A plain-language read of the study's public EU CTIS listing. The study team confirms the details.

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Healthy males and non-pregnant and no breast-feeding females*, ≥ 18 and ≤ 60 years of age** (on the day of Informed Consent). *Pregnancy is tested during screening and check-in for each period. **The upper age limit is set due to higher probability of co-morbidities above 60 years and to avoid unnecessary screening of too many subjects.
  • Non-smokers or past-smokers (who has stopped smoking at least 6 months before the first dosing).
  • Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 18.5 and ≤ 30.0 kg/m2 on the day of screening.
  • Subject is available for the whole study and has provided his/her written informed consent.
  • Subjects in good health, as determined by screening medical history, physical examination, vital signs assessments (heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and body temperature) and 12-lead ECG. Minor deviations outside the reference ranges will be acceptable, if deemed not clinically significant by the Investigator.
  • All laboratory screening results within the normal range or deemed clinically insignificant by Investigator.

You likely can't join if

  • Hematological, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, renal, or hepatic diseases and/or pathological findings present or in history, which might interfere with the drug pharmacokinetics
  • Positive result of urine cotinine test at screening or at check-in.
  • Positive result of blood pregnancy test at screening or positive urine pregnancy test at check-in or breast-feeding or missing results of pregnancy test.
  • Drug, alcohol (≥ 40 g in men or ≥ 20 g in women of pure ethanol per day), solvents or caffeine abuse.
  • Serious mental disease and/or inability to cooperate with clinical team.
  • Sitting blood pressure after a minimum of 5 minutes of rest is out of the range of 90-140 mmHg for systolic BP and/or 60-90 mmHg for diastolic BP and/or heart rate out of the range of 50-90 bpm during the screening procedure.

  • All laboratory screening results within the normal range or deemed clinically insignificant by Investigator.
  • Acceptance of use of contraceptive measures during the whole study by both female and male subjects***. ***Methods of highly effective contraception for female subjects of childbearing potential: - combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception, either oral, intravaginal or transdermal or - progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation, either oral, injectable or implantable or - intrauterine hormone-releasing system or - bilateral tubal occlusion or - vasectomised (sterilised) partner (if it is a sole sexual partner of the subject and medical assessment of the surgical success has been provided to the partner) or - intrauterine device (non-hormonal) since at least 30 days prior to the first dosing and use one of the barrier methods or - abstinence from any sexual intercourse (if this is in line with subject´s preferred and routine lifestyle.) Hormonal intrauterine device or oral hormonal contraceptives or hormonal replacement therapy should be taken without significant changes in dose for 90 days before the first dosing and without change during the study. Highly effective contraception should be combined with use of barrier method with spermicide (condom, diaphragm). Recommended methods of contraception for male subjects: If a female partner of male participant in the study is of childbearing potential, the couple needs to use the above described highly effective contraception methods. Premenarcheal women, women with documented hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy and postmenopausal women are not considered of childbearing potential. Postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for at least 12 months without an alternative medical cause. - If a female partner of male participant in the study is pregnant, the recommended contraception method is that the male must use barrier method (condom). The appropriate contraceptive measures must be used during this study and at least 30 days after receiving the last dose of the study drug.
