A Study to Assess the Bioequivalence of Fixed Dose Combination (FDC) Tablets of Canagliflozin and Metformin Immediate Release (IR) With Respect to the Individual Components of Canagliflozin and Metformin IR Tablets in Healthy Volunteers

Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Healthy
• Interventions: Drug: A (canagliflozin and metformin IR individual tablets) / B (canagliflozin/metformin IR FDC tablets); Drug: B (canagliflozin/metformin IR FDC tablets / A (canagliflozin and metformin IR individual tablets)

• Registration Number: NCT01463228
• Lead Sponsor: Janssen Research & Development, LLC

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the bioequivalence of a fixed dose combination (FDC) tablet of canagliflozin and metformin immediate release (IR) in comparison with the individual components of canagliflozin and metformin IR.

Detailed Description

This is an open-label (identity of study drug will be known to volunteer and study staff), single-center study to evaluate the bioequivalence of canagliflozin and metformin IR when administered orally (by mouth) as individual components (ie, separate tablets of canagliflozin and metformin IR) (Treatment A) and when administered as a fixed dose combination (FDC) tablet (ie, canagliflozin and metformin IR in the same tablet) (Treatment B). Healthy volunteers participating in the study will be randomly (by chance) assigned to receive Treatment A followed by Treatment B or Treatment B followed by Treatment A with a period of approximately 15 days between treatments.
