Treatment A - BLacosamide (LCM) tabletSingle administration of the reference drug (Treatment A, a single dose of Lacosamide (LCM) 200 mg administered as 2 oral tablets \[100 mg each\]), followed by a Wash-Out Period of at least 7 days and a single administration of the test drug (Treatment B, a single dose of LCM 200 mg administered as intravenous infusion)
Treatment A - BLacosamide (LCM) solution for infusionSingle administration of the reference drug (Treatment A, a single dose of Lacosamide (LCM) 200 mg administered as 2 oral tablets \[100 mg each\]), followed by a Wash-Out Period of at least 7 days and a single administration of the test drug (Treatment B, a single dose of LCM 200 mg administered as intravenous infusion)
Treatment B - ALacosamide (LCM) tabletSingle administration of the test drug (Treatment B, a single dose of LCM 200 mg administered as intravenous infusion), followed by a Wash-Out Period of at least 7 days and a single administration of the reference drug (Treatment A, a single dose of Lacosamide (LCM) 200 mg administered as 2 oral tablets \[100 mg each\])

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Area under the LCM plasma concentration-time curve extrapolated to infinity (AUC)Blood samples are collected at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours after dosing

Area under the LCM plasma concentration-time curve extrapolated to infinity calculated as AUC(0-t) + t/z, where t is the estimated plasma concentration at time t and z the terminal elimination rate constant.

Area under the LCM plasma concentration-time curve from time zero up to the time of last quantifiable concentration (AUC[0-t])Blood samples are collected at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours after dosing

Area under the LCM plasma concentration-time curve from time zero up to the last quantifiable concentration data point, computed using the log-linear trapezoidal rule.

Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of Lacosamide (LCM)Blood samples are collected at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours after dosing

Blood samples will be taken at indicated time points to determine maximum Lacosamide (LCM) plasma concentration.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Volume of distribution (Vz) of LCMBlood samples are collected at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours after dosing

Volume of distribution, calculated as Vz=CL/z. Vz will be calculated for the iv formulation only.

Time of observed Cmax (tmax) of LCMBlood samples are collected at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours after dosing

Time of observed Cmax will be obtained directly from the plasma concentration-time curves.

Apparent volume of distribution (Vz/F) of LCMBlood samples are collected at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours after dosing

Apparent volume of distribution, calculated as Vz/F=(CL/F)/z. Vz/F will be calculated for the oral tablet formulation only

Terminal plasma elimination half-life (t1/2) of LCMBlood samples are collected at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours after dosing

Terminal elimination half-life of LCM, reported in hours, as determined via simple linear regression (slope=-z) of natural log (ln) concentration vs time for data points in the terminal phase of the concentration-time curve. t½ is calculated as ln(2)/z.

Apparent plasma clearance (CL/F) of LCMBlood samples are collected at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours after dosing

Apparent plasma clearance calculated as CL/F=Dose/AUC. CL/F will be calculated for the oral tablet formulation only

Plasma clearance (CL) of LCMBlood samples are collected at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours after dosing

Plasma clearance, calculated as CL=Dose/AUC. CL will be calculated for the iv formulation only.
