Oral Cyanocobalamin (Eligen B12) Bioavailability Study
20 participantsStarted 2008-05
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to assess and compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) of cyanocobalamin after the oral administration of Eligen® B12 (cyanocobalamin/SNAC), oral cyanocobalamin alone (commercially-available formulation) and cyanocobalamin administered intravenously (IV) (also a commercially-available formulation) to healthy male subjects under fasting conditions. The safety and tolerability of oral Eligen® B12 (cyanocobalamin/SNAC) versus oral cyanocobalamin alone and versus IV cyanocobalamin are also assessed.

* History or current diagnosis of any clinically significant disease of the liver, kidneys or GI system, or any abnormal condition that compromises the function of these systems and could result in the possibility of altered absorption, excess accumulation, or impairment of metabolism or excretion of the study product.
* History or current diagnosis of any clinically significant hematological, immunological, metabolic, cardiovascular, neurological, or GI abnormalities which that should, in the opinion of the Investigator exclude the subject from this study.
* Any other clinically significant laboratory value at Screening, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, suggested a condition that could have precluded the subject from entering this study.
