About

The primary goal of this clinical trial is to compare pharmacokinetic characteristics of Y-4 tablets with pregabalin capsules and riluzole tablets in the US healthy adult participants after single oral administration under fasted condition.

The secondary goal of the trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Y-4 tablets, pregabalin capsules and riluzole tablets in the US healthy adult participants.
