Pharmacokinetics of Two Formulation of Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate

A Randomized, Single-Dose, Parallel-Group Study to Evaluate thePharmacokinetic Profiles of Two Formulations of Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate After Oral Administration in Healthy Volunteers Under Fasting Conditions

To evaluate pharmacokinetic profiles of Viproof Film Coated Tablets 300 mg manufactured by Yung Shin Parm. Ind. Co., Ltd., Taiwan and Viread Tablets manufactured by Patheon, Inc. in terms of plasma concentrations of tenofovir after a single oral dose of 300 mg tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in healthy subjects under fasting conditions.

Inclusion Criteria:

   • Ideal body weight (kg) = [height (cm) - 80] *0.7 for male subjects
   • Ideal body weight (kg) = [height (cm) - 80] *0.6 for female subjects

3. Acceptable medical history and physical examination including:

   • no particular clinically significant abnormalities in electrocardiogram results within six months prior to dosing.
   • no particular clinical significance in general disease history within two months prior to dosing.

4. Acceptable biochemistry determinations (within normal limits or considered by the investigator or physician to be of no clinical significance) within two months prior to study drug dosing, which includes Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (SGOT, same as AST), Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase (SGPT, same as ALT), Gamma-Glutamyl-Transpeptidase (γ-GT), alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, albumin, glucose, Blood Urea Nitrogen(BUN), uric acid, creatinine, total cholesterol and triglyceride (TG).

5. Acceptable hematology (within normal limits or considered by the investigator or physician to be of no clinical significance) within two months prior to study drug dosing, which includes hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell count, white blood cell count with differentials and platelets.

6. Acceptable urinalysis (within normal limits or considered by the investigator or physician to be of no clinical significance) within two months prior to study drug dosing, which includes power of hydrogen (pH), blood, glucose, ketones, bilirubin and protein.

7. Females of childbearing potential practicing an acceptable method of birth control for the duration of the study.

8. Have signed the written informed consent to participate in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. A clinically significant disorder involving the cardiovascular, respiratory, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, immunologic, hematologic, endocrine or neurologic system(s) or psychiatric disease (as determined by the investigator).
2. A clinically significant illness or surgery within four weeks prior to dosing (as determined by the investigator).
3. History of gastrointestinal obstruction, inflammatory bowel disease, gallbladder disease, pancreas disorder over last two years or history of gastrointestinal tract surgery over last five years.
4. History of kidney disease or urination problem over last two years deemed by the investigator to be clinically significant.
5. Known or suspected history of drug abuse within lifetime.
6. History of alcohol addiction or abuse within last five years as judged by the investigator.
7. History of allergic response(s) to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate or any other related drugs.
