Mini advil tablet tested for effectiveness and food effects
NCT ID NCT07345130
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study tested whether a new, smaller Advil tablet (Mini) works the same as the regular Advil tablet. Fifty healthy adults took single doses of both tablets under fasting conditions, and also took the Mini tablet with food to see how meals affect its absorption. The goal was to confirm bioequivalence and understand food's impact.

- Active substance
- Ibuprofen 200 mg
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that the mini tablet is just as effective as the regular Advil tablet, offering a smaller, easier-to-swallow option.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study in healthy volunteers, so results may not apply to people with medical conditions or those taking other medications.

A female participant who is not of childbearing potential must meet at least one of the following criteria: 1. Has achieved postmenopausal status, defined as cessation of regular menses for at least 12 consecutive months with no alternative pathological or physiological cause; and have a serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level \>=40 milli-international units per milliliter (mIU/mL). 2. Has undergone a documented (including self-reported) hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy. Exclusion Criteria: * A participant who is an employee of the investigational site, either directly involved in the conduct of the study or a member of their immediate family; or an employee of the investigational site otherwise supervised by the Investigator; or a Haleon employee directly involved in the conduct of the study or a member of their immediate family. * A participant who has participated in other studies (including non-medicinal studies) involving investigational product(s) within 30 days prior to study entry and/or during study participation. * A participant with, in the opinion of the Investigator or medically qualified designee, an acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the Investigator or medically qualified designee, would make the participant inappropriate for entry into this study. * A female participant who is pregnant (as confirmed by a positive pregnancy test) or intending to become pregnant over the duration of the study. * A female participant who is breastfeeding. * A participant with known or suspected intolerance or hypersensitivity to the study materials (or closely related compounds) or any of their stated ingredients. * A participant with any history of asthma, urticaria, or other significant allergic diathesis or allergic reaction to any other pain reliever/fever reducer (example, aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs \[NSAIDs\]). Childhood asthma may be acceptable at the discretion of the Investigator.
