Summary
In vivo drug dissolution in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is largely unmeasured. The
purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the in vivo drug dissolution and systemic
absorption of the BCS Class IIa drug ibuprofen under fed and fasted conditions by direct
sampling of stomach and small intestinal luminal content. Expanding current knowledge of drug
dissolution in vivo will help to establish physiologically relevant in vitro models
predictive of drug dissolution.
