About this study

The purpose of the study is to compare the bioavailability of a generic product of metoprolol with that of a reference product when administered to healthy volunteers under fasting conditions. The test product is BF-Metoprolol Tablets 100mg manufactured by Bright Future Pharmaceuticals Factory O/B Bright Future Pharmaceutical Laboratories Limited and the reference product is Betaloc Tablet 100mg. The plasma kinetic data of metoprolol obtained from two formulations will be used to access the interchangeability of the products.

Read the detailed description

The study design is a single-dose, two-treatment, two-period, two-sequence cross over with a washout period of one to two weeks. Subject will be randomly assigned to two groups corresponding to two dosing sequences. Each subject will undergo two study (treatment) sessions, during which a single oral dose of 100mg metoprolol from either test or reference formulations will be administered. The estimated duration of subject's participation will be about 29-36 days (i.e. 3 weeks for screening and medication restraint, 1 day each for study (treatment) sessions I and II, 1 - 2 weeks as washout period. Venous blood samples will be collected at pre-dose (0h), and up to 24h post dose. The plasma concentrations of metoprolol will be determined by a validated assay. The non-compartmental method will be used to analyze the plasma concentration-time data and calculate the main pharmacokinetic parameters such as Cmax, Tmax, AUC0-last, AUC0-inf, and T1/2. ANOVA will be calculated on logarithmically transformed Cmax, AUC0-last and AUC0-inf. The two one sided tests will be used to calculate the 90% confidence intervals for the mean difference in AUC0-last, AUC0-inf and Cmax and to assess the bioequivalence of the two products

What is being measured

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

  1. Peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of metoprolol

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of metoprolol

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Time to maximum concentration (Tmax) of metoprolol

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Elimination half-life (t1/2) of metoprolol

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BF-Metoprolol Tablet 100mg and Betaloc Tablet 100mg in people with Healthy, run by Bright Future Pharmaceuticals Factory O/B Bright Future Pharmaceutical Laboratories Limited.

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 11 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jul 2019. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Evelyn YM Chau ((852) 26323377, bfok@cuhk.edu.hk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of metoprolol (time frame: 24 hours). 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 29 Jul 2019.
