Objective: The present study's objective is to conduct a comparative bioavailability study with a special emphasis on the test product's bioequivalence using a standard reference product as a comparator. Methods: Before initiating the bioequivalent study, the plasma sample analysis method was developed and validated by using LC-MS/MS method. The entire study was conducted as a single-dose crossover randomized bioequivalence study with open-label, two treatment, two-period, and two sequences on 24 healthy volunteers under fasting condition. With proper informed consent process the oral dose of the Reference product (R) or Test product (T) was administered on healthy volunteers at 0 h during each period of the study. After the drug's oral administration, a certain quantity of blood sample was collected, and the plasma sample was separated using a cold centrifuge. The plasma samples were analysed by using the validated LC-MS/MS method. The pharmacokinetic parameters, statistical data and ANOVA of the test and reference product were evaluated. Results: The Cmax, Auc0-t, AUC0-∞ and tmax of the test product were found to be 6.29 ng/ml, 117.0 ng. h/ml, 161.67 ng. h/ml and 3.33 h. respectively. And the Cmax, Auc0-t, AUC0-∞ and tmax of reference product were found 6.59 ng/ml, 123.21 ng. h./ml, 172.20 ng. h/ml and 3.38 h respectively. Relative bioavailability was found 94.96%. The overall results show that the 90% confidence intervals (Log-Transformed and Untransformed) for Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ for Azelnidipine were within the acceptable limit of 80%-125%. Conclusion: The entire study's conclusion can be drawn as the test product was bioequivalent with the reference product's comparator.

Abstract Background Vildagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor used to treat diabetes mellitus. No bioequivalence study data have been published for the Indian population comparing bioequivalence of vildagliptin brands Galvus, Zomelis, and Jalra. This study aimed to evaluate the bioequivalence between three brands of vildagliptin 50 mg tablet (test 1, Zomelis; test 2, Jalra; and reference, Galvus) and to compare these test formulations with the reference formulation to meet the regulatory requirements of bioequivalence of CDSCO, India. The study was conducted in the clinical research center of the college after enrolling 12 healthy volunteers. This study was a single-dose, randomized, open-label, balanced, three treatment, three period, under fasting condition in 12 adult healthy volunteers. After overnight fasting, the subjects received a single dose of either of any three brands of the vildagliptin tablet (T1—test 1; T2—test 2; and R—reference). The washout period was 7 days. Randomization was in the way of T1T2R in the first period, T2T1R in the second period, and RT1T2 in the third period. Blood samples were collected, after that drug concentration in the plasma was measured with the help of HPLC. Outcome measures 90% confidence interval of the geometric mean ratios (test/reference) for the LnCmax, LnAUC0-t, and LnAUC0-∞ was calculated. Results The AUC0-t was 1390.03, 1401.50, and 1409.37 ng h/ml for the T1, T2, and R, respectively. Cmax was 287.89, 287.41, and 285.17 ng/ml for the T1, T2, and R, respectively. AUC0-∞ was 1452.03, 1467.59, and 1473.53 ng h/ml for the T1, T2, and R, respectively. No significant difference was observed in the pharmacokinetic parameters between the T1, T2, and R. The geometric mean ratios for T1/R for LnCmax, LnAUC0-t, and LnAUC0-∞ were 1.0014 (90% CI, 1.0002–1.0026), 0.9992 (90% CI, 0.9971–1.0013), and 0.9994 (90% CI, 0.9973–1.0016), respectively. For the T2/R, geometric mean ratios for LnCmax, LnAUC0-t, and LnAUC0-∞ were 1.0003 (90% CI, 0.9992–1.0013), 0.9988 (90% CI, 0.9969–1.0008), and 0.9985 (90% CI, 0.9961–1.0010), respectively. Conclusion In this single-dose study involving Indian healthy volunteers under fasting conditions, the three brands of vildagliptin (Zomelis, Jalra, and Galvus) were bioequivalent as per the bioequivalence criterion of CDSCO, India.

