Aims: This double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was designed to evaluate the pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of prasugrel (CS-747, LY640315), a novel thienopyridine P2Y(12) ADP receptor antagonist compared with clopidogrel, during multiple oral dosing in healthy subjects.

Methods: Thirty subjects received placebo, prasugrel 5 mg, 10 mg, or 20 mg, or clopidogrel 75 mg orally, daily for 10 days. Platelet aggregation, bleeding time, and prasugrel metabolites were measured and adverse events were recorded.

We assessed the tolerability, pharmacodynamics as measured by inhibition of platelet aggregation (IPA), and pharmacokinetics of prasugrel (CS-747, LY640315), a novel thienopyridine antiplatelet agent in healthy volunteers. Twenty-four subjects were randomized into four groups of six in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. One subject in each group received placebo and five subjects received prasugrel orally at single doses of 2.

Ritalin, an immediate release form of racemic methylphenidate hydrochloride, has been available in the USA since 1955 and is used for the treatment of ADHD. The objective of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of modified-release methylphenidate (highest single dose), Ritalin LA, when administered under fasting condition, with a high-fat breakfast, and when sprinkled on applesauce in healthy adult subjects. Blood samples were drawn for 24 h following a 40 mg oral administration.
