Recruitment details

Participants (N = 24) who met all of the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria were recruited from a single site in the United States.

Pre-assignment details

Participants were screened for eligibility within 21 days before Day 1 of period 1. On Day -1 of each period, the participants were admitted to the clinical facility and confined for 4 days. All the 24 participants were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatment sequences (ADBC, BACD, CBDA, or DCAB). The washout between each dose was at least 7 days.

Metformin PK Parameter AUC(0-inf)

PK is the process by which a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated by the body. AUC (0-inf) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero extrapolated to infinite time.

Population: All treated participants not discontinuing prior to the end of the study. One participant in period 3 (treatment D) was excluded from the pharmacokinetic analysis due to a predose concentration greater than 5% of Cmax.

Safety: Adverse Events (AEs), Discontinuations Due to AEs, Deaths, and Serious AEs (SAEs).

AE=any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a subject administered an investigational product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. SAE=any untoward medical occurrence that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs inpatient hospitalization (including elective surgery), results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is an important medical event.

Time frame: AEs: from study drug administration Day 1/Period 1 till study discharge. SAEs: from date of written consent until 30 days after discontinuation of dosing or study participation. Duration of the study was approximately 45 days (including screening).

Population: All participants who received at least one dose of study medication.
