Amoxicillin Bioequivalence Study Brazil - Fast

Phase 1CompletedNCT01431989

GlaxoSmithKline28 enrolled

Overview

This study is prospective, open-label, randomized, crossover, single dose, with 02 treatments, 02 sequences and 02 periods. The volunteers received, in each period, the reference or the test formulation, according to the randomization list, under fasting conditions, in order to evaluate if the reference and test formulations are bioequivalent.

This study is prospective, open-label, randomized, crossover, single dose, with 02 treatments, 02 sequences and 02 periods. The objective is to confirm if two formulations of Amoxicillin trihydrate, in the form powder for oral suspension, are bioequivalent. The test product is Amoxicillin trihydrate - Clamoxyl 500mg/5mL (Glaxo Wellcome Production.) in the form powder for oral suspension and reference product is Amoxil ® 500mg/5mL (GlaxoSmithKline Mexico SA) in the form of powder for oral suspension. Twenty eight healthy volunteers, of both genders, were evaluated. The volunteers received, in each period, the reference or the test formulation, according to the randomization list, under fasting conditions. In each period blood samples are collected in the following times: 0.00 (prior to administration of medication); 0.25; 0.50; 0.75; 1.00; 1.25; 1.50; 1.75; 2.00; 2.50; 3.00; 4.00; 5.00; 6.00; 8.00 (after administration of medication). The comparative bioavailability of the two formulations was evaluated based in statistical comparisons of relevant pharmacokinetic parameters, obtained from data of drug concentrations in blood.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Area Under the Curve of Plasma Concentration of Drug From Time 0 (Zero) to t (Last Measurable Concentration) (AUC0-t)

The area under the plot of plasma concentration of drug against time (non-compartmental method), after drug administration, is defined as the area under the curve (AUC). AUC0-t is calculated from time 0 (prior to administration of medication) to time t (the time of the last quantifiable concentration). AUC is of particular use in estimating the bioavailability of drugs, by measuring the extent of absorption. ng, nanograms; mL, milliliter.

Time frame: Collection points (hours [hrs]): 0.00; 0.25; 0.50; 0.75; 1.00; 1.25; 1.50; 1.75; 2.00; 2.50; 3.00; 4.00; 5.00; 6.00; 8.00 evaluated in both periods (Day 1 of Period 1 [Day 1 of study]; Day 1 of Period 2 [Day 15 of study])

Maximum Observed Concentration of Drug Through Time (Cmax)

Cmax is defined as the maximum or "peak" concentration of a drug observed after its administration. Cmax is one of the parameters of particular use in estimating the bioavailability of drugs, by measuring the total amount of drug absorbed. Measurement is obtained directly from the plasma concentration curve of the drug (non-compartmental method).

Time frame: Collection points (hrs): 0.00; 0.25; 0.50; 0.75; 1.00; 1.25; 1.50; 1.75; 2.00; 2.50; 3.00; 4.00; 5.00; 6.00; 8.00 evaluated in both periods (Day 1 of Period 1 [Day 1 of study]; Day 1 of Period 2 [Day 15 of study])

Area Under the Curve of Plasma Concentration of Drug From Time 0 (Zero) Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC0-inf)

Measurement of AUC0-inf is obtained directly from the plasma concentration curve of drug against time (non-compartmental method). AUC0-inf is calculated from time 0 (prior to administration of medication) extrapolated to infinity, by using the formula AUC0-inf = AUC0-t + Clast/Kel, where Clast is the last measurable concentration, and Kel is the first-order rate constant associated with the terminal portion of the curve. AUC is of particular use in estimating the bioavailability of drugs, by measuring the extent of absorption.

Time frame: Collection points (hrs):0.00; 0.25; 0.50; 0.75; 1.00; 1.25; 1.50; 1.75; 2.00; 2.50; 3.00; 4.00; 5.00; 6.00; 8.00 evaluated in both periods (Day 1 of Period 1[Day 1 of study]; Day 1 of Period 2 [Day 15 of study])
