- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: Evaluate the PK comparability of a reduced dose of the deferasirox granule formulation given with a small amount of a soft food matrix (apple sauce) versus the reference dispersible tablet formulation of deferasirox under fasted conditions in healthy subjects.;Secondary Objective: Evaluate the safety and tolerability of deferasirox granule formulation in comparison to the reference DT formulation.<br>;Primary end point(s): -Primary PK parameters: AUClast, AUCinf and Cmax.<br>-Secondary PK parameters: Tmax, T1/2, and Lambda_z;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary end point(s): Safety assessments such as AEs, vitals, ECGs and laboratory parameters;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 30 days after End of Treatment Visit
