Study Overview
Brief Summary
The objective of this study was to find out whether the bioavailability of PT Dexa Medica's formulation of 4 mg perindopril tert-butylamine tablets was equivalent to that of the innovator's product (Prexum® 4 mg, Servier).
Detailed Description
The participating subjects were required to have an overnight fast and in the next morning were given orally one tablet of the test drug (Perindopril 4 mg tablets of PT Dexa Medica) or one tablet of the reference drug (Prexum® 4 mg, Servier).
Blood samples were drawn immediately before taking the drug (control), and at 20, 40 minutes, and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 96, 144, 192 hours after drug administration.
Three weeks after the first drug administration (washout period), the procedure was repeated using the alternate drug.
The pharmacokinetic parameters, including AUCt, AUCinf, Cmax, t max, and t1/2, were determined based on the concentrations of the perindopril parent compound and the metabolite perindoprilat, using high-performance liquid chromatography method with tandem mass spectrometry detector (LC-MS/MS).

Arms & Interventions
Perindopril 4 mg tablets of PT Dexa Medica
Group I (Test product): each tablet contains perindopril tert-butylamine salt 4 mg.
A single dose of perindopril tablet of PT Dexa Medica was given to each of study subjects.
Intervention: Perindopril 4 mg tablets of PT Dexa Medica (Drug)
Perindopril 4 mg tablets of Servier
Group II (Reference product) : each tablet contains perindopril tert-butylamine salt 4 mg.
A single dose of perindopril (Prexum) tablets of Servier was given to each of study subjects.
Intervention: Perindopril 4 mg tablets of Servier (Drug)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Area under concentration-time curve (AUC)of perindopril parent compound
Time Frame: 192 hours
Relative bioavailability (primarily measured by AUCt and AUCinf) between two perindopril 4 mg tablet formulations (test and reference formulations) under fasting condition. The AUC was measured based on the plasma concentration of perindopril parent compound.
Area under concentration-time curve (AUC)of perindoprilat
Time Frame: 192 hours
Relative bioavailability (primarily measured by AUCt and AUCinf) between two perindopril 4 mg tablet formulations (test and reference formulations) under fasting condition. The AUC was measured based on the plasma concentration of the active metabolite, perindoprilat.
Secondary Outcomes
- Peak plasma concentration (Cmax)of perindopril parent compound(192 hours)
- Peak plasma concentration (Cmax)of perindoprilat(192 hours)
- Time to achieve the peak plasma concentration (tmax)of perindopril parent compound(192 hours)
- Time to achieve the peak plasma concentration (tmax)of perindoprilat(192 hours)
- Elimination half-life (t1/2)of perindoprilat(192 hours)
- Elimination half-life (t1/2)of perindopril parent compound(192 hours)
