Minocycline Bioequivalence Study

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study compared the bioavailability of two formulations 100 mg (one capsule or other respectively) of each one of the products, of Minocycline, under fasting conditions, in healthy Mexican volunteers of both sexes. The single dose study under fasting (10 hours prior to study) conditions, cross, with two treatments, two periods, two sequences (2x2) randomized sequence, balanced, and with a washout period of at least 7 days between each dose, in 24 healthy volunteers.

Subjects signed informed consent, having informed the potential risks and benefits of participation, and their willingness and availability to participate in the full study, may leave the study at the time they so choose. Female participants must not be pregnant or breast-feeding, plus those who are sexually active should have a method of birth control to prevent pregnancy during the investigation considered the following secure methods (Male condom combined with a vaginal spermicide (Foam, gel, film, cream, or suppository, combined with a male condom female diaphragm, either with or without a vaginal spermicide, intrauterine device and also provide you with a list of other contraceptive methods in order that you do not become pregnant during the investigation). Prior to joining the first period sign a commitment letter no pregnancy.

Subjects who had taken potentially toxic drugs within 30 days before the start of the study. Subjects who have taken any drug within 14 days or 7 half-lives before the start of the study. Subjects who were hospitalized for any reason or were seriously ill within 60 days before the study. Subjects who have received an investigational drug within 60 days before the start of the study. Subjects who have donated or lost 450 mL or more of blood within 45 days prior to baseline. Subjects with a recent history of drug abuse, including alcohol. Female subjects with a positive pregnancy test in urine. Subjects who consumed food or beverages that interact pharmacologically with the study drug (particularly those that are known sources of xanthines: caffeine, cola drinks, theobromine, and theophylline in the 10 hours before the test. Subjects with grapefruit juice consumption in the 10 hours before the test. Subjects with inability to understand or unwilling to sign the consent form. Subjects who are discharged from the database by COFEPRIS are participating in another study of bioequivalence.

| --- | --- | --- |
| Bioavailability as assessed by composite of PK parameters. | The following pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters will assessed maximum observed concentration (Cmax), Area under the concentration time curve from time zero (pre-dose) to last common time of quantifiable concentration within a subject across all treatments (AUC0-t) and Area under the concentration time curve from time zero (pre-dose) extrapolated to infinite time (AUC0-inf). | The samples were collected for each period to 0.0, 0.33, 0.66, 1.0, 1.33, 1.66, 2.0, 2.33, 2.66, 3.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 12.0, 16.0, 24.0, 36.0, 48.0 and 72.0 hours after administration |
