About this study

Official title: Pharmacokinetic Properties of Acyclovir

The objective of this present study was to asses the pharmacokinetic properties of acyclovir tablet from new product formulation (PT. Kimia Farma (Persero) Tbk) to its innovator product, Zovirax® tablet (Glaxo Wellcome S.A., Aranda, Spain)

Read the detailed description

Twenty-eight healty subjects were given a single dose of acyclovir tablet or Zovirax® in dosage form 200 mg and 400mg with 240 mL of water. Then the blood samples for acyclovir was drawn and analyzed using LCMS/MS. All subjects sample plasma were analyzed for pharmacokinetic evaluation

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Geometric Mean Ratio

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Feb 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?

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04988646, which also lists 13 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.
