A Pharmacokinetic Study to Evaluate the Bioequivalence of a Test Formulation Compared to an Equivalent Dose of a Reference Drug Product

Phase 4
Conditions
Healthy Adult Subjects
Interventions
Drug: Esomelone Powder for Solution for Injection / Infusion 40 mg
Registration Number
NCT02444507
Lead Sponsor
isRed Pharma & Biotech Research Corporation
Brief Summary

To assess the bioequivalence of esomeprazole of the TEST product vs. the REFERENCE product in healthy volunteers who reside in Taiwan.

Detailed Description

This study is designed to assess the bioequivalence of esomeprazole of the TEST product vs. the REFERENCE product in healthy volunteers who reside in Taiwan. Bioequivalence will be assumed if the 90% confidence interval of the AUC0-t, AUC0-inf and Cmax ratio are within the 80-125% interval for log-transformed values.
