[Translation] Clinical trial protocol for a single-dose, randomized, open-label, two-period, two-sequence, double-crossover, fasting bioequivalence study of febuxostat tablets in healthy Chinese subjects
非布司他片是一种抗痛风药,主要用于痛风患者高尿酸血症的长期治疗。
血清尿酸水平升高是高尿酸血症和痛风及其相关合并症发生、发展的根本原因。非布司他为2-芳基噻唑衍生物,是一种黄嘌呤氧化酶抑制剂,可通过抑制尿酸合成降低血清尿酸浓度,进而发挥药效。
血清尿酸水平长期达标可明显减少痛风发作频率,预防痛风石形成,防止骨破坏,降低患者死亡风险及改善患者生活质量,是预防痛风及其相关合并症的关键。
非布司他片是由TEIJIN PHARMA LIMITED开发,于2008年04月21日获得欧盟批准上市,目前上市规格为20mg、40mg、80mg和120mg,国内批准规格分别为20mg和40mg。
本研究以济南高华制药有限公司生产的非布司他片(规格:40mg)为受试制剂,原研TEIJIN PHARMA LIMITED持有的非布司他片(商品名:FEBURIC(菲布力);规格:40mg)为参比制剂,比较空腹状态下受试制剂与参比制剂在健康受试者体内的生物等效性。
[Translation] Febuxostat tablets are an anti-gout drug, mainly used for the long-term treatment of hyperuricemia in gout patients.
Elevated serum uric acid levels are the root cause of the occurrence and development of hyperuricemia, gout and their related complications. Febuxostat is a 2-arylthiazole derivative and a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, which can reduce serum uric acid concentration by inhibiting uric acid synthesis, thereby exerting its efficacy.
Long-term standard serum uric acid levels can significantly reduce the frequency of gout attacks, prevent tophi formation, prevent bone destruction, reduce the risk of death and improve the quality of life of patients, which is the key to preventing gout and its related complications.
Febuxostat tablets were developed by TEIJIN PHARMA LIMITED and were approved for marketing by the European Union on April 21, 2008. The current market specifications are 20mg, 40mg, 80mg and 120mg, and the domestic approved specifications are 20mg and 40mg respectively.
In this study, febuxostat tablets (specification: 40 mg) produced by Jinan Gaohua Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. were used as the test preparation, and febuxostat tablets (trade name: FEBURIC; specification: 40 mg) owned by the original developer TEIJIN PHARMA LIMITED were used as the reference preparation to compare the bioequivalence of the test preparation and the reference preparation in healthy subjects under fasting state.
