A Study To Assess The Pharmacokinetics Of SB-742457 Formulated As A Capsule And A Tablet In Healthy Elderly Volunteers.

SB-742457 is a 5HT6 receptor antagonist that is in development for the symptomatic treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease . To date, all clinical trials have been conducted using a capsule formulation of SB-742457. However, it is intended to conduct all futures studies with a tablet formulation. The aim of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetic profile of SB-742457 and its major metabolites following single doses of both the capsule and tablet formulations.

Treatment and study plan

SB-742457

Drug

Primary outcomes

  1. To characterise pharmacokinetics ( AUC(0-inf) and Cmax ) of SB-742457 from pre-dose to 96 hours following single doses formulated as a capsule and a tablet.

    Time frame: pre-dose to 96 hours

Secondary outcomes

  1. To assess safety and tolerability (adverse events, blood pressure, heart rate, 12-lead ECG, blood haematology/clinical chemistry and urinalysis) of SB-742457 following single doses formulated as a capsule and a tablet over the 6 week study period.
