Partially Replicate Bioequivalence Study of Quetiapine 25 mg in Healthy Volunteers Under Fasting Condition

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Bioequivalence
Interventions
Drug: Test product (T) 25 mg Film Coated Tablets
Drug: Reference product (R) 25 mg Film Coated Tablets
Registration Number
NCT05235230
Lead Sponsor
Future University in Egypt
Brief Summary

The current study is conducted to evaluate and compare the relative bioavailability for Quetiapine in two different products containing 25 mg Quetiapine after a single oral dose administration under fasting conditions.

Detailed Description

A randomized, single-dose, partial replicate, three-phase, three-sequence, bioequivalence study of the two study products. Blood samples were collected at different time intervals and stored at -70⁰C freezer. Quetiapine plasma concentrations were analyzed using a validated LC-MS-MS method then pharmacokinetics and statistical analysis were performed on the concentrations obtained using Phoenix WinNonlin® software.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax)Pre-dose (0), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 hours post dose

Cmax is observed as the maximum of Quetiapine peak concentration

Area under the plasma concentration curve extrapolated to infinite time (AUC(0-inf))Pre-dose (0), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 hours post dose

AUC(0-inf) "the area under the curve," which is a way of measuring the total amount of the active drug in a subject's system over a period of time from administration ("0") to the time that the drug is no longer present in the subject's body ("infinity")

Area under the plasma concentration curve from administration to last observed concentration at time t (AUC(0-t))Pre-dose (0), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 hours post dose

The AUC (0-t) is the area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time zero (predose) to time of last quantifiable concentration (tlast)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Maximum time (Tmax)Pre-dose (0), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 hours post dose

Time until Cmax is reached

Plasma concentration half-life (t1/2)Pre-dose (0), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 hours post dose

t1/2 is the time taken for the plasma concentration of a drug to reduce to half its original value. It is used to estimate how long it takes for a drug to be removed from your body.

Elimination Rate Constant (Kel)Pre-dose (0), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 hours post dose

Kel is a value used in pharmacokinetics to describe the rate at which a drug is removed from the human system
