Relative Bioavailability of Omaveloxolone When Capsules Are Sprinkled Over and Mixed in Applesauce Compared With Administration as Intact Omaveloxolone Capsules: A Phase 1, Randomized, Open-Label, Single-Dose, Crossover Study in Healthy Adults

Hynes SM, Goldsberry A, Henneghan PD, et al. Relative bioavailability of omaveloxolone when capsules are sprinkled over and mixed in applesauce compared with administration as intact omaveloxolone capsules: A phase 1, randomized, open-label, single-dose, crossover study in healthy adults.

Some patients with FA may have oropharyngeal dysphagia or difficulty swallowing whole capsules; therefore, alternate method(s) of administration are needed. A Phase 1 clinical study in 32 healthy volunteers evaluated the relative bioavailability, safety, and tolerability of a single dose of omaveloxolone when capsule contents were sprinkled on and mixed in applesauce compared to when taken as intact capsules. Palatability when sprinkled on and mixed in applesauce was assessed with a questionnaire.
