Participant Flow

30 healthy volunteers were randomized, receiving a single dose of Test and Reference treatment. Based on the cross-over design, a single dose of product was given orally in one of the two possible sequences: in the "test-reference" arm, subjects received Ketoprofen lysine salt (KLS) firstly and then the reference product OKI. In the "Reference-Test" arm, subjects received reference product OKi first, then Ketoprofen lysine salt (KLS)"). A wash-out interval separated the 2 treatment periods.

Measure
Sequence "Test - Reference"
Participants first received a single dose of Ketoprofen lysine salt (KLS, Test product)), 40 mg immediate release tablets (corresponding to 25 mg ketoprofen) under fasting conditions (day 1). After a washout interval of at least 4 days, the participants then received a single dose of the reference product OKi®, KLS 40 mg granules for oral solution, always under fasting conditions (day 1). This according to the study randomised cross-over design. There were no premature discontinuations during the study

AUC0-t = Area under the concentration-time curve from administration to the last observed concentration time t, calculated with the linear trapezoidal method. AUC0-t of ketoprofen was calculated from plasma concentrations after single oral dose of test and reference products. Plasma concentrations of ketoprofen were measured in each study period at the timepoints hereunder specified. Please note that AUC0-t was considered a reliable estimate of the extent of absorption if the ratio AUC0-t/AUC0-∞ equalled or exceeded a factor of 0.8, i.e. if %AUCextra was \< 20%.
