Single-centre, open-label, randomized, two-sequence, two-way crossover study. The study consisted of two consecutive single-dose treatment periods separated by a washout period of 10 to 14 days or more. In Group 1 the volunteers received a single oral dose of 25 mg OPC. In Group 2 the volunteers received a single oral dose of 50 mg OPC

  • Male or female subjects aged 18 to 45 years, inclusive;
  • Body mass index (BMI) between 19 and 30 kg/m²;
  • Healthy as determined by pre-study medical history, physical examination, vital signs, complete neurological examination, and 12-lead ECG; - Negative tests for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), anti-hepatitis C vírus (anti-HCV) antibodies, and anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1/-2 antibodies at screening;
  • Clinical laboratory test results clinically acceptable at screening and admission to each treatment period;
  • Negative screen for alcohol and drugs of abuse at screening and admission to each treatment period;
  • Non-smokers or ex-smokers for at least 3 months;
  • Able and willing to give written informed consent;
  • If female: She was not of childbearing potential by reason of surgery or, if of childbearing potential, she used an effective nonhormonal method of contraception (intrauterine device or intrauterine system; condom or occlusive cap [diaphragm or cervical or vault caps] with spermicidal foam or gel or film or cream or suppository; true abstinence; or vasectomized male partner, provided that he was the sole partner of that subject) for all the duration of the study; and she had a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and a negative urine pregnancy test on Day -1 of each treatment period.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • A clinically relevant history or presence of respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, haematological, lymphatic, neurological, cardiovascular, psychiatric, musculoskeletal, genitourinary, immunological, dermatological, endocrine, connective tissue diseases or disorders;
  • A clinically relevant surgical history;
  • Any clinically relevant abnormality in the coagulation tests;
  • Any clinically relevant abnormality in the liver function tests. If the subject had a borderline clinically relevant abnormality that was not considered clinically significant, a retest could be done after discussion with the sponsor's medical monitor;

  • Acute gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, heartburn) at the time of screening or admission to each treatment period;
  • Used medicines within 2 weeks of admission to first period that could have affected the subject's safety or other study assessments in the investigator's opinion;
  • Previously received OPC. Previous use of OPC was documented by questioning the subjects;
  • Used any investigational drug or participated in any clinical trial within 90 days prior to screening
  • Participated in more than 2 clinical trials within the 12 months prior to screening;
  • Donated or received any blood or blood products within the 3 months prior to screening;
  • Vegetarians, vegans or have medical dietary restrictions;
  • Not able to communicate reliably with the investigator;
  • Unlikely to co-operate with the requirements of the study; unwilling or unable to give written informed consent;
  • If female: she was pregnant or breast-feeding; she had a positive serum pregnancy test; she was of childbearing potential and did not use an accepted effective contraceptive method or she used oral contraceptives.
