About

This is a Phase 1, randomized, single-dose, double-blinded, 4-period, crossover study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of mitapivat in healthy adult participants under fasted and fed (high-fat meal) conditions. Secondary objectives include evaluating the effect of mitapivat on electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters, including concentration-QT interval corrected for heart rate (C-QTc) analysis under fasted conditions. The study will include a 28-day screening period, four 7-day treatment periods. Participants will receive a follow-up telephone call within 28 (±1) days after the last dose of study drug.

Enrollment: 32 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 55 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers
