About this study

Official title: Bioequivalence Study of Cefixime Trihydrate 100 mg/5 mL DS in Indonesia Healthy Volunteers

This study was conducted to investigate whether 100 mg/5 mL cefixime trihydrate dry syrup manufactured by PT. Bernofarm, Indonesia was bioequivalent to its reference product, 100 mg/5 mL Suprax® dry syrup manufactured by Odan Laboratories Ltd., Canada registered trademark of Astellas Pharma Inc., Japan.

Read the detailed description

Twenty two healty subjects were given a single dose of 100 mg/5 mL cefixime trihydrate dry syrup or or 100 mg/5 mL Suprax® dry syrup with 240 mL of water. Then the blood samples for cefixime trihydrate was drawn and analyzed using HPLC. All subjects sample plasma were analyzed for pharmacokinetic evaluation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Geometric Mean Ratio

    The ratio between test drug and reference drug

    Measured: 32 hours

  2. 90% confidence intervals

    The two products are considered bioequivalent when the 90% confidence intervals of the cefixime trihydrate geometric mean ratio between test and reference product fall within the range of 80.00-125.00% for AUCt and Cmax.

    Measured: 32 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Pharmacokinetics parameter

    Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: 32 hours

  2. Pharmacokinetics parameter

    Area Under Curve from 0 to 32 hours (AUCt)

    Measured: pre-dose at (0 h) and post dose at 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24 and 32 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cefixime Trihydrate 100 mg/5 mL Dry Syrup and Suprax 100 MG in 5 mL Oral Suspension in people with Drug Use, run by PT Bernofarm 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 8 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 11 Aug 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 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?

Geometric Mean Ratio (time frame: 32 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 NCT04982861, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 11 Aug 2021.
