- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To compare the bioequivalence of (E)-4-methoxy-4-oxobut-2-enoic-acid (as summarised by Cmax and AUC) for the formulation. All plasma samples will be assayed for (E)-4-methoxy-4-oxobut-2-enoic-acid using a fully validated LC/MS/MS method. Validation will be conducted to comply with EU and FDA guidelines.[ Prior to dosing and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 14 hours post dosing]
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Time to maximum peak concentration (Tmax) will be determined by plasma sample analysis. Tmax will be the time where the maximum concentration occurred in the sample points.[ Prior to dosing and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 14 hours post dosing]
