Pharmacokinetics Study Comparing Naproxen Sodium Extended Release and Naprelan

An Open Label, Randomized, Two-Way Crossover Trial to Compare the Pharmacokinetic Parameters of an Extended- Release Naproxen Sodium Tablet Relative to Naprelan® Tablets Following Single Dose Administration Under Fasted Conditions

To compare the pharmacokinetic profile of the proposed extended- release tablet of naproxen sodium 660 mg relative to two tablets of Naprelan 500 mg following single dose administration for 36 hours under fasted conditions

Inclusion Criteria:

• Healthy male and female subjects between 18 to 55 years of age inclusive with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of approximately 18 to 30 kg/m2; and a total body weight >50 kg (110 lbs)

• Female subjects of childbearing potential must be using a medically acceptable form of birth control for at least 1 month prior to screening (3 months on oral contraceptives), e.g., oral or patch contraceptives, intrauterine device, Depo-Provera®, or a double barrier and have a negative pregnancy test at Screening and Day 0 for each Dosing Period. Female subjects of non-childbearing potential must be amenorrheic for at least 2 years or had a hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy
• Be willing to participate in all scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests and other trial procedures according to the clinical protocol

Exclusion Criteria:

• History of hypersensitivity to aspirin (ASA), naproxen sodium, or acetaminophen, and similar pharmacological agents or components of the products

• Loss of blood in excess of 500 ml within 56 days of the first dose of trial treatment (e.g., donation, plasmapheresis or injury)
• History of gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation, related to previous NSAID therapy. Active, or history of recurrent peptic ulcer/hemorrhage (two or more distinct episodes of proven ulceration or bleeding)
• Evidence or history of clinically significant hematological, renal, endocrine, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hepatic, psychiatric, neurologic diseases or malignancies
• Positive alcohol or drug test at Screening and on Day 0 of each Dosing Period
• Have taken any medications (except acceptable forms of birth control) within 10 days prior to dosing or throughout the trial, unless in the opinion of the Investigator and the Sponsor, the medication will not interfere with the trial procedures, data integrity, or compromise the safety of the subject
• Have taken ASA, ASA-containing products, acetaminophen (acetyl-para-amino-phenol or APAP) or any NSAID (OTC or prescription) 7 days prior to dosing or during the treatment period, other than trial treatment
