Overview
The goal of this clinical study is to obtain the bioavailability of the test patch of a generic formulation of Selegiline TDS 6mg/24 hours by Corium Innovations against the comparator (EMSAM), and the systemic and local safety and tolerability will be also observed and evaluated.
Description
This is a pilot, single-dose, single-centre, open-label, randomised, 2-way crossover study (2 treatments, 2 periods and 2 sequences) of a generic test formulation of Selegiline TDS 6 mg/24 hours with the comparator EMSAM® TDS 6 mg/24 hours, with at least 14 days washout period, recruiting around 12 healthy male and female subjects.
For each study period, subjects will be admitted and confined in the clinical study site the night before the study day from at least 10 hours before dosing and they will be discharged once all PK, safety and tolerability are completed at 36 hours after dosing. Subjects will be required to return for subsequent PK, safety and tolerability at 48-, 72- and 96-hours post-dosing. The clinic will follow up by telephone 7 ± 3 days after completion of the study.
Pharmacokinetic Blood Sampling:
PK blood samples will be collected before dosing and at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 24, 30, 36, 48, 72, 96 hours after dosing.
- Pharmacokinetics
PK parameters include AUC0-t, AUC0-∞, Cmax, tmax, t½, tlag (if applicable), λz, and Mean residence time (MRT) will be evaluated for Selegiline.
- Safety
Safety will be assessed on all subjects who participate in the study from the beginning to the end. Adverse events (AEs), abnormal vital signs, abnormal ECG results, abnormal physical examination findings and abnormal clinical laboratory test results will be reviewed on a subject-to-subject basis.
