An Open-label, Randomized, Crossover Study of Comparative Pharmacokinetics and Bioequivalence of Dapagliflozin + Metformin Modified Release Film-coated Tablets, 10 mg + 1000 mg (AstraZeneca AB, Sweden) Versus the Combined Use of Forxiga™ (Dapagliflozin), Film-coated Tablets, 10 mg (Bristol Myers Squibb Company, USA) and Two Glucophage® Long (Metformin), ER Tablets, 500 mg (Merck Santé S.A.S., France), Co-administered to Healthy Volunteers Under Standard Fed Conditions

The aim of this study is to demonstrate bioequivalence of fixed dose combination Dapagliflozin + Metformin modified -release, film-coated tablets, 10 mg + 1000 mg, (AstraZeneca AB, Sweden) versus Forxiga™ (Dapagliflozin), film-coated tablets, 10 mg (Bristol Myers Squibb Company, USA) and Glucophage® long (Metformin), ER tablets, 1000 mg (2 x 500 mg) (Merck Santé S.A.S., France) which are already registered in the Russian Federation.

Randomised open-label crossover comparative, single center, two periods, clinical study of investigational drug and reference drugs bioequivalence evaluation with a single administration of the study drug (1 modified - release film-coated tablets of Dapagliflozin + Metformin or 1 film-coated tablets of Forxiga™ + 2 tablets ER of Glucophage® long) under fed condition in healthy volunteers.
