Bioequivalence Study of Aripiprazole From Apipe 10 mg Orally Disintegrating Tablets (Man. by: P&C Labs (Pellets & CR Products), Egypt) Versus Abilify 10 mg Orodispersible Tablets (Otsuka Pharmaceutical Netherlands B.V., Netherlands)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Comparative randomized, single dose, two-way crossover bioequivalence study to determine the bioequivalence of Aripiprazole from Apipe 10 mg orally disintegrating tablets (Man. by: P&C Labs (Pellets&CR Products), Egypt) versus Abilify 10 mg orodispersible tablets (Otsuka Pharmaceutical Netherlands B.V., Netherlands ) in Healthy Human Volunteers Under Fasting Condition

Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
Healthy male volunteers, 45-55 years of age, selected from the Egyptian population fulfilling the selection criteria. 24 subjects will participate in the study. All dosed subject samples will be analyzed and their data will be included in the final study report 18 blood samples will be drawn in each period. The total volume of blood will not exceed 200 ml throughout the whole study. 0.00, 0.50, 1.00, 1.50, 2.00, 2.50, 3.00, 3.50, 4.00, 4.50, 5.00, 5.50, 6.00, 8.00, 12.00, 24.00, 48.00, 72.00 hours.
Primary Pharmacokinetic Parameters: Cmax, Truncated AUC0→72 Secondary Pharmacokinetic Parameters: Ke, tmax and t1/2e. ANOVA using 5% significance level for transformed (with the 90% confidence intervals) and untransformed data of Cmax and Truncated AUC0→72 for untransformed data of Ke, tmax and t1/2e.
The confidence intervals of logarithmically transformed Test/Reference ratios for Truncated AUC0→72 and Cmax to be within 80.00-125.00%.