Oral drug delivery is the most preferred route for the various drug molecules among all other routes of drug delivery, because ease of administration which lead to better patient compliance. So, oral extended release drug delivery system becomes a very promising approach for those drugs that are given orally but having the shorter half-life and high dosing frequency. Extended release Extended-release systems allow for the drug to be released over prolonged time periods. By extending the release profile of a drug, the frequency of dosing can be reduced. The study was an open label, balanced, randomized, three-treatment, three-period, three-sequence, single oral dose, crossover, bioequivalence study in normal healthy adult human subjects under fasting condition, with a screening period of 28 days prior to IMP administration in Period-I. In each study period, 27 blood samples, including one pre-dose blood sample, were collected from each subject except for the discontinued / withdrawn subjects to analyze the pharmacokinetic profile of the two test products (T1 and T2) as well as the reference product. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated from the plasma concentration vs. time profile by non-compartmental model using Phoenix® WinNonlin® Version 6.4 (Certara L.P.) for Metoprolol. Out of 18 subjects enrolled, data of 13 subjects were analyzed. Mean Cmax is 31.634 ± 22.6007 ng/mL, 31.241 ± 20.6090 ng/mL and 31.773 ± 23.1819 ng/mL, mean AUCo-t is722.992 ± 584.3793 ng hr/mL, 658.192 ± 492.3416 ng hr/mL and 706.219 ± 546.5064 ng hr/mL, mean AUC0-inf is 751.204 ± 631.9623 ng hr/mL, 676.939 ± 519.1306 ng hr/mL and729.505 ± 578.1691 ng hr/mL for test product (T1), test product (T2) and reference product (R).Test Products (T1 and T2) when compared with the Reference Product-R meets the bioequivalence criteria with respect to Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ for Metoprolol under fasting condition as per criteria set in the protocol.

Purpose: To investigate whether fluvoxamine coadministration can influence the pharmacokinetic properties of nebivolol and its active hydroxylated metabolite (4-OH-nebivolol) and to assess the consequences of this potential pharmacokinetic interaction upon nebivolol pharmacodynamics. Methods: This open-label, non-randomized, sequential clinical trial consisted of two periods: Period 1 (Reference), during which each volunteer received a single dose of 5 mg nebivolol and Period 2 (Test), when a combination of 5 mg nebivolol and 100 mg fluvoxamine was given to all subjects, after a 6-days pretreatment regimen with fluvoxamine (50-100 mg/day). Non-compartmental analysis was used to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of nebivolol and its active metabolite. The pharmacodynamic parameters (blood pressure and heart rate) were assessed at rest after each nebivolol intake, during both study periods. Results: Fluvoxamine pretreatment increased Cmax and AUC0-∞  of nebivolol (Cmax: 1.67 ± 0.690  vs 2.20 ± 0.970  ng/mL; AUC0-∞: 12.1 ± 11.0  vs 19.3 ± 19.5  ng*h/mL ) and of its active metabolite (Cmax: 0.680  ± 0.220  vs 0.960 ± 0.290  ng/mL; AUC0-∞: 17.6 ±20.1  vs 25.5 ± 29.9  ng*h/mL). Apart from Cmax,AUC0-t and AUC0-∞, the other pharmacokinetic parameters (tmax, kel and t½) were not significantly different between study periods. As for the pharmacodynamic analysis, decreases in blood pressure and heart rate after nebivolol administration were similar with and without fluvoxamine concomitant intake. Conclusions: Due to enzymatic inhibition, fluvoxamine increases the exposure to nebivolol and its active hydroxylated metabolite in healthy volunteers. This did not influence the blood pressure and heart-rate lowering effects of the beta-blocker administered as single-dose. However, more detail studies involving actual patients are required to further investigate the clinical relevance of this drug interaction. This article is open to POST-PUBLICATION REVIEW.
