Participant Flow

Non-obese, non-smoking, healthy adult volunteers consisting of members of the community-at-large were enrolled.

88 subjects were screened and 51 were screen failures. Enrollment of 40 subjects was planned, however, the enrollment of 37 subjects was judged to be sufficient to meet the criterion of 36 necessary to complete the study.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: serial pharmacokinetic plasma concentrations were drawn prior to dose administration (0 hour) and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours after drug administration.

Population: Pharmacokinetic analyses of fenofibric acid are based on 34 subjects who completed the study. One subject discontinued due to an adverse event and two subjects discontinued for personal reasons.

The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time 0 to infinity. AUC(0-∞) was calculated as the sum of AUC(0-t) plus the ratio of the last measurable plasma concentration to the elimination rate constant.
