Description of intervention(s) / exposure
In the First group, the Comparator Treatment Ravidasvir Reference product will be administered as a single dose of 200 mg [1 x 200 mg] tablet on Day 1 and Day 15 with approximately 240 mL of ambient temperature water under fasted conditions. On day 8 and Day 22, the First group will receive a single dose of 200 mg [1 x 200 mg] tablet of the Interventional Treatment Ravidasvir Test product with approximately 240mL of ambient temperature water under fasted conditions. Each dose of RDV (first dose on Day 1, second dose on Day 8, third dose on Day 15 and last done on Day 22) will be separated by a washout period of at least 7 days.

Summary
Brief summary
Ravidasvir, is being developed for the treatment of Hepatitis C, a liver disease caused by a virus (HCV). Ravidasvir is a NS5A inhibitor, which exhibits potent inhibition of HCV replication in HCV replicon assays. In an ongoing phase II/III study, it was hypothesized that sofosbuvir plus ravidasvir constitutes a pan-genotypic, potent and safe regimen which can be used in decentralized public health settings under the supervision of appropriately trained health care professionals. Such a combination will not require intensive pre-treatment evaluation or monitoring and can thus be scaled up together with active identification and linkage to care of HCV infected persons. 301 patients were included in the study and preliminary data are very promising. During the course of development, a new batch of ravidasvir tablets has been prepared by the proposed commercial manufacturer (Doppel Farmaceutici, Italy) with an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) manufactured by Pharco B International (Egypt). Tablets manufactured from the Pharco B international API are intended to be used in subsequent clinical trials and be registered as the commercial product.
We are doing this assay to assess if ravidasvir 200 mg tablets supplied by Doppel Farmaceutici from CAD Middle East Pharmaceutical Industries LLC (Saudi Arabia) API and tablets from Doppel Farmaceutici from the Pharco B international API are bioequivalent.
The study will be done at a single site: Clinical Research Ward at Ampang Hospital.
