About this study

Official title: Bioequivalence Study of Furosemide in Indonesian Healthy Volunteers

The purpose of this research was to investigate whether Furosemide 40 mg tablet manufactured by PT. Kimia Farma Tbk was bioequivalent to its reference drug and Lasix® 40 mg Tablet manufactured by PT. Aventis Pharma, Indonesia.

Read the detailed description

Twenty four healty volunteers were given a single dose of Furosemide 40 mg Tablet or Lasix® 40 mg Tablet with 240 mL of water beneath fasting condition. Then the blood samples for Furosemide were drawn and analyzed using UPLC. All subjects sample plasma were analyzed for pharmacokinetic evaluation

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Nov 2023). 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?

Geometric Mean Ratio of Maximum Concentration (time frame: before dosing (0 h) and at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 and 24 hours after drug administration). 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 NCT04982874, which also lists 8 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.
