Group Intervention Description Test group Sitagliptin/Metformin HCl 50/850 mg film-coated tablet Thirty minutes after the start of the breakfast, a single dose of the Test formulation was administered with approximately 240 mL of water at ambient temperature Reference group Sitagliptin/Metformin HCl 50/850 mg film-coated tablet Thirty minutes after the start of the breakfast, a single dose of the Reference formulation was administered with approximately 240 mL of water at ambient temperature
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) 48 hours Evaluation of Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax)
Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) 0-t 48 hours Evaluation of plasma concentration-time curve from zero to the time of the last measurable time point t
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of participants with adverse events (AEs), abnormal clinical laboratory test results, physical examination findings and glycemia. 1 week Adverse events were classified by System Organ Class (SOC) and Preferred Term (PT) using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA), version 20.1 (Medrio database) and graded as mild, moderate, or severe.
The principal investigator or qualified designee determined the relationship of any AE to the investigational product.
