Brief summary

The aim of this study is to demonstrate bioequivalence of fixed dose combination Dapagliflozin + Metformin modified -release, film-coated tablets, 10 mg + 1000 mg, (AstraZeneca AB, Sweden) versus Forxiga™ (Dapagliflozin), film-coated tablets, 10 mg (Bristol Myers Squibb Company, USA) and Glucophage® long (Metformin), ER tablets, 1000 mg (2 x 500 mg) (Merck Santé S.A.S., France) which are already registered in the Russian Federation.

Bioequivalence Consideration: 90% Confidence Intervals for the Test:Reference Geometric Least Squares Mean Ratios

The drugs are considered bioequivalent if the 90% confidence intervals for the Test : Reference products geometric least squares mean ratios of AUC, Cmax и Cmax/AUC parameters are in the range of 80% - 125%.

Time frame: Blood sampling 0 h, 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 10 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours after the dosing. Time interval for sampling is provided with pharmacokinetic characteristics of the product.

Population: The Arms/Groups are combined because the main study goal was to compare the bioequivalence of the study drug and the reference drug which were intaken by all volunteers regardless of the group.
