GXR RM China BE Study (Darmstadt - Jiangsu)

April 13, 2023 updated by: Merck Healthcare KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, an affiliate of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany

A Randomized, Open-label, 2-Way-Crossover Study Assessing the Bioequivalence Between Single Doses of 500 mg Glucophage® XR RM Tablets (Merck/China Jiangsu-Manufactured) and 500 mg Glucophage® XR RM Tablets (Merck/Germany Darmstadt-Manufactured) Under Fed and Fasted State in Healthy Participants

The purpose of this study is to assess Bioequivalence (BE), pharmacokinetics (PK), safety and tolerability following single oral dose administrations between a Glucophage Extended Release, Reduced Mass (Glucophage XR RM) manufactured in Merck Jiangsu China (test product) and that manufactured in Merck Darmstadt Germany (reference product) administered under fasted and fed conditions.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to the Last Sampling Time at Which the Concentration is at or Above the Lower Limit of Quantification (AUC0-t) of Metformin
Time Frame: Pre-dose up to 48 hours post-dose on Day 1 and Day 8
Pre-dose up to 48 hours post-dose on Day 1 and Day 8
Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Metformin

Pre-dose up to 48 hours post-dose on Day 1 and Day 8

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
