Bioequivalence Study of Two Formulations of Clopidogrel Film-coated Tablets 75 mg in Healthy Male Subjects Under Fasting Conditions
brief summary
This is an open-labeled, randomized, four period, single-center, crossover, full replicative, comparative study, where each participant will be randomly assigned to the reference (Plavix®, 75 mg film-coated tablets) or the test (Clopidogrel, 75 mg film-coated tablets) formulation in each period of study (sequences Test-Reference (TR) or Reference-Test (RT)), in order to evaluate if both formulations are bioequivalent.
detailed description
This is an open-labeled, randomized, four period, crossover, a single-center, full replicative, comparative, single-dose study, in which 60 healthy male subjects will receive one of the study treatments during each study period.
The objective of this study is to determine the bioequivalence of two different formulations of clopidogrel after a single oral dose administration under fasting conditions.
Subject eligibility for this study will be determined at the screening visit and eligible subjects will be admitted to the clinical research unit at least 12 hours prior to drug administration for each study period.
A subject who withdraws or is withdrawn during the pretrial evaluations but before receiving the first dose (the test or the reference product) in Period 1 will not be considered as a drop-out and will not be included in the final database. Standbys should be recruited and available to replace any subject who withdraws prior to the first drug administration. On-study drop-outs will not be replaced.
Eligible subjects will be randomized to one of two treatment sequences. There will be two sequences in the study: TR and RT, where T = the test product, R = the reference product.
For each study period, subjects will receive a single 75 mg oral dose of clopidogrel (the test or the reference formulation). Study participants will be aware they will receive different formulations of the same drug, without being informed which product (Test or Reference) is being administered. For each subject, all scheduled postdose activities and assessments will be performed relative to the time of study drug administration.
Fasting will continue for at least 4 hours following drug administration, after which a standardized lunch will be served. Next meals will be provided for subjects in 6 hours, 9 hours and 12 hours after drug administration.
Water will be provided as needed until 1 hour predose. Water will be allowed beginning 2 hours after the administration of the drug.
A total of 21 blood samples will be collected (one tube of 6 mL each) in each study period for pharmacokinetic (PK) assessments. The first blood sample will be collected prior to drug administration while the others will be collected up to 24 hours after drug administration.
Сlopidogrel plasma concentrations will be measured according to a validated bioanalytical method.
