This study has been completed.
Sponsors and Collaborators: Novartis
Procter and Gamble
Information provided by: Novartis
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00413426
  Purpose

This purpose of this study is to compare the how the body changes the blood level of a single dose of darifenacin when given as 7.5 mg modified release tablet and the modified release liquid suspension (1.5 mg/ml) under fasted and fed conditions in healthy subjects.


Condition Intervention Phase
Healthy
Drug: Darifenacin (DAR328)
Phase I

Drug Information available for: Darifenacin Darifenacin hydrobromide
U.S. FDA Resources
Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Treatment, Randomized, Open Label, Placebo Control, Crossover Assignment, Bio-availability Study
Official Title: An Open-Labeled, Randomized, Single Dose, Three Period, 2-Sequence Crossover Study to Investigate the Pharmacokinetics of Darifenacin When Given as 7.5 mg Oral Doses of a Modified Release Suspension, as Compared to the Commercial Modified Release Tablet in Healthy Adult

Further study details as provided by Novartis:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Comparison of the PK of a single dose of 7.5 reference modified release tablet of darifenacin and the tested modified release liquid suspension (1.5 mg/ml) of darifenacin under fasted conditions in healthy subjects
  • Comparison of the PK of a single dose of darifenacin when given as an oral dose of a 7.5 mg modified release liquid suspension in the fed and fasted states

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Safety and tolerability
