About this study
Official title: Single Dose Crossover Comparative Bioavailability Study of Fluconazole 200 mg Tablets Versus Diflucan® 200 mg Hard Capsules in Healthy Adult Subjects Under Fasting Conditions
This single dose study is designed in accordance with EMA (the European Medicines Agency) regulatory guidelines, with the aim of characterizing the comparative bioavailability of fluconazole in the two formulations in healthy subjects. As this is a bioequivalence trial where each subject will receive each study treatment in a crossover fashion, a control group is not included. Within the clinical portion of the study each subject will receive a single oral dose of the test and the reference formulation in compliance with the generated randomization code. The primary study endpoints are the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters Cmax and AUC0-t of fluconazole.
Read the detailed description
This is a single center, randomized, 2-treatment, 2-period, 2-sequence, crossover, single dose study design, in which 26 healthy adult subjects will receive one of the study treatments during each study period.
The objective of this study is to determine the bioequivalence of two different formulations of fluconazole after a single oral dose administration under fasting conditions. The secondary objective of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of the Test product compared to the Reference formulation in healthy subjects.
Subject eligibility for this study will be determined at the screening visit and eligible subjects will be admitted to the clinical research unit at least 10 hours prior to drug administration for each study period.
A subject who withdraws or is withdrawn during the pretrial evaluations but before receiving the IP will not be considered as a drop-out and will not be included in the final database. Standbys should be recruited and available to replace any subject who withdraws prior to the first drug administration. On-study drop-outs will not be replaced.
Altasciences will generate the randomization code with a computer program according to the study design, the number of subjects and the sequence of treatment administration. The random allocation of each sequence of treatment administration to each subject will be done in such a way that the study is balanced. Once generated, the randomization code will be final and will not be modified.
For each study period, subjects will receive a single 40 mg oral dose of olmesartan medoxomil (the test or the reference formulation). Study participants will be aware they will receive different formulations of the same drug, without being informed which product (Test or Reference) is being administered.The date and time of each dose will be recorded. For each subject, all scheduled postdose activities and assessments will be performed relative to the time of study drug administration.
Subjects will fast overnight (no food or drink except water), for a minimum of 10 hours prior to dosing. Fasting will continue for at least 4 hours following drug administration, after which a standardized lunch will be served. A supper and a light snack will be served at appropriate times thereafter, but not before 9 hours after dosing.
A total of 22 blood samples will be collected (one tube of 4 mL each) in each study period for PK assessments. The first blood sample will be collected prior to drug administration while the others will be collected up to 120 hours after drug administration.
The analyte to be measured in the present study will be fluconazole. Fluconazole plasma concentrations will be measured according to a validated bioanalytical method.
Subjects are to be discharged from the clinic after the 24-hour postdose PK sample collection, and following medical approval. However, they may be advised to stay at the clinical site for safety reasons, if judged necessary by the physician in charge. Subjects will return to the clinic for blood collections at 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours postdose.
The expected terminal elimination half-life of fluconazole is 34 hours. To avoid any carry-over effect, a wash-out of 21 calendar days is planned between drug administrations.
The decision of which subjects will be included in the PK analysis is to be documented by the pharmacokineticist (or delegate) and approved by the sponsor before the start of the sample analysis by the bioanalytical facility. Subjects who are expected to provide evaluable PK data for both the Test and Reference products (based on viable PK samples) will be included in the PK analysis. Concentration data of the remaining subjects will be presented separately. Subjects who do not complete the sampling schedule of one or more study periods may be included in the PK and statistical analysis and bioequivalence determination for only the PK parameters that are judged not to be affected by the missing sample(s).
The parameter Tmax will be analyzed using a non-parametric approach. Test of fixed period, sequence and treatment effects will be based on the Wilcoxon's rank sum test (Mann-Whitney U-test). When appropriate (e.g. small or sparse sample), the exact version of the test will also be presented. All primary endpoints will be statistically analyzed using an ANOVA model. The fixed factors included in this model will be the subject effect (nested within sequence), the treatment received, the period at which it was given, as well as the sequence in which each treatment is received.
The treatment, sequence and period effects will the evaluated at the 5% significance level. Explanations for significant effects will be provided for log transformed PK parameters.
The 90% confidence interval for the exponential of the difference in LSmeans between the Test and Reference product will be calculated for the ln-transformed parameters (Test to Reference ratio of geometric LSmeans).
Statistical inference of fluconazole will be based on a bioequivalence approach using the following standards:
- The ratio of geometric LSmeans with corresponding 90% confidence interval calculated from the exponential of the difference between the Test and Reference for the lntransformed parameters Cmax and AUC0-T should all be within the 80.00 to 125.00% bioequivalence range.
- In case if AUC0-T is less than 80% of AUC0-∞ in more than 20% of the observations, truncated AUC0-72 will be used for bioequivalence assessment instead of AUC0-T. The ratio of geometric LSmeans with corresponding 90% confidence interval calculated from the exponential of the difference between the Test and Reference for the ln-transformed parameters Cmax and AUC0-72 should all be within the 80.00 to 125.00% bioequivalence range.
The safety population will include all subjects who received at least one formulation (Test or Reference). Safety assessments will include physical examination, clinical laboratory test and AE monitoring. Additional safety measurements may be performed at the discretion of the investigator for reasons related to subject safety.
Total study duration: up to 55 days (including screening).

