Study summary

This study compared a test azilsartan medoxomil potassium tablet (80 mg) with the reference product, Edarbi® (80 mg), in healthy adults. The study included a fasting part and a part in which participants took the study medication after a meal. In each part, participants were randomly assigned to receive both products, one at a time, in a different order. There was a 5-day washout period between doses. Blood samples were collected before and at scheduled times up to 48 hours after each dose to measure azilsartan levels. The researchers assessed whether the two products produced similar drug levels in the blood and monitored safety. The study was designed to evaluate bioequivalence, not to treat hypertension.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of azilsartan

    Time frame: From predose through 48 hours after each dose

  2. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to the last quantifiable concentration (AUC0-t) of azilsartan

    Time frame: From predose through 48 hours after each dose

  3. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-inf) of azilsartan

    Time frame: From predose through 48 hours after each dose; AUC0-inf is calculated by extrapolation
