Abstract;Objective: The primary objective was to evaluate the bioequivalence of novel injectable Famotidine solution E1170 and conventional freeze-dried injectable Famotidine agent. The secondary objective was to evaluate the safety of these agents. Design: Two way crossover open-label study. Method: E1170 and conventional freeze-dried injectable Famotidine were injected intramuscularly to 18 healthy Japanese male adults at the dose of 20 mg to study bioequivalence and safety of both dosage form. Results: 1) Bioequivalence: The 90 % confidence interval geometric mean ratio of Cmax and AUCt were 0.86-1.00 and 0.98-1.04. They implement the criteria of bioequivalence. Thus, novel injectable Famotidine solution E1170 and conventional freeze-dried injectable Famotidine agent were considered to be bioequivalent. 2) Safety: Seventeen out of 18 subjects felt more painful by E1170 injection than by conventional freeze-dried injectable Famotidine. One out of 18 felt almost equally painful by injection of both dosage form. No adverse events were observed. Conclusion: Novel injectable Famotidine solution E1170 and conventional freeze-dried injectable Famotidine agent were safe and considered to be bioequivalent (author abst.)
