A Multiple-Dose PK Study to Evaluate the Comparative Bioavailability of PrimeC Tablets to Ciprofloxacin Tablets Co-administered With Celecoxib Capsules, in Healthy Adult Subject

An Open Label, Randomized, Multiple-Dose, Two-Treatment, Two-Period, Two-Sequence, Crossover Study to Evaluate the Comparative Bioavailability of PrimeC (Ciprofloxacin and Celecoxib) Tablets to Ciprofloxacin Tablets Co-administered With Celecoxib Capsules, in Healthy Adult Subject

This is an open-label, randomized, multiple-dose, two-treatment, two-period crossover study comparing the test and reference products. In each period of the study, either 2 × PrimeC tablets or reference products (ciprofloxacin co-administered celecoxib) will be administered to subjects every 12 hours for 6.5 days (13 total administrations), in fed conditions.

The subjects will receive the test treatment in one of the study periods and the reference treatment in the other study period according to a two-sequence randomization schedule. Blood samples will be collected before the morning dose on Day 1, before the morning and evening dose on Days 5 and 6, before the morning dose on Day 7 and at intervals over 48 hours after the morning dose on Day 7 (see Section 7.6) in each study period. Subjects will be confined at the clinical facility from at least 10.5 hours before the initial dose on Day 1 until approximately 48 hours after the final dose on Day 7.

12. Use of dietary products (e.g., grapefruit products of all types) known or suspected to induce or inhibit drug-metabolizing enzymes (especially inducers and inhibitors of CYP1A2 and CYP2C9) within 14 days before initial dosing.
13. Use of any prescription medications (other than hormonal contraceptives and those noted above), especially prescription medications implicated in TdP or cardiac arrhythmia, terfenadine, pimozide, ergotamine; dihydroergotamine or over-the-counter medications implicated in TdP or cardiac arrhythmia; medications that interfere with hemostasis (e.g., warfarin, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, selective serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors), other quinolones, digoxin, and NSAIDs or antibiotics (all dosage forms and routes of administration; other than the study drugs) within 14 days before initial dosing.
