A Single-Dose, Randomized, Open-Label, 2-Way Crossover Study to Evaluate the Dose-Proportionality, Safety, and Tolerability of TNX-102 SL (Cyclobenzaprine HCl Sublingual Tablets) in Healthy Japanese and Chinese Subjects

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Healthy Subjects (HS)

In brief

Primary Objectives: To characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile and dose proportionality of cyclobenzaprine and norcyclobenzaprine following administration of 2.8 mg and 5.6 mg of TNX-102 SL (either one or two 2.8 mg tablets) under fasting conditions in Japanese and Chinese subjects. To retrospectively compare PK data from the Japanese and Chinese study subjects with existing data from a non-Asian Phase 1 study investigating the administration of 2.8 mg and 5.6 mg of TNX-102 SL under fasting conditions. Secondary Objective: To assess the safety and tolerability of TNX-102 SL (2.8 mg and 5.6 mg) in healthy Japanese and Chinese subjects.
