A Comparative Study of Rupatadine 10 mg Tablets and Clarinex® 5 mg Tablets Under Fasting Conditions
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is an open-label, single-dose, randomized, three-period, two-treatment, threesequence, crossover, PK, partial replicate, and comparative bioavailability study. This study may be conducted in groups. The same protocol requirements and procedures will be followed for each group.
| Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
This study will allow for the determination of the PK and intra-subject variability of rupatadine and metabolites. In addition, this study will compare the bioavailability of the rupatadine formulation (Drug Product 1) to a FDA-approved reference product (Clarinex®) (Drug Product 2) as far as the rupatadine metabolite desloratadine, and the derived compounds, is concerned.
Comparative bioavailability between Drug Product 1 and Drug Product 2 will be determined by a statistical comparison of the AUCt, AUCinf, and Cmax parameters for desloratadine (UR-12790), 3-OH desloratadine (UR-12788), 5-OH desloratadine (UR-12767), 6-OH desloratadine (UR-12766), and 3-OH-glucuronide-desloratadine (UR-12335).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Comparation of drug products [3 weeks]
To compare the levels of desloratadine (UR-12790) and its related metabolites (UR-2788, UR-12767, UR-12766, UR-12335) after single-dose administration of Drug Product 1 and Drug Product 2 in healthy subjects under fasting conditions
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Bioavailability of drug product 1 [1 week]
To verify the levels of the pre-desloratadine metabolites (UR-12680, UR-12338, UR- 2605, UR-12333, UR-12783) after the administration of Drug Product 1.
- Intra-subject variability [1 week]
To determine the levels of rupatadine (UR-12592) and the intra-subject variability of rupatadine (UR-12592) and its' metabolites after the administration of Drug Product 1.
- Number of adverse events [1 week]
By checking the adverse events ocurring during the study
