Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: FED
• Interventions: Drug: Mycophenolate Mofetil

• Registration Number: NCT01283867
• Lead Sponsor: Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Limited

Brief Summary

To compare the bioavailability and characterise the pharmacokinetic profile of the sponsor's test formulation with respect to the reference formulation Cellcept® 500 mg tablets, in healthy, adult, human male subjects under non-fasting conditions and to assess the bioequivalence.

Detailed Description

This was an open-label, balanced, randomized, two-treatment, two-period, two-sequence,single dose, crossover bioequivalence study in healthy, adult, human, male subjects under non-fasting conditions.92 healthy male adults were enrolled.A washout period of 07 days was maintained between the successive dosing days.One tablet containing mycophenolate mofetil 500 mg was administered orally with 240 mL water in sitting posture, after 30 minutes of serving of the high fat and high calorie breakfast in each period.
