Registration Number
NCT01183234
Lead Sponsor
Shire
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess bioequivalence of 2 capsule strengths.

Detailed Description

This will be a randomised, open-label, two-period, single dose, crossover bioequivalence study in healthy subjects under fasting conditions to assess bioequivalence of 1 x 60 mg capsule methylphenidate compared to 2 x 30 mg capsules methylphenidate. Pharmacokinetics and safety will be assessed.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) for MPH Using Two Different Formulations (Equasym XL and Metadate CD)predose and 0.5, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20 and 24 hours post-dose

Cmax is a term that refers to the maximum (or peak) concentration that a drug achieves in the body after the drug has been administrated.

Area Under the Steady-state Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC 0-t) for Methylphenidate Hydrochloride (MPH) Using Two Different Formulations (Equasym XL and Metadate CD)predose and 0.5, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20 and 24 hours post-dose

AUC 0-t is the area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time 0 to the time of last quantifiable concentration. AUC can be used as a measure of drug exposure. It is derived from drug concentration and time so it gives a measure how much and how long a drug stays in a body.

Time of Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) for MPH Using Two Different Formulations (Equasym XL and Metadate CD)predose and 0.5, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20 and 24 hours post-dose

Tmax is the time after administration of a drug when the maximum plasma concentration in the body is reached.
