  • Reports use of CYP enzyme inducers or St. John's Wort within 28 days prior to Period 1 dosing.

  • Use of prescription or non-prescription drugs, including individual vitamins, herbaland dietary supplements within seven days or five half-lives, whichever is longer,unless in the opinion of the Investigator and Sponsor's medical monitor themedication is not expected to interfere with the study procedures or compromisesubject safety (occasional use of acetaminophen, naproxen, and ibuprofen areallowed).

  • Blood donation or significant blood loss within 3 months before screening. Allvolunteers will be advised not to donate blood for 30 days after completing thestudy.

  • Reports donating plasma within 14 days prior to first dose. All volunteers will beadvised not to donate plasma for 30 days after completing the study.

  • Subject administered COVID-19 vaccine within three days prior to each check-in.

  • Subjects with retainers, braces, dentures, partial dentures, and/or tongue piercing.

  • Subjects using the following within 14 days of first dose:

  • Nitric oxide donors, such as organic nitrates or organic nitrites in any form

  • Antihypertensive medications

Study Design

Total Participants: 12
Treatment Group(s): 2
Primary Treatment: ASP-001.1
Phase: 1
Study Start date:
April 15, 2025
Estimated Completion Date:
December 31, 2025

Study Description

This is a Phase 1, open-label, single-center, two-period, two-treatment crossover study designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), food effect, safety, and tolerability of ASP-001.1 (oral liquid suspension of sildenafil) under fed versus fasted conditions in healthy adult male participants. The crossover design ensures that each participant receives ASP-001.1 under both fed and fasted conditions, allowing for direct within-subject comparison of the pharmacokinetic parameters. The study aims to determine the effect of food on the absorption and bioavailability of ASP-001.1 and to assess its safety and tolerability, including the potential for oral irritation, dizziness, or headache.

Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of two sequences for the crossover study:

  • Sequence 1: ASP-001.1 under fasted conditions in Treatment Period 1, followed by ASP-001.1 under fed conditions in Treatment Period 2.

  • Sequence 2: ASP-001.1 under fed conditions in Treatment Period 1, followed by ASP-001.1 under fasted conditions in Treatment Period 2.

Randomization will occur after screening and prior to Treatment Period 1 dosing.
