Bioequivalence Study of Ciprofloxacin in Healthy Adult Subjects Under Fasting Condition

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Healthy Subjects
Interventions
Drug: Ciproxin 750 mg
Registration Number
NCT05532267
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 Ciprofloxacin 750 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 7 days.

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