Bioequivalence of Empagliflozin/Metformin (500 mg) Fixed Dose Combination Tablets Compared to Single Tablets Administered Together in Healthy Male and Female Volunteers Under Fed Conditions (an Open-label, Randomised, Single-dose, Four-way Crossover Study)
Abstract
The primary objective of this trial is to establish bioequivalence of two fixed dose combination (FDC) tablets (containing medium dose empagliflozin/500 mg metformin \[Test 1\] and low dose empagliflozin/500 mg metformin \[Test 2\]) and of the single tablets (medium dose empagliflozin tablets + Glucophage® 500 mg tablet \[Reference 1\] and low dose empagliflozin tablet + Glucophage® 500 mg tablet \[Reference 2\]) when administered together after a high fat, high caloric meal.
The assessment of safety and tolerability will be an additional objective of this trial.
Conditions: Healthy.
Primary outcome: AUC0-∞ for Empagliflozin; AUC0-∞ for Metformin; Cmax for Empagliflozin; Cmax for Metformin.
Enrollment: 24 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 24 participants or records.
