The Effect of Food on Tramadol and Celecoxib Bioavailability Following Oral Administration of Co-Crystal of Tramadol-Celecoxib (CTC): A Randomised, Open-Label, Single-Dose, Crossover Study in Healthy Volunteers.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

Co-Crystal of Tramadol-Celecoxib (CTC), in development for the treatment of moderate to severe acute pain, is a first-in-class co-crystal containing a 1:1 molecular ratio of two active pharmaceutical ingredients; rac-tramadol·HCl and celecoxib. This randomised, open-label, crossover study compared the bioavailability of both components after CTC administration under fed and fasting conditions.

Methods

Healthy adults received single doses of 200 mg CTC under both fed and fasting conditions (separated by a 7-day washout). Each dose of CTC was administered orally as two 100 mg tablets, each containing 44 mg tramadol·HCl and 56 mg celecoxib. In the fed condition, a high-fat, high-calorie meal [in line with recommendations by the US Food and Drug Administ
