September 11, 2014 updated by: UCB Pharma SA

A Single Center Open-label, Randomized, Single-dose, 3-way Crossover Study to Compare the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Lacosamide Administered as Oral Tablet or Intravenous Infusion in Healthy Japanese Subjects

This study will be conducted to compare the pharmacokinetics of Lacosamide (LCM) following a single 30-minute or 60-minute iv infusion of LCM 200 mg with those following a single oral dose of LCM 200 mg in healthy Japanese subjects.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
