ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is designed to compare two versions of Fluvastatin sodium extended release tablets, which are used to help manage cholesterol levels. The study will evaluate whether a new version of the medication made by Shenzhen Salubris Pharmaceuticals is similar to an existing version from Beijing Novartis Pharma in how it works in the body. Healthy adults aged 18 to 65 years who meet specific health criteria may be eligible to participate. Participants must be in good health, have a body weight within certain ranges, and not have any significant medical conditions or allergies that could interfere with the study.

If you decide to take part in this trial, you will be given the medication in both fasting and fed conditions, meaning you will need to follow specific eating guidelines. Participants will need to sign an informed consent form, ensuring they understand the study's purpose and procedures. It’s important to note that women who could become pregnant must use effective contraception during the study and for three months afterward. Overall, this trial aims to gather important information about the medication's effectiveness and safety in healthy individuals.
