A Study to Demonstrate the Bioequivalence of Sitagliptin/Metformin Combination Tablets and Co-administration of Sitagliptin and Metformin as Individual Tablets

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose A three part study to demonstrate the bioequivalence of a single dose of the Final Market Image (FMI) of sitagliptin/metformin 50/500, 50/850 and 50/1000 mg Fixed-Dose Combination (FDC) tablet and co-administration of corresponding doses of sitagliptin and metformin as individual tablets. Subject will only participate in one part, receiving treatment A and B (Part I), Treatment C and D (Part II) or Treatment E and F (Part III).

Current Primary Outcome MeasuresThe area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) after administration of sitagliptin/metformin (50/500; 50/850; 50/1000 mg/mg) FDC tablet and co-administration of corresponding doses of sitagliptin and metformin as individual tablets. [Time Frame: Up to 72 hours postdose] [Designated as safety issue: No]
Current Secondary Outcome MeasuresPeak plasma concentration (Cmax) for metformin after administration of sitagliptin/metformin (50/500; 50/850, 50/1000 mg/mg) FDC tablet and co-administration of corresponding doses of sitagliptin and metformin as individual tablets. [Time Frame: Up to 72 hours postdose] [Designated as safety issue: No]
