The purpose of this study is to determine whether defined and limited changes in in vitro dissolution impact the in vivo pharmacokinetics (PK) and relative bioavailability of allopurinol and the active metabolite oxypurinol.
In this study, a single oral dose of Zyloprim® (300 mg tablet) and 3 separate single oral doses of 300 mg allopurinol test formulations (Regimens B, C and D) will be administered sequentially to each subject on separate occasions. Following the administration of Regimens B and C, there will be a period of interim analysis during which the PK data will be reviewed to determine the formulation within the process design space that provides the desired in vitro dissolution variant for dosing in the subsequent study period.
