NCT ID NCT07278349
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compared a generic vonoprazan 20 mg tablet to the brand-name Voquezna in 28 healthy adults. Participants took a single dose of each under fasting conditions to see if the generic releases the same amount of drug into the bloodstream. The goal was to check bioequivalence, not to treat any disease.
