Brief summary
Single centre, randomised, open-label, two-way crossover study to investigate whether multiple-dose administration of eslicarbazepine acetate (ESL, BIA 2-093) affects the pharmacokinetics of gliclazide.
Interventions

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Cmax | before the gliclazide dose, and ½, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 h post-gliclazide dose | Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of Gliclazide following a single oral dose of 80 mg administered alone |
| Tmax | before the gliclazide dose, and ½, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 h post-gliclazide dose | Time to maximum observed concentration (Tmax) of Gliclazide following a single oral dose of 80 mg administered alone |
| AUC0-12 | before the gliclazide dose, and ½, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 h post-gliclazide dose | Area under the plasma concentration-time curve over 12 hours (AUC0-12) of Gliclazide following a single oral dose of 80 mg administered alone |
| AUC0-∞ | before the gliclazide dose, and ½, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 h post-gliclazide dose | Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero up to infinity with extrapolation of the terminal phase (AUC0-∞) of Gliclazide following a single oral dose of 80 mg administered alone |
