Note: Test and
Reference tablets will be dispersed one minute prior to dosing in 50 mL of
drinking water. Allow the tablets to disintegrate and stir gently and keep
ready solution for dosing.
Dietary Plan:
Following an overnight fast of at least 10 hours, subjects will start the
recommended high fat, high calorie, non-vegetarian breakfast (comprising of 800
to 1000 kilocalories), 30 minutes prior to administration of the
investigational product. Study subjects will eat this meal in 30 minutes or less. Fasting will
continue for four hours post-dose, then meals will be provided at 5.00, 9.00
and 13.00 hours post dose on dosing day (day 1) and 24.50, 28.00, 32.00 and
37.00 hours post dose on day 2 during both the periods
Study Restriction:
Drinking water will
be disallowed for one hour pre-dose and one hour post-dose. Subsequently,
drinking water will be provided ad libitum. Subjects will be dosed while in
upright sitting posture and will be instructed to remain seated or be
ambulatory (avoiding any strenuous activity) for first two hours following the
investigational product administration (except during recording of vitals and
blood collection time point).
Collection
Schedules:
Blood samples (1 ´ 5 mL) will be collected in 5 mL blood
collection tube containing K2EDTA as anticoagulant during each
period. The venous blood samples will be withdrawn pre-dose and at 0.50, 1.00,
1.33, 1.67, 2.00, 2.33, 2.67, 3.00, 3.50, 4.00, 4.50, 5.00, 6.00, 7.00, 8.00,
10.00, 14.00, 18.00, 24.00, 36.00, 48.00 and 72.00 hours post-dose (Time points being relative to the investigational
product dosing).
During each ambulatory visit blood sample will be collected -1.00 hour to
+ 2.00 hours of the scheduled time.
During check out of period I, 6 mL blood will be collected in plain tubes
for liver
function test (SGPT, SGOT and GGT).
Blood
Loss:
For each subject,
the total number of blood draws will be 46 (23 per period). The total volume of blood withdrawn will not exceed 272 mL (including 13 mL for safety assessment, 6 mL blood for
liver function test (SGPT, SGOT and GGT) and 23 mL discarded normal
saline blood).
Handling of Blood Samples:
The blood samples
collected at each time point will be centrifuged between 4±2 ºC (short term
excursion permitted up to 10°C) and at 4000 rpm for 10 minutes to separate
plasma. [For ambulatory samples, the samples collected till the scheduled time
of last subject will be centrifuged together and the samples collected later
will be centrifuged separately according to their collection time]. Blood
samples will be centrifuged within 30 minutes after collection of last blood
sample. The separated plasma will be transferred in prelabelled polypropylene
tubes during each period. These tubes will
be labelled with study number, period number, subject number, sample number,
time point (hrs) and aliquot number.
These tubes will
then be transferred to a deep freezer for storage.

·
During check out
of period I at 48.00 hours liver function test (SGPT, SGOT and GGT) will be
carried out. If any clinically significant liver chemistry elevations are
observed, subject will be withdrawn from study.
·
For post study
safety assessment
o
In the event of a
suspected drug induced liver injury, or other clinically significant liver
chemistry elevations, dolutegravir should be stopped and subjects should not
be rechallenged with a dolutegravir-containing product due to the risk of a
recurrent reaction.
§
Provision shall
be made in the volunteer database to avoid such subjects to get enrolled in
dolutegravir-containing product.
|
Safety Assessment:
In each period,
subject questionnaire and vital signs (Blood Pressure, Temperature and Pulse
Rate) will be done at the time of check-in, pre-dose and at 3.00, 6.00, 10.00, 26.00, 35.00, 48.00 and 72.00 hours post-dose (Time
points being relative to the investigational product dosing).
Note: subject will be kept in supine position for at least 5 minutes
before start of Blood Pressure recording on each time point.
During check out of
period I at 48.00 hours liver function test (SGPT, SGOT and GGT) will be
carried out. If any clinically significant liver chemistry elevations are
observed, subject will be withdrawn from study.
If any adverse
events are observed by either clinical staff or reported by subjects at times
other than scheduled times will be recorded.
In each period, the
breath of the subject will be checked to see whether they have consumed alcohol
or not at the time of check-in and during each ambulatory visit of the study
using breath alcohol analyzer. (Note: If subjects found breath alcohol test
positive during ambulatory visit, further blood sample will not be taken for
the respective period but subject questionnaire and vital signs will be taken).
Medical examination,
ECG and clinical laboratory tests will be performed to cater to the post-study
safety assessments after the last ambulatory blood sample collection of period
II.
Medical examination
will be carried out during check-in, check-out and at 72.00 hrs ambulatory
visit of each period of the study and whenever attending medical officer thinks
necessary.
Urine test for
drugs of abuse will be carried out at the time of check-in of both the study
periods.
Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies:
Risk evaluated:
The study
Investigational product can bring out various adverse effects.
Mitigation
strategies:
·
Ambulance will be made available before start of study.
·
All medical staff including nurses and doctors will be
informed to be available at clinical site.
·
ICU will be checked for availability of all emergency
medicines and other devices will be checked for proper functioning
·
Toxicity Management
In the event of a discontinuation of dolutegravir for
suspected drug induced liver injury, other clinically significant liver
chemistry elevations, severe skin reaction or hypersensitivity reaction,
subjects should not be rechallenged with a dolutegravir-containing product due
to the risk of a recurrent reaction. These subjects should be withdrawn from
study. Further details on this are provided in Appendix III.
Clinical Residency:
Subject will be
admitted and housed in the facility sufficient time before to maintain 10 hours
fasting condition before the administration of dose and until 48 hours
post-dose, during each period of the study. The subjects will visit the centre for
ambulatory blood sample collection at 72.00 hours post dose.
Bioanalytical
Method:
Dolutegravir will be estimated in plasma using validated LC-MS/MS method.
Pharmacokinetic Parameters:
1) Primary parameters :
Cmax, AUC0-t and
AUC0-Â¥.
2) Secondary parameters :
T1/2, Kel, Tmax,
npoints, Ke_first and Ke_last.
All the above parameters will be
calculated using SAS®.
Statistical Analysis:
Summary statistics, ANOVA, intra-subject variability
and 90% confidence interval will be calculated using SAS®. Linear
& semi log graphs will be plot using SAS®.
Criteria
for Bioequivalence:
The 90% confidence interval
for Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-Â¥.of Dolutegravir will form the basis for
concluding the bioequivalence of Dolutegravir sodium in product R and T. If the 90%
confidence intervals are entirely included in the range of 80.00 – 125.00% for Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-¥.of Dolutegravir log-transformed
then the treatments will be claimed to be bioequivalent.
