To evaluate the bioequivalence of two formulation of capecitabine Tablets 500 mg tablets in patients of Breast Cancer or Colorectal Cancer under fed condition

Completed
Conditions
Malignant neoplasm of colon, unspecified,
Registration Number
CTRI/2010/091/000136
Lead Sponsor
Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd India
Brief Summary

This is a multicentre, randomized, open label, two-period, two-treatment, two-way crossover, bioequivalence study comparing Capecitabine Tablets USP 500 mg (Manufactured by: Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd., India) to the reference listed drug Xeloda® (capecitabine) Tablets 500 mg (Distributed by: Roche Laboratories Inc., New Jersey 07110) in patients of Breast Cancer or Colorectal Cancer under fed condition. XELODA® (Capecitabine) is a fluoropyrimidine carbamate with antineoplastic activity In the present study, the relative bioavailability of test formulation [Capecitabine Tablets USP 500 mg (Manufactured by: Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd., India)] in comparison to the reference formulation [Xeloda® (capecitabine) Tablets 500 mg (Distributed by: Roche Laboratories Inc.,New Jersey 07110)] will be assessed after single oral dose (3 x 500 mg tablets) in adult patients with Breast Cancer or Colorectal Cancer. Capecitabine is a cytotoxic drug. It would be unethical to do this study on healthy volunteers. Therefore the bioequivalence study is proposed to be carried out on patients of Breast Cancer or Colorectal cancer, who in the opinion of their treating physicians are candidate for Capecitabine therapy. Moreover, this is also in agreement with the current draft guidance on Capecitabine by OGD, USFDA Totally 110 patient will be enrolled.However, it may be possible that the actual intra-patient variability for the current formulation may differ. The intra-patient variability for the current formulation will be estimated using the data of first 30 patients (completing both the periods) by the biostatistician not involved in the actual statistical analysis of the study using SAS program (Version 9.1.3 or higher). The proboble date of enrollment of the first patient will be 15 May 2010
