be study between a capsule and a sachet formulation of d961h by pharmacodynamics in japanese healthy male subjects

Conditions: Gastric Ulcer; Duodenal Ulcer; Anastomotic Ulcer; Reflux Esophagitis; Etc.

Summary: the purpose of this study is; to investigate whether a d961h sachet 20 mg is bioequivalent to a d961h hpmc capsule 20 mg by the assessment of percentage of time with intragastric ph\>4. to compare a d961h sachet 20 mg with a d961h hpmc capsule 20 mg by the assessment of percentage of time with intragastric ph\>3 during 24 hours and 24-hour median ph. to compare pk properties of a d961h sachet 20 mg with those of d961h hpmc capsule 20 mg. to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a d961h sachet 20 mg and d961h hpmc capsule 20 mg.

the purpose of this study is; to investigate whether a pellets based sachet formulation of d961h 20 mg (d961h sachet 20 mg) is bioequivalent to a commercial hpmc capsule of d961h 20 mg (d961h hpmc capsule 20 mg) after repeated oral doses by the assessment of percentage of time with intragastric ph\>4 during 24 hours after dose on day 5. to compare a d961h sachet 20 mg with a d961h hpmc capsule 20 mg after repeated oral doses by the assessment of percentage of time with intragastric ph\>3 during 24 hours and 24-hour median ph after dose on day 5 to compare pk properties of a d961h sachet 20 mg with those of d961h hpmc capsule 20 mg after repeated oral doses by the assessment of aucτ, cmax,ss, auc0-t,ss, mrt, tmax,ss, and t1/2,ss of esomeprazole after dose on day 5. to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a d961h sachet 20 mg and d961h hpmc capsule 20 mg by the assessment of adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, blood pressure (bp), pulse rate and body temperature.
