Primary Endpoints

Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from zero hours to last quantifiable time (AUC0-t)
Pre-dose and 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 10.0, 12.0, 16.0, 24.0, 36.0, 48.0, 60.0, 72.0 and 96.0 hours post dose in each treatment period

Bioequivalence will be evaluated for isotretinoin 40 mg using three distinct medications; two assigned as reference medication (T1 and T2) and 1 test medication (T3). Each subject will receive 2 capsules (20 mg each) orally.

Frequently asked questions about Isotretinoin: Reference Medication 1

What is Isotretinoin used for?

Isotretinoin is a small molecule medication being studied for the treatment of acne vulgaris. It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development as an investigational drug. The reference medication is being evaluated in a bioequivalence study involving healthy male subjects under fed conditions.

Who makes Isotretinoin?

Isotretinoin is being developed by GSK plc, a pharmaceutical company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker GSK. The company is conducting clinical research on this small molecule for the dermatology indication of acne vulgaris.

What phase is Isotretinoin in?

Isotretinoin is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. One Phase 1 clinical trial has been completed for this medication, which was a bioequivalence study in healthy male subjects.

What clinical trials is Isotretinoin in?

Isotretinoin has one completed clinical trial registered under NCT02498288, titled "A Study to Determine Bioequivalence of Isotretinoin in Healthy Male Subjects Under Fed Condition." This Phase 1 study enrolled 36 healthy male participants in Mexico and was not randomized or double-blinded.

Is Isotretinoin the same as reference medication 1?

Isotretinoin is identified as "Reference Medication 1" in the clinical trial data. This designation indicates it serves as the reference product in a bioequivalence study, meaning it is the standard medication against which a test product is compared.
