About this study

Official title: Comparative Randomized, Single Dose, Two-way Crossover, Open-label Study to Determine the Bioequivalence of Cefadroxil From Duricef 1 gm Film Coated Tablets (Smithkline Beecham Egypt, LLC Affiliated Co. to GalaxoSmithKline ) and Biodroxil 1 gm Film Coated Tablets (Kahira Pharm &Chem .Ind. Co. for Novartis Pharma ) After a Single Oral Dose Administration of Each to Healthy Adults Under Fasting Conditions

This is an open-label, randomized, single dose, two-sequence two-period crossover study, separated by 7 days washout interval from the first Study Drug Administration. This study is conducted to determine the bioequivalence of cefadroxil from DURICEF™ film coated tablets manufactured by Smithkline Beecham Egypt, LLC affiliated co. to GalaxoSmithKline (GSK) and cefadroxil from BIODROXIL™ film coated tablets manufactured by Kahira Pharm \&Chem .Ind. Co . for Novartis Pharma (NP) after a single oral dose administration of each to healthy adult subjects under fasting conditions. In Period 1, subjects will be randomized to receive cefadroxil tablet manufactured by either GSK or NP. Following a washout of at least 7 days, subjects will be crossed over in Period 2 to receive the cefadroxil tablet that they did not receive in Period 1. DURICEF is a trademark of the GSK group of companies. BIODROXIL is a trademark of Sandoz.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximal Measured Plasma Concentration (Cmax) After a Single Dose

    Plasma samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis were drawn at indicated time points of each treatment period. Cmax was defined as maximal measured plasma concentration over the time span specified.

    Measured: Pre-dose (0.00) and 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, 2.00, 2.50, 3.00, 4.00, 6.00, 8.00, 10.00 and 12.00 hours post-dose in each treatment period.

  2. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to the Last Measurable Concentration (AUC0-t) and Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity (AUC0-infinity)

    Plasma samples for PK analysis were drawn at indicated time points of each treatment period. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero (0) to the last measurable concentration (t), as calculated by the linear trapezoidal method. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero (0) to infinity (AUC0-infinity) was calculated as the sum of the AUC0-t plus the ratio of the last measurable plasma concentration to the elimination rate constant (Ke), where first-order elimination or terminal rate constant calculated from a semi-log plot of the plasma concentration versus time curve. The parameter was calculated by linear least-squares regression analysis using the last three (or more) non-zero plasma concentrations.

    Measured: Pre-dose (0.00) and 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, 2.00, 2.50, 3.00, 4.00, 6.00, 8.00, 10.00 and 12.00 hours post-dose in each treatment period.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Time of the Maximum Plasma Concentration (T-max) and Terminal Half- Life (T-half)

    Plasma samples for PK analysis were drawn at indicated time points of each treatment period. If the maximum value occurs at more than one point T-max was defined as the first time point with this value. The elimination or terminal half-life was calculated by dividing 0.693 (natural logarithm of 2) with lambda z, where lambda z is the terminal phase rate constant estimated by linear regression analysis of the log transformed concentration-time data after each single dose.

    Measured: Pre-dose (0.00) and 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, 2.00, 2.50, 3.00, 4.00, 6.00, 8.00, 10.00 and 12.00 hours post-dose in each treatment period.

  2. Apparent First-order Elimination or Terminal Rate Constant (Ke)

    Plasma samples for PK analysis were drawn at indicated time points of each treatment period. Apparent first-order elimination or terminal rate constant calculated from a semi-log plot of the plasma concentration versus time curve. The parameter was calculated by linear least-squares regression analysis using the last three (or more) non-zero plasma concentrations.

    Measured: Pre-dose (0.00) and 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, 2.00, 2.50, 3.00, 4.00, 6.00, 8.00, 10.00 and 12.00 hours post-dose in each treatment period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Cefadroxil tablets manufactured by GSK and Cefadroxil tablets manufactured by NP in people with Infections, Urinary Tract, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in Egypt.

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 5 inclusion and 15 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 21 Sep 2017. 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 Egypt. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Apr 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Maximal Measured Plasma Concentration (Cmax) After a Single Dose (time frame: Pre-dose (0.00) and 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, 2.00, 2.50, 3.00, 4.00, 6.00, 8.00, 10.00 and 12.00 hours post-dose in each treatment period.). 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 21 Sep 2017.
