Study to Determine the Intra-subject Variability of Pharmacokinetics of Lomitapide in Healthy Subjects
Phase 1
Completed
- Conditions
- Intra-subject Variability of Pharmacokinetics
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT01915771
- Lead Sponsor
- Aegerion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
- Brief Summary
Objectives:
To evaluate the intra-subject variability of the pharmacokinetics (PK) of single oral capsule doses of 20 mg lomitapide.
- Detailed Description
This study will be a single centre, open-label study. It will comprise of 2 single oral doses with at least a 14-day washout between doses. Following the first dose subjects will be discharged from the unit for the remainder of the washout period. Subjects will be re-admitted to the unit on Day -1 (Period 2) and following an overnight fast they will be administered the second dose on Day 1 (Period 2). Subjects will be discharged from the unit following the 168 h PK blood draw.
