Comparative Bioavailability Between Two Tramadol Formulations: Study of the Better Controlled Release of a New 200 mg Once A Day (OAD) Formulation Versus Zytram® 200 mg

April 24, 2012 updated by: Labopharm Inc.

Comparative Bioavailability Between Two Tramadol Formulations: Study of the Better Controlled Release of a New 200 mg OAD Formulation Versus Zytram® 200 mg

The main purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetic profile to establish the better controlled liberation of the test product (Tramadol HCL OAD tablets of 200 mg, Labopharm) and its bioavailability in relation with the commercialised reference (Zytram® tablets of 200 mg, Zambon), single dose administered.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
AUC(0-t)
Time Frame: 48 hours

Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve to the last measured concentration.

h=hour
48 hours
AUC (0-∞)
Time Frame: 48 hours

The area under the plasma concentration curve was estimated by extrapolating to infinity AUC0-t. The extrapolation to infinity was done by regression with the last log-transformed data to estimate the terminal area by means of the line that maximized R'2 (coefficient of determination). The units are ng.h/mL.
