A Study in Healthy Subjects to Assess the Effect of Intragastric pH and Fasting on the Multiple-Dose Pharmacokinetics of AF-219
The purpose of this study is to: determine the effect of stomach pH on the multiple dose
pharmacokinetics (PK) of gefapixant (AF-219); assess the effect of multiple doses of
gefapixant on various sensory assessments; and, assess the safety and tolerability of
gefapixant.