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This single dose study is designed in accordance with EMA (the European Medicines Agency) regulatory guidelines, with the aim of characterizing the comparative bioavailability of fluconazole in the two formulations in healthy subjects. As this is a bioequivalence trial where each subject will receive each study treatment in a crossover fashion, a control group is not included. Within the clinical portion of the study each subject will receive a single oral dose of the test and the reference formulation in compliance with the generated randomization code. The primary study endpoints are the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters Cmax and AUC0-t of fluconazole.
Detailed description
This is a single center, randomized, 2-treatment, 2-period, 2-sequence, crossover, single dose study design, in which 26 healthy adult subjects will receive one of the study treatments during each study period.
The objective of this study is to determine the bioequivalence of two different formulations of fluconazole after a single oral dose administration under fasting conditions. The secondary objective of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of the Test product compared to the Reference formulation in healthy subjects.
Subject eligibility for this study will be determined at the screening visit and eligible subjects will be admitted to the clinical research unit at least 10 hours prior to drug administration for each study period.
A subject who withdraws or is withdrawn during the pretrial evaluations but before receiving the IP will not be considered as a drop-out and will not be included in the final database. Standbys should be recruited and available to replace any subject who withdraws prior to the first drug administration. On-study drop-outs will not be replaced.
Altasciences will generate the randomization code with a computer program according to the study design, the number of subjects and the sequence of treatment administration. The random allocation of each sequence of treatment administration to each subject will be done in such a way that the study is balanced. Once generated, the randomization code will be final and will not be modified.
For each study period, subjects will receive a single 40 mg oral dose of olmesartan medoxomil (the test or the reference formulation). Study participants will be aware they will receive different formulations of the same drug, without being informed which product (Test or Reference) is being administered.The date and time of each dose will be recorded. For each subject, all scheduled postdose activities and assessments will be performed relative to the time of study drug administration.
Subjects will fast overnight (no food or drink except water), for a minimum of 10 hours prior to dosing. Fasting will continue for at least 4 hours following drug administration, after which a standardized lunch will be served. A supper and a light snack will be served at appropriate times thereafter, but not before 9 hours after dosing.
A total of 22 blood samples will be collected (one tube of 4 mL each) in each study period for PK assessments. The first blood sample will be collected prior to drug administration while the others will be collected up to 120 hours after drug administration.
The analyte to be measured in the present study will be fluconazole. Fluconazole plasma concentrations will be measured according to a validated bioanalytical method.
Subjects are to be discharged from the clinic after the 24-hour postdose PK sample collection, and following medical approval. However, they may be advised to stay at the clinical site for safety reasons, if judged necessary by the physician in charge. Subjects will return to the clinic for blood collections at 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours postdose.
The expected terminal elimination half-life of fluconazole is 34 hours. To avoid any carry-over effect, a wash-out of 21 calendar days is planned between drug administrations.
The decision of which subjects will be included in the PK analysis is to be documented by the pharmacokineticist (or delegate) and approved by the sponsor before the start of the sample analysis by the bioanalytical facility. Subjects who are expected to provide evaluable PK data for both the Test and Reference products (based on viable PK samples) will be included in the PK analysis. Concentration data of the remaining subjects will be presented separately. Subjects who do not complete the sampling schedule of one or more study periods may be included in the PK and statistical analysis and bioequivalence determination for only the PK parameters that are judged not to be affected by the missing sample(s).
The parameter Tmax will be analyzed using a non-parametric approach. Test of fixed period, sequence and treatment effects will be based on the Wilcoxon's rank sum test (Mann-Whitney U-test). When appropriate (e.g. small or sparse sample), the exact version of the test will also be presented. All primary endpoints will be statistically analyzed using an ANOVA model. The fixed factors included in this model will be the subject effect (nested within sequence), the treatment received, the period at which it was given, as well as the sequence in which each treatment is received.
The treatment, sequence and period effects will the evaluated at the 5% significance level. Explanations for significant effects will be provided for log transformed PK parameters.
The 90% confidence interval for the exponential of the difference in LSmeans between the Test and Reference product will be calculated for the ln-transformed parameters (Test to Reference ratio of geometric LSmeans).
Statistical inference of fluconazole will be based on a bioequivalence approach using the following standards:
- The ratio of geometric LSmeans with corresponding 90% confidence interval calculated from the exponential of the difference between the Test and Reference for the lntransformed parameters Cmax and AUC0-T should all be within the 80.00 to 125.00% bioequivalence range.
- In case if AUC0-T is less than 80% of AUC0-∞ in more than 20% of the observations, truncated AUC0-72 will be used for bioequivalence assessment instead of AUC0-T. The ratio of geometric LSmeans with corresponding 90% confidence interval calculated from the exponential of the difference between the Test and Reference for the ln-transformed parameters Cmax and AUC0-72 should all be within the 80.00 to 125.00% bioequivalence range.
The safety population will include all subjects who received at least one formulation (Test or Reference). Safety assessments will include physical examination, clinical laboratory test and AE monitoring. Additional safety measurements may be performed at the discretion of the investigator for reasons related to subject safety.
Total study duration: up to 55 days (including screening).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Fluconazole and Diflucan® in people with Bioequivalence, run by Pharmtechnology LLC at 1 site in Canada.
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 19 inclusion and 20 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 30 Nov 2023. 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 Canada. 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?
Maximum observed concentration (Cmax) of fluconazole in plasma after administration of the test and the reference products (time frame: 0.00 (prior to each drug administration) and 0.17, 0.33, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 2.00, 2.50, 3.00, 3.50, 4.00, 5.00, 6.00, 8.00, 12.00, 24.00, 48.00, 72.00, 96.00, 120.00 hours after each drug administration). 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 30 Nov 2023.
