Brief summary

To compare the bioavailability and pharmacokinetic profiles of two different formulations MN-166 50mg, extended release (ER) tablets with MN-166 10mg capsules in a single-dose regimen in healthy volunteers

Detailed description

Part 1: To compare the bioavailability and pharmacokinetic profiles of two different formulations MN-166 50mg, extended release (ER) tablets with MN-166 10mg capsules in a single-dose regimen in healthy volunteers; and To choose one of the two MN-166 50mg ER tablet formulations for evaluation in Part 2. Secondary: To determine the safety and tolerability of the two formulations of MN-166 ER tablets in a single-dose regimen in healthy volunteers. Part 2: To compare the bioavailability and steady-state pharmacokinetic profile of MN-166 50mg ER tablet with MN-166 10mg capsules in a multiple-dose regimen in healthy volunteers; and Secondary: To determine the safety and tolerability of MN-166 ER tablets in a multiple-dose regimen in healthy volunteers

Intervention model description

Subjects will receive the following three treatments in a crossover fashion, administered one week apart: * ER1: Single dose (50mg) of ER Prototype 1 (one 50mg ER1 tablet), * ER2: Single dose (50mg) of ER Prototype 2 (one 50mg ER2 tablet), and * IR: Two doses of intermediate-release capsules (50mg Pinatos® capsules in two divided doses 12 hours apart, i.e., 25mg for each dose).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Compare the PK Profile of two new formulations in Single-day dose of MN-1665 weeksCompare the maximum plasma concentrations \[Cmax\] of MN-166 of two different formulations MN-166 50mg, extended release (ER) tablets with MN-166 10mg capsules in a single-dose regimen in healthy volunteers.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Compare the incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events of two new formulations in Single-day dose of MN-1665 weeksCompare the number and frequency of treatment-emergent adverse events (serious and non-serious) profiles of two different formulations MN-166 50mg, extended release (ER) tablets with MN-166 10mg capsules in a single-dose regimen in healthy volunteers.
Compare the PK Profile of two new formulations in Multi-day dose of MN-1663 weeksCompare the maximum plasma concentrations \[Cmax\] of MN-166 of two different formula in a multiple-dose regimen.
