About

Bioequivalence study is proposed to be carried out on patients of breast cancer/ ovarian cancer, who are administrated for Doxorubicin Hydrochloride Liposomal Injection Lipodox® or Caelyx® in a dose of 50 mg/m2.

Full description

This study is a randomized, open-label, single-dose, two-preparation, two-sequence, two-cycle crossover bioequivalence study. This study will be conducted in female subjects aged 18 to 75 years diagnosed with breast cancer/ ovarian cancer. Each subject will be randomized to two treatment sequences (RT or TR) with equal numbers of patients according to a randomization scheme prepared to start of the trial. The cleaning period was 28-42 days. Serial blood samples for determination of free and liposomal encapsulated doxorubicin plasma concentration for PK analysis will be obtained in each cycle. Blood samples to be obtained at 0 h (within 60 min) before infusion, 15 min, 30 min, 45 min, 60 min, 75 min, 90min after the beginning of infusion, 15 min, 30 min, 1.0 h, 3.0 h, 5.0 h, 8.0 h, 16.0 h, 24.0 h, 36.0 h, 48.0 h, 96.0 h, 168.0 h, 240.0 h, 336.0 h after infusion completed.
