Trial summary

A single dose, two treatments (two cephalexin capsules brands), two sequences, cross-over design was used with a washout of 7 days between the two study periods. Treatment groups balanced with the same number of healthy volunteers who were randomly (in two strata: male and female) assigned to the study drug… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prospective, Randomized, Open Label, Crossover Study to Compare the Bioavailability Between Optocef (Cephalexin 500 mg Capsules) From Bayer and Keflex (Cephalexin 250 mg Capsules) From Eli Lilly po in Healthy Subjects Using Equivalent Concentrations

A single dose, two treatments (two cephalexin capsules brands), two sequences, cross-over design was used with a washout of 7 days between the two study periods. Treatment groups balanced with the same number of healthy volunteers who were randomly (in two strata: male and female) assigned to the study drug administration sequences.

Being tested
Cephalexin capsules (Optocef, BAYO5448 ), Cephalexin capsules (Keflex)

What is being measured

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

  1. Least square estimator of average maximum plasmatic concentration (log transformed)

    Measured: After two months

  2. Least square estimator of area under the pharmacokinetic curve (log transformed)

    Measured: After two months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Time at which maximum concentration is reached

    Measured: After two months

  2. Area under the pharmacokinetic curve from time=0 to last blood sample

    Measured: After two months

  3. Clearance constant of plasmatic concentration of study drug

    Measured: After two months

  4. Half life of plasmatic concentration of study drug

    Measured: After two months

  5. Adverse events collection

    Measured: Up to six weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Cephalexin capsules (Optocef, BAYO5448 ) and Cephalexin capsules (Keflex) in people with Anti-Infective Agents, run by Bayer at 1 site in Mexico.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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 Apr 2015. 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 Mexico. 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?

Least square estimator of average maximum plasmatic concentration (log transformed) (time frame: After two months). The study lists 2 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 Apr 2015.
