponsor may place the subject at risk or interfere with outcome variables, including drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion * History of serious mental disorder * History of drug or alcohol abuse within 2 years prior to screening * History of any significant drug allergy * Use of an investigational drug within 120 days prior to the first dosing of trial drug * Use of tobacco products or daily exposure to secondhand smoke within 2 months prior to screening * Consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit products, Seville oranges, Seville orange products, starfruit, or starfruit products within 72 hours prior to dosing * Use of prescription, over-the-counter, or herbal medication, vitamin supplements, or St. John's Wort within 14 days prior to the first dosing of trial drug, or of antibiotics within 30 days prior to the first dosing of trial drug * History of major surgery of the digestive tract (excluding appendectomy) * Any subject who, in the opinion of the investigator, should not participate in the trial

Pre-assignment details

A total of 33 subjects were screened for participation in this trial. Of the 33 subjects, 18 subjects were enrolled and randomized to one of 3 sequences, each consisting of 6 subjects. Of the 6 subjects in the Sequence 1 group, 6 subjects received a single dose of OPC-34712 orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) without water, 5 subjects received a single dose of OPC-34712 conventional tablet, and 4 subjects received a single dose of OPC-34712 ODT with water.

Outcome results

Primary

Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity (AUC∞) of OPC-34712

To evaluate AUC∞ of OPC-34712 4-mg ODT formulation relative to 4-mg conventional tablet formulation

Time frame: Predose, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120,144, 168, 216, 264, and 312 hours postdose

Population: Pharmacokinetic analysis set consisted of subjects with all evaluable PK parameters from enrolled subjects who had evaluable plasma concentrations. No data imputation was done for missing data, ie, missing data remained missing for the analyses.
