A Study In Adult Healthy Volunteers To Asses Once Daily (QD) Dosing With The Selected Age-Appropriate Modified Release (MR) Formulations

A PHASE 1, RANDOMIZED, OPEN LABEL, PARTIAL CROSSOVER STUDY TO EVALUATE THE PHARMACOKINETICS AND SAFETY OF THREE AGE-APPROPRIATE MODIFIED RELEASE FORMULATIONS AND THE IMMEDIATE RELEASE SOLUTION OF TOFACITINIB IN HEALTHY ADULT VOLUNTEERS

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety of an age-appropriate tofacitinib Modified Release (MR) formulation with varying level of enteric coating. The effect of food on the PK of age-appropriate tofacitinib MR formulation with the lowest and higher levels of enteric coating will also be assessed.
