Bioequivalence study to compare Xeloda and Capecitabine tablets in patients with colorectal cancer or breast cancer

Completed
Conditions
Patients with colorectal cancer or breast cancer
Registration Number
CTRI/2013/05/003665
Lead Sponsor
Biocad India Private Limited
Brief Summary

This is an open label comparative randomized crossover bioequivalence study. The study will include upto 26 patients with colorectal cancer or breast cancer of both sexes aged 18 – 60 years who receive capecitabine monotherapy at a dose of 1250 mg/m2 as a 14-day cycles followed by 7-day intervals. The study will be conducted at 4 sites in India. The primary goal of the study is to study bioequivalence of BCD-031 (capecitabine, CJSC BIOCAD, Russia) and Xeloda® (Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd, Switzerland) after single oral administration in colorectal cancer (CRC) or breast cancer (BC) patients.xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /
