This study also aims to monitor the safety of the subjects. This study is an open-label, randomized, fed, single oral dose, two-treatment, two-sequence, and two-period crossover study with a washout interval of at least one week between dosing.

Eighteen (18) Tunisian subjects will be enrolled in this study. Subjects will be healthy volunteers, adults, aged between eighteen to fifty (18-50) years, (both inclusive), within the accepted limits for body height \& weight and meeting the selection criteria for this study

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to assess bioequivalence between a single oral dose from the test product Metformin / Vildagliptin tablets (1000 mg as metformin hydrochloride / 50 mg as vildagliptin) manufactured by SAIPH versus the reference product Galvumet® tablets (1000 mg as metformin hydrochloride / 50 mg as vildagliptin) manufactured by Novartis. This study also aims to monitor the safety of the subjects. This study is an open-label, randomized, fed, single oral dose, two-treatment, two-sequence, and two-period crossover study with a washout interval of at least one week between dosing.

Eighteen (18) Tunisian subjects will be enrolled in this study. Subjects will be healthy volunteers, adults, aged between eighteen to fifty (18-50) years, (both inclusive), within the accepted limits for body height \& weight and meeting the selection criteria for this study.

Products under investigation for this study:

Test Product: Metformin / Vildagliptin tablets (850 mg as metformin hydrochloride / 50 mg as vildagliptin) manufactured by SAIPH, Tunisia.

Reference Product: Galvumet® tablets (850 mg as metformin hydrochloride / 50 mg as vildagliptin) manufactured by Novartis.

Metformin and vildagliptin are two oral antidiabetic drugs. Metformin belongs to the biguanide class. Vildagliptin is a selective inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). Metformin and vildagliptin are indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type two diabetes mellitus.

This study will be conducted according to the principles of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) that have their origins in the Declaration of Helsinki.

This study will be subject to the review and approval of the Persons Protection Committee and of the Pharmacy and Medicine Department.

Subjects will not be recruited without obtaining their informed consent. Subjects will be covered for adverse events through an insurance company. Subjects will be housed in each study period at least 12 hours before dose administration and until 36 hours after dosing.

Subjects will be in a sitting position on chairs for the first 4 hours that follow the dose.

After an overnight fast of ten to twelve (10-12) hours and in the morning of the second day of each study period (day 2), a standard high-fat breakfast (800-1000 calories) will be served to subjects, thirteen (30) minutes before dosing.

At 08:00 am, the study products will be administered orally in a randomized fashion with 240 ± 2 mL warm 20% glucose solution.

During each period of the study, 21 blood samples of 7 mL each will be collected (via an indwelling cannula into lithium heparin tubes) according to the following schedule: Pre-dosing (zero time) and 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.50, 2.00, 2.5, 3.00, 3.50, 4.00, 4.5, 5.00, 6.00, 7.00, 8.00, 10.00, 12.00, 14.00, 24.00 \& 36.00 hours post-dosing.

After collection, the blood samples will be placed in an ice bath or other chilling device until centrifugation.

Before each period of the study, a 21 mL blood sample will be collected for bio-analytical purposes.

A blood sample of 3 mL may be needed for a possible control. Samples will be centrifuged at 4000 rounds per minute for 5 minutes at 10°C. Supernatant plasma will be transferred to pre-labeled polypropylene Eppendorf tubes and stored in freezers at a nominal temperature of -20 C unless otherwise advised by the stability studies on samples. Samples from all subjects will be analyzed at the bio-analytical site of the CNPV according to a validated in-house procedure using a validated Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Tandem method for the plasma concentrations of metformin \& vildagliptin.

The primary endpoints would be obtaining the following pharmacokinetic parameters for metformin \& vildagliptin: Cmax, Air Under Cover (AUC) 0 - t \& AUC 0 - ∞.

Secondary endpoints would be obtaining the following pharmacokinetic parameters for metformin \& vildagliptin: Tmax, T half \& K elimination (λz).

Statistical analysis of primary endpoints will include descriptive statistics, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and Confidence Interval (CI).

The average bioequivalence of the products is concluded if the two-sided 90 % CI for the test-to-reference ratio of the population means is within 80.00 - 125.00 % for each of the Ln-transformed data of the following primary endpoints for metformin \& vildagliptin: Cmax, AUC 0 - t \& AUC 0 - ∞ and if there were no safety concerns and both products were well tolerated by the study subjects.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Metformin / Vildagliptin Film Coated Tablets (850 mg / 50 mg) and Galvumet® Film Coated Tablets (850 mg / 50 mg) in people with Fed Conditions, run by Reseach Laboratory of Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology at 1 site in Tunisia.

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 21 inclusion and 6 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 27 Oct 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 Tunisia. 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: 2 - 4 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?
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 27 Oct 2023.
