Clinical Trial Summary

Comparative, Randomized, Single Dose, Two-way Crossover Bioequivalence Study to determine the bioequivalence of Metformin HCl From Gleptomet 50/1000 mg F.C.Tablets (EVA Pharma, Egypt) and Janumet 50/1000 mg F.C.Tablets (Merck Sharp & Dohme, The Netherlands)

Description:

Healthy volunteers, 18-55 years of age, selected from the Egyptian population fulfilling the selection criteria. All dosed subject samples will be analyzed and their data will be included in the final study report.

Primary Pharmacokinetic Parameters: Cmax, AUC0→t and AUC0→∞ Secondary Pharmacokinetic Parameters: Ke, tmax and t1/2e. ANOVA using 5% significance level for transformed (with the 90% confidence intervals) and untransformed data of Cmax, AUC0→t and AUC0→∞ and for untransformed data of Ke, tmax and t1/2e.

The confidence intervals of logarithmically transformed Test/Reference ratios for Cmax, AUC0→t and AUC0→∞ to be within 80.00-125.00%.

A comprehensive final report will be issued upon the completion of the study.
