An Open-Label Study to Assess the Effect of Cimetidine on the Pharmacokinetics of Dexpramipexole (BIIB050) in Healthy Volunteers

Study Purpose:

This study will assess the effect of cimetidine on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of dexpramipexole in healthy volunteer and evaluate the safety and tolerability of dexpramipexole when given with or without cimetidine. Additionally, this study will explore the influence of genetic variation on the PK of dexpramipexole when given with or without cimetidine.
