First‐In‐Human Study of Mirogabalin ( BM2216 ) Sustained‐Release Tablets: Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Food Effect and Dose Proportionality With Comparison to Mirogabalin Besylate in Healthy Participants

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Phase I pharmacokinetic study

Authors' conclusion

BM2216 SR was safe and shows linear PK (5.5-3 mg single dose).
