Condition(s) targeted: Healthy

Intervention: Trazodone HCl (Drug); Trazodone HCl (Drug)

Phase: Phase 1

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Labopharm Inc.

Summary

The objective of the study is to compare the pharmacokinetic profiles of extended-release and immediate-release trazodone formulations

Clinical Details

Official title: Crossover Comparative Bioavailability Study of Trazodone Contramid(r) OAD 300 mg Extended-release Caplets and Desyrel(r) 100 mg Immediate-release Tablets in Healthy Adult Volunteers Under Fasting Conditions

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Bio-availability Study, Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome:

Bioequivalence Based on Cmax

Bioequivalence Based on AUCT

Bioequivalence Based on AUC∞

Secondary outcome:

Time of Maximum Measured Plasma Concentration (Tmax)

Apparent Terminal Elimination Half-Life [T½el]

Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From 0 to 24 Hours [AUC0-24]

Detailed description: The bioavailability of once-daily trazodone extended-release 300 mg caplets (test product) and trazodone immediate-release 100 mg tablets administered q8h (reference product) will be compared in healthy adult volunteers in a randomized, crossover fashion. Morning doses will be administered after an overnight fast. Blood samples will be collected predose and at pre-defined times over 72 hours following the morning dose. Pharmacokinetic parameters will be analyzed using ANOVA. Comparative bioavailability will be assessed on the basis of the ratio of least-squares means and/or 90% confidence interval criteria.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Significant history of hypersensitivity to trazodone or any related products, or

severe hypersensitivity reactions to any drugs

- Presence or history of significant gastrointestinal, liver or kidney disease, or any

other conditions known to interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of drugs or known to potentiate or predispose to undesired effects

- Seated systolic blood pressure lower than 90 or over 140 mmHg or diastolic blood

pressure lower than 50 or over 90 mmHg at screening

alcohol abuse (>3 units of alcohol per day, intake of excessive alcohol, acute or chronic)

- Any clinically significant illness in the previous 28 days before day 1 of this study

lactating
