A Pharmacokinetic Study of Lurasidone After Single Oral Administration in Healthy Subjects

To evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of lurasidone after single oral administration of different doses in healthy Chinese subjects.

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of lurasidone after single oral administration of different doses in healthy Chinese subjects.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Schizophrenia
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: placebo; Drug: 20mg lurasidone; Drug: 40mg lurasidone; Drug: 80mg lurasidone

Detailed Description

Single administration, double-blinded, placebo-controlled (3 subjects in each group will take placebo) and 3 dose groups (20 mg, 40 mg and 80 mg). There are three groups which are 20mg lurasidone or placebo, 40mg lurasidone or placebo and 80mg lurasidone or placebo.

This study comprises a screening period (between signing of the informed consent form and Day -2), baseline period (Day -1), treatment period (Days 1-3) and ending of study examination period (Days 8-11 after the last sample collection for PK evaluation).

Based on the examination results during screening period, various physical and laboratory examinations performed 1 day before medication (Day-1 ) and before administration of study drug on the medication day, there are certain medical concerns on subject's health status in principal investigator's or study supervising physician's opinions (certain treatment or medical observation are deemed necessary).
2. Subjects with past diabetic history.
3. Subjects has an HbA1c level of >6.2% at screening.

11. Subjects have history of drug abuse or positive urine drug tests.
12. Subjects with positive immunologic test results.
13. Average amount of daily smoking>20 cigarettes.
14. Subjects have taken other study drugs within 3 months (Day_-90~Day 1) before medication.

19. Subjects are unwilling to abstain from vigorous exercise from Day_-1 until discharge.
20. Other subjects who are unsuitable to participate in this study in principal investigator's or study supervising physician's opinions.
