Health condition
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied:
Pilot pharmacokinetic study conducted in healthy volunteers comparing two formulations of atorvastatin (oral spray and capsule) with no health condition or problem studied.

Although this study is being conducted in healthy volunteers who are not being treated for the condition to which the medicine is used, atorvastatin is used as an adjunct to diet for the treatment of patients with hypercholesterolaemia. 306392 0

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Single dose, two sequence, crossover study design whereby each participant receives the test formulation of atorvastatin oral spray (1 x 8 mg) on one occasion and the innovator formulation of atorvastatin oral capsule (1 x 20 mg) on one occasion with each dose seperated by a one week washout period. The intervention for this trial is the test formulation of atorvastatin.

No water is allowed for 1 hour prior to dosing until 1 hour after dosing (except for the water consumed with the dose).

Participants are required not to eat for 10 hours prior to dosing. Subjects are required to fast for approximately 4 hours after receiving each dose. Bathroom visits will be supervised to ensure no unauthorised water or food intake and for personal safety. Participants will be confined at the Clinical Site for 10 hours prior to dosing to ensure compliance and will be monitored for adverse events for 24 hours after dosing.

Standard meals will be consumed at the Clinical Site with no additional food intake allowed. Alcohol breath testing will be performed upon each participant reporting to the Clinical Site 10 hours prior to dosing.

Pre and post study laboratory tests will be completed to assess the health of participants along with HIV, Hepatitis and drugs of abuse testing.

Each dose will be taken orally with 240 ml of water at ambient temperature. A mouth check will be conducted to ensure the medication has been taken as directed.

Comparator / control treatment
Single dose, crossover pilot study design whereby each participant receives the test formulation of atorvastatin oral spray (1 x 8 mg) on one occasion and the innovator formulation of atorvastatin capsule (1 x 20 mg) on one occasion with each dose seperated by a one week washout period. The comparator/control for this trial is the innovator formulation of atorvastatin.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 304618 0
To compare the relative bioavailability of atorvastatin (as summarised by Cmax and AUC) for the formulation. All plasma samples will be assayed for atorvastatin using one fully validated LC/MS/MS method. Validation will be conducted to comply with EU and FDA guidelines.
Timepoint [1] 304618 0
0, 2 min, 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 45 min and at 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 20, 24, 32, 48 and 56 hours post dosing
Secondary outcome [1] 342559 0
Time to maximum peak concentration (Tmax) will be determined by plasma sample analysis. Tmax will be the time where the maximum concentration occurred in the sample points.

Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
All formulations will be labelled as Formulation A and B. The identification of each treatment will only be known to the Managing Director and the Section Head - Trials and Regulatory Affairs.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Each participant will be identified by a 3 digit screening number and a 2 digit subject number. The screening number will be issued once the participant has given written consent to participate in the study and the two digit subject number (randomisation number) after acceptance into the study. Sequence generation will be by using a simple randomisation using a randomisation table created by computer software (i.e. computerised sequence generation).
