Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The present study was designed to assess the bioequivalence and pharmacokinetic profiling of a brand generic formulation of darifenacin \[Darisec(R)\]vs. the innovator \[Enablex(R)\]in healthy volunteers after a high fat breakfast.

The bioequivalence will be evaluated using:

* the Area Under the Curve (AUC) and,
* the peak plasma concentration (Cmax).

Safety will be evaluated recording:

* vital signs
* adverse events,
* laboratory analysis.
* EKG and chest XRays.

Bioequivalence will be claimed if the drugs comply with local regulatory requirement, eg.:

* mean AUCt/AUCr and 90% confidence interval within 0.80-1.25
* mean Cmaxt/Cmaxr and 90% confidence interval within 0.80-1.25.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Darifenacin is a muscarinic receptor antagonist drug used to treat overactive bladder. There is a new formulation of darifenacin extended release developed by an argentinian pharmaceutical company and, according to regional regulations, a bioequivalence study should be performed to put it in the market.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relative bioavailability and pharmacokinetic profiling of a brand generic formulation of darifenacin \[Darisec(R) 15 mg\] vs. the innovator \[Enablex(R) 15 mg\] in 24 healthy uruguayan volunteers after a high fat breakfast of 1000 calories (50% fat, 35% carbohydrates (sugar, flour, etc.) and 15\& proteins) to establish their average bioequivalence.

The bioequivalence will be evaluated using outcome measures that will be described later.

The pharmacokinetic characteristics of the drugs will be described calculating:

* the time to Cmax (Tmax)
* the elimination constant (Ke),
* the elimination half-life (t1/2e)and,
* the systemic clearance (Cls.

Safety will be evaluated recording:

* vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature)
* adverse events,
* laboratory analysis (hemogram, hepatic enzymes, creatinine, sugar in blood,etc.).
* EKG and chest XRays.

Bioequivalence will be claimed if the drugs comply with local and FDA regulatory requirement, eg.:

* mean AUCt/AUCr and 90% confidence interval within 0.80-1.25
* mean Cmaxt/Cmaxr and 90% confidence interval within 0.80-1.25.

Safety will be evaluated comparing incidences of adverse events/adverse effects for both products.
