Effect of Food on the Pharmacokinetics of Apremilast (CC-10004) in Healthy Adults

Participants will be randomized to receive a single dose of 30 mg apremilast during each of the 2 periods; once under fasting conditions and once after a high fat meal. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive apremilast either fasted first, then fed, or fed first then fasted. Participants will check into the study center on Day -1 of each period, will be dosed on Day 1, and discharged from the study center on Day 3 after all scheduled pharmacokinetic blood draws and safety evaluations. After a washout of 5 to 10 days, participants will return for period 2 during which they will receive apremilast according to their assigned sequence.
