Background: A fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablet formulation of canagliflozin, a selective inhibitor of sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2), and metformin can potentially provide complimentary mechanism of action to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Objectives: To assess the bioequivalence of immediate release (IR) FDC tablets containing canagliflozin and metformin relative to co-administration of individual tablets of IR canagliflozin and metformin in healthy fed participants. Methods: The six studies were randomized, open-label, single-center, single-dose, 2-treatment, 2-period crossovertrials conducted in healthy male and female participants under fed conditions. Pharmacokinetics of canagliflozin and metformin were investigated following administration of 2 canagliflozin/metformin IR FDC tablets (test) at 50 mg/500 mg, 50 mg/850 mg, 50 mg/1,000 .. View More»
