Bioequivalence of Single Dose Fast Release Aspirin (1000 mg) Tablet Versus Single Dose of Two 500 mg Fast Release Aspirin Tablets

An Open Label, Randomized, Two-Way Crossover Trial to Assess the Bioequivalence of a Single Oral Dose of a 1000 mg Fast Release Aspirin Tablet Versus Two 500 mg Fast Release Aspirin Tablets in Healthy Male and Female Subjects

The primary objective of this study is to compare the bioavailability of a single dose of a new 1000 mg fast release ASA (acetylsalicylic acid) tablet with that of two tablets of a commercially available 500 mg fast release tablet and to test for bioequivalence of the new versus the commercial product in healthy adult subjects.
