About this study

Official title: Relative Bioavailability Study Between the Formulations: Paroxetine 25 mg Tablet With Controlled Release Manufactured by GSK Mississauga and Paroxetine 25 mg Tablets With Controlled Release Manufactured by SmithKline Beecham (Cidra), Fasted Administration in Healthy Volunteers for Both Genders.

The study is prospective, open, randomized, crossover in steady state and the volunteers received multiple doses of the drug test and reference (two periods of drug administration).

Read the detailed description

Full title: Relative bioavailability study between the formulations: Paroxetine Hydrochloride 25 mg tablet with controlled release (Paxil CR) manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline Inc. - Mississauga - Canada (test formulation) and Paroxetine Hydrochloride 25 mg tablets with controlled release (Paxil CR) manufactured by SmithKline Beecham (Cork) Limited - Cidra - Puerto Rico (reference formulation), fasted administration in healthy volunteers for both genders.

The study is open, randomized, crossover in steady state and the volunteers received multiple doses of the drug test and reference (two periods of drug administration).

The population is composed of 60 healthy volunteers, adult of both gender, with age between 18 and 40 years, with a body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 27. Volunteers have weight above than 50 kg. 50% of the volunteers recruited are female and 50% male. There are not restrictions regarding the ethnic group.The relative bioavailability of the formulations after oral administration in steady state will be evaluated based on statistical comparisons of relevant pharmacokinetic parameters obtained from data of concentration of drug in blood. The concentration of Paroxetine hydrochloride (controlled release) will be measured by an appropriate analytical method and valid after the drug administration.The Pharmacokinetic samples will be collected at steady state in each fasting period. The safety assessment will include evaluation and clinical monitoring, vital signs monitoring, ECG, and laboratory tests. Adverse events will be monitored throughout the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Area Under the Curve_steady-state

    The area under the plot of plasma concentration of drug against time after drug administration is defined as the area under the curve (AUC). The AUC_steady-state (ss) is the area under the curve during the steady-state period. The AUC_ss is of particular use in estimating the bioavailability of drugs, by measuring the extent of absorption. ng, nanogram; h, hour; ml, milliliter. ng.h/ml, nanograms per hour per milliliter.

    Measured: Days 14 to 17 (Period 1) and Days 23 to 24 (Period 2)

  2. Cmin_steady-state

    Cmin_steady-state (ss) is defined as the minimum concentration of a drug observed after its administration in steady-state. Cmin_ss is one of the parameters of particular use in estimating the bioavailability of drugs, for studies employing multiple doses.

    Measured: Days 14 to 17 (Period 1) and Days 23 to 24 (Period 2)

  3. Cmax_steady-state

    Cmax_steady-state (ss) is defined as the maximum or "peak" concentration of a drug observed after its administration, in steady-state. Cmax_ss is one of the parameters of particular use in estimating the bioavailability of drugs, by measuring the total amount of drug absorbed.

    Measured: Days 14 to 17 (Period 1) and Days 23 to 24 (Period 2)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Test formulation and Reference formulation in people with Depressive Disorder, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in Brazil.

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 6 inclusion and 6 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 Jun 2018. 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 Brazil. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Apr 2011). 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?

Area Under the Curve_steady-state (time frame: Days 14 to 17 (Period 1) and Days 23 to 24 (Period 2)). 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 20 Jun 2018.
