Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (as summarised by Cmax and AUC) of the test formulation relative to that of the reference formulation. All plasma samples will be assayed for (2E,4E,6E,8E)-9-(4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylphenyl)-3,7-dimethylnona-2,4,6,8-tetraenoic acid using one fully validated LC/MS/MS method. Validation will be conducted to comply with FDA guidelines.[0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 48 and 72 hours post dosing.]
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
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.[0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 48 and 72 hours post dosing.]
