Intervention: Epinastine (Drug); Pseudoephedrine (Drug); Epinastine + Pseudoephedrine combination (Drug)

Phase: Phase 1

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Boehringer Ingelheim

Summary

Study to compare the bioavailable fraction of epinastine and pseudoephedrine when administered as a fixed dose combination in tablet form (new pharmaceutical formulation), with that obtained with each of these drugs when administered separately to healthy volunteers.

Clinical Details

Official title: Study of the Pharmacokinetic Interactions and Relative Bioavailability of Epinastine and Pseudoephedrine in Healthy Volunteers, Comparing Tablets Containing the Fixed Combination of the Two Substances With Tablets Containing Each of the Two Substances Separately

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome:

Area under the curve (AUC) of the analyte in plasma

Index of the absorption rate Cpmax/AUCt (Peak plasma concentration/Area under the curve from zero to 24 hours)

Secondary outcome:

Peak plasma concentration (Cpmax)

Tmax (Time to reach Cpmax)

T1/2 (Drug half-life)

Number of patients with adverse events

Number of withdrawals and discontinuations due to safety reasons

Number of patients with clinically significant changes in vital signs
