About this study

Official title: A Study to Compare the Relative Bioavailability of Ranbaxy and Bristol Myers Squibb Formulations of Metformin 1000 mg Tablets in Healthy Adult Volunteers Under Fed Conditions

The objective of this study was to evaluate the relative bioavailability of the test formulation of metformin hydrochloride 1000 mg tablets with an already marketed reference formulation GLUCOPHAGE® (metformin hydrochloride) 1000 mg tablets (Bristol-Myers Squibb Company) under fed conditions in healthy, male and female adult subjects.

Read the detailed description

This randomized, single-dose, two-way, crossover study was conducted to compare the relative bioavailability of two formulations of 1000 mg metformin hydrochloride tablets under fed conditions. The study was conducted with 32 (30 completing) healthy adults in accordance with Protocol No. 10640303 (Revision 0). In each study period, a single dose (1 x 1000 mg tablet) was administered to all subjects following a standardized high fat breakfast preceded by an overnight fast of at least 10 hours. The test formulation was Ohm Laboratories, Inc's (A Group of Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals Inc.) Metformin Hydrochloride 1000 mg Tablets and the reference formulation was GLUCOPHAGE® (metformin hydrochloride) 1000 mg Tablets (Bristol-Myers Squibb Company). The subjects received the test product in one study period and the reference product in the other period; the order of administration was according to the dosing randomization schedule. There was a 7-day interval between treatments.

Blood samples were collected pre-dose and at intervals over 24 hours after each dose. The plasma samples for all subjects completing both periods of the study were sent to Helen Fassoulas, Director of Operations, Warnex Bioanalytical Services Inc., 3885 boul Industriel, Laval, Quebec, H7L4S3 Canada, Telephone: 450-663-6724, Fax: 450-975-8111 for determination of metformin concentrations.

Statistical analysis was performed by Braulio Suarez, M.D., Novum Pharmaceutical Research Services, Wilcrest Green Office Park, 3320 Walnut Bend Lane, Houston, Texas 77042-4712, USA, Telephone: 832-251-8100, Fax: 832-251-7133.

A total of 32 healthy adult subjects (30 completing).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing metformin hydrochloride 1000 mg tablets in people with Healthy, run by Ranbaxy Laboratories Limited at 1 site in United States.

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 13 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 23 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 United States. 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 23 Oct 2008.
