To evaluate the bio-equivalence of single dose of ibuprofen tablets 97.5mg with Acetaminophen and ibuprofen tablets 325mg + 97.5mg manufactured by Macleods Pharmaceuticals Ltd. in healthy adults under fasting condition.
The following PK parameters are the primary efficacy measurements:
Cmax : Maximum measured plasma concentration following each treatment.
AUCo_t : The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time zero to the last measurable concentration, as calculated by the linear trapezoidal method.
AUCo-inf: The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve, from zero to infinity
Timepoint [1] 307147 0
Blood samples were collected pre-dose and at 0.08,0.17,0.33,0.50,0.67,0.83,1.00,1.17,1.33, 1.50, 1.67, 1.83,2.00,2.25,2.50,2.75, 3.00, 3.33, 3.67,4.00,4.50, 5.00,6.00,8.00, 10.00 and 12.00 hours post dose.

Statistical methods / analysis
PK analysis:
Primary parameters: Cmax. AUC0-1 and AUCo_inf
Secondary parameters: T1I2. Ke, Tmax. npoints, Ke_first and Ke_last.
For estimation of PK parameters, concentrations that were below level of quantification (BLQ) were assigned a value of zero if they preceded quantifiable samples in the initial portion of the profile. A BlQ that occurred at the end of the profile will be set to zero. A BlQ or zero concentration that is embedded between two quantifiable points will be assigned a value of missing. If consecutive BlQs in the terminal portion of the profile are followed by quantifiable determinations, these quantified values were excluded from PK analysis by assigning them a value of missing. In the calculations of PK parameters, missing values were ignored. Plasma concentrations used to determine PK parameters were listed.
The log-transformed pharmacokinetic parameters (Cmax. AUCo_t and AUCo_inf,) of Ibuprofen were analysed using an ANOVA model. Calculated 90% confidence interval for the ratio of both the products averages (geometric means) of Cmax, AUCo_t and AUCo_oo ' Ratios of mean AUCO-t to mean AUCo_.inf for test and reference are expressed in percentage and power test is performed using SAS® version 9.2.
The calculations of the individual pharmacokinetic parameters were carried out as follows:
Cmax : Maximum measured plasma concentration following each treatment
AUCo_t : The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time zero to the last measurable concentration, as calculated by the linear trapezoidal method.
AUCo-inf: The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve, from zero to infinity. it was calculated as the sum of the AUC0-t plus the ratio of the last measurable concentration to the elimination rate constant.
T max : Time of maximum measured plasma concentration. If maximum value occurs at more than one point, T max is defined as the first point with this value in each period.
Kel : Apparent first order elimination or terminal rate constant calculated from semi log plot of the plasma concentration versus time curve. The parameters were calculated by linear least square regression analysis using at least the last three non-zero plasma oncentration.
T1/2 : Time required for the plasma drug concentration to decrease to one half.
npoints: No. of time points of the terminal log-linear phase used to estimate the terminal disposition rate constant (Ke) with bestfit regression method used.
Ke)irst : First time point of the terminal log-linear phase used to estimate the terminal disposition rate constant (Ke) with bestfit regression method used.
Ke_last: Last time point of the terminal log-linear phase used to estimate the terminal disposition rate constant (Ke) with bestfit regression method used.
Descriptive statistics (number of subjects, mean, SO, CV, minimum and maximum) was used to summarize the plasma concentrations at each time of measurement.
For purposes of descriptive summary, plasma concentrations below level of quantification (BLQ) were set to zero.
Linear and semi-logarithmic plots of the mean and individual plasma concentration-by scheduled sampling-time were provided.
The summary statistics for all pharmacokinetic parameters were reported for both the test and reference products. The reported parameters were the minimum, maximum, median, arithmetic means, standard deviation and the coefficient of variation for un-transformed data and relevant pharmacokinetic parameters were the arithmetic means and the standard deviation for the log-transformed data.
