bioequivalence study of synflutide hfa inhaler and seretide evohaler in healthy volunteers without charcoal block

Conditions: Asthma; Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Summary: the objective of this pivotal study is to evaluate the relative bioavailability of synflutide hfa 250/25 inhaler and seretidetm 250 evohalertm in healthy volunteers without charcoal block.

a pivotal, single-dose, randomized, open-label, two-period, two-sequence, two-treatment, crossover, comparative bioavailability study for test drug synflutide hfa 250/25 inhaler and reference drug seretidetm 250 evohalertm in healthy volunteers without charcoal block. fifty healthy, male and female volunteers, 20-65 years of age, with a body mass index (bmi) within 18.0-30.0 kg/m2, inclusive, will be enrolled. a single dose of 4 puffs (eq. to fluticasone propionate 1000μg+salmeterol 100μg from valve) in each study period. plasma samples will be assayed for fluticasone propionate and salmeterol using a validated analytical method according to the principles of good laboratory practice.
