An Electrophysiological Study Of E2014 In Healthy Adult Male Japanese And Caucasian Subjects

An Electrophysiological Study Of E2014 In Healthy Adult Male Japanese And Caucasian Subjects

To evaluate inter-ethnic similarity in pharmacodynamics between Japanese and Caucasian healthy adult male subjects by comparing electrophysiological reactions after administering E2014 to extensor digitorum brevis muscle (EDB).

Inclusion criteria:

1. Participants aged between 20 and 44 years at the time of obtaining informed consent.
2. Participants whose M wave amplitude potential (between baseline and negative peak) in the EDB by stimulating peroneal nerve in the foot joints is 1 mV or more during electrophysiological examinations at the times of screening and immediately before administration.
3. Participants who are judged to be eligible for study entry by an investigator or subinvestigator at screening and at immediately before pre-treatment medical examination.
4. Participants who are given a full explanation about the objective and details of this study before starting screening and give written consent based on their free will.
