Treatment and study plan

Diazoxide Choline Controlled-Release Tablet

Drug

DCCR 290 mg once a day for 10 days

Primary outcomes

  1. Steady-state Pharmacokinetic profile of DCCR

    Time frame: 10 days

    • Mean concentration-time profile for diazoxide
    • Steady-state pharmacokinetic parameters of diazoxide (Cmax(ss), AUC0-inf(ss), and CL/F)
    • Terminal elimination half-life (t½) of diazoxide

Secondary outcomes

  1. Concentration-Time profile of major metabolite

    Time frame: 10 days

    • Steady-state pharmacokinetic parameters (Cmax(ss) and AUC0-inf(ss)) of the major metabolite of diazoxide
    • Terminal elimination half-life (t½) of the major metabolite of diazoxide
    • Metabolite-to-parent ratios at steady-state in terms of Cmax(ss) and AUC0-inf(ss)
