Registration Number
NCT01678976
Lead Sponsor
Bial - Portela C S.A.
Brief Summary

To investigate the pharmacokinetics of a single 900 mg oral dose of BIA 2-093 and a single 900 mg oral dose of Oxcarbazepine in healthy volunteers and to assess the tolerability of a single 900 mg dose of BIA 2-093 and Oxcarbazepine.

Detailed Description

Single centre, open label, balanced randomised, two-way crossover study in 12 healthy volunteers. The study consisted of 2 periods separated by a washout period of 7 days or more. On each of the study periods the volunteers received either a single 900 mg oral dose of BIA 2-093 or a single 900 mg oral dose of Oxcarbazepine.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Maximum Drug Concentration (Cmax)at pre-dose, ½, 1, 1½, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72 and 96 hours post-dose

Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) was acessed for BIA 2-093 metabolites (BIA 2-194; BIA 2-195) and Oxcarbazepine.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC)at pre-dose, ½, 1, 1½, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72 and 96 hours post-dose

Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) to last measurable time point (AUC0-t) was acessed for BIA 2-093 metabolites (BIA 2-194; BIA 2-195) and Oxcarbazepine.
