Study Overview

Brief Summary

This is a Randomized, Open Label, Balanced, Multicentre, Two-Treatment, Two-Period, Two-Sequence, Steady state, Multiple dose, Crossover, Bioequivalence Study of Two formulations of Quetiapine fumarate tablet 300 mg in Adult Patients suffering from schizophrenia. It is expected that sponsors test formulation will show pharmacokinetics similar to that of the reference listed drug and will prove bioequivalent to the reference drug. The trial will be conducted in Indian patients only and within India only. First patient was enrolled in the study on April 20, 2011.
