Brief Summary: Objectives:

The objectives of the study was to investigate the bioequivalence between two formulations containing S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine L-lysine monohydrate salt (SCMC-lys) when administered as single oral dose in two consecutive study periods to healthy male and female volunteers under fasting conditions.

Primary end-point: to evaluate the bioequivalent rate (Cmax) and extent (AUC0-t) of absorption of carbocysteine after single oral administration of test and reference.

Secondary end-points:

* to describe the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of carbocysteine after single oral administration of test and reference products;
* to collect safety and tolerability data after single oral administration of test and reference products.
Detailed Description: This was a single centre, single dose, open, randomised, two-way, cross-over, two stage bioequivalence study. According to the two-stage design of the study, an initial group of subjects was treated in study stage 1 and data were analysed. If bioequivalence had been demonstrated, according to the protocol, the study would have been terminated after stage 1. Since this occurred, stage 2 was not performed.

The study was conducted as planned and consisted of a screening visit, a treatment phase of two study periods separated by a wash out interval of at least 4 days and a final visit / early termination visit (ETV).

Due to the lack of information about the PK profile of the new formulation it was decided to use a "two stage" bioequivalence study design, that allows a re-calculation of the sample size in case the number of subjects initially enrolled in the study is not large enough to provide a reliable answer to the questions addressed due to underestimation of the variability or misleading estimation of the point estimate for the Test/Reference (T/R) ratio of the geometric means.

The sequence of treatments in the two study periods was assigned to each randomised subject according to a computer generated randomisation list.

A wash-out period of at least 4 days between the two administrations is justified by the elimination half-life of the carbocysteine (1-2 h).
