Bioequivalence Study of Aripiprazole in Healthy Adult Subjects Under Fasting Condition

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Healthy Subjects
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT05532254
Lead Sponsor
Future University in Egypt
Brief Summary

To evaluate and compare the relative plasma bioavailability and therefore the bioequivalence of two different immediate release products each containing Aripiprazole 10 mg, after administering a single oral dose, to healthy adult subjects under fasting conditions.

Detailed Description

Enrolled subjects were randomized in a two-phase, two-sequence, cross-over design to receive a single dose of the test product (T) or the reference product (R) at each phase, under fasting conditions, with a wash-out period of 21 days.

Aripiprazole plasma concentration was determined using a validated LC-MS-MS method, followed by Pharmacokinetics, and statistical analysis using Phoenix WinNonlin® software to determine the average bioequivalence.

GroupInterventionDescription
Reference Product (R)Abilify® 10 mg tabletsubjects were administered a single tablet of 10 mg Aripiprazole with approximately 240 ml water after an overnight fast of 10 hours
Test Product (T)Aripiprazole 10 mg tabletsubjects were administered a single tablet of 10 mg Aripiprazole with approximately 240 ml water after an overnight fast of 10 hours
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Truncated area under the plasma concentration curve from administration to last observed (AUC 0-72h)Pre-dose (0) and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5,3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours post dose

The AUC (0-72h) is the area under the Aripiprazole plasma concentration with time curve from the time of dosing to the 72-hour sample

Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax)Pre-dose (0) and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5,3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours post dose

Cmax is observed as the maximum of Aripiprazole peak concentration

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Maximum time (Tmax)Pre-dose (0) and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5,3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours post dose

Time until Cmax is reached
