About this study

Official title: Randomized, Two-Sequence, Two-Treatment, Four-Period, Open-Label, Single Oral Dose, Crossover Bioequivalence Study of Progesterone 200 mg Soft Capsule vs Utrogestan® in Healthy Female Subjects Under Fasting Conditions

This study was designed to assess the bioequivalence of single oral dose of Progesterone 200 mg Soft Capsule (JSC "Farmak", Ukraine) Versus Utrogestan® 200 mg Soft Capsule (Manufacturer by: Cyndea Pharma, S.L., Spain, MAH: Laboratoires Besins International, France) In healthy female subjects under fasting conditions

Read the detailed description

An open-label, randomized, single dose, two-treatment, four-period, two-sequence, fully replicated crossover bioequivalence study with a washout period of 7 days in healthy postmenopausal female subjects under fasting conditions.

During each period 26 blood samples were drawn 5 mL at (-1.00, -0.50, -0.137) before dosing and at 0.50, 1.00, 1.50, 2.00, 2.33, 2.67, 3.00, 3.50, 4.00, 4.50, 5.00, 5.50, 6.00, 7.00, 8.00, 9.00, 10.00, 12.00, 16.00, 24.00, 48.00, 72.00 and 96.00 hours after dosing.

Mode of administration: Orally, with 240 mL of water at dosing in sitting position

Bioequivalence Acceptance Criteria:

▲Cmax (Maximum plasma concentration): Scaled average bioequivalence will be performed. Bioequivalence limits will be defined and widened according to the variance of σw2 within subject variability for the reference based on corrected progesterone.

AUC0-last (the area under the plasma concentration-time curve): The 90% confidence interval for this measure lies within an acceptance range of 80.00% - 125.00% based on corrected Progesterone.

▲Based on Cmax CVR% (Coefficient of Variation Ratio )=50.97% the calculated confidence interval acceptance limits were (69.83%-143.19%)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Progesterone 200 mg Soft Capsule (JSC "Farmak", Ukraine) and Utrogestan® 200 mg Soft Capsule (Manufacturer by: Cyndea Pharma, S.L., Spain, MAH: Laboratoires Besins International, France) in people with Pharmacokinetics, run by Joint Stock Company "Farmak" at 1 site in Jordan.

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 8 inclusion and 37 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 18 Nov 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 Jordan. 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 (time frame: up to 96 hours post-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 18 Nov 2021.
