About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Two-way Crossover, Single-dose, Open-label Study to Evaluate the Relative Bioequivalence of a Test Tablet Formulation of Zolpidem Tartrate 10mg, Compared to an Equivalent Dose of Ambien® in Fed, Healthy, Adult Subjects

The purpose of this study is to compare the bioequivalence of a test formulation of zolpidem tartrate tablets to an equivalent oral dose of the commercially available Ambien® (zolpidem tartrate tablets)in adult subjects under fed conditions.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to compare the bioequivalence of a test formulation of zolpidem tartrate tablets to an equivalent oral dose of the commercially available Ambien® (zolpidem tartrate tablets)in adult subjects under fed conditions.

Thirty-eight healthy, non-smoking, non-obese male and female volunteers at least 18 years of age will be randomly assigned in a crossover fashion to receive each of two zolpidem tartrate dosing regimens in sequence with a 7 day washout period between dosing periods. On the morning of Day 1, following an overnight fast of at least 10 hours and a standardized, high fat breakfast, subjects will receive either a single oral dose of the test formulation, zolpidem tartrate (1 x 10 mg tablet) or a single oral dose of the reference formulation, Ambien® (1 x 10 mg tablet). After a 7 day washout period, on the morning of Day 8 following an overnight fast of at least 10 hours and a standardized, high fat breakfast, subjects will receive the alternate regimen. Blood samples will be drawn from all participants before dosing and for 12 hours post dose at times sufficient to adequately define the pharmacokinetics of zolpidem tartrate. A further goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of this regimen in healthy volunteers. Subjects will be monitored throughout the confinement portion of the study for adverse reactions to the study drugs and/or procedures. Blood pressure and pulse rate will be obtained prior to dosing and at 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 12 hours post-dose. All adverse events whether elicited by query, spontaneously reported or observed by clinic staff will be evaluated by the investigator and reported in the subject's case report form.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) for Zolpidem Tartrate

    The maximum or peak concentration that zolpidem tartrate reaches in the plasma.

    Measured: serial pharmacokinetic blood samples drawn prior to dosing (hour 0), and then at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3, 3.25, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours after dose administration

  2. Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time 0 to Time t [AUC(0-t)] for Zolpidem Tartrate

    The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve, from time 0 to the time of the last measurable zolpidem tartrate concentration (t), as calculated by the linear trapezoidal rule.

    Measured: serial pharmacokinetic blood samples drawn prior to dosing (hour 0), and then at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3, 3.25, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours after dose administration

  3. Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time 0 Extrapolated to Infinity [AUC(0-∞)]for Zolpidem Tartrate

    The area under the zolpidem tartrate plasma concentration versus time curve from time 0 to infinity. AUC(0-∞) was calculated as the sum of AUC(0-t) plus the ratio of the last measurable plasma concentration to the elimination rate constant

    Measured: serial pharmacokinetic blood samples drawn prior to dosing (hour 0), then 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3, 3.25, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours after dose administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Zolpidem Tartrate 10 mg tablet and Zolpidem Tartrate 10 mg tablet (Ambien®) in people with Healthy and Therapeutic Equivalency, run by Mutual Pharmaceutical Company, Inc..

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 5 inclusion and 12 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 3 May 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Jan 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) for Zolpidem Tartrate (time frame: serial pharmacokinetic blood samples drawn prior to dosing (hour 0), and then at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3, 3.25, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours after dose administration). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 3 May 2011.
