A Study of SJP-001 in Comparison With Fexofenadine and Naproxen Administered With Alcohol

This will be a double-blind, placebo-controlled study with a 4-way crossover design with subjects administered study drug (SJP-001), placebo, fexofenadine alone and naproxen alone on different study days, in conjunction with a quantity of alcohol estimated to be sufficient to produce a hangover the next day. The amount of alcohol may vary from subject to subject, however each subject will consume the same types and amounts of alcohol on each subsequent treatment day as consumed on the first.

About this study

At each of four treatment visits, each separated by a minimum 7-day washout (i.e., the treatment day followed by a minimum of 6 subsequent non-treatment days), subjects will be administered SJP-001, placebo, fexofenadine alone and naproxen alone. Subjects will be randomized equally to one of four treatment sequences, according to a schedule prepared prior to the start of the study. Treatments will be administered 15 minutes before the start of a maximum 3-hour interval during which subjects will drink their choice of a selection of alcoholic and non-alcohol beverages. The amount of alcohol consumed will be targeted to achieve a breath alcohol content (BrAC) of 0.08%, a level estimated to be sufficient to produce a hangover the following day.
