ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two forms of the medication Aterixen, both in 100 mg doses: regular tablets and film-coated tablets. The goal is to compare how safe and effective these two types are when given to healthy volunteers. The researchers will observe any side effects and measure how the body absorbs and processes each form of the drug. This information will help determine if both versions of Aterixen work similarly, which is important for ensuring patients receive the same benefits from either form.

To be eligible for this trial, participants need to be healthy volunteers aged 18 to 45 years, without any significant health issues. They must also provide written consent to participate. Participants can expect to take the medication under fasting conditions and will be closely monitored for any side effects during the study. It's worth noting that individuals with certain medical conditions or who have recently taken certain medications may not be able to participate. This trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to gather important information that could help in the treatment of COVID-19.
