Scientific titleTwo-treatment, two-period, randomised, single-blind, cross-over bioequivalence of phenazopyridine HCl in 24 healthy volunteers
Study objectivesThe present study aims at comparing the pharmacokinetics of the original formulation of phenazopyridine and a same generic product. This is necessary to demonstrate bioequivalence to regulatory authorities.
Ethics approval(s)IEC/IRB of the City Medical Committee, Karachi, Pakistan. Date of approval: 02/07/2008 (ref: ERB/HC/002)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedLocal analgesic for the urinary tract
InterventionTo demonstrate the bioequivalence of a generic product containing phenazopyridine (one tablet x 100 mg) as test product Uropyrine® (Sterop Laboratories, Belgium) with the original formulation of phenazopyridine (one tablet x 100 mg) as reference product Pyridium® (Pfizer, USA). Both drugs will be administered orally in fasting state. All participants will be given each of the two drugs only once, in a cross-over design. The duration of washout period is 7 days.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Phenazopyridine HCl
Primary outcome measureTo determine the bioequivalence of both formulations of phenazopyridine, as determined by the following (monitored for 24 hours after administration of drug):
1. Measurement of the pharmacokinetic parameters
2. Maximum serum concentration (Cmax)
3. Time to maximum serum concentration (tmax)
4. Area under the curve (AUC)
Secondary outcome measuresSide effects of each of the two product regimens, monitored at 4, 10 and 24 hours. Follow up will be carried out after 7 days.
Overall study start date04/08/2008
Completion date04/11/2008

5. Not pregnant or nursing
6. Normal renal and hepatic function
Key exclusion criteria1. Evidence in the subject medical history or in the medical examination of any clinically significant hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, pulmonary, haematological or other significant acute or chronic abnormalities which might influence either the safety of the subject or the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of the active agent under investigation

7. Hepatic or renal impairment; elevated serum creatinine (>1.4 mg/dl)
8. Planned vaccination during the time course of the study
9. Adherence to a diet (e.g., vegetarian) or life style (including extreme sports) that might interfere with the investigation
10. Laboratory test results outside the tolerance values as laid down by the study centre, which may be an evidence of disease. Positive result of HIV1/2, Hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody or Hepatitis B (HBs) antigen testing
11. Regular use of any medication within four weeks prior to commencement of the study (self-medication or prescription)
12. Single use of any medication (including over-the-counter medication) that are not expressively permitted within two weeks prior to start of the study

15. Participation in a clinical investigation or blood donation of more than 250 ml within the past eight weeks or blood donation of less than 250 ml within the past 4 weeks
16. Subjects who are known or suspected:
16.1. not to comply with the study directives
16.2. not to be reliable or trustworthy
16.3. not to be capable of understanding and evaluating the information given to them as part of the formal information policy (informed consent),in particular regarding the risks and discomfort to which they would agree to be exposed
16.4. to be in such a precarious financial situation that they no longer weigh up the possible risks of their participation and the unpleasantness they may be involved in
