Known history or presence of any clinically significant hepatic, renal/genitourinary, Gastrointestinal (GI), cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, pulmonary, endocrine, immunological, musculoskeletal, neurological, psychiatric, dermatological or hematological disease or condition unless determined as not clinically significant by the PI/Sub-Investigator. 2. Clinically significant history or presence of any clinically significant GI pathology unresolved GI symptoms, or other conditions known to interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of the drug experienced within 7 days prior to first study drug administration, as determined by the PI/Sub-Investigator. 3. Presence of any significant physical or organ abnormality as determined by the PI/Sub-Investigator. 4. Subject with abnormal baseline laboratory values deemed to be clinically significant by the Investigator. 5. Lymphocyte count \<1.5x 10\^9/L. 6. Known history or presence of: Alcohol abuse or dependence within one year prior to first study drug administration; Drug abuse or dependence; Hypersensitivity or idiosyncratic reaction to DMF, its excipients, and/or related substances; Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML); Fanconi syndrome; Flushing (e.g., warmth, redness, itching, and burning sensation); Low white blood cell count (lymphopenia);

The primary objective of the study is to compare in healthy subjects, the GI tolerability of bioequivalent doses of Bafiertam™(monomethyl fumarate) and its pro-drug Tecfidera® (dimethyl fumarate). Secondary objective of this study is to compare the safety and tolerability of Bafiertam™ and Tecfidera® when administered orally following bioequivalent dose regimens in healthy subjects.
