Study summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the bioequivalence (similarity of the drug amount in blood among the formulations) of the fixed dose combination (two components combined in one tablet) of canagliflozin and metformin extended release (XR) tablet (dose of 2 X 50 mg/1000 mg) with respect to the individual components of canagliflozin (1 x 100 mg) and metformin XR tablet (4 x 500 mg) in healthy fed participants.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized (the study medication is assigned by chance), open-label (physicians and participants know the identity of the assigned treatment), single-center, single-dose, 3-treatment, 3-way crossover (the same medications provided to all participants but in different sequence) study of Fixed Dose Combination (FDC) tablets of canagliflozin (CANA) and metformin extended release (MET XR) in comparison with tablets of individual components. Two Fixed Dose Combinations (FDCs) will be evaluated during the study (two types of tablets). The tablets will be of the same strength (50 mg CANA/1,000 mg MET XR) and will be compared with equal doses of the individual drugs: canagliflozin (1 x 100 mg tablet) and metformin XR (4 x 500 mg tablets). Thus, there will be 3 treatment periods in the study: Treatment A: "Reference" treatment of individual components. Treatment B: CANA/MET XR FDC, formulation 1; and Treatment C: CANA/MET XR FDC, formulation 2. Approximately 42 healthy adult participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatments groups, and then each group will receive all three treatments in different sequences (3-way crossover). The study will consist of 3 phases: a Screening Phase of approximately 3 weeks (Days -22 to -2), an Open-Label Treatment Phase consisting of 3 single-dose Treatment Periods of 5 days each (Days -1 through 4) separated by a washout of 10 to 14 days between Day 1 of each Treatment Period, and a Follow-up Phase occurring 7 to 10 days after the last study-related procedure on Day 4 of Treatment Period 3. The total duration of the study will be about 70 days for each participant.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Plasma concentration of canagliflozin following the single dose of drug administration

    Plasma concentrations of canagliflozin are used to evaluate how long canagliflozin stays in the body.

    Time frame: Day 1 to Day 2 (predose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24 hours postdose); Day 3 (48 hour); and Day 4

  2. Plasma concentration of metformin following the single dose of drug administration

    Plasma concentrations of metformin are used to evaluate how long it stays in the body.

    Time frame: Day 1 to Day 2 (predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 24, and 30 hours postdose); and Day 3 (36 hours)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of participants with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability

    Time frame: Up to Day 10 of the follow-up period
