About this study

Official title: Single Dose Crossover Comparative Bioavailability Study of Sitagliptin/Metformin 50 mg/1000 mg Film-coated Tablets in Healthy Male and Female Volunteers / Fed State

The objective of this study was to determine the bioequivalence of two different formulations of sitagliptin/ metformin after a single oral dose administration under fed conditions.

Being tested
Sitagliptin/metformin hydrochloride (HCl) 50/1000 mg film-coated tablet
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Sitagliptin/metformin hydrochloride (HCl) 50/1000 mg film-coated tabletDrug

    The subjects randomly received single oral dose of Sitagliptin/metformin hydrochloride (HCl) 50/1000 mg film-coated tablet

Study groups in NCT05549583
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Reference groupExperimentalThirty minutes after the start of the breakfast, a single dose of the Reference formulation was administered with approximately 240 mL of water at ambient temperature
Receives: Drug: Sitagliptin/metformin hydrochloride (HCl) 50/1000 mg film-coated tablet
Test groupExperimentalThirty minutes after the start of the breakfast, a single dose of the Test formulation was administered with approximately 240 mL of water at ambient temperature
Receives: Drug: Sitagliptin/metformin hydrochloride (HCl) 50/1000 mg film-coated tablet

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    Evaluation of Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: 48 hours

  2. Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) 0-t

    Evaluation of plasma concentration-time curve from zero to the time of the last measurable time point t

    Measured: 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of participants with adverse events (AEs), abnormal clinical laboratory test results, physical examination findings and glycemia.

    Adverse events were classified by System Organ Class (SOC) and Preferred Term (PT) using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA), version 20.1 (Medrio database) and graded as mild, moderate, or severe.

    The principal investigator or qualified designee determined the relationship of any AE to the investigational product.

    Measured: 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Sitagliptin/metformin hydrochloride (HCl) 50/1000 mg film-coated tablet in people with Bioequivalence and Type 2 Diabetes, run by Galenicum Health 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 0 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 22 Sep 2022. 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?

Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) (time frame: 48 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 NCT05549583, 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 22 Sep 2022.
