The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relative bioavailability of apremilast once-daily formulation relative to a twice daily formulation when administered as multiple doses (Part 1), and when administered as a single dose under fasting and fed conditions (Part 2). Information on safety and tolerability will also be obtained.
Part 1: This is an open-label, randomized, two-period, two-sequence, crossover study in healthy subjects. The study will consist of a screening phase, a baseline phase, two treatment periods, and a follow-up phone call. Each period will be ten days in duration including 7 days of dosing and sample collection for up to 72 hours post Day 7 morning dose. There will be a washout between period 1 and period 2. Part 2: This is an open-label, randomized, four-period, four-sequence crossover study to evaluate the PK and exposure of apremilast following single dose administration of different formulations of apremilast. Part 2 will consist of a screening phase, baseline, four treatment periods, and a follow-up phone call. Each period will be four days in duration for dosing (Day 1) and sample collection for up to 72 hours post Day 1.

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events
This platform is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional.
An adverse event (AE) is any noxious, unintended, or untoward medical occurrence that may appear or worsen in a participant during the course of a study. It may be a new intercurrent illness, a worsening concomitant illness, an injury, or any concomitant impairment of the subject's health, including laboratory test values, regardless of etiology. A serious AE is any AE occurring at any dose that: * Resulted in death; * Was life-threatening; * Required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; * Resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; * Was a congenital anomaly/birth defect; * Constituted an important medical event. The Investigator determined the relationship between the administration of study drug and the occurrence of each AE as Not Suspected or Suspected as defined in the Protocol.
Time frame: Part 1: Up to 7 days after last dose in each treatment period (14 days); Part 2: Up to 7 days after each dose.
