2Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: Fasted Treatments with 100 mg of MDMAActive Control1 Intervention
Following an overnight fast of at least 10 hours, participants will be administered 100 mg MDMA (equivalent to 120 mg MDMA HCl) with 240 mL of water. No food should be allowed for at least 4 hours post-dose.
Group II: Fed Treatments with 100 mg of MDMAActive Control1 Intervention
A high-fat (approximately 50 percent of total caloric content of the meal) and high-calorie (approximately 800 to 1000 calories) meal will be used as a test meal for food-effect evaluation. Following an overnight fast of at least 10 hours, participants will start the recommended meal 30 minutes prior to administration of the drug product. Participants will eat this entire meal in 30 minutes or less. 100 mg MDMA (equivalent to 120 mg MDMA HCl) will be administered 30 minutes after start of the meal with 240 mL of water.
