Brief Summary

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

The study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics and relative bioavailability of two liquid metformin formulations (100 mg/mL and 250 mg/mL)

Detailed Description

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

The study will compare the pharmacokinetic profiles of two liquid metformin formulations (100 mg/mL and 250 mg/mL) with a standard metformin immediate-release tablet.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Single-Arm Crossover

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Liquid Metformin 100 mg/mL
