GlaxoSmithKline26 enrolled

Overview

This two-period cross-over study will evaluate bioequivalence of GR37547 (ciprofloxacin 500 mg) tablet versus ciprofloxacin 500 mg reference tablet in healthy adult subjects under fasting conditions. Subjects will receive Treatment A (GR37547 tablet) and Treatment B (ciprofloxacin reference tablet) in crossover manner, separated by a washout period of at least 7 days and not more than 14 days. The total duration of study for each subject will be approximately 5-7 weeks. This study will enroll approximately 26 healthy adult subjects at a single center.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero (Pre-dose) to Last Time of Quantifiable Concentration Within a Participant Across All Treatments (AUC[0-t]) for Ciprofloxacin

Blood samples were collected from participants at indicated time points in each of the treatment period 1 and 2, after administration of study treatment to investigate the pharmacokinetics of ciprofloxacin under fasted state. Pharmacokinetic analysis of ciprofloxacin was conducted using non-compartmental methods. Pharmacokinetic Population comprised of participants who completed the study and for whom primary pharmacokinetic parameters could be calculated for all treatment periods were included in the statistical pharmacokinetic analysis of the study.

Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Non-serious AEs (Non-SAEs)

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of a study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/ incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/ birth defect or other situations. The analysis was performed on Safety Population which comprised of all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study treatment. Participants were analyzed according to the treatment they actually received.

Time frame: Up to 4 weeks in each treatment period

Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Alkaline Phosphatase (Alk Phos), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) and Lactate Dehydrogenase (LD) at Indicated Time-points

Blood samples were collected from participants on Day -1 and Day 2 of each treatment period 1 and 2 for the analysis of clinical chemistry parameters including ALT, Alk phos, AST and LD. Only those participants with data available at the specified data points were analyzed (represented by n= X in the category titles).
