Conditions
Healthy
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02183012
Lead Sponsor
Boehringer Ingelheim
Brief Summary

* Study to demonstrate average bioequivalence between a 400 mg ibuprofen extrudate tablet (Test) and a 400 mg ibuprofen lysinate tablet (Dolormin extra ®; reference 1) under fasted conditions.

* Study to determine the relative bioavailability of ibuprofen following single administration of a 400 mg ibuprofen extrudate tablet (Test) compared to a 400 mg ibuprofen tablet (Brufen® 400mg, Denmark; Reference 2) under fasted conditions.

* Study to determine the relative bioavailability of ibuprofen following single administration of a 400 mg ibuprofen extrudate tablet (Test) compared to a 400 mg ibuprofen lysinate tablet (Dolormin extra ®; reference 1) or a 400 mg ibuprofen tablet (Brufen® 400mg, Denmark; Reference 2), respectively, under fed conditions.

* Study to evaluate the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of ibuprofen for all three formulations.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Healthy males and females according to the following criteria:

    • Based upon a complete medical history, including the physical examination, vital signs (BP, PR), 12-lead ECG, clinical laboratory tests:

      • No finding deviating from normal and of clinical relevance
      • No evidence of a clinically relevant concomitant disease.

Exclusion Criteria
  • Gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic, immunological or hormonal disorders

  • Surgery of gastrointestinal tract (except appendectomy)

  • History of recent surgery including dental surgery

  • History of gastrointestinal ulcer or gastrointestinal inflammation (gastritis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease)

  • Blood dyscrasias of unknown origin

  • Subjects with porphyries diseases

  • Diseases of the central nervous system (such as epilepsy) or psychiatric disorders or neurological disorders

  • History of relevant orthostatic hypotension, fainting spells or blackouts

  • Chronic or relevant acute infections

  • History of allergy/hypersensitivity/allergic rhinitis (including drug allergy) which is deemed relevant to he trial as judged by the investigator

  • Intake of drugs with a long half-life (> 24 hours) within at least one month or less than 10 half-lives of the respective drug prior to administration or during the trial except substitution therapy (thyroid, ovaries) and hormonal contraception

  • Use of any drugs, which might influence the results of the trial (within 10 days prior to administration or during the trial)

  • Participation in another trial with an investigational drug (within two months prior to administration or during the trial)

  • Smoker (more than 10 cigarettes or 3 cigars or 3 pipes/day)

  • Inability to refrain from smoking on trial days

  • Alcohol abuse (more than 60 g/day)

  • Drug abuse

  • Blood donation (more than 100 mL within four weeks prior to administration or during the trial)

  • Excessive physical activities (within one week prior to administration or during the trial)

  • Any laboratory value outside the reference range of clinical relevance

  • Inability to comply with dietary regimen of study centre

  • For female subjects:

    • Pregnancy
    • Positive pregnancy test
    • No adequate contraception e.g. oral contraceptives, sterilisation, IUP (intrauterine pessary: in case a IUP was used for contraception, volunteers must be advised to employ additional contraceptive measures (e.g. condom by partner) because prostaglandin inhibition may alter IUP contraceptive efficacy)
    • Inability to maintain this adequate contraception during the whole study period
    • Lactation period
