Single-dose, 2-way crossover, bioequivalence study of two rosuvastatin formulations in normal healthy subjects under fasting conditions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Rosuvastatin, a synthetic lipid-lowering agent acts selectively by competitive inhibition of 3-hydroxy- 3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A. It is indicated as an adjunct to diet in patients with hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate bioequivalence between a generic rosuvastatin 40 mg tablet (Zentiva, Prague, Czech Republic) and a reference product (Crestor, AstraZeneca, Luton, UK), under fasting conditions as required by the European Medicinal Agency. METHODS: A single-oral 40 mg-dose, randomized, open-label, 2-way crossover design study was conducted in 42 healthy volunteers under fasting conditions. Rosuvastatin was administered following an overnight-fast in two occasions with a 14-day washout period in-between. Blood samples were collected in EDTA-K2 tubes prior to dosing and over a 96-hour period. Rosuvastatin was measured in plasma using an automated LC-MS/MS assay (range 81.02 - 40,512.00 pg/ml). Pharmacokinetics were performed using non-compartmental analyses approach to evaluate AUC(last), AUC∞ and C(max). ANOVA was performed on the ln-transformed data and the 90% Confidence Interval (CI) was determined. Bioequivalence will be concluded if the 90% CI falls within 80.00 - 125.00% for AUC(last) and C(max). Safety and tolerability were also evaluated. RESULTS: 39 volunteers completed the study and were considered for the pharmacokinetic and statistical analyses. Descriptive safety data analyses were performed on all subjects. All pharmacokinetic parameters met the acceptance criteria as the 90% CI were within 80.00 - 125.00%. Both formulations were well tolerated and no serious adverse events were reported. CONCLUSION: This study showed that the test and reference products met the regulatory criteria for bioequivalence following a 40 mg oral dose under fasting conditions.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
