About

This is an open-label, randomized, multiple-dose, two-treatment, two-period crossover study comparing the test and reference products. In each period of the study, either 2 × PrimeC tablets or reference products (ciprofloxacin co-administered celecoxib) will be administered to subjects every 12 hours for 6.5 days (13 total administrations), in fed conditions.

The subjects will receive the test treatment in one of the study periods and the reference treatment in the other study period according to a two-sequence randomization schedule. Blood samples will be collected before the morning dose on Day 1, before the morning and evening dose on Days 5 and 6, before the morning dose on Day 7 and at intervals over 48 hours after the morning dose on Day 7 (see Section 7.6) in each study period. Subjects will be confined at the clinical facility from at least 10.5 hours before the initial dose on Day 1 until approximately 48 hours after the final dose on Day 7.

Enrollment: 19 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 55 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Exclusion criteria

1. Females who are pregnant, lactating or likely to become pregnant during the study.
2. History of allergy or hypersensitivity to ciprofloxacin or other fluoroquinolones, celecoxib or other NSAIDs, any component of the study products, or history of any drug hypersensitivity or intolerance which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would compromise the safety of the subject or the study.

4. QTc interval > 450 msec for males or > 470 msec for females or any clinically significant ECG abnormalities that, in the Investigator's opinion, would compromise the subject's safety for inclusion in the study. Significant history or current evidence of risk factors for Torsade de Pointes (TdP) (e.g., cardiac disease, heart failure, clinically significant hypokalemia or other electrolyte disorders, family history of Long QT Syndrome), as determined by the Investigator.
