Information source: GlaxoSmithKline
ClinicalTrials.gov processed this data on August 23, 2015 Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.
Condition(s) targeted: Anxiety Disorders
Intervention: escitalopram 10 mg (Drug); escitalopram 10 mg (Drug)
Phase: Phase 1
Status: Completed
Sponsored by: GlaxoSmithKline Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s): GSK Clinical Trials, Study Director, Affiliation: GlaxoSmithKline
Summary
The objective of this study was to confirm if two formulations of escitalopram tablets are
bioequivalent.
Test product was escitalopram (10 mg; GlaxoSmithKline) and reference product Lexapro® (10
mg escitalopram; Lundbeck). The single dosage was one tablet.
The study was prospective, open-label, randomized, crossover, single dose, with 02
treatments, 02 sequences and 02 periods, under fasting conditions.
The population was composed of 26 healthy volunteers, male adults between 18-50 years.
The comparative bioavailability of the two formulations was evaluated based in statistical
comparisons of relevant pharmacokinetic parameters, obtained from data of drug
concentrations in blood.
