Study design 1 period

#TitleAllocationBlindingRoles blindedArms
1 Overall trial
Each period subjects will be administered one nilotinib 200 mg hard capsule, either from one of the Test products or Reference product (Tasigna® 200 mg hard capsule), depending on the treatment sequence assined. The investigational products will be administered in the morning, orally, with 240 mL of water, after an overnight fasting of at least 10 hours.

  4. Any medical condition (e.g., gastrointestinal, renal or hepatic, including peptic ulcer, inflammatory bowel disease or pancreatitis) or surgical condition (e.g., cholecystectomy, gastrectomy) that may affect drug pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion) or subject safety.

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. The following pharmacokinetic endpoints will be estimated: Cmax; tmax; AUC) from pre-dose (time zero) to the last sampling time with quantifiable concentrations (AUC0-t); AUC from time zero to infinity (AUC0-∞); residual area or percentage of extrapolated part of AUC0-∞ (%AUCextrap); λz; and t1/2.

Secondary endpoints 1

  1. Safety will be evaluated through the assessment of adverse events (AEs), ECG, vital signs, and clinical laboratory tests.
