Non-blinded, Randomized, Single Center, Single Dose, Cross-over Study to Assess the Effect of a High Calorie/High Fat Meal on the Pharmacokinetics of Four 30 mg Nifurtimox Tablets Taken Orally by Adult Male and Female Patients Suffering From Chronic Chagas' Disease

NCT02606864 Phase 1 COMPLETED

This study will evaluate the effect of food on the absorption of the drug as well as safety and tolerability of the novel 30 mg tablet (administered as 120 mg dose) in adults suffering from chronic Chagas' disease when administered after a high-fat / high-calorie test meal (American breakfast) compared to a fasting state. This study is required as part of the clinical development of an age appropriate pediatric oral dosage form for the treatment of Chagas' disease in endemic countries according to the recommendations provided by current international guidelines (EMA Guideline on Clinical Development of Medicinal Products, EMA Note for Guidance on Oral Dosage Forms).
