Brief summary

The main aim of this study is to check what the body of a healthy adult who either fasted or had eaten does to TAK-721 and how TAK-721 is distributed in and removed from the body. Other aims are to learn how safe the treatment with TAK-721 is and how suitable the TAK-721 is for healthy adults who either fasted or had eaten. All participants will receive TAK-721 but half will be assigned by chance to the participant group who are fasting first then getting the high-fat/high-calorie meal later or the group who gets meal first and fasts later. The group assignment will be switched once during the course of the study so that all participants will receive TAK-721 in both a fasted or fed condition.

Detailed description

The drug being tested in this study is called budesonide. Budesonide oral suspension (BOS) is being tested in healthy adult participants. This study will determine whether the absorption of BOS will be altered if taken with food. The study will enroll approximately 20 patients. The study will consist of two treatment sequences and two periods separated by a washout period of 2 days. Participants will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a fair coin) to one of the two treatment sequences: * Treatment Sequence 1: Participants will receive 2 mg BOS orally on Day 1 of Period 1 in fasted condition (Treatment A). Two days later, participants will receive 2 mg BOS orally on Day 1 of Period 2 in fed condition (Treatment B). * Treatment Sequence 2: Participants will receive 2 mg BOS orally on Day 1 of Period 1 in fed condition (Treatment B). Two days later, participants will receive 2 mg BOS orally on Day 1 of Period 2 in fasted condition (Treatment A). This single center trial will be conducted in the United States. Participation in the study is up to approximately 34 days. Participants will visit the clinic approximately three days after last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.

An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (eg, a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. A TEAE was defined as an adverse event with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug. An SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, is life threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is an important medical event that may require an intervention to prevent above items and expose the participant to danger.
