The main purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetics (how the body absorbs and clears the drug) and evaluate the bioequivalence of two formulations of sitagliptin/metformin hydrochloride extended-release tablets (50 mg/500 mg) in healthy adult subjects. The test product is manufactured by Qilu Pharmaceutical (Hainan) Co., Ltd., and the reference product is Janumet® XR. The study is designed as a single-center, open-label, randomized, single-dose, two-period, two-sequence crossover trial. It consists of two separate parts: a fasting study and a fed study. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the test formulation or the reference formulation in the first period. After a washout period of at least 5 days, participants will receive the alternate formulation in the second period. Blood samples will be collected at designated time points before and after dosing to measure the blood concentration of sitagliptin and metformin. Safety will also be continuously monitored throughout the study by assessing adverse events, vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and clinical laboratory tests.
