Clinical Trial Summary

This study is designed to explore the bioequivalence of Test Product Vaptor (Rosuvastatin) 20 mg Tablet with the reference product Crestor (Rosuvastatin) 20 mg tablet under fasting conditions in healthy Pakistani male subjects.

Description:

This is a single-center, open-label, randomized, single-dose, two-period, two-way, cross-over study. Subjects will receive one single dose per treatment period of Test and Reference Drugs separated by a wash-out period of 7 days. Blood samples will be taken up to 72 hours post-dose. The primary pharmacokinetic parameters will be compared for both drugs to assess the bioequivalence.
