Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 259465 0
Area Under the Curve (AUC) concentration of darifenacin/time (AUC0-t and AUC0-inf).
Darifenacin plasma concentration will be measured with Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectromtry method and concentration vs. time curves will be plotted.
AUC0-t will be calculated using the trapezoidal rule.
AUC0-inf will be calculated extrapolating the last concentration point to infinity using the log-linear elimination rate constant method.
Timepoint [1] 259465 0
0, 0:30, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72 hours.
Primary outcome [2] 259466 0
Peak concentration (Cmax)
Darifenacin plasma concentration will be measured with Liquid Chromatography- Mass Spectrometry Method and concentration vs. time curves will be plotted.
Cmax will be taken directly from the darifenacin plasma concentration vs. time curve.
Timepoint [2] 259466 0
0, 0:30, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72 hours.
Secondary outcome [1] 266035 0
Time to Cmax (tmax).
Is the time elapsed from ingestion of darifenacin tablets to plasma peak concentration.
Timepoint [1] 266035 0
0, 0:30, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72 hours.
Secondary outcome [2] 266036 0
Absorption Rate Constant(Ka)
The absorption rate constant is the fractional rate of drug disappearance from the intestinal tract, measured in the log-linear phase of drug absorption.
Timepoint [2] 266036 0
0, 0:30, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72 hours.
Secondary outcome [3] 266037 0
Elimination Rate Constant (Ke)
The elimiminaiton rate constant is the fractional rate of drug dissapearance from the peripheral compartment, measured in the log-linear phase of elimination.
Timepoint [3] 266037 0
0, 0:30, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72 hours.

Study design
Purpose of the study
Educational / counselling / training
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
University students and subjects from the general population will be invited to particpate in the study. After informed consent is signed, medical examination and labs screening ensues in order to prove the volunteer is healthy.
Once the volunteers passes clinical and laboratory check up, he is assigned to one tretment sequence.
Allocation will be concealed using numbered containers.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Computarized sequence generation.
Masking / blinding
Open (masking not used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?
