Participant Flow

This study was conducted at one clinical research site in the United States.

The study consisted of 2 periods. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two treatment sequences; Fasted then Fed or Fed then Fasted. Each participant was to receive 1 dose of apremilast under fasted conditions and 1 dose of apremilast under fed conditions in each period, respectively, depending on their sequence assignment. There was a 5 to 10 day washout period between each dose.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 of each treatment period at pre-dose, and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 5, 8, 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours after dosing.

Population: The pharmacokinetic (PK) population included all participants who received at least 1 dose of apremilast and had evaluable PK profiles.

Plasma concentrations of apremilast were determined by using a validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assay.

Population: The PK population included all participants who received at least 1 dose of apremilast and had evaluable PK profiles.

Plasma concentrations of apremilast were determined by using a validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assay. AUC0-t was calculated using the linear trapezoidal method (linear up log down) when concentrations were increasing and the logarithmic trapezoidal method when concentrations were decreasing.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From first dose of study drug in Period 1 up to 5 to 10 days after dosing in Period 2, approximately 20 days.

Population: The safety population included all participants who received at least 1 dose of apremilast.

An adverse event (AE) was any noxious, unintended, or untoward medical occurrence that appeared or worsened in a participant during the course of this study. It could have been a new intercurrent illness, a worsening concomitant illness, an injury, or any concomitant impairment of the participant's health, including laboratory test values, regardless of etiology. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in the frequency or intensity of a preexisting condition) was considered an AE.
