ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a medication called Aprepitant, which is administered through an injection. The main goal is to understand how the body processes this medication in healthy adults. The study will involve 24 participants who will be divided into two groups and will receive the medication in two different cycles, with breaks in between to clear the drug from their systems.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be healthy men and women aged 18 to 45 years, who are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and who can agree to use effective contraception for the duration of the study. They should also have a body mass index (BMI) within a specific range. Those with serious health issues, allergies to certain substances, or who have used specific medications or substances recently will not qualify. Participants can expect to visit the study site for the drug administration and follow-up tests, and they will be closely monitored throughout the trial to ensure their safety.
