Bioequivalence Study of Two Formulations of Perindopril 4 mg Tablet Under Fasting Condition - Full Text View

Purpose

The objective of this study was to find out whether the bioavailability of PT Dexa Medica's formulation of 4 mg perindopril tert-butylamine tablets was equivalent to that of the innovator's product (Prexum® 4 mg, Servier).

Primary Outcome Measures:

Area under concentration-time curve (AUC)of perindopril parent compound [ Time Frame: 192 hours ]
Relative bioavailability (primarily measured by AUCt and AUCinf) between two perindopril 4 mg tablet formulations (test and reference formulations) under fasting condition. The AUC was measured based on the plasma concentration of perindopril parent compound.
Area under concentration-time curve (AUC)of perindoprilat [ Time Frame: 192 hours ]
Relative bioavailability (primarily measured by AUCt and AUCinf) between two perindopril 4 mg tablet formulations (test and reference formulations) under fasting condition. The AUC was measured based on the plasma concentration of the active metabolite, perindoprilat.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Peak plasma concentration (Cmax)of perindopril parent compound [ Time Frame: 192 hours ]
Relative bioavailability (secondarily measured by Cmax) between two perindopril 4 mg tablet formulations (test and reference formulations) under fasting condition. The Cmax was measured based on the plasma concentration of perindopril parent compound.
Peak plasma concentration (Cmax)of perindoprilat [ Time Frame: 192 hours ]
Relative bioavailability (secondarily measured by Cmax) between two perindopril 4 mg tablet formulations (test and reference formulations) under fasting condition. The Cmax was measured based on the plasma concentration of the active metabolite, perindoprilat.
Time to achieve the peak plasma concentration (tmax)of perindopril parent compound [ Time Frame: 192 hours ]
Time to achieve the peak plasma concentration (tmax)of perindoprilat [ Time Frame: 192 hours ]
Elimination half-life (t1/2)of perindopril parent compound [ Time Frame: 192 hours ]
Elimination half-life (t1/2)of perindoprilat [ Time Frame: 192 hours ]

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Perindopril 4 mg tablets of PT Dexa Medica Group I (Test product): each tablet contains perindopril tert-butylamine salt 4 mg. A single dose of perindopril tablet of PT Dexa Medica was given to each of study subjects.	Drug: Perindopril 4 mg tablets of PT Dexa Medica Test product was given as a single dose, under the procedure as described in the Section: Detailed description of the study. Other Names: Test Product: Perindopril 4 mg tablets of PT Dexa Medica. Each tablet contains perindopril tert-butylamine salt 4 mg
Active Comparator: Perindopril 4 mg tablets of Servier Group II (Reference product) : each tablet contains perindopril tert-butylamine salt 4 mg. A single dose of perindopril (Prexum) tablets of Servier was given to each of study subjects.	Drug: Perindopril 4 mg tablets of Servier Reference product was given as a single dose, under the procedure as described in the Section: Detailed description of the study. Other Names: Reference product: Prexum® 4 mg, produced by Servier. Each tablet contains Perindopril tert-butylamine salt 4 mg.

Detailed Description:

The participating subjects were required to have an overnight fast and in the next morning were given orally one tablet of the test drug (Perindopril 4 mg tablets of PT Dexa Medica) or one tablet of the reference drug (Prexum® 4 mg, Servier).

Blood samples were drawn immediately before taking the drug (control), and at 20, 40 minutes, and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 96, 144, 192 hours after drug administration.

Three weeks after the first drug administration (washout period), the procedure was repeated using the alternate drug.

The pharmacokinetic parameters, including AUCt, AUCinf, Cmax, t max, and t1/2, were determined based on the concentrations of the perindopril parent compound and the metabolite perindoprilat, using high-performance liquid chromatography method with tandem mass spectrometry detector (LC-MS/MS).
