Pharmacokinetics of Y-4 Tablets With Pregabalin Capsules and Riluzole Tablets in Chinese Healthy Subject

An Open-label, Single-dose, Three-period Phase 1 Study to Compare the Pharmacokinetics of Y-4 Tablets With Pregabalin Capsules and Riluzole Tablets in Healthy Subjects Under Fasted Condition

Y-4 is a new fixed-dose combination drug product containing two active ingredients of pregabalin and riluzole.

The objective of the trial is to compare pharmacokinetic characteristics of Y-4 tablets with pregabalin capsules (Lyrica®) and riluzole tablets (Rilutek®) in Chinese healthy adult subjects after single oral administration under fasted condition.

This study will be an open-label, single-dose, three-period study in healthy adult subjects. A total of 10 subjects (half men and half women) will be enrolled in this study to be administered with Y-4 tablets, pregabalin capsules and riluzole tablets at three periods with a 7-day washout.

Periods and corresponding treatments are planned as following:

Period 1: Y-4 tablet, one tablet, 112.5 mg/28.125 mg (pregabalin/riluzole) Period 2: pregabalin capsule, one capsule, 75 mg/capsule Period 3: riluzole tablet, one tablet, 50 mg/tablet

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Healthy adult male and female subjects, 18-45 years of age (including both ends).
