A Study in Healthy Subjects to Assess the Multiple- Dose Pharmacokinetics of Three AF-219 Formulations
The purpose of this study is to compare the multiple dose pharmacokinetics (PK) of three
gefapixant (AF-219) formulations; to assess the effect of Omeprazole on the multiple dose PK
of three gefapixant formulations; and, to assess the safety and tolerability of gefapixant.
gefapixant (AF-219) formulations; to assess the effect of Omeprazole on the multiple dose PK
of three gefapixant formulations; and, to assess the safety and tolerability of gefapixant.
