About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Randomized, Single-dose, Two-treatment, Crossover Bioequivalence Study Comparing a Novel Naproxen Sodium 275 mg Film-coated Tablet (BILIM ILAC SANAYII VE TICARET A.S., TURKEY) and Nalgesin® 275 mg Naproxen Sodium Film-coated Tablet (JSC "KRKA, D.D., NOVO MESTO", SLOVENIA), in Healthy Adult Volunteers

This is a research study designed to evaluate the rate and extent of absorption of Naproxen from a novel Naproxen sodium tablet and Nalgesin naproxen sodium 275 mg.

Read the detailed description

The study has an open-label, randomized, two-way crossover design. 28 healthy participants will be included. Single-doses of 1 tablet of Naproxen sodium 275 mg and Nalgesin 275 mg will be given on separate treatment visits to healthy adult participants under fasting conditions. A crossover design is chosen in order to allow within-subject comparisons of treatments. To minimize the risk of carry-over effect, the washout period between the study drug administrations is set to 7 days. The study is open-label because the primary data collected are concentration measurements that cannot be expected to be affected by a participant's knowledge of the product administered.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Naproxen sodium (test product) and Naproxen sodium (reference product) in people with Healthy, run by McNeil AB at 1 site in Russia.

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 7 inclusion and 22 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 Jan 2020. 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 Russia. 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?

The maximum observed plasma concentrations (Cmax) of Naproxen Sodium (time frame: 15, 30, 45 minutes, and at 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48 and 72 hours after drug administration). 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 23 Jan 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
