About this study

This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics of a single oral microdose of PRX-P4-003 in healthy male volunteers in a fasted state (Study A) and a fed state (Study B).

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Treatment and study plan

PRX-P4-003

Drug

100 µg single oral microdose formulated as an oil-based lipid solution, hand-filled on-site into hard-shell Capsugel capsules and swallowed with 8 oz (240 mL) of water.

(-)-FCF

Drug

40 µg single oral dose dissolved in 8 oz (240 mL) of water as a liquid solution.

Other names: (-)-fencamfamine hydrochloride, (-)-FCF HCl

Primary outcomes

  1. Systemic Exposure (AUC0-t) of Active (-)-fencamfamine [(-)-FCF]

    Time frame: Up to 24 hours post-dose (pre-dose [15-30 minutes prior], and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 6, 9, 12, and 24 hours post-dose)

    Determination of the average exposure of active (-)-fencamfamine [(-)-FCF], as measured by the Area Under the plasma concentration-time Curve to the last measurable concentration (AUC0-t), following single oral microdose administration of PRX-P4-003 (100 µg) and the reference drug (-)-FCF HCl (40 µg).
