This will be a single-centre, multiple dose, open label, balanced, randomised, two-treatment, two-period, two-sequence, two-way crossover bioequivalence study. Duration of the study is approximately 7 weeks; up to 3 weeks for screening and 29 days for study procedures, (6 consecutive treatment days for two dose application periods, with a minimum 2-week (14 day) washout period between and 1 day for study exit procedures).

Interventions

Single-centre, multiple dose, open label, balanced, randomised, two-treatment, two-period, two-sequence, two-way crossover pivotal study with amitriptyline 5mg/g self applied to the vulva twice daily for 5 consecutive days and once on Day 6 separated by a washout period of 14 days in healthy women under steady state conditions.

The intervention for this trial is the test formulation of amitriptyline The study medication will be self-applied in private at the In-patient facility at approximately 8 am on Study Day 1 and at the Out-patient facility on Study Days 2-5 and at home at approximately 8 pm on Study Days 1-4 of both study periods. On the evening of Study Day 5 of each study period the participant is confined to our In-patient facility for a 1-night stay (about 25 hours on each occasion) for self-application of the study medication and Pharmacokinetic blood samples. Participants will be monitored for adverse events throughout the study. A diary will completed on a daily basis to record a Vulval Irritation Questionnaire and any adverse events experienced. Standard meals will be consumed at our In-Patient facility with no additional food intake allowed during confinement days. Pregnancy testing will be performed on Day 1 prior to dosing & alcohol breath testing, urine drugs of abuse will be performed upon each participant reporting to the In-patient facility on Day 5, 13 hours prior to dosing of each study period.. Pre and post study laboratory tests will be completed to assess the health of the participants along with drugs of abuse testing and pregnancy testing. Adherence to the study protocol will be done by weighing the gel before and after use.
