Brief Summary

| |

| --- |

|Temozolomide is an imidazotetrazine-alkylating agent with antitumor activity. At physiological pH the drug get metabolized to monomethyl triazeno imidazole carboxamide (MTIC). MTIC shows cytotoxicity due to alkylation at the O6 position of guanine with additional alkylation also occurring at the N7 position.

This study is being conducted to compare & characterize the relative bioavailability & pharmacokinetic profile of the Sponsor’s formulation (Temozolomide capsule 250 mg) with respect to the reference formulation (Temodal® (Temozolomide) capsules 250 mg) in single oral dose to adult patients with Glioblastoma Multiforme or Anaplastic Astrocytoma under fasting condition,who in the opinion of their treating physicians are candidates for the Temozolomide therapy.

Temozolomide is a cytotoxic drug; hence the study cannot be conducted on the healthy volunteer.

The primary objective of the study is to characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of the sponsor’s test formulation to that of reference formulation & secondary objective is to monitor the safety of the patients.

Bioequivalence will be concluded if the 90% confidence intervals for ln-transformed pharmacokinetic parameters Cmax and AUC0-t fall within the acceptance range of 0.8 – 1.25 for Temozolomide.
