Bioequivalence of Lamnet (Lamotrigine)100mg Tablet With the Reference Product Lamictal 100mg (Lamotrigine) Tablet Under Fasting Conditions
- Registration Number
- NCT04938856
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Karachi
- Brief Summary
Single oral administrations of study drug (Lamnet and Lamictal) in two periods separated by a washout period of 14 days. The washout period will be calculated from day of dosing (Day 2) to at least 14 days post dose in each period.
- Detailed Description
The study drugs will be administered with 240 mL ambient Temperature water after at least 10 hours fasting in each periods.
Pharmacokinetic parameters include Lamotrigine plasma concentrations at the given sampling times. In each period 18 blood samples for plasma Lamotrigine concentrations will be taken on Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6 and Day 7 (at 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 ,4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours post-dose.) The primary parameters to be analyzed are the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), area under the plasma concentration-time curve from zero to the time of the last measurable time point t (AUClast or also termed as AUC0-t) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve from zero to infinity (AUCtotal or, also termed as AUC0-inf) and (AUC0-t)/ (AUC0-inf).
