Bioequivalence Study of Metformin Component of Canagliflozin and Metformin Fixed Dose Combination Immediate Release (IR) Tablet Comparing With Metformin IR Tablet Co-administered With Canagliflozin Tablet in Healthy Fed and Fasted Participants

A Single-Dose, Open-Label, Randomized, 4-Way Crossover Pivotal Study to Assess the Bioequivalence of the Metformin Component of the Fixed Dose Combination Tablet of Canagliflozin and Metformin Immediate Release (IR) 1 x (50 mg/500 mg) With Respect to the Metformin IR Tablet (Locally Sourced From Canada [Glucophage, 1 x 500 mg]) Coadministered With Canagliflozin (1 x 50 mg) in Healthy Fed and Fasted Subjects

Brief summary

The purpose of this study to evaluate the bioequivalence (is the amount same in both the pills) of metformin component of the canagliflozin and metformin immediate release (IR) fixed dose combination (FDC) tablet compared with the metformin IR tablet co-administered with canagliflozin tablet in healthy fed and fasted participants.

Detailed description

This is a randomized (study medication assigned to participants by chance), open-label (identity of study drug will be known to volunteer and study staff), single-center, single-dose, 4-treatment, 4-way crossover (method used to switch participants from one study group to another in a clinical trial, like the flip of a coin) study in healthy adult participants. The study will have 3 phases: Screening Phase (approximately 3 weeks, Day -22 to Day -2), Open-Label Treatment Phase (consisting of 4 single-dose treatment periods of 3 days each \[Day -1 to Day 2\], each separated by a washout period of 7 days) and Follow-up Phase (5 to 7 days after last study-related procedure on Day 2 of treatment period 4). All eligible participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatment sequences and will receive 2 treatments under fasting and 2 treatments under fed conditions. Blood samples will be collected at pre-dose and post-dose of study treatment, for understanding the pharmacokinetics (how the drug is absorbed in the body, distributed within the body, and how it is removed from the body over time). Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Interventions

DRUGCanagliflozin + Metformin Immediate Release (IR) Fixed Dose Combination (FDC)

DRUGCanagliflozin

Canagliflozin tablet 50 mg orally under fed or fasted conditions on Day 1 of any of the 4 treatment periods.

Metformin IR tablet 500 mg orally under fed or fasted conditions on Day 1 of any of the 4 treatment periods.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Plasma Concentration of MetforminPre-dose up to 24 hours post-dosePlasma concentrations of metformin are used to evaluate how much metformin is in the blood over time.
Plasma Concentration of Canagliflozin2 hours after dosingPlasma concentrations of canagliflozin are used to evaluate how much canagliflozin is in the blood, 2 hours after dosing.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Adverse EventsUp to approximately 58 daysThe number and type of adverse events will be reported from Day 1 of treatment period 1 through 5-7 days after treatment period 4 including a 7+/- 1 day washout period between treatment periods (total time is approximately 58 days).
Clinical Laboratory TestsUp to approximately 58 daysClinically relevant changes occurring in laboratory safety parameters will be evaluated.
Vital SignsUp to approximately 58 daysBlood pressure, pulse, and oral body temperature will be evaluated.
