Overview

Brief Summary

This study is a randomized, open-label, cross-over study in healthy subjects performed at a single study center. The study is divided into two parts, Part 1 and Part 2. The purpose of the study is to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) of three different prototype capsule formulations (omega-3-carboxylic acids test formulations) with Epanova® capsules 1000 mg under fasted conditions in Part 1 and under fed conditions in Part 2. The results will be used as basis for choice of formulation for further pharmaceutical development.

Detailed Description

To assess the relative bioavailability of the different omega-3-carboxylic acids prototype capsule formulations in relation to Epanova® capsules 1000 mg under fed and fasted conditions.
