研究概览

简要总结

RPG Life sciences Ltd has developed generic version of azathioprine 50 mg tablets. The present study aims to evaluate bioequivalence of Azathioprine tablets USP 50 mg, a test formulation against corresponding reference product, Imuran ® 50 mg tablets of Prometheus Laboratories Inc., USA, in adult patients, who are diagnosed to have rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and are presently being treated with azathioprine oral tablets.

**Primary objective:**To characterize the pharmacokinetic profiles of azathioprine and its metabolite 6-MP following a single dose of azathioprine 50 mg tablets under fasting condition and to assess the bioequivalence of azathioprine 50 mg tablets between the Test product and Reference product.

Secondary objective: To monitor the safety and tolerability of azathioprine 50 mg tablets in adult patients, who are diagnosed to have RA and are presently receiving oral azathioprine 50 mg.
