About this study

Official title: A Two-Way Crossover, Open-Label, Single-Dose, Fed, Bioequivalence Study of Pravastatin Sodium 80 mg Tablets Versus Pravachol® 80 mg Tablets In Normal Healthy Non-Smoking Male and Female Subjects

This study was designed to compare the rate and extent of absorption of pravastatin sodium from the following formulations under fed conditions:

  1. Pravastatin Sodium 80 mg Tablets (Genpharm Inc. Canada)
  2. Pravachol® 80 mg Tablets (Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., U.S.A.) Bioequivalence of these formulations was assessed for pravastatin.

Based on the results from this study, these two 80 mg pravastatin tablet formulations demonstrated bioequivalence under the single-dose fed conditions.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Pravastatin in people with Therapeutic Equivalency, run by Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Therapeutic Bioequivalence (time frame: Within 30 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Apr 2024.
