A Study in Healthy Subjects to Assess the Multiple-Dose Pharmacokinetics of Two AF-219 Formulations

The purpose of this study is to compare the multiple dose pharmacokinetics (PK) of two
gefapixant (AF-219) formulations; to assess the effect of omeprazole on the multiple dose PK
of two gefapixant formulations; and, to assess the safety and tolerability of gefapixant.
