Brief Summary
This is a single center, Phase 1, randomized, open-label, single-dose, 4 treatment, 4-period, 4-sequence, crossover study designed to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) of sapropterin from the Test and Reference products, and to evaluate the effect of food and the effect of water administration on the bioavailability of sapropterin from the Test product in healthy subjects. .
