STUDY ABSTRACT
1. Methodology for clinical study
Design:Randomized, open-label, single-dose,two-treatment, two-sequence, two-period,
crossover study. Take drug after an overnight fasting of at least 10 hours. Wash-out period isat
least 14 days. The study is conducted on 24 subjects.
Investigational Products:
Test Product:Cardilopin(Amlodipine10 mg tablet)
Manufacturer: EgisPharmaceuticalsPlc.
Reference Product:NORVASC®10 mg(Amlodipine10 mg tablet)
Manufacturer:Pfizer Ltd.
Selection of subjects:
Subjects are healthy men or nonpregnant women, 18-45 years old, have BMI between 18.5 –
25.0 kg/m2, inclusive,who volunteer to participate in study, havelaboratory test results within
normal limits or NCS as determined by the Investigator. The clinical laboratory tests include:
- Haematology: Complete blood count, ABO blood group.
- Biochemistry: sodium, potassium, chloride, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase,
albumin,AST(GOT), ALT(GPT), serum creatinine, glucose, urea.
- HIV Antibody, Hepatitis C and Hepatitis B Surface Antigen.
- General urinalysis
- Electrocardiogram
- Alcohol in breath: On the screening day and at the pre-dose evening of each period.
- Drug abuse test:on the screening day and in confinement evening of each period:
Morphin (MOP); Marijuana (THC); Amphetamin (AMP);
Methylenedioxymethamphetamin (MDMA).
- Pregnancy test (for women): serum hCG test on screening day and urine pregnancy test
in the morning before dosing in each period.
Total 32 blood samples of each subject will be collected for both periods.
Blood samplewill be collected in Eppendorfconical tubes containing EDTA as anticoagulant.
The total blood volume will be approximately 197 ml (including additional 1 ml in each
collection to flush out the remain of anticoagulant and 5 ml for screening). The samples will
becentrifuged within 30 minutes of sample collection.The plasma will be transferred into
storage tubes, and place in the freezer to store at -350C ± 50C within 1 hour of sample
collection.
AEs recording and monitoring: AEs happening from dosing throughout2weeks after dosingof
each period, or longer, if deemed necessary by the Sponsor or Investigatorwill be recorded.All
AEs will be monitored until the subject is fully recovered/in stable condition, or lost to follow-
up.
Food and drink: Subjects will be fasting at least 10 hours before dosing and at least 4 hours
after dosing. Standardized meal will be served at about 12 hours before dosing, then at 4 and 11
hours post dose. During 1 hour before and after dosing, no water is allowed except for drug
administration.
Pharmacokinetics: Amlodipine is well absorbed after oral administration and not affected by
food, with bio-availability about 60% - 80%. The drug has Cmax about 6 ng/mL and tmaxabout 6-
10 hours after taking the dose of 10mg. Amlodipine is high protein-binding about 98%. The
drug is largely metabolized to inactive metabolites, excreted mainly through urine. T1/2 is about
30-40 hours.
Indications: Treatment of hypertension; Chronic stable angina pectoris; Vasospstic
(Prinzmetal’s) angina.
Contraindications:Amlodipine is contraindicated in patients with:
• hypersensitivity to dihydropyridine derivatives, amlodipine or to any of the inert excipients
• severe hypotension
• shock (including cardiogenic shock)
• obstruction of the outflow tract of the left ventricle (e.g., high grade aortic stenosis)
• haemodynamically unstable heart failure after acute myocardial infarction
Adverse drug reactions:
The most commonly reported adverse reactions during treatment are somnolence,
dizziness,headache, palpitations, flushing, abdominal pain, nausea, ankle swelling, oedema and
fatigue.
Less commonly observed side effects in marketing experience include:
MedDRA System Organ Class Undesirable effects
Blood and lymphatic system Leukocytopenia, thrombocytopenia
disorders
Metabolism and nutrition Hyperglycaemia
disorders
Psychiatric disorders Mood altered, insomnia
Nervous system disorders Hypertonia,hypoaesthesia, paraesthesia, peripheral
neuropathy, tremor, dysgeusia, syncope, extrapyramidal
disorder
Eye disorders Visual impairement
Ear and labyrinth disorders Tinnitus
Vascular disorders Hypotension, Vasculitis
Overdose:
Available data suggest that gross overdosage could result in excessive peripheral vasodilatation
and possibly reflex tachycardia. Marked and probably prolonged systemic hypotension up to
and including shock with fatal outcome have been reported.
Clinically significant hypotension due to amlodipine overdosage calls for active cardiovascular
support including frequent monitoring of cardiac and respiratory function, elevation of
extremities and attention to circulating fluid volume and urine output. A vasoconstrictor may be
helpful in restoring vascular tone and blood pressure, provided that there is no contraindication
to its use. Intravenous calcium gluconate may be beneficial in reversing the effects of calcium
channel blockade. Gastric lavage may be worthwhile in some cases. In healthy volunteers the
use of charcoal up to 2 hours after administration of amlodipine 10 mg has been shown to
reduce the absorption rate of amlodipine. Since amlodipine is highly protein-bound, dialysis is
not likely to be of benefit.
Interaction:
Effectsof other medicinal products on amlodipine:
CYP3A4 inhibitors

