Fasted Bioequivalence Study of 2 Olanzapine Film-coated Tablets, 5 mg, in Healthy, Adult Male and Female Subjects.

A Comparative, Open-label, Randomized, Two-period Bioequivalence Study of Olanzapine Film-coated Tablets 5 mg (JSC Farmak, Ukraine) vs Zyprexa® Coated Tablets 5 mg (Eli Lilly, Nederland B V) in Healthy Subjects Under Fasted Conditions.

This study was designed to assess the bioequivalence of Olanzapine tablets of two different manufacturers and to investigate the safety and tolerability of Olanzapine tablets of two different manufacturers.

A comparative, open-label, randomized, two-period, two-treatment, two-sequence, two-way crossover clinical trial to evaluate the bioequivalence of single doses of test product Olanzapine film-coated tablets 5 mg (JSC Farmak, Ukraine) and reference product Zyprexa® coated tablets 5 mg (Eli Lilly, Nederland B V) in healthy, adult male and female subjects under fasted conditions.

During each period 22 blood samples were taken in each Study Period: prior to dosing (-1.0) and 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 10.0, 12.0, 14.0, 16.0, 24.0, 48.0 and 72.0 hours after IMP administration.

5. Subjects in good health, as determined by screening medical history, physical examination, vital signs assessments (pulse rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and body temperature) and 12-lead ECG. Minor deviations outside the reference ranges were acceptable, if deemed not clinically significant by the Investigator.
6. All laboratory screening results within the normal range. Minor deviations outside the reference ranges were acceptable, if deemed not clinically significant by the Clinical Investigator.
7. Acceptance of use of contraceptive measures during the whole study by both female and male subjects ).

Exclusion Criteria:

3. History, presence or known risk of narrow-angle glaucoma.

4. Acute or chronic diseases and/or clinical finding which may interfere with the aims of the study or with the drug's safety, tolerability, bioavailability and/or pharmacokinetics of the IMP.

5. Previous liver disease or elevations in serum transaminases ALT or AST ≥ 1.0 ULN at the screening.

6. History of kidney disease and with impaired renal function.

7. Known hypersensitivity or idiosyncratic reaction to olanzapine or to any of its excipients or any drug or any substance.

9. Any history or presence of asthma (including aspirin-induced asthma) or nasal polyp or NSAII induced urticaria.

10. Presence of out-of-range cardiac interval on the ECG at screening or other clinically significant abnormalities, unless deemed non-significant by the Investigator.

11. Clinically significant illness within 28 days before the first dosing, including major surgery.

12. Any significant clinical abnormality, including a positive result of HBsAg and/or HCV and/or HIV test during screening procedure.

13. Positive result of blood pregnancy test at screening or positive urine pregnancy test at check-in or breast-feeding or lack of results of pregnancy test.

14. Positive results of drugs in urine at screening and at check-in.

15. Positive result of alcohol breath test at screening and at check-in.

16. Positive result of urine cotinine test at screening.

17. Serious mental disease and/or inability to cooperate with clinical team.

18. Sitting blood pressure after a minimum of 5 minutes of rest is out of the range of 90-140 mmHg for systolic BP and/or 60-90 mmHg for diastolic BP and/or heart rate out of the range of 50-100 bpm during the screening procedure.

19. Body ear temperature is out of the range of 35.7-37.6° C at screening and at check-in.

20. Orthostatic hypotension during the screening procedure.

21. Drug, alcohol (of ≥ 40 g per day pure ethanol), solvents or caffeine abuse.
