About this study

Official title: Bioequivalence Study of 0.25 mg Pramipexole Tablets Produced by PT Dexa Medica for PT Ferron Par Pharmaceuticals in Comparison With the Comparator Product (Sifrol® 0.25 mg Tablet, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co. KG, Germany for Boehringer Ingelheim International, GmbH, Germany)

The present study was conducted to find out whether the bioavailability of 0.25 mg pramipexole tablets produced by PT Dexa Medica for PT Ferron Par Pharmaceuticals was equivalent to the reference drug (Sifrol® tablet 0.25 mg, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH \& Co. KG, Germany for Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH, Germany).

Read the detailed description

This was a randomized, open label, two-period, two-sequence, crossover study under fasting condition. The participating subjects were required to have an overnight fast and in the next morning were given orally one tablet of the test drug (Pramipexole 0.25 mg produced by PT Dexa Medica for PT Ferron Par Pharmaceuticals) or one tablet of the reference drug (Sifrol® 0.25 mg, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH \& Co. KG, Germany for Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH, Germany).

Blood samples were drawn immediately before taking the drug (control), at 20, 40 minutes, and 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 48 hours after drug administration. Seven days after the first drug administration (washout period), the procedure was repeated using the alternate drug. The plasma concentrations of pramipexole were determined by validated ultra performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry detector (UPLC-MS/MS).

What is being measured

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

  1. AUCt

    Area under plasma concentration time curve from time zero to the last observed quantifiable concentration was determined from plasma concentrations of pramipexole from the test drug and reference drug.

    Measured: 48 hours

  2. AUCinf

    Area under plasma concentration time curve from time zero to infinity was determined from plasma concentrations of pramipexole from the test drug and reference drug.

    Measured: 48 hours

  3. Cmax

    The peak plasma concentration of the drug was determined from plasma concentrations of pramipexole from the test drug and reference drug.

    Measured: 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Tmax

    The time needed to achieve the peak plasma concentration was determined from plasma concentrations of pramipexole from the test drug and reference drug.

    Measured: 48 hours

  2. T1/2

    The elimination half life was determined from plasma concentrations of pramipexole from the test drug and reference drug.

    Measured: 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pramipexole Dexa Medica and Pramipexole Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma in people with Healthy, run by Dexa Medica Group at 1 site in Indonesia.

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 4 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 Jan 2016. 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 Indonesia. 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.

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?

AUCt (time frame: 48 hours). 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 21 Jan 2016.
