Comparative assessment of the absorption of a generic formulation of modafinil tablet against the innovator modafinil tablet conducted under fasting conditions in healthy male and female volunteers
- Conditions
- Bioequivalence study conducted in healthy volunteers comparing two formulations of modafinil with no health condition or problem studied. Although this study is being conducted in healthy volunteers who are not being treated for the condition to which the medicine is used, modafinil is an wakefulness promoting agent. It is used to improve wakefulness in patients with excessive sleepiness associated with narcolepsy.Bioequivalence study conducted in healthy volunteers comparing two formulations of modafinil with no health condition or problem studied.Although this study is being conducted in healthy volunteers who are not being treated for the condition to which the medicine is used, modafinil is an wakefulness promoting agent.

- Not specified
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To compare the bioavailability of modafinil (as summarised by Cmax and AUC) for the formulation. All plasma samples will be assayed for modafinil using one fully validated LC/MS/MS method. Validation will be conducted to comply with EU and FDA guidelines. [0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 7.0, 9.0, 12.0, 18.0, 24.0, 32.0, 48.0 and 56.0 hours.]
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Time to maximum peak concentration (Tmax) will be determined by plasma sample analysis. Tmax will be the time where the maximum concentration occurred in the sample points. [0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 7.0, 9.0, 12.0, 18.0, 24.0, 32.0, 48.0 and 56.0 hours.]
