Bioequivalence Study of Pantoprazole 40 mg DR Tablets and Protonix 40 mg Tablets

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose The objective of this study was to determine the single-dose bioequivalence of the test product, a potential generic 40 mg pantoprazole delayed-release tablet formulation, compared with the reference product, a pantoprazole 40 mg delayed-release tablet formulation (Protonix, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals), following a single dose in the fasted state.

Brief TitleBioequivalence Study of Pantoprazole 40 mg DR Tablets and Protonix 40 mg Tablets
Official TitleA Pharmacokinetic Study to Determine the Bioequivalence of a Test 40 mg Pantoprazole Delayed-Release Tablet, Compared to a Marketed 40 mg Pantoprazole Delayed-Release Tablet (Protonix, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals) When Administered to Healthy Adult Subjects in the Fasted State
Brief Summary
The objective of this study was to determine the single-dose bioequivalence of the test
product, a potential generic 40 mg pantoprazole delayed-release tablet formulation, compared
with the reference product, a pantoprazole 40 mg delayed-release tablet formulation
(Protonix, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals), following a single dose in the fasted state.
Detailed Description
The 90% CI for pantoprazole ln(Cmax), ln[AUC(0-t)], and ln[AUC(0-inf)] for the comparison of
the test product (pantoprazole) versus the reference product (Protonix) should be within the
80 to 125% range required for the conclusion of bioequivalence.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- Non tobacco/nicotine-using (6 months minimum) healthy males and females between 19
and 50 years of age.

- Body weight from 15% below or 15% above, inclusive, the ideal weight for height and
estimated frame, as adapted from the 1983 Metropolitan Life Table.

- Female subjects were surgically sterile, at least two years postmenopausal, or if
sexually active, had a partner who had been vasectomized for at least 6 months, or
agreed to utilize one of the following forms of contraception: barrier (condom with
spermicide or diaphragm with spermicide), IUD, or hormonal (oral, implant,
transdermal patch, or injection) for the following specified times.

Subjects using hormonal contraceptives were on a stable dose for 3 months prior to dosing,
or they agreed to also use a barrier method of birth control from screening through
completion of the study. Subjects having an intrauterine device (IUD) must have had the
IUD in place for at least 2 months prior to dosing, or they agreed to also use a barrier
method of birth control from screening through completion of the study. For other forms of
birth control, the subject had used the method at least 2 weeks prior to screening and
agreed to use the method through completion of the study.

- Voluntary consent to participate in this study as demonstrated by signing the
informed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Persons of Asian origin.

- Females who were pregnant or lactating.

- History of clinically significant gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, neurologic,
hematologic, endocrine, oncologic, pulmonary, immunologic, psychiatric, or
cardiovascular disease, or any other condition that, in the opinion of the
Investigator, could jeopardize the safety of the subject or impact the validity of
the study results.

- History of hypersensitivity, allergic or adverse response to pantoprazole or related
drugs.

- Positive results from HIV antibody screen, hepatitis B surface antigen screen, and/or
hepatitis C antibody screen.

- Participation in a previous clinical trial within 30 days prior to study initiation.

- Donation of one pint or more of whole blood within 56 days prior to study initiation.

- Donation of 2 units of red blood cells within 112 days prior to study initiation.

- Donation of plasma with 7 days prior to study initiation.

- Difficulty in swallowing medication or any gastrointestinal disease that could affect
the drug absorption.

- Abnormal diet or substantial changes in eating habits within 30 days prior to study
initiation. Examples included, but were not limited to, vegetarian, fasting, or
liquid supplement, etc.

- Treatment with any known enzyme-altering agents (barbiturates, phenothiazines, or
cimetidine, etc.) within 30 days prior to study initiation.

- Use of any prescription medication (except hormonal contraceptives for females)
within 14 days prior to study initiation.

- Use of any over-the-counter (OTC) medication, including mega-dose vitamins,
analgesics, herbal/nutritional supplements, and antacids, within 7 days prior to
study initiation.

- Positive urine screen for alcohol or drugs of abuse.
