About this study

Official title: An Open Label, Balanced, Randomised, Two-Treatment, Two-Period, Two-Sequence, Single-Dose, Crossover, Bioavailability Study on Clarithromycin Formulations Comparing Clarithromycin 250 mg/5 mL Powder for Oral Suspension of Ranbaxy Laboratories With Biaxin® Granules 250 mg/5 mL Oral Suspension in Healthy, Adult, Human, Male Subjects Under Fasting Conditions.

To compare the single-dose oral bioavailability of clarithromycin 250-mg/5 mL powder for oral suspension of Ranbaxy Laboratories with that of Abbott Laboratories (Biaxin®) following administration of a 250 mg/5 mL dose in healthy, adult, human, male subjects under fasting conditions.

Read the detailed description

The study was conducted as an open label, balanced, randomised, two-treatment, two-period, two-sequence, single-dose, crossover, bioavailability study on clarithromycin formulations comparing clarithromycin 250 mg/5 mL powder for oral suspension of Ranbaxy Laboratories with Biaxin® granules 250 mg/5 mL oral suspension (containing clarithromycin 250 mg/5mL) of Abbott Laboratories in healthy, adult, human, male subjects under fasting conditions.

A single oral dose of clarithromycin 250-mg/5 mL was administered during each period of the study under supervision of a trained Medical Officer.

During the course of the study safety parameters assessed were vital signs, twelve-lead ECG, clinical examination, medical history, clinical laboratory safety tests (hematology, biochemical parameters and urine analysis) at base line and hematology and biochemical parameters at 24 hours post dose of the last period of the study. Twelve-lead ECG was recorded at 4 and 8 hours post-dose in each period.

A Validated analytical method was used for the analysis of Clarithromycin in human plasma. Pharmacokinetic and statistical analysis was performed to conclude the bioequivalence.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing clarithromycin 250 mg/5 mL powder for oral suspension in people with Healthy, run by Ranbaxy Laboratories Limited at 1 site in India.

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 4 inclusion and 17 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 20 Oct 2008. 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 India. 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.

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?

Bioequivalence. 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 20 Oct 2008.
