A Study to Assess the Safety, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of ASP1941 in Healthy Male Taiwanese Subjects

A Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of Single Oral Doses of ASP1941 in Healthy Male Taiwanese Subjects

This study assesses the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ASP1941 orally administered as single doses to healthy adult male Taiwanese subjects.

The subjects will be administered a single dose of ASP1941 or placebo under fasting condition. Plasma and urine levels of ASP1941 and glucose will be measured to investigate pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of ASP1941.
