Bioequivalence Study of Vigabatrin ORPHELIA Pharma 500mg Soluble Tablets and SabrilTM 500mg Granules for Oral Administration

Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Therapeutic Equivalency
• Interventions: Drug: VGB-ST

• Registration Number: NCT04468282
• Lead Sponsor: Orphelia Pharma

Brief Summary

Methodology:

The study was an open label, randomized, crossover, 2 periods study in 20 healthy male/female volunteers. Subjects received 500 mg of the new formulation of soluble tablets vigabatrin or Sabril, as single oral administration in 2 different study periods depending on the randomization, with a 7-days wash out period between administrations

Detailed Description

Objectives:

Primary objective:

Evaluate bioequivalence between a new paediatric formulation of vigabatrin (VGB-ST) and Sabril granules for oral administration.

Secondary objective:

* Define pharmacokinetic parameters of the new paediatric formulation soluble tablets of vigabatrin (VGB-ST)

* Assess the safety of the new formulation of soluble tablets VGB-ST versus Sabril
