Overview

Brief Summary

This is an open-label, randomized study evaluating the short-term glycemic effects of two concentrations of liquid metformin formulations (100 mg/mL and 250 mg/mL) compared with standard immediate-release metformin tablets in healthy adult subjects. Participants will receive single or short-term doses of study treatments in a randomized sequence. Blood glucose measurements and other glycemic indicators will be collected to assess short-term pharmacodynamic effects. Safety and tolerability will also be monitored.

  • Body mass index (BMI) between 18.0 and 30.0 kg/m², inclusive.
  • Medically healthy based on medical history, physical examination, vital signs, 12-lead ECG, and clinical laboratory evaluations, in the opinion of the investigator.
  • Fasting blood glucose within the normal reference range at screening.
  • Non-smoker or light smoker (10 cigarettes per day or fewer, or equivalent) willing to abstain during each study confinement period.
  • Able to understand and provide written informed consent before participation.
  • Willing and able to comply with all study procedures, including fasting requirements, glycemic assessments, and timed blood draws.
  • Females of childbearing potential must use acceptable contraception as determined by the investigator.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to metformin or any excipients in the study formulations.
  • History or presence of any clinically significant cardiovascular, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine, hematologic, neurologic, or psychiatric condition that, in the investigator's judgment, could interfere with study participation or data interpretation.
  • Fasting blood glucose outside the normal reference range at screening, or any history of hypoglycemia or glucose regulation disorders.
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \< 90 mL/min/1.73 m² or any clinically significant abnormal clinical laboratory results.
  • History of lactic acidosis.
  • Use of prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, herbal supplements, or dietary supplements within 14 days before first study dosing, unless approved by the investigator.
  • Positive test for hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C antibody, or HIV.
  • Positive urine drug screen or positive alcohol breath test at screening or admission.
  • Participation in another clinical study or receipt of an investigational product within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) before the first study dose.
  • Donation of ≥450 mL of blood, or significant blood loss, within 8 weeks before the first study dose.
