[Comparative clinical study of pharmacokinetics and bioequivalence of Relonova and Maxalt].

Objective: Evaluation of the bioequivalence of the tested Relonova, tablets, 10 mg and Maxalt, tablets, 10 mg drugs on an empty stomach in healthy volunteers.

Material and methods: The pharmacokinetic analysis population included 40 volunteers, the safety analysis population included 40 volunteers. The average age of randomized volunteers (men - 20, women - 20) was 29.3±8.9 years, height 1.71±0.09 m, body weight 70.86±11.66 kg, mean BMI 24.18±2.81 kg/m². The method used high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometric detection. Statistical analysis of the obtained data was performed based on the assumption of a log-normal distribution of the parameters AUC0-72 and Cmax.

Results: The ratio of geometric means for the key pharmacokinetic parameters (AUC0-t, AUC0-inf and Cmax) of rizatriptan is close to 90%, CI is within the acceptable range for bioequivalent drugs (80-125%). The intrasubject variability (CVintra) for rizatriptan was 23.74% (Cmax), 10.94% (AUC0-t). The average profiles of the pharmacokinetic curves of rizatriptan when taking the test and reference drugs have similar shapes. Relonova and reference Maxalt are bioequivalent.

Conclusion: The results of the study make it possible to recommend Relonova for further clinical study and wide practical application.
