Trial design

open-label, none/not specified-controlled, crossover, adaptive Phase IV trial in Netherlands.

Open Label
Yes
Comparator
None/Not specified
Adaptive
True, adaptive elements: iterative PK-model-based dose adjustment; after data of first 4 subjects the preliminary PK model will be updated to confirm predicted steady-state concentrations and, if necessary, dose adjustments will be made for remaining subjects; step-by-step approach continued until all subjects' data included in final model development.
Crossover
Yes
Single Multiple Or Escalation Dose Combined
Yes
