A Study to Assess the Relative Bioavailability of JNJ64041575 Administered as 2 Different New Concept Formulations (Oral Suspension and Tablet) Compared to Their Respective Current Formulations, and to Assess the Effect of Food on the Pharmacokinetics of the 2 New Concept Formulations

The purpose of this study is to assess the rate and extent of absorption of JNJ-64041575 by measuring ALS-008112 plasma concentrations following administration of a single oral dose of JNJ-64041575 given as 2 new concept formulations (oral suspension and tablet) compared to their respective current formulations under fasted conditions and to assess the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of the 2 new concept formulations under fed condition in healthy adult participants.

    Time frame: Day 1

    A taste and swallowability questionnaire will be completed by the participant within 5 to 15 minutes after each study drug intake in each treatment period, to compare the taste and swallowability (tablets only) of JNJ-64041575 following administration of different oral formulations under fed and fasted conditions. For the taste questionnaire, a dichotomization will be made for the overall question, categorizing 'bad' and 'almost acceptable' versus 'acceptable' and 'good'. For the swallowability, a dichotomization will be made of 'slightly difficult' or worse versus 'neither difficult nor easy' or better. The results of the questionnaire will be transcribed into the e-Source by a member of the study-site personnel.
