Basic Science Study
Summary
Study start date: September 3, 2024
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.This study focuses on comparing two formulations of the drug Febuxostat, which is used to manage high uric acid levels often associated with gout. It involves healthy Thai volunteers who will help determine if a new version of the drug is absorbed into the body in the same way as an existing version called Feburic®. By doing this, researchers aim to ensure the new drug formulation is as effective and safe as the one already available, which could lead to more treatment options for patients. Participants in the study will take a single dose of either the new or the existing version of the drug after fasting overnight. The study uses a crossover design, meaning each participant will receive both versions of the drug at different times, with at least a week in between. Blood samples will be collected at various intervals up to 24 hours after taking the medication to measure how much of the drug is absorbed into the bloodstream. The study assesses the drug's absorption rate and extent, using advanced laboratory techniques to analyze the results. Safety is also closely monitored throughout the study to ensure participants' well-being.
