A Study to Evaluate the Effect of Different Meal Types on the Pharmacokinetics of DBPR108 in Healthy Subjects

The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of different meal types on the pharmacokinetics of DBPR108, a potent dipeptidylpeptidase-4 inhibitor. In this open-label, randomized, three-period, crossover study, healthy subjects will receive a single dose of DBPR108 100 mg under fasted conditions and following a low-fat meal or a standard meal. Twenty-one healthy subjects will be randomized 1:1:1 to Sequence A, Sequence B, or Sequence C. This study will consist of a screening and baseline period, a treatment period, and a follow-up period. Blood samples for pharmacokinetic assessments will be taken pre-dose and up to 48 h post-dose.
