Brief Summary

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

This study is designed to assess bioequivalence between one test and two reference formulations used for treatment of headaches and temporary relief of pain.

Detailed Description

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

The study is a single dose, randomized, three-way crossover study in 30 healthy subjects, with equal numbers of males and females (minimum of 13 of either gender). Drop-outs will not be replaced. The three doses of medication given in the study (a single dose in each of the three study periods) will each be separated by a washout period of at least 7 calendar days. In each study period, eighteen (18) blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis will be taken over 12 hours. Blood samples will be centrifuged and concentrations of ibuprofen (R-enantiomer and S-enantiomer) in plasma will be measured using a validated chromatographic assay. Pharmacokinetic parameters will be calculated from plasma concentration data \[R-enantiomer, S-enantiomer and total (sum of both enantiomers)\]. The rate and extent of absorption of the formulations will be compared.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Have no clinically significant diseases captured in the medical history or evidence of clinically significant findings on physical examination and/or clinical laboratory evaluations (hematology, biochemistry, ECG and urinalysis)
* Has signed and dated the informed consent document, indicating that the subject has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study
* Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other study procedures

Exclusion Criteria

* Seated pulse rate below 45 bpm or higher than 90 bpm at screening
* Seated blood pressure below 90/60 mmHg or higher than 140/90 mmHg at screening
* Relationship to persons involved directly with the conduct of the study (i.e., principal investigator; sub-investigators; study coordinators; other study personnel; employees or contractors of the sponsor or Johnson \& Johnson subsidiaries; and the families of each)