dosing.Subject may participate in light recreational activities during studies (e.g., watch
television, read). Should adverse events occur, subjects may be placed in an appropriate
position.
+ During confinement, subjects should avoid severe physical activities after dosing.
+ Severe physical activities should be limited during wash-out period.
- Smoking:
+ Only non- or ex-smokers (someone who completely stopped smoking for at least 6
months before day 1 of this study) will be allowed in this study.
- Contraception requirements: Male subject and female subjects of childbearing potential must
be sexually inactive by complete abstinence or use contraceptive methods.
+ Abstinence from penile-vaginal intercourse must be consistent with the preferred and
usual lifestyle of the subject. Periodic abstinence (e.g. calendar, ovulation,
symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of
contraception.
+ Contraceptive methods allowed in the study are male condom combined with a female
diaphragm, intrauterine device or system, either with or without a vaginal spermicide.
These allowed methods are only effectivewhen used consistently, correctly and in
accordance with the product label. The investigator is responsible for ensuring subjects
understand how to properly use these methods of contraception and are in compliance
with the approved methods by protocol and by local regulation.
4.7.Health monitoring
- During the study, vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, body temperature) will be
measured at the following time- point:
+ In the confinement night
+ At the time prior to drug administration
+ 2, 4, 8, 12,24, 48, 72and 96hours post dose (± 30 minutes)
+ At any time when the subjects feel abnormal
- Subjects will undergo physical examination before drug administration and after 12-hour
sample.
- Health status/medical history of volunteers will be recorded from screening day until the end
of the study. During this time, any medical problems if occurred will be treated as follows:
+ In housing days at CRO: clinical doctor will be responsible for initial treatment and
monitoring until the subject is in stable status. For severe cases, subject will be admitted to the
nearesthospital if needed.
+ If medical problems occur outside of the CRO’s facility, clinical doctor will give
advice through telephone / email / follow-up for mild cases with clear symptoms. If is needed,
clinical doctorwill directly examine the subject or ask him or her to go to the nearest medical
facility for examination/extra test.
- Subject’s health status and medical/medication historywill be recorded in the CRFs
document resolution of the event(s). All AEs will be followed until recovery or until the
condition stabilizes or until the subject is lost to follow-up.
- All AEs will be recorded in CRF with such details: name of AE, time occurred and ended,
treatments and medication used (if any), final outcome, classification
- AEs will be classified according to the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities as below:
+ Intensity/severity: The incidence, severity and duration of all AEs will be recorded
according to the following scale:

(30% - 110%).
- The plasma sample is stable at - 350C 50C for about 60 days.
The validation results are presented in full validation report.
5.1.2.Analysis of subject samples
- Check the suitability of the analytical method prior to analysis of samples. The analytical
method can be modified but then must be validated partially following the guidelinesbefore
using, if necessary.
- Analysis will be performed as soon as possible after finishing the sampling of period II and
the analytical duration must be within the stability period of plasma sample.
- All the samples of one subject will be analyzed in one day and under the same analytical
conditions.
- Samples of subject will not be used for analysis if:

study when they take part in both periods and not more than two consecutive missing
samples or more than three missing samples in any period)
+ During the study or after finishing the study, the subject is found to be non-compliant to
protocol requirements which can affect thestudy results (such as subjects use non-study
medicine or drinks affecting pharmacokinetics of the study medicine…).
+ Subjects withfour or more missing samples in any period.
+ Subjects with three or more consecutive missing samples in any period.
