Summary
This study will evaluate the bioequivalence of 105 mg fenofibric acid tablets relative to
145 mg fenofibrate tablets in healthy volunteers when administered following a breakfast of
standard composition. Safety and tolerability of this regimen will also be evaluated.

Official title: A Single-Dose, Bioequivalence Study of 105 mg Fenofibric Acid Tablets Versus 145 mg TriCor® (Fenofibrate) Tablets Under Fed Conditions(Standard Meal)
Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Bio-equivalence Study, Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Basic Science

Detailed description:
Fenofibrate is rapidly and completely hydrolyzed to fenofibric acid, the active moiety. The
primary objective of this study is to evaluate the bioequivalence of 105 mg fenofibric acid
tablets relative to 145 mg fenofibrate tablets in healthy volunteers when administered
following a breakfast of standard composition. Additionally, the safety and tolerability of
this dosing regimen will be evaluated. Fifty-four healthy, non-smoking, non-obese, 18-45
year old, male and female volunteers will be randomly assigned in a crossover fashion to
receive each of two dosing regimens (fenofibric acid and fenofibrate) in sequence with a 7
day washout period between dosing periods. On the morning of Day 1, subjects will receive
either a single oral dose of the test formulation, fenofibric acid (1 x 105 mg tablet) or a
single oral dose of the reference formulation, fenofibrate (1 x 145 mg tablet) 30 minutes
after the initiation of a standard breakfast. After a 7 day washout period, on the morning
of Day 8, subjects will receive the alternate regimen 30 minutes after the initiation of a
standard breakfast. Fasting will continue for 4 hours after each dose. Blood samples will
be drawn from all participants before dosing and for 72 hours post dose at times sufficient
to adequately define the pharmacokinetics of fenofibric acid. Subjects will be monitored
throughout their participation for adverse reactions to the study drug and/or procedures.
Seated blood pressure and pulse will be measured prior to each dose and approximately 2
hours post-dose. All adverse experiences, whether elicited by query, spontaneously reported,
or observed by clinic staff, will be documented in the subject's case report form.
