Bioequivalence Study of 2.5-mg Saxagliptin and 500-mg Glucophage in Tablets and a Fixed-dose Combination Tablet in Healthy Participants

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose To demonstrate the bioequivalence of a 2.5-mg saxagliptin/500-mg metformin fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablet to that of 2.5-mg saxagliptin (Onglyza) and 500-mg metformin (Glucophage, marketed in Canada by Sanofi-Aventis) tablets coadministered to healthy participants in the fasted and fed states.

Current Primary Outcome Measures
  • Observed Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Saxagliptin, Tablets and Fixed-dose Combination (FDC), Administered to Participants in the Fasted and Fed States [Time Frame: Days 1, 2, and 3 of Periods 1, 2, 3, and 4] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • Observed Cmax of Metformin, Tablets and FDC, Administered to Participants in the Fasted and Fed States [Time Frame: Days 1, 2, and 3 of Periods 1, 2, 3, and 4] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • Terminal Half-life (t1/2) of Saxagliptin and Metformin, Tablets and FDC, Administered to Participants in the Fasted and Fed States [Time Frame: Days 1, 2, and 3 of Periods 1, 2, 3, and 4] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]
  • Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC[0-t]) for Saxagliptin, Tablets and FDC, Given in the Fasted and Fed States [Time Frame: Days 1, 2, and 3 of Periods 1, 2, 3, and 4] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • AUC[0-t] for Metformin, Tablets and FDC, Given in the Fasted and Fed States [Time Frame: Days 1, 2, and 3 of Periods 1, 2, 3, and 4] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • AUC From Time 0 Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC[0-inf]) for Saxagliptin, Tablets and FDC, Given in the Fasted and Fed States [Time Frame: Days 1, 2, and 3 of Periods 1, 2, 3, and 4] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • AUC[0-inf] for Metformin, Tablets and FDC, Administered in the Fasted and Fed States [Time Frame: Days 1, 2, and 3 of Periods 1, 2, 3, and 4] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • Time to Achieve the Observed Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) for Saxagliptin and Metformin, Tablets and FDC, Administered to Participants in the Fasted and Fed States [Time Frame: Days 1, 2, and 3 of Periods 1, 2, 3, and 4] [Designated as safety issue: No]
Current Secondary Outcome Measures
  • Number of Participants With Death as Outcome, Serious Adverse Events, and Adverse Events (AEs) Leading to Discontinuation [Time Frame: Continuously over Days 1 to 3 of treatment Periods 1, 2, 3, and 4] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]An AE is any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with treatment. An SAE is any unfavorable medical event that at any dose results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or drug dependency or abuse; is life-threatening, an important medical event, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires or prolongs hospitalization.
  • Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Abnormalities in Hematology, Serum Chemistry, and Urinalysis Laboratory Test Results [Time Frame: At screening visit, at Day -1 of Periods 1 through 4, and at discharge] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]Clinically significant was determined by the investigator. Hematology tests included hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell count, total leukocyte count (including differential), and platelet count. Serum chemistry tests included aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, uric acid, fasting glucose, total protein, albumin, sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphorus, and creatine kinase. Urinalysis included protein, glucose, blood, leukocyte esterase, specific gravity, and pH.
  • Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Abnormalities in Electrocardiogram (ECG) Results [Time Frame: At screening visit, Day -1 of Period 1, and at study discharge] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]Clinically significant was determined by the investigator. ECGs were recorded after participants had been supine for at least 5 minutes.
  • Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Abnormalities in Body Temperature, Blood Pressure, or Heart Rate [Time Frame: At screening visit, prior to dosing on Day 1 of Periods 1 through 4, and at study discharge.] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]Clinically significant was determined by the investigator. Blood pressure and heart rate were measured after the participant had been seated quietly for at least 5 minutes.
