Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Area under the curve (AUC) from time zero to last measurable time of alprazolam [ Time Frame: 72 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Peak concentration of alprazolam [ Time Frame: 72 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Area under the curve from time zero to infinity [ Time Frame: 72 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • AUC% extrapolated [ Time Frame: 72 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Time of Cmax [ Time Frame: 72 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • half-life of alprazolam [ Time Frame: 72 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Clinically significant safety laboratory tests [ Time Frame: Screening, Day 0, Day 4 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Clincally significant vital signs [ Time Frame: Screening, Day 4 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Clinically significant adverse events [ Time Frame: 1 month ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
