- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To compare the bioavailability of N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine (as summarised by Cmax(ss) and AUC(ss)) for the two formulations. All plasma samples will be assayed for N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine using a fully validated LC/MS/MS method. Validation will be conducted to comply with TGA guidelines.[ Pre-dose on days 1-4 and 15-18 then on study days 5 and 19 at -1, -0.5, 0 (pre-dose) and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 and 24 hours post dosing.]
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Time to maximum peak concentration (Tmax). Tmax will be the time where the maximum concentration occurred in the sample points. All plasma samples will be assayed for N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine using a fully validated LC/MS/MS method.[ Pre-dose on days 1-4 and 15-18 then on study days 5 and 19 at -1, -0.5, 0 (pre-dose) and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 and 24 hours post dosing]
