Summary

The purpose of this study was to compare the pharmacokinetic profiles at steady state of the test product, 300 mg trazodone hydrochloride (HCl) extended-release caplets (containing Contramid®), when administered once daily, and the reference product, 100 mg trazodone HCl immediate-release tablets (Apotex Corp.), when administered three times daily, for one week. For this purpose, the rate and extent of absorption of trazodone and formation of m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) after administration of multiple doses of up to 300 mg of each of the two formulations was compared.

Interventions

DRUG

Trazodone HCl

Dosage form: Extended-release caplets containing 300 mg trazodone HCl and extended-release caplets containing 150 mg trazodone HCl (the 150 mg dosage form was only used for the up and down titration, and was not evaluated in the study). Dose regimen: 75 mg trazodone HCl (½ x 150 mg extended-release caplet) on Days 1 and 11, 150 mg trazodone HCl (one extended-release caplet) on Days 2 and 10, 300 mg trazodone HCl (one extended-release caplet) on Days 3 to 9, each at 23:30 after a fast of at least 4 hours.

DRUG

Trazodone HCl

Dosage form: Immediate-release tablet containing 100 mg trazodone HCl Dose regimen: 100 mg trazodone HCl (one immediate-release tablet) once (at 23:30) on Days 1 and 11, 100 mg trazodone HCl (one immediate-release tablet) twice (at 23:30 and 11:30) on Days 2 and 10, 100 mg trazodone HCl (one immediate-release tablet) three times daily (at 23:30, 07:30 and 15:30) on Days 3 to 9. Evening doses were administered after a fast of at least 4 hours.
