Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Peak Plasma Concentration of IV MNTX [ Time Frame: 3 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    To evaluate plasma pharmacokinetics of multiple-doses of intravenous methylnaltrexone in healthy human volunteers.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration of IV MNTX [ Time Frame: 3 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    To evaluate plasma pharmacokinetics of multiple-doses of intravenous methylnaltrexone in healthy human volunteers.

  • Clearance of IV MNTX [ Time Frame: 3 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    To evaluate plasma pharmacokinetics of multiple-doses of intravenous methylnaltrexone in healthy human volunteers.

  • Half-life of IV MNTX [ Time Frame: 3 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    To evaluate plasma pharmacokinetics of multiple-doses of intravenous methylnaltrexone in healthy human volunteers.

  • Volume of Distribution of IV MNTX [ Time Frame: 3 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    To evaluate plasma pharmacokinetics of multiple-doses of intravenous methylnaltrexone in healthy human volunteers.

  • Area Under the Plasma Concentration versus Time Curve (AUC) of IV MNTX [ Time Frame: 3 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    To evaluate plasma pharmacokinetics of multiple-doses of intravenous methylnaltrexone in healthy human volunteers.

  • Percentage of IV MNTX Excreted in Urine [ Time Frame: 3 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    To evaluate plasma pharmacokinetics of multiple-doses of intravenous methylnaltrexone in healthy human volunteers.
