Two-way Crossover Study in Healthy Male and Female Subjects to Evaluate the Bioequivalence of Jentadueto®.

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose The objective of the current study is to demonstrate bioequivalence of two 2.5 mg linagliptin/500 mg metformin fixed dose combination tablets compared to the free combination of the linagliptin 5 mg and metformin 1000 mg in healthy male and female volunteers.

Current Primary Outcome Measures
  • Linagliptin: AUC 0-72 (area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma over the time interval from 0 to 72 hours) [Time Frame: 72hours] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • Metformin: AUC0-tz (area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma over the time interval from 0 to the time of the last quantifiable data point) [Time Frame: up to 4 days] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • Linagliptin: Cmax (maximum measured concentration of the analyte in plasma) [Time Frame: up to 4 days] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • Metformin: Cmax (maximum measured concentration of the analyte in plasma) [Time Frame: up to 4 days] [Designated as safety issue: No]
Current Secondary Outcome Measures
  • Linagliptin and metformin: AUC 0-8 (area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity) [Time Frame: up to 4 days] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • Linagliptin: AUC 0-tz (area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma over the time interval from 0 to the time of the last quantifiable data point) [Time Frame: up to 4 days] [Designated as safety issue: No]

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion criteria:

- Signed and dated written informed consent prior to admission to the study in
accordance with Good Clinical Practice and the local legislation

- Healthy males and females according to the following criteria:

Based upon a complete medical history, including physical examination, vital signs (BP,
PR), 12-lead ECG and clinical laboratory tests (haematology, clinical chemistry and
urinalysis).

- Age 18 to 45 years (incl.)

- Body mass index by Quetelet between 18.50 to 24.99 kg/m2 (incl.)

- Female subjects of childbearing potential who agree on using double-barrier
contraception during the study. If a female is postmenopausal (no menses for at least
2 years) or surgically sterile (bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy, or
hysterectomy) she will be exempt from the requirement. In case of using oral
contraceptives, these should be withdrawn at least 2 months before the first drug
dosing.

- Male subjects who agree on using effective contraception during the study (barrier
contraceptive methods)

Exclusion criteria:

- Any finding of the medical examination (including BP, PR and ECG) deviating from
normal and of clinical relevance

- Any laboratory value outside the reference range that is of clinical relevance

- Any evidence of a clinically relevant concomitant disease

- Gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic,
immunological or hormonal disorders

- Positive results of blood tests for infections (HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B or C)

- A positive urine drug screening test at screening and on admission to the trial site
in each treatment period.

- A positive alcohol breath test at screening and on admission to the trial site in
each treatment period.

- Surgery of the gastrointestinal tract (except appendectomy)
