About

Full description

Orvepitant is a highly potent and selective neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor antagonist currently in development for the treatment of depression and anxiety.

This study is an open-label, randomised, single dose study to determine the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of 2 different formulations of orvepitant 60 mg and the effect of food in 15 Healthy Volunteers. According to a cross over design, in three different occasions, each subject will receive the "old" formulation of orvepitant in fasted condition and the "new" formulation in fasted condition and after a FDA High-Fat Breakfast. Subjects will be screened within 21 days of first treatment. On each dosing occasion, subjects will be admitted to the clinic on Day-1 and will remain until Day 2; they will be also asked to return to the site 48 and 72 hours after each dosing for the PK blood sample collection. The wash-out period between each dosing occasion will be at least 5 days and subjects will be asked to return to the site 7-14 days after the administration of the last dose of orvepitant for a follow-up visit.
