Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are healthy adults aged 18-45 with a specific weight and BMI range.

Probably not a fit

Patients with known allergies to the study medications or those with dietary restrictions may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This trial evaluates the pharmacokinetics of a new fixed-dose combination drug, Y-4, which contains pregabalin and riluzole, in healthy adult subjects. The study is designed as an open-label, single-dose, three-period assessment where participants will receive Y-4 tablets, pregabalin capsules, and riluzole tablets in a controlled manner. A total of 10 healthy adults will be enrolled, with a washout period of 7 days between each treatment to ensure accurate comparison of drug absorption and metabolism.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to a more effective treatment option for conditions treated by pregabalin and riluzole.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel, similar pharmacokinetic studies have shown promise in understanding drug interactions and efficacy.
