Lofexidine Food Effect Study in Healthy Volunteers

This is a single-dose, open-label, randomized, two-period, two-way crossover, food-effect
study in which 12 healthy adult subjects will receive two separate single-dose
administrations of lofexidine 400 μg (2 x 200 μg tablet). In one study period, subjects will
be administered the study treatment following an overnight fast of at least 10 hours. In the
other study period subjects will fast overnight for at least 10 hours, then begin consuming
an FDA standard high-calorie, high-fat breakfast meal 30 minutes prior to administration of
the study drug.

Subjects will be assigned numbers in an ascending order, based on successful completion of
the screening process.

Subjects will receive each of the treatments listed below in randomized fashion during the
two treatment periods:

Treatment A: Test Formulation Lofexidine 400 μg Dose = 2 x 200 μg tablet administered under
fasted conditions US WorldMeds, LLC

Treatment B: Test Formulation Lofexidine 400 μg Dose = 2 x 200 μg tablet administered under
fed conditions US WorldMeds, LLC

Each drug administration will be separated by a washout period of at least seven days. Each
dose will be orally administered along with 240 mL (8 fl. oz.) of room temperature tap water.
After dosing, no food will be allowed until 4 hours post-dose. Except for the 240 mL of room
temperature tap water provided with the dose, no water may be consumed for 1 hour prior
through 1 hour post dose. Meals will be the same and scheduled at approximately the same
times relative to dose for each study period.

In order to prevent adverse events (AEs) of hypotension, all subjects will have intravenous
(IV) access established at each check-in and will be administered normal saline (NS) at a
continuous rate of 150 cc/hour until 1 hour prior to each dose administration. The IV
catheter will remain in place for at least 12 hours postdose so that additional fluid can be
administered if needed. If symptoms or clinically significant hypotension persist, IV fluid
administration may continue for more than 12 hours, until it is no longer needed as
determined by the Investigator.

Subjects who withdraw from the study may be replaced. During each study period, 6 mL blood
samples will be obtained prior to each dosing and following each dose at selected times
through 48 hours post-dose. A total of 28 pharmacokinetic blood samples will be collected
from each subject, 14 samples in each study period. Plasma pharmacokinetic samples will be
analyzed for lofexidine using a validated analytical method. Appropriate pharmacokinetic
parameters will be calculated for each formulation using non-compartmental methods. In
addition, blood will be drawn and urine will be collected for clinical laboratory testing at
screening and at the end of the study.

participation:

- Subject must be a male or non-pregnant, non-breastfeeding female.

- Subject must be between 18 and 50 years of age (inclusive).

- Subject's Body Mass Index (BMI) must be between 18 and 30 kg/m2 (inclusive), and
subject must weigh a minimum of 50 kg (110 lbs).

screening until 14 days after completion of the study:

oophorectomy) at least 6 months prior to dosing

- Double barrier (diaphragm with spermicide; condoms with spermicide)

- IUD (intrauterine device)

- Abstinence (must agree to use a double barrier method if they become sexually
active during the study)

- Implanted or intrauterine hormonal contraceptives in use for at least 6
consecutive months prior to study dosing and throughout the study duration

- Oral, patch, and injected contraceptives or vaginal hormonal device (i.e.
NuvaRing®) in use for at least 3 consecutive months prior to study dosing and
throughout the study duration.

- Subject must voluntarily consent to participate in this study and provide their
written informed consent prior to start of any study-specific procedures.

- Subject is willing and able to remain in the study unit for the entire duration of
each confinement period.

- Subject is willing and able to consume the entire high-calorie, high-fat breakfast
meal in the designated timeframe required during the assigned study period.

- Subject's vital signs must be within the following ranges to be included: Vital signs
measured sitting after 3 minutes rest; heart rate: 40-90 bpm; systolic BP: 110-140
mmHg; diastolic BP: 60-90 mmHg. Out-of-range vital signs may be repeated once. Predose
vital signs will be assessed by the Principal Investigator or designee (e.g., a
medically qualified sub-investigator) prior to study drug administration. The
Principal Investigator or designee will verify the eligibility of each subject with
out-of-range vital signs and document approval prior to dosing.

Exclusion Criteria:

- History or presence of clinically significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic,
renal, hematologic, gastrointestinal, endocrine, immunologic, dermatologic,
neurologic, oncologic, or psychiatric disease or any other condition that, in the
opinion of the Investigator, would jeopardize the safety of the subject or the
validity of the study results.

- Has a clinically significant abnormal finding on the physical exam, medical history,
electrocardiogram (ECG), or clinical laboratory results at screening.

- History of any syncopal episode or seizures.

- Presence of acute disease state (eg, nausea, vomiting, fever, diarrhea) within 7 days
prior to scheduled dose administration.

- History or presence of allergic or adverse response to lofexidine or related drugs.

- Has been on a significantly abnormal diet during the 4 weeks preceding the first dose
