About this study

Official title: Open-label, Randomized, Crossover, Two-period, Two-sequence Bioequivalence Study of Sotalol, Tablets, 160 mg (Pharmtechnology LLC, Belarus), and Sotalex®, Tablets, 160 mg (BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB GmbH & Co. KGaA, Germany), in Healthy Volunteers Under Fasting Condition

This is an open-label, randomized, single-center, single-dose, two-treatment, two-sequence, two-period, crossover, comparative study, where each subject was randomly assigned to the reference or the test formulation in each period of the study (sequences RT or TR), in order to evaluate if both formulations are bioequivalent.The study was conducted in multiple groups.

Read the detailed description

The objective of this study is to establish if two formulations of sotalol are bioequivalent. The test formulation is Sotalol Tablets, 160 mg (Pharmtechnology LLC, Belarus). The reference formulation is Sotalex®, Tablets, 160 mg (Bristol-Myers Squibb GmbH \& Co. KGaA, Germany). 36 healthy adult volunteers of both genders with age ranging from 18 to 55 years old will receive a single tablet (160 mg of sotalol) of the test and the reference products with 200 ml of water after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours, according to the pre-defined randomization list. In the first period, 18 subjects will receive the test product and 18 subjects the reference product.In the second period subjects will receive the products in the opposite order. Subjects will fast 4 hours after administration of the study drugs during each study period. Standardized meals will be provided in each study period. Water will not be accessible to the subjects 1 hour prior to administration of the study drugs and 2 hours after administration of the study drugs in each period. In each period blood samples were collected before dosing and 0,5 ; 1; 1,5; 2 ; 2,5; 3; 3,5; 4; 4,5; 5; 6; 8; 10; 12; 16; 24; 36; 48; 72 hours after dosing (total number: 19). The washout period will be 14 days. A validated HPLC/MS/MS method will be used to determine plasma concentrations of analyte (sotalol). ANOVA will be performed on log transformed pharmacokinetic parameters Cmax, AUC0-t and 90% confidence interval will be constructed for the ratio of geometric least square means of the test and the reference products, obtained from the log-transformed data. Bioequivalence will be concluded if the ratio estimate as well as its 90% confidence interval for the analyte, both falls within the acceptable range of 80.00% to 125.00% for Cmax and AUC0-t.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Sotalol and Sotalex in people with Bioequivalence, run by Pharmtechnology LLC at 1 site in Belarus.

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 15 inclusion and 21 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 7 Jun 2019. 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 Belarus. 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?

Cmax of sotalol for the test and the reference products (time frame: Time points: 0,00 (within 30 minutes before dosing) and 0,5; 1; 1,5; 2; 2,5; 3; 3,5; 4; 4,5; 5; 6; 8; 10; 12; 16; 24; 36; 48; 72 hours after dosing). 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 7 Jun 2019.
