Bioequivalence Study of Fluoxetine in Healthy Adult Subjects Under Fasting Condition

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Healthy Subjects
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT05532332
Lead Sponsor
Future University in Egypt
Brief Summary

To evaluate and compare the relative plasma bioavailability and therefore the bioequivalence of two different immediate release products each Fluoxetine 10 mg, after administering a single oral dose, to healthy adult subjects under fasting conditions.

Detailed Description

Enrolled subjects were randomized in a two-phase, two-sequence, cross-over design to receive a single dose of the test product (T) or the reference product (R) at each phase, under fasting conditions, with a wash-out period of 21 days.

Fluoxetine plasma concentrations were determined using a validated LC-MS-MS method, followed by Pharmacokinetics, and statistical analysis using Phoenix WinNonlin® software to determine the average bioequivalence.

GroupInterventionDescription
Reference Product (R)Prozac® 10 mg capsulessubjects were administered a single hard gelatin capsule of 10 mg Fluoxetine with approximately 240 ml water after an overnight fast of 10 hours
Test Product (T)Fluoxetine 10 mg capsulessubjects were administered a single hard gelatin capsule of 10 mg Fluoxetine with approximately 240 ml water after an overnight fast of 10 hours
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax)(Pre-dose) and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours

Cmax is observed as the maximum of Fluoxetine peak concentration

Truncated area under the plasma concentration curve from administration to last observed (AUC 0-72h)(Pre-dose) and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours

The AUC (0-72h) is the area under the Fluoxetine plasma concentration with time curve from the time of dosing to the 72-hour sample

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Maximum time (Tmax)(Pre-dose) and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours

Time until Cmax is reached
