Comparative, Randomized, Single Dose, Two-way Crossover Bioequivalence Study to determine the bioequivalence of Modafinil From Bravamax 200 mg Scored Tablets (Chemipharm Pharmaceutical Industries, Egypt) Versus Vigil 200 mg Tablets (Teva GmbH, Germany)

Healthy volunteers, 18-55 years of age, selected from the Egyptian population fulfilling the selection criteria. 24 healthy subjects will participate in the study.

ANOVA using 5% significance level for log transformed (with the 90% confidence intervals) and untransformed data of Cmax,, AUC0→t and AUC0→∞and for untransformed data of Ke, tmax and t1/2e.

The confidence intervals of logarithmically transformed Test/Reference ratios for AUC0→t, AUC0→∞and Cmax to be within 80.00-125.00%.

A comprehensive final report will be issued upon the completion of the study.
