Effect of a high-fat meal on Y-4 tablet levels in healthy adults.

Official title: A Randomized, Open-label, Single-dose, Two-period, Crossover Phase I Clinical Trial With Two Parallel Arms Evaluating the Impact of Food on the Pharmacokinetics of Y-4 Tablets in Healthy Subjects

Run by Beijing Tiantan Hospital · NCT07013773 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This will test whether taking a single Y-4 tablet with a high-fat meal changes how much pregabalin and riluzole get into the bloodstream in healthy adults.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Healthy men and women aged 18–45 with BMI 19–28 kg/m2 and minimum required body weight (≥50 kg for men, ≥45 kg for women) who meet normal renal function and can consent are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

People with medical conditions, pregnant or breastfeeding women, those outside the age/weight/BMI limits, or anyone allergic to pregabalin, riluzole, or tablet excipients are unlikely to benefit from participation.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a single-center, open-label, single-dose, randomized two-period, two-way crossover study enrolling 20 healthy adults. Each subject will receive one Y-4 tablet (pregabalin 112.5 mg and riluzole 28.125 mg) under both fasted and fed (high-fat breakfast) conditions with a 7-day washout between periods. Participants are randomized to the sequence AB or BA so each person serves as their own control, and blood samples will be taken over time to measure pharmacokinetic parameters. The goal is to compare drug absorption and exposure for the two conditions to inform dosing instructions.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the results could guide clear dosing instructions about whether Y-4 should be taken with or without food to ensure expected drug levels.

How similar studies have gone: Food-effect studies exist for the individual drugs—riluzole has documented reduced absorption with food while pregabalin shows minimal food effect—so parts of the expected result are known but the combination formulation has not been reported.
