A Randomized, Two-way Crossover Study to Compare the Bioavailability of 300 mg Trazodone Hydrochloride Extended-release Caplets (Containing Contramid®) (Administered Once Daily) and 100 mg Trazodone Hydrochloride Immediate-release Tablets (Administered Three Times Daily) at Steady State
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Trazodone HCl for Healthy Subjects and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 30 participants.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study was to compare the pharmacokinetic profiles at steady state of the test product, 300 mg trazodone hydrochloride (HCl) extended-release caplets (containing Contramid®), when administered once daily, and the reference product, 100 mg trazodone HCl immediate-release tablets (Apotex Corp.), when administered three times daily, for one week. For this purpose, the rate and extent of absorption of trazodone and formation of m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) after administration of multiple doses of up to 300 mg of each of the two formulations was compared.
