Detailed Description
This is a randomized, open-label, 4-way crossover, single dose study in healthy male volunteers to evaluate the pharmacokinetic profiles of paliperidone ER tablets with slow, target, and fast in vitro...
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Must agree to use an efficient method of birth control as deemed appropriate by the investigator and to not donate sperm during the study and for 3 months after receiving the last dose of study drug
- Body mass index (weight \[kg\]/height \[m2\]) between 18 and 30 kg/m2 (inclusive), and body weight not less than 50 kg
- Blood pressure (after the volunteer is supine for 5 minutes) between 100 and 140 mmHg systolic, inclusive, and between 50 and 90 mmHg diastolic. Pulse rate measured over 60 seconds should be between 40 and 100 beats per minute (bpm)
- Non-smoker
Exclusion
- History of or current significant medical illness including (but not limited to) cardiac arrhythmias or other cardiac disease, hematologic disease, coagulation disorders (including any abnormal bleeding or blood dyscrasias), lipid abnormalities, significant pulmonary disease, including bronchospastic respiratory disease, diabetes mellitus, renal or hepatic insufficiency, thyroid disease, neurologic or psychiatric disease, infection, or any other illness that the investigator considers should exclude the volunteer
- History or presence of circumstances that may increase the risk of the occurrence of torsade de pointes and/or sudden death in association with the use of drugs that prolong the QTc interval, including: bradycardia (heart rate \< 40 bpm on the ECG), clinically significant abnormality on the ECG, demonstration of repeated prolonged QTcF \> 450 ms (QTc interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula), as measured on more than one ECG (either during screening, or from prior medical record)
- The following cardiac conditions: sick sinus syndrome, complete AV block, congestive heart failure, polymorphic ventricular tachycardia
- Clinically relevant hypocalcemia, hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia
- Presence of congenital prolongation of the QT interval (Romano-Ward Syndrome, Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome)
- History of any cancer, with the exception of basal cell carcinoma: Clinically significant abnormal values for hematology, clinical chemistry or urinalysis at screening or at admission to the study center, in the opinion of the investigator
- Clinically significant abnormality on physical examination, in the opinion of the investigator
- At screening, has signs of orthostatic hypotension defined as a decrease in systolic ( \> 20 mmHg) or diastolic (\> 10 mmHg) blood pressure after standing for at least 2 minutes, that is associated with an increase in pulse rate of \>15 bpm compared with supine measurements
- Use of any prescription or nonprescription medication (including vitamins and herbal supplements), except for paracetamol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen, within 14 days before the first dose of the study drug is scheduled
