- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To compare the bioavailability of iron(3+);(2R,3S,4R,5R)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxy-6-[(2S,3R,4S,5S,6R)-3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)oxan-2-yl]oxyhexanal;trihydroxide (as summarised by Cmax and AUC) for the formulation. All serum samples will be assayed for iron(3+);(2R,3S,4R,5R)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxy-6-[(2S,3R,4S,5S,6R)-3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)oxan-2-yl]oxyhexanal;trihydroxide using one fully validated colorimetric method. Validation will be conducted to comply with EU and FDA guidelines.[ Pre-dose blood samples will be collected at -2, -0.5 and 0 hours and post-dose samples will be collected at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 20, 24 and 36 hours.]
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Time to maximum peak concentration (Tmax) will be determined by serum sample analysis. Tmax will be the time where the maximum concentration occurred in the sample points.[ Pre-dose blood samples will be collected at -2, -0.5 and 0 hours and post-dose samples will be collected at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 20, 24 and 36 hours.]
