A subject who has been vasectomized less than 4 months prior to Day -1 of Period 1 must follow the same restrictions as a non vasectomized male).

Exclusion Criteria

  2. History or presence of clinically significant medical or psychiatric condition or disease in the opinion of the PI or designee.
  3. History of any illness that, in the opinion of the PI or designee, might confound the results of the study or poses an additional risk to the subject by their participation in the study.
  4. History or presence of alcoholism or drug abuse within the past 2 years prior to Day -1 of Period 1.
  5. History or presence of galactosemia or hypersensitivity or idiosyncratic reaction to the study drugs, related compounds, milk, palm or coconut oil, or soy.
  6. History or presence of diverticular disease, ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease or recurrent diarrhea or gout.
  7. Positive urine drug or alcohol results at screening or check in.
  8. Positive results at screening for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or hepatitis C virus (HCV).
  9. Seated blood pressure is less than 90/40 mmHg or greater than 140/90 mmHg at screening.
  10. Seated heart rate is lower than 40 bpm or higher than 99 bpm at screening.
  11. QTcF interval is > 460 msec or subject has ECG findings deemed abnormal with clinical significance by the PI or designee at screening.
  12. Estimated creatinine clearance ≤ 80 mL/min at screening.
  13. Unable to refrain from or anticipates the use of any drug, including prescription and non prescription medications, herbal remedies, or vitamin supplements beginning 14 days prior to Day -1 of Period 1 and throughout the study. Acetaminophen (up to 2 g per 24 hour period) may be permitted during the study.
  14. Has been on a diet incompatible with the on study diet, in the opinion of the PI or designee, within the 28 days prior to Day -1 of Period 1 and throughout the study.
  15. Is lactose intolerant.
  16. Is unable to complete the meal prior to Hour 0 on Day -1 of Period 1 and prior to dosing on Day 1 of Period 1.
  17. Subject consumed grapefruit or Seville oranges within 14 days prior to Day -1 of Period 1.
  18. Donation of blood or significant blood loss within 56 days prior to Day -1 of Period 1.
  19. Plasma donation within 7 days prior to Day -1 of Period 1.
  20. Participation in another clinical study within 28 days prior to Day -1 of Period 1. The 28 day window will be derived from the date of the last blood collection or dosing, whichever is later, in the previous study to Day -1 of Period 1 of the current study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
estimate of acetoacetate T 1/20-24 hrs

Difference between total ketones T 1/2 and total β hydroxybutyrate T 1/2

estimate of acetoacetate Tmax0-24 hrs

Difference between total ketones Tmax and total β hydroxybutyrate Tmax

total ketones AUC0-t0-24 hrs

The area under the concentration-time curve, from time 0 to the last observed non-zero concentration, as calculated by the linear trapezoidal method.

total ketones Cmax0-24 hrs

Maximum observed concentration

total ketones Kel0-24 hrs

Apparent first-order terminal elimination rate constant calculated from a semi-log plot of the serum concentration versus time curve. The parameter will be calculated by linear least-squares regression analysis using the maximum number of points in the terminal log-linear phase (e.g., there or more non-zero serum concentrations)

total ketones T 1/20-24 hrs

Apparent first-order terminal elimination half-life will be calculated as 0.693/Kel

total ketones AUC0-inf0-24 hrs

The area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 extrapolated to infinity. AUC0-inf is calculated as the sum of AUC0-t plus the ratio of the last measurable serum concentration to the elimination rate constant.

total ketones AUC%extap0-24 hrs

Percent of AUC0-inf extrapolated, represented as (1 - AUC0-t/AUC0-inf)\*100

total ketones Tmax0-24 hrs

Time to reach Cmax. If the value occurs at more than one time points, Tmax is defined as the first time point with this value

β hydroxybutyrate AUC0-t0-24 hrs

The area under the concentration-time curve, from time 0 to the last observed non-zero concentration, as calculated by the linear trapezoidal method.
