Single-site, Open-label, Randomized, Cross-over Study in Healthy Chinese Subjects to Evaluate the Bioequivalence of Single-dose Rotigotine Transdermal Patch Comparing 2 Different Formulations

Single-site, Open-label, Randomized, Cross-over Study in Healthy Chinese Subjects to Evaluate the Bioequivalence of Single-dose Rotigotine Transdermal Patch (2 mg/24 h) Comparing 2 Different Formulations

The primary objective of the study is to establish Bioequivalence (BE) of 2 different formulations of the 2 mg/24 hr (10 cm^2) Rotigotine transdermal patches in Chinese subjects.

Bioequivalence will be concluded if the 90 % Confidence Intervals (CIs) for the ratio Treatment A/Treatment B are fully included in the acceptance range from 0.8-1.25 for AUC(0-t) and AUC, and within the acceptance range from 0.7 to 1.43 for Cmax.

Inclusion Criteria:

• An Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) approved written Informed Consent form is signed and dated by the subject
• Subject is considered reliable and capable of adhering to the protocol, visit schedule, and patch application according to the judgment of the investigator
• Subject is willing and able to comply with all study requirements
• Subject is Chinese (with all 4 grandparents being of Chinese origin, as well), male, and aged between 18 and 40 years (inclusive)
• Subject is healthy (no clinically significant findings in any of the investigations at the Eligibility Assessment (EA))
• Subject has a body mass index between 19 kg/m² and 24 kg/m² (inclusive), and a body weight greater than or equal to 50 kg

• Subject has a history of diagnosis, counseling, or treatment for chronic alcohol or drug abuse within the previous 2 years
• Subject has a known clinically significant allergy or known or suspected clinically significant drug hypersensitivity to any components of the IMP or comparable drugs that, in the opinion of the investigator, could jeopardize or would compromise the subject's ability to participate in this study
• Subject has lifetime history of suicide attempt
• Subject has a history of significant skin hypersensitivity to adhesives or other transdermal products or has recently unresolved contact dermatitis
• Subject has an medical or psychiatric condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, could jeopardize or would compromise the subject's ability to participate in this study
