Study Evaluating the Safety and Tolerability of a New Intravenous Formulation of MOA-728 in Healthy Subjects

A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multiple-Dose, 2-Period Crossover Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of a New Intravenous Formulation of MOA-728 in Comparison With the Current Formulation in Healthy Subjects

The primary objective is to determine the safety and tolerability of the new IV formulation versus the current formulation of MOA-728 focusing on the theoretical potential for infusion-related and formulation-related complications.

• Subjects aged 65 to 80 years should be healthy, but may be enrolled with a chronic illness, if such illness is well controlled and does not interfere with the primary objective of the study. Certain concomitant medications will be allowed for the treatment of these conditions and are listed in the Concomitant Treatment section.
