- Brief Summary
This is a multicentric, open-label, randomized, two-treatment,two-sequence, two-period, cross-over, multiple dose, steady state, clinicalbioequivalence study of Cariprazine Capsules 6 mg of Aurobindo Pharma Limited,India (Test) with VRAYLAR (Cariprazine) Capsules 6 mg of Allergan USA, Inc. Irvine, CA 92612, USA(Reference) in patients already receiving a stable dose of Cariprazine capsules6 mg under fasting condition.
Patients will be titrated and clinically stabilized for at least 04weeks to a dose of 6 mg of the reference product after preliminary screening.Patients who meet the requirements for study participation will be randomized.The hospital duration for each patient will be about 29 days.
The study will be planned to investigate bioequivalence of AurobindoPharma’s Test formulation with Reference formulation (T Vs R). Patients willreceive allotted drug once daily from Day 1 to Day 14 and alternate studytreatment as per randomization from Day 15 to Day 28 without washout periodwith 240 mL of water.
