Brief summary: This was a randomized, 2-period, 2-treatment-sequence crossover study to determine the relative bioavailability of pacritinib following administration as a 400 mg oral dose of four 100 mg pacritinib capsules and an 80 mg dose of an oral solution and to characterize the PK and major human metabolites of pacritinib.

Detailed description: Twelve healthy subjects will be enrolled in the study (6 subjects per sequence) at a single clinical site with the intent that 12 subjects complete Periods 1 and 2 in the study. Subjects will be randomly assigned to 2 possible sequences (6 subjects per sequence) on Day 1 of Period 1. Subjects will be randomly assigned to 2 possible sequences. Each subject received 2 treatments (a 400 mg oral dose of four 100 mg pacritinib capsules and an 80 mg oral solution dose of pacritinib) in a 2-period crossover design. Each treatment will be administered as monotherapy during 1 of 2 treatment periods with a 7-day washout period between administrations of each study medication.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. males or females, between 18 and 55 years of age, inclusive;
2. BMI between 18.5 and 32.0 kg/m2, inclusive;
3. in good health, determined by no clinically significant findings from medical history, physical examination, and vital signs;
4. normal 12-lead ECG or ECG findings (including RR, PR, and QT intervals; QT interval corrected using Fridericia's formula \[QTcF\]; QRS duration; and ventricular heart rate) deemed not clinically significant;
5. clinical laboratory evaluations (including clinical chemistry panel \[fasted at least 10 hours\], CBC, and UA) within the reference range for the test laboratory, unless deemed not clinically significant by the Investigator in consultation with the Sponsor;
6. negative test for selected drugs of abuse (including alcohol) at Screening and at Check-in (Day -1 of Period 1);
7. negative hepatitis panel (including HBsAg and anti-HCV) and negative HIV antibody screens;
8. females of childbearing potential must be non-pregnant and non-lactating, and agree to use one of the following forms of contraception from the time of signing the informed consent or 10 days prior to Check-in (Day -1) of Period 1 until 30 days after the final dose administration: non-hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) with spermicide; female condom with spermicide; contraceptive sponge with spermicide; intravaginal system (eg, NuvaRing®); diaphragm with spermicide; cervical cap with spermicide; male sexual partner who agrees to use a male condom with spermicide; sterile sexual partner; or abstinence. Oral, implantable, transdermal, or injectable hormonal contraceptives may not be used from the time of signing the informed consent or 10 days prior to Check-in (Day -1) of Period 1 until 14 days after the final dose administration. For all females, the pregnancy test result must be negative at Screening and Check-in (Day -1) of Period 1. Females not of childbearing potential must be postmenopausal for at least 1 year or surgically sterile (eg, tubal ligation, hysterectomy) for at least 90 days;
9. males will be surgically sterile (ie, vasectomy, documented in the medical record by a physician) or agree to use, from Check-in (Day -1) of Period 1 until 90 days following Study Completion/ET, 1 of the following approved methods of contraception: male condom with spermicide; sterile sexual partner; or use by female sexual partner of an IUD with spermicide, a female condom with spermicide, a contraceptive sponge with spermicide, an intravaginal system, a diaphragm with spermicide, a cervical cap with spermicide, or oral, implantable, transdermal, or injectable contraceptives. Subjects must agree to refrain from sperm donation from Check-in (Day -1) of Period 1 until 90 days following Study Completion/ET;
10. able to comprehend and willing to sign an Informed Consent Form (ICF).

Exclusion Criteria:

1. prior ingestion of pacritinib;
2. history or clinical manifestation of clinically significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic (eg, hepatitis), renal, hematologic, gastrointestinal (eg, celiac disease, peptic ulcer, gastroesophageal reflux, inflammatory bowel disease), metabolic, allergic, dermatological, neurological, or psychiatric disorder (as determined by the Investigator in consultation with the Sponsor; appendectomy and cholecystectomy are not considered to be clinically significant events);
3. significant abnormalities in liver function tests (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, or alkaline phosphatase \>1.5 × upper limit of normal \[ULN\]; gamma-glutamyl transferase \>2 × ULN; or total bilirubin \>1.3 × ULN) or kidney function tests (serum creatinine \> ULN) that are considered clinically significant by the Investigator, in consultation with the Sponsor;
4. history of malignancy, except the following: cancers determined to be cured or in remission for ≥5 years, curatively resected basal cell or squamous cell skin cancers, cervical cancer in situ, or resected colonic polyps;
5. history of significant hypersensitivity, intolerance, or allergy to any drug compound, food, or other substance, unless approved by the Investigator in consultation with the Sponsor;
