to assess the bioavailability of tk-254rx in comparison with oral flurbiprofen tablets and the adhesion of tk-254rx in healthy subjects

Conditions: Healthy

Summary: this study is a single-center, open-label, multiple-dose trial performed in a 2-period, 2- sequence-cross-over design in healthy volunteers. the primary purpose of this study is to assess non-superiority of the bioavailability of tk-254rx compared with that of a marketed oral flurbiprofen-containing tablet formulation in healthy volunteers in a 2-period, 2- sequence-cross-over design and evaluate adhesion of tk-254rx. secondary purpose is to assess safety of tk-254rx and residual amount of the patch.
