Sulindac Capsules Compared With Sulindac Tablets in Healthy Volunteers

Basic Trial Information

Objectives

Primary

1. Compare the systemic exposure of sulindac tablets vs sulindac capsules in healthy volunteers.

Secondary

1. Compare the terminal half-life and time of peak drug concentration of sulindac tablets vs sulindac capsules.

Expected Enrollment

A total of 28 participants will be accrued for this study.

Outline

This is a randomized study. Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

• Arm I: Participants receive one sulindac capsule followed 7-10 days later by one sulindac tablet.
• Arm II: Participants receive one sulindac tablet followed 7-10 days later by one sulindac capsule.

Blood is collected periodically during treatment for pharmacokinetic studies.

After completion of study therapy, participants are followed at 7-10 days.
