Plain English Summary
Background and study aims
Donepezil is a medication that is used to treat for the symptoms of mild to moderately severe Alzheimer's dementia. It can be given as an orodispersible (mouth-dissolving) tablet or film. The aim of this study is to compare the rate and extent of absorption of Donepezil given as an orodispersible film or tablet to healthy volunteers.
Who can participate?
Healthy volunteers (non-smokers) aged between 18 and 55
What does the study involve?
For safety reasons a pregnancy test, an alcohol breath test and a urine drug/smoking test are carried out before dosing. Participants are randomly allocated to take Donepezil as either an orodispersible film or tablet. A total of 18 blood samples are collected during the following 72 hours. Blood pressure and heart rate are also measured before and after dosing. One month later the participants switch to take the other form of Donepezil and the measurements are repeated.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
No benefits to the participants are expected. The risks are the same as those documented in the Donepezil product leaflet.

| Scientific title | Randomised, open-label, 2-way crossover bioequivalence study of donepezil 10mg orodispersible film versus donepezil 10mg orodispersible tablet in healthy subjects under fasting conditions |
| Study hypothesis | Compare the rate and extent of absorption of donepezil 10 mg orodispersible film (test) versus Aricept Evess orodispersible tablet (control), administered without water under fasting conditions. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Institutional Review Board/CTA approval ref: 9427-A2419-21C |
| Condition | Alzheimer's disease |
| Intervention | Donepezil Renantos 10 mg orodispersible film, only one administration per subject without water under fasting conditions. Blood collections will be during the 72 hours after administration. Aricept Evess 10 mg orodispersible tablets, only one administration per subject without water under fasting conditions. Blood collections will be during the 72 hours after administration. |

| Phase | Not Applicable |
| Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s) | Donepezil |
| Primary outcome measure | In each period, a total of 18 blood samples will be drawn from each subject for pharmacokinetic analyses. Blood samples will be collected prior to drug administration and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours post-dose (3 mL for each sampling time). Blood pressure and heart rate will also be measured prior to dosing and approximately 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours post-dose. Oral temperature will be measured at screening and at study exit. A urine drug screen (amphetamines, methamphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, tetrahydrocannabinol, cocaine, opiates, phencyclidine, MDMA, methadone) and a urine cotinine test will be performed at screening. A urine drug screen, a urine cotinine test, and an alcohol breath test will be performed before dosing of each period |
