Open-label, Randomized, Crossover, Two-period, Two-sequence Bioequivalence Study of Sotalol, Tablets, 160 mg (Pharmtechnology LLC, Belarus), and Sotalex®, Tablets, 160 mg (BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB GmbH & Co. KGaA, Germany), in Healthy Volunteers Under Fasting Condition

This is an open-label, randomized, single-center, single-dose, two-treatment, two-sequence, two-period, crossover, comparative study, where each subject was randomly assigned to the reference or the test formulation in each period of the study (sequences RT or TR), in order to evaluate if both formulations are bioequivalent.The study was conducted in multiple groups.

Detailed Description

The objective of this study is to establish if two formulations of sotalol are bioequivalent. The test formulation is Sotalol Tablets, 160 mg (Pharmtechnology LLC, Belarus). The reference formulation is Sotalex®, Tablets, 160 mg (Bristol-Myers Squibb GmbH & Co. KGaA, Germany). 36 healthy adult volunteers of both genders with age ranging from 18 to 55 years old will receive a single tablet (160 mg of sotalol) of the test and the reference products with 200 ml of water after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours, according to the pre-defined randomization list. In the first period, 18 subjects will receive the test product and 18 subjects the reference product.In the second period subjects will receive the products in the opposite order. Subjects will fast 4 hours after administration of the study drugs during each study period. Standardized meals will be provided in each study period. Water will not be accessible to the subjects 1 hour prior to administration of the study drugs and 2 hours after administration of the study drugs in each period. In each period blood samples were collected before dosing and 0,5 ; 1; 1,5; 2 ; 2,5; 3; 3,5; 4; 4,5; 5; 6; 8; 10; 12; 16; 24; 36; 48; 72 hours after dosing (total number: 19). The washout period will be 14 days. A validated HPLC/MS/MS method will be used to determine plasma concentrations of analyte (sotalol). ANOVA will be performed on log transformed pharmacokinetic parameters Cmax, AUC0-t and 90% confidence interval will be constructed for the ratio of geometric least square means of the test and the reference products, obtained from the log-transformed data. Bioequivalence will be concluded if the ratio estimate as well as its 90% confidence interval for the analyte, both falls within the acceptable range of 80.00% to 125.00% for Cmax and AUC0-t.
