Actual Enrollment : 14 participants
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Basic Science
Official Title: A Phase 1, Randomized, Open-Label, Two-Way Crossover Study To Evaluate The Steady-State Effect Of Dimebon [PF-01913539] On The Single-Dose Pharmacokinetics Of The CYP2D6 Substrate Dextromethorphan In Healthy Subjects
Study Start Date : November 2008
Actual Primary Completion Date : January 2009
Actual Study Completion Date : January 2009


Arm Intervention/treatment
Regimen A (Reference) Drug: Dextromethorphan
Dextromethorphan HCl 30 syrup single dose

Experimental: Regimen B (Test) Drug: Dimebon + Dextromethorphan
Dimebon 20 mg tablets given three times daily for 14 days plus Dextromethorphan HCl 30 syrup single dose administered on Day 12




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Dextromethorphan exposure in combination with Dimebon 20 mg TID relative to Dextromethorphan exposure alone [ Time Frame: Day 12 ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Safety and Tolerability (Adverse Events, Vital Signs, Clinical Labs, Electrocardiograms) [ Time Frame: Day 15 ]
  2. Dextrorphan (the metabolite of dextromethorphan) exposure [ Time Frame: Day 12 ]
