Official Title: Pharmacokinetics and Distribution of Dapsone (DDS) in Leucocytes After Single-dose and Multiple-dose Administration in Healthy Subjects Genotyped for CYP2C9 and NAT2 and in Patients With Autoimmune Bu

Brief Summary:

The objectives of the study are

  • to evaluate pharmacokinetics, distribution in blood leucocytes, metabolism and methemoglobinemia after single-dose and repeated-dose administration of 100 mg of dapsone in healthy subjects genotyped for CYP2C9 and NAT2
  • to evaluate serum through levels, distribution in blood leucocytes and methemoglobinemia after repeated-dose treatment with dapsone in patients with autoimmune bullous dermatoses before and after concomitant treatment with glucocorticoids
