Pilot Study of OXP001(2) and Brufen in Healthy Subjects

Overview

The study will compare the study drug to an already marketed formulation of prescription strength ibuprofen (Brufen® the reference product) by looking at how the drug is taken up by the body and also by performing a specialist procedure called an endoscopy (or more specifically, a gastroscopy). The safety and tolerability of the study drug will also be assessed. The study will consist of 2 parts involving up to 54 healthy male and female subjects. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive either the study drug or reference product. Part 1 will be a cross over study in which up to 10 subjects will receive a single dose of 800 mg study drug OXP001 or Brufen® on Day 1, then a single dose of 800 mg study drug OXP001 or Brufen® on Day 4. Part 1 will assess bioavailability and involve an interim decision on progression to Part 2. In Part 2, up to 44 subjects will receive a dose of 800 mg OXP001 or Brufen® three times daily for 7 days in order to assess pharmacokinetics and stomach irritation using endoscopy.
