Detailed Description
-----------------
Single dose oral bioequivalence study of Vortioxetine Hemihydrobromide Orally Disintegrating Tablets 20 mg and 'Trintellix' (Vortioxetine) Tablets 20 mg in healthy adult human subjects under fasting conditions. To compare and evaluate the oral bioavailability of Vortioxetine Hemihydrobromide Orally Disintegrating Tablets 20 mg (administered without water and with water) with that of 'Trintellix' (Vortioxetine) Tablets 20 mg in healthy, adult, human subjects under fasting conditions.

Able to communicate effectively with study personnel. Willing to provide written informed consent to participate in the study. All volunteers must be judged by the principal or sub-investigator or physician as normal and healthy during a pre-study safety assessment performed within 28 days of the first dose of study medication which will include: A physical examination (clinical examination) with no clinically significant finding. Results within normal limits or clinically non-significant for the following tests: Additional tests and/or examinations (apart from mentioned in protocol) may be performed, if necessary, based on principal investigator discretion. All results will be assessed against the current laboratory normal ranges at the time of testing and a copy of the normal ranges used will be included in the study documentation. Exclusion Criteria: Volunteers must not be enrolled in the study if they meet any one of the following criteria: History of allergic responses to Vortioxetine or other related drugs, or any of its formulation ingredients. Have significant diseases or clinically significant abnormal findings during screening [medical history, physical examination (clinical examination), laboratory evaluations, ECG, chest X-ray recording, gynecological history and examination (including pelvic examination and routine breast examination) (for female volunteers)]. Any disease or condition like diabetes, psychosis or others, which might compromise the haemopoietic, gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, cardiovascular, respiratory, central nervous system or any other body system. History or presence of bronchial asthma. Use of any hormone replacement therapy within 3 months prior to the first dose of study medication. A depot injection or implant of any drug within 3 months prior to the first dose of study medication. Use of CYP enzyme inhibitors or inducers within 30 days prior to the first dose of study medication (see http://medicine.iupui.edu/clinpharm/ddis/main-table). History or evidence of drug dependence or of alcoholism or of moderate alcohol use. Smokers who smoke 10 or more cigarettes per day or 20 or more biddies per day or those who cannot refrain from smoking during the study period. History of difficulty with donating blood or difficulty in accessibility of veins. A positive hepatitis screen (includes subtypes B & C). A positive test result for HIV antibody and / or syphilis (RPR). Volunteers who have received a known investigational drug within seven elimination half-life of the administered drug prior to the first dose of study medication. Volunteers who have donated blood or loss of blood 50 ml to 100 ml within 30 days or 101 ml to 200 ml within 60 days or >200 ml within 90 days (excluding volume drawn at screening for this study) prior to first dose of study medication, whichever is greater. History of difficulty in swallowing or of any gastrointestinal disease, which could affect drug absorption. Intolerance to venipuncture Any food allergy, intolerance, restriction or special diet that, in the opinion of the principal investigator or sub-investigator, could contraindicate the volunteer's participation in this study. Institutionalized volunteers. Use of any prescribed medications (including Mono Amine Oxidase Inhibitors, serotonergic antidepressants, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), aspirin, or other drugs that affect coagulation) within 14 days prior to the first dose of study medication. Use of any OTC products, vitamin and herbal products, etc., within 7 days prior to the first dose of study medication.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Plasma samples will be tested. PK parameter Cmax will be reported. Ratios of PK parameters on SF001 ODT and Trintellix fall within 80.00% to 125.00% | PK parameters will be determined using a non-compartmental analysis. T/R ratio will be reported for Cmax. Ln-transformed Cmax should be within 80.00% to 125.00% with 90% confidence intervals as bioequivelence | In each period, total 28 blood samples will be collected at pre-dose (0.0 hour) and until 240 hours post dose | 
| Plasma samples will be tested. PK parameter AUCi will be reported. Ratios of PK parameters on SF001 ODT and Trintellix fall within 80.00% to 125.00% | PK parameters will be determined using a non-compartmental analysis. T/R ratio will be reported for AUCi. Ln-transformed AUCi should be within 80.00% to 125.00% with 90% confidence intervals as bioequivelence | In each period, total 28 blood samples will be collected at pre-dose (0.0 hour) and until 240 hours post dose |
