Intervention(s)

Product Name: Metronidazole capsule 50 mg
Product Code: FP-110
Pharmaceutical Form: Capsule, hard
INN or Proposed INN: Metronidazole
CAS Number: 44-348-1
Current Sponsor code: Fp-110

Primary Outcome(s)
Primary end point(s): Pharmacokinetics of the formulations: The AUC of the modified release formulations, calculated on equivalent dose, must be significantly lower compared to the immediate release formulation of metronidazole
Secondary Objective: Exploratory, safety and efficacy of the treatment will also be evaluated to see whether change in systemic exposure reduces side effects and whether the modified release formulation shows clinical benefit to the subjects.
Main Objective: To investigate the pharmacokinetics of two dosages of a modified release formulation of metronidazole in subjects with active acute or chronic pouchitis and compare it to the current standard immediate release formulation of metronidazole (Flagyl 500 mg).
