Overview

Brief Summary

This will be an open-label, randomised, 2-period, single-dose crossover study to determine the comparative bioavailability of cytisine following single-dose administration in healthy male and female subjects under fed and fasted conditions.

The study will be comprised of a pre-study screen, followed by 2 treatment periods (1 and 2) and a post-study follow-up.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

•Healthy males and females between 18 and 55 years of age.
•If a female subject of child bearing potential, a negative pregnancy test at screening and admission and willing to use an effective method of contraception (unless of non-childbearing potential or where abstaining from sexual intercourse is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject) from first dose until 3 months after last dose of investigational medicinal product (IMP).
•If a female subject of non-child bearing potential, a negative pregnancy test at screening and admission. For the purposes of this study, this is defined as the subject being amenorrheic for at least 12 consecutive months or at least 4 months post-surgical sterilisation (including bilateral fallopian tube ligation or bilateral oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy). Menopausal status will be confirmed by demonstrating at screening that levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) fall within the respective pathology reference range. In the event a subject's menopause status has been clearly established (for example, the subject indicates she has been amenorrheic for 10 years), but FSH levels are not consistent with a post-menopausal condition, determination of subject eligibility will be at Investigator's discretion following consultation with the Sponsor.
•If a male subject, willing to use an effective method of contraception (unless anatomically sterile or where abstaining from sexual intercourse is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject) from first dose until 3 months after last dose of IMP.
•Subject with a body mass index (BMI) of 18-32 kg/m\^
•BMI = body weight in kg / \[height in m\]\^
•Subject with no clinically significant abnormal serum biochemistry, haematology and urine examination values within 28 days before the first dose of IMP.
•Subject with negative urinary drugs of abuse screen, determined within 28 days before the first dose of IMP (a positive alcohol or cotinine result may be repeated at Investigator's discretion).
•Subject with negative human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B surface antigen (Hep B) and hepatitis C virus antibody (Hep C) results.
•Subject with no clinically significant abnormalities in 12-lead ECG determined after minimum of 5 minutes in supine position within 28 days before the first dose of IMP.

Exclusion Criteria

•Known hypersensitivity/allergy reaction to varenicline, other cytisine-derivatives or any of the excipients in the Tabex formulation (lactose, cellulose, talc, magnesium).
•History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to any other drugs.
•History of any medical condition (e.g. gastrointestinal, renal or hepatic) or surgical condition (e.g. cholecystectomy, gastrectomy) that may affect drug pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion).
•Difficulty in donating blood on either arm or known history.
•History of alcoholism or drug abuse within last 2 years.
•Regular nicotine intake (e.g., smoking, nicotine patch, nicotine chewing gum or electronic cigarettes) within previous 3 months and inability to refrain from nicotine intake from Screening until end of study.
•Use of prescription or non-prescription drugs, including vitamins, herbal and dietary supplements within 14 days (or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of IMP, unless in the opinion of the Investigator the medication will not interfere with the study procedures or compromise subject safety.
•Participated in any investigational drug clinical trial within the previous 3 months or a marketed drug trial within the previous 30 days prior to randomization on Day 1 of Period
•Donation of 450 mL or more blood or had history of significant blood loss due to any reason or had plasmapheresis within 3 months before the first dose of IMP.
•Any special food restrictions that may hinder ability to consume the high fat breakfast provided during the study; such as lactose intolerance, vegan, low-fat, low sodium, etc.

Arms & Interventions

Schedule A: Fed Then Fasted

Intervention: Cytisine

Schedule B: Fasted Then Fed

Schedule B (12 subjects): * Period 1: Cytisine (2 x 1.5 mg tablets) will be administered after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours (fasting state). * Period 2: Cytisine (2 x 1.5 mg tablets) will be administered 30 minutes after the start of a high fat breakfast (fed state).

Intervention: Cytisine
