Summary

A study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and bioequivalence of sumatriptan delivered by the Intraject system.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Randomized, Open-Label, Single-Dose, Four-Way Crossover Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics and Bioequivalence of Sumatriptan Delivered Via the Intraject System Versus IMITREX STATdose at Three Injection Sites in Healthy Adults

Study design: Basic Science, Randomized, Open Label, Active Control, Crossover Assignment, Pharmacokinetics Study

Primary outcome: The area under the plasma concentration-time curve, maximal plasma concentration, time to maximal concentration, terminal elimination half-life, and apparent terminal elimination rate constant of sumatriptan will be determined at each of 3 sites

Detailed description: A single center, randomized, single-dose, open-label, partial-block, four-period, four-way crossover study in 54 healthy adult subjects to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and bioequivalence of sumatriptan delivered by the Intraject system compared to IMITREX STATdose at three injection sites (abdomen, thigh, and arm.)
