  • Screening BP >=140 mm Hg (systolic) or >=90 mm Hg (diastolic), following at least 5 minutes of rest. If BP is >=140 mm Hg (systolic) or >=90 mm Hg (diastolic), the BP should be repeated 2 more times and the average of the 3 BP values should be used to determine the subject's eligibility.
  • Screening supine 12 lead ECG demonstrating a corrected QT (QTc) interval >450 msec or a QRS complex >120 msec. If QTc exceeds 450 msec, or QRS exceeds 120 msec, the ECG should be repeated 2 more times and the average of the 3 QTc or QRS values should be used to determine the subject's eligibility.
  • Female subjects of childbearing potential and fertile male subjects who are unwilling or unable to use a highly effective method of contraception as outlined in this protocol for the duration of the study and for at least 28 days after the last dose of investigational product.
  • Female subjects who are breastfeeding or with positive pregnancy test at Screening and during the study period.
  • Use of prescription or nonprescription drugs and dietary supplements within 7 days prior to the first dose of investigational product. If the concomitant medication has a long elimination half-life, the washout period will be longer with a recommendation of five elimination half-lives. As an exception, acetaminophen/paracetamol may be used at doses of <=1 g/day. Limited use of nonprescription medications that are not believed to affect subject safety or the overall results of the study may be permitted on a case by case basis following approval by the sponsor.

  • Subjects who are investigator site staff members directly involved in the conduct of the study and their family members, site staff members otherwise supervised by the investigator, or subjects who are Pfizer employees, including their family members, directly involved in the conduct of the study.
  • Other acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation or behavior or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study.

About this study

Official title: AN OPEN-LABEL, RANDOMIZED, SINGLE-DOSE, 2-WAY CROSSOVER BIOEQUIVALENCE STUDY COMPARING FLUCONAZOLE 150 MG CAPSULE (MANUFACTURED AT PFIZER DALIAN, CHINA) WITH FLUCONAZOLE 150 MG CAPSULE (MANUFACTURED AT PFIZER FAREVA, AMBOISE, FRANCE) UNDER FASTED AND FED CONDITIONS IN HEALTHY CHINESE SUBJECTS

China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) initiated a generic consistency evaluation program to evaluate the quality and efficacy of the products manufactured in China in 2016. This is a bioequivalence study to support the program and to demonstrate the bioequivalence between the 150 mg fluconazole capsule manufactured at Pfizer Dalian, China (the localized originator, Test) and the 150 mg fluconazole capsule manufactured at Pfizer Fareva, Amboise, France (the originator, Reference) in healthy Chinese subjects under fasted and fed conditions. This open-lable, randomized, single-dose 2-way crossover study will enroll approximately 18 subjects for each condition. The primary endpoints are fluconazole area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to 72 hours post-dose (AUC72) and Cmax.

Read the detailed description

This trial is a bioequivalence study to support a generic consistency evaluation program, initiated by the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA), for the evaluation of quality and efficacy of the products manufactured in China. The selected strength of 150 mg capsule is the approved highest strength of capsule formulation in China. The 150 mg dose was selected for evaluation in this study as it is one of the commonly used clinically approved doses. The primary objective is to demonstrate the bioequivalence between the 150 mg fluconazole capsule manufactured at Pfizer Dalian, China (the localized originator, Test) and the 150 mg fluconazole capsule manufactured at Pfizer Fareva, Amboise, France (the originator, Reference) administered as a single oral dose in healthy Chinese subjects under fasted and fed conditions. The primary endpoints are fluconazole area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to 72 hours post-dose (AUC72) and peak plasma concentrations (Cmax).

The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of fluconazole administered as a single oral dose of 150 mg capsule manufactured at Pfizer Dalian, China and 150 mg capsule manufactured at Pfizer Fareva, Amboise, France in healthy Chinese subjects under fasted and fed conditions. The secondary endpoint is adverse events (AEs). Other endpoints include time to reach Cmax (Tmax) of fluconazole, safety laboratory tests and vital signs.

In each group, subjects will be randomized to one of the 2 treatment sequences. Each treatment sequence will consist of 2 periods, separated by a washout period of at least 14 days between each period.

On Day 1 of each period in both groups, each subject will be administered investigational product at approximately 8:00 AM (± 2 hours). Blood samples for the analysis of fluconazole in plasma will be collected at pre-dose (within 1 hour prior to dosing) and at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 24, 48 and 72 hours post dose in each period. Vital signs, physical examination, laboratory tests and 12 lead electrocardiogram (ECG) will be performed at specified times. Tolerability and safety will be assessed for all treatments by monitoring AEs.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Fluconazole 150mg Capsule Originator and Fluconazole 150mg Capsule Localized Originator in people with Bioequivalence, run by Pfizer at 1 site in China.

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 18 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 16 Jul 2021. 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 China. 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?

AUC0-72 (time frame: 0-72 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03621072, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 16 Jul 2021.
