Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC(0-144h)) of ponesimod
7 Days

Blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis will be taken immediately prior to dosing with ponesimod, and at various time points up to 7 days after dosing. AUC(0-144) will be calculated according to the linear trapezoidal rule using the measured concentration-time values above the limit of quantification.

Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC(0-infinity)) of ponesimod
7 Days

Blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis will be taken immediately prior to dosing with ponesimod, and at various time points up to 7 days after dosing. AUC(0-infinity) will be calculated by combining AUC(0-144) and AUC(extra). AUC(extra) represents an extrapolated value obtained by Ct/λz, where Ct is the last plasma concentration measured above the limit of quantification and λz represents the terminal elimination rate constant determined by log-linear regression analysis of the measured plasma concentrations of the terminal elimination phase.

Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of ponesimod
7 Days

Blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis will be taken immediately prior to dosing with ponesimod, and at various time points up to 7 days after dosing. Cmax will be calculated on the basis of the blood sampling time points.

Plasma half life (t1/2) of ponesimod
7 Days

Blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis will be taken immediately prior to dosing with ponesimod, and at various time points up to 7 days after dosing. t1/2 will be calculated on the basis of the blood sampling time points.

Time to maximum plasma concentration (tmax) after oral administration of ponesimod
7 Days

Blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis will be taken immediately prior to dosing with ponesimod, and at various time points up to 7 days after dosing. tmax will be calculated on the basis of the blood sampling time points.

Total body clearance (CL) after intravenous administration of ponesimod
7 Days

Blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis will be taken immediately prior to dosing with ponesimod, and at various time points up to 7 days after dosing. CL Total body clearance will be calculated as follows: CL = Dose / AUC(0-infinity).

Volume of distribution (Vss) after intravenous administration of ponesimod
7 Days

Blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis will be taken immediately prior to dosing with ponesimod, and at various time points up to 7 days after dosing. Vss will be estimated by CL \[(AUMC/AUC) - (infusion time/2)\], where AUMC is the area under the first moment curve.

Absolute bioavailability (F) of after oral administration of ponesimod
7 Days

Blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis will be taken immediately prior to dosing with ponesimod, and at various time points up to 7 days after dosing. F will be calculated using the geometric means (as derived by the mixed effect model) of AUC(0-infinity).

ArmTypeDescription
Pilot PhaseEXPERIMENTALSubjects will receive a single intravenous (i.v.) dose of 5 mg ponesimod dissolved in 50 mL sterile 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution as a 3-hour infusion in the fasted state in the morning (infusion rate: 0.028 mg/min).
Treatment A/Treatment BEXPERIMENTALSubjects will receive Treatment A followed by Treatment B. Treatment A: a single i.v. dose of ponesimod administered in the fasted state in the morning. Treatment B: a single oral dose of ponesimod (10 mg) administered as 1 tablet in the fasted state in the morning. There will be a washout period between doses of 12-15 days.
Treatment B/Treatment AEXPERIMENTALSubjects will receive Treatment B followed by Treatment A. Treatment A: a single i.v. dose of ponesimod administered in the fasted state in the morning. Treatment B: a single oral dose of ponesimod (10 mg) administered as 1 tablet in the fasted state in the morning. There will be a washout period between doses of 12-15 days.
