Frequently asked questions about Cephalexin

What is Cephalexin?

Cephalexin is a small molecule anti-infective agent developed by Bayer AG (ticker BAYRY). It is studied in capsule and suspension formulations for anti-infective use. The clinical program registered for Cephalexin consists of Phase 1 bioequivalence studies conducted in Mexico.

Who makes Cephalexin?

Cephalexin is developed by Bayer AG, which trades under the ticker BAYRY. Bayer sponsored the registered Phase 1 bioequivalence studies of the capsule and suspension formulations of Cephalexin conducted in Mexico.

What phase is Cephalexin in?

Cephalexin is in Phase 1 development. Three Phase 1 trials have been registered, all of them completed, with no active trials currently listed. The studies were randomized, active controlled, and enrolled a total of 78 participants.

What clinical trials is Cephalexin in?

Three completed Phase 1 trials are registered for Cephalexin: NCT01105208, a crossover bioequivalence study of two Cephalexin suspension brands; NCT01073553, a crossover bioequivalence study of two Cephalexin capsule brands; and NCT01073540, another crossover bioequivalence study of two Cephalexin suspension brands. Each enrolled 26 healthy adult volunteers in Mexico.

Is Cephalexin the same as Optocef or BAYO5448?

Yes. Cephalexin is also known as Optocef and BAYO5448. These alternative names apply to both the capsule and suspension formulations of Cephalexin, so searches for Optocef or BAYO5448 refer to the same Bayer AG compound.

What is Cephalexin used for?

Cephalexin is being studied as an anti-infective agent. Its registered clinical program covers capsule and suspension formulations tested for bioequivalence in healthy adult volunteers, rather than in patients with a specific infection. The trials were conducted in Mexico under Bayer AG sponsorship.
