- Registration Number
- NCT05340452
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Karachi
- Brief Summary
A two way crossover BE study will be performed to evaluate the comparative bioavailability of Klaribact (Clarithromycin 125 mg/5ml) suspension (Merck Pvt. Ltd, Pakistan) with Klaricid (Clarithromycin 125mg/5ml) suspension (Abbot Laboratories Pakistan Limited) at the clinical site (CBSCR), Karachi Pakistan.
- Detailed Description
The Bioequivalence study of Klaribact Suspension will be conducted on 24 healthy participants. Finally selected subjects will be divided into two groups, Group A and Group B, with 12 subjects in each group. The study will be consisted of two periods, Period I and Period II, each comprising of 35 hours, 11 hours before and 24 hours after the drug administration. A washout period of 6 days will be provided between the two periods to ensure the absence of carry over effect. Each group (A \& B) will be treated with either of the two sequences, TR or RT, in Period I and the sequence will be inter-changed in Period II. blood samples from each volunteer will be collected at specific time points to analyze plasma concentration of Clarithromycin.
