Using a single tablet daily to treat latent tuberculosis infection in Brazil: bioequivalence of two different isoniazid formulations (300 mg and 100 mg) demonstrated by a sensitive and rapid high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method in a randomised, crossover study.

ABSTRACT: The recommended treatment for latent tuberculosis (TB) infection in adults is a daily dose of isoniazid (INH) 300 mg for six months. In Brazil, INH was formulated as 100 mg tablets. The treatment duration and the high pill burden compromised patient adherence to the treatment. The Brazilian National Programme for Tuberculosis requested a new 300 mg INH formulation. The aim of our study was to compare the bioavailability of the new INH 300 mg formulation and three 100 mg tablets of the reference formulation. We conducted a randomised, single dose, open label, two-phase crossover bioequivalence study in 28 healthy human volunteers. The 90% confidence interval for the INH maximum concentration of drug observed in plasma and area under the plasma concentration vs. time curve from time zero to the last measurable concentration "time t" was 89.61-115.92 and 94.82-119.44, respectively. The main limitation of our study was that neither adherence nor the safety profile of multiple doses was evaluated. To determine the level of INH in human plasma, we developed and validated a sensitive, simple and rapid high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method. Our results showed that the new formulation was bioequivalent to the 100 mg reference product. This finding supports the use of a single 300 mg tablet daily strategy to treat latent TB. This new formulation may increase patients' adherence to the treatment and quality of life.

Project description:The aim of the study was to determine the various pharmacokinetic parameters of the newly developed cost-effective aceclofenac 100 mg tablet formulation (F-15) and to establish the bioequivalence against the marketed brand (ACEMED). Both products (test and reference) were given to 12 healthy non-smokers male subjects with overnight fasting of >10hr. The study was a randomized, single-dose, open-label, two sequence, and two treatment crossover design, with a washout period of 2 weeks. Blood samples (5 mL) from the human subjects were collected before (0 hr) and after drug administration at 13different time points (0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12 and 18 hrs). The drug plasma concentration was analyzed by a validated RP-HPLC method using a solvent system containing acetonitrile and deionized water (60:40% v/v). Linearity was found to be 0.999 over the drug concentration range of 50μg/mL to 0.05μg/mL with LLOQ and LOD of 0.05μg/mL and 0.025μg/mL respectively. Non-compartmental pharmacokinetic analysis was performed using Kinetica® (ver. 5.1) software. Using the log-transformed data Cmax, AUC0-t, AUC0-∞, AUMCtot, and MRT were calculated. The Cmax of the test and brand was found to be 8.629±1.251μg/mL and 8.478±0.913μg/mL. The AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ of the test and the reference were computed to be 20.890 ±2.2021μg/mL.h, 23.272 ±1.914 μg/mL.h and 19.850 ±2.911 μg/mL.h, 22.890 ± 2.110 μg/mL.h correspondingly. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test and two one-sided t-test (p>0.05; non-significant) were applied to assess the variation in the period, sequence, subjects, and treatment. Geometric mean ratios for above mentioned pharmacokinetic parameters of reference/test were found within the acceptable FDA limits of 80-125% using 90% CI. There was no inter and intrasubject variation (p> 0.05) that was observed. Therefore, the directly compressible aceclofenac (100 mg) test formulation and the commercial reference tablets were declared to be biosimilar.

Project description:Background and objectiveVenetoclax is an approved BCL-2 inhibitor, currently under evaluation in different hematological malignancies in adult and pediatric populations. Venetoclax is available as 10, 50, and 100 mg tablets. To provide an alternative to patients who find taking the commonly prescribed 100 mg tablet a challenge, the interchangeability of lower-strength tablets with the 100 mg tablet was investigated. Additionally, newly developed oral suspension powder formulations to facilitate dosing in pediatrics were evaluated.MethodsPharmacokinetic data from 80 healthy female participants from three phase I studies were utilized to evaluate the bioavailability of (1) 10 and 50 mg tablets relative to a 100 mg tablet; (2) 0.72 and 7.2% (drug to total weight) oral powder formulations relative to the 100 mg tablet; and (3) oral powder formulations administered using different vehicles (apple juice, apple sauce, and yogurt) relative to water under fed conditions.ResultsBioavailability assessments at a 100 mg dose of venetoclax demonstrated bioequivalence across the 10, 50, and 100 mg tablet strengths. Oral powder formulations met the bioequivalence criteria (0.80-1.25) with respect to area under the concentration-time curve to time of the last measurable concentration (AUCt) and to infinite time (AUC∞) but exhibited a slightly lower maximum plasma concentration (Cmax). Exposure-response analyses were utilized to demonstrate that the lower Cmax observed with the powder formulations is not clinically meaningful. The delivery vehicles tested did not affect the bioavailability of venetoclax oral powder formulations.ConclusionsThe smaller-sized tablets (10 and 50 mg) and the newly developed oral powder formulations of venetoclax can be used interchangeably with the 100 mg tablets to improve the patients' experience, while maintaining adequate exposure.

Project description:UnlabelledThe present study aimed to investigate the pharmacokinetic properties of febuxostat in healthy Chinese male volunteers and evaluate whether the two formulations of febuxostat 40-mg and 80-mg tablets are bioequivalent. A randomized, open-label, 4-way crossover study was conducted in healthy Chinese male volunteers under fasting conditions. 24 eligible subjects were randomized in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to receive a single dose of test or reference formulation of febuxostat 40-mg or 80-mg tablet. The washout period between each administration was 1 week. Plasma febuxostat was quantified by a validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method. Tolerability was evaluated by monitoring adverse events, physical examinations, 12-lead ECG and laboratory tests. After single-dosing of 1 tablet of 40-mg febuxostat, the pharmacokinetic parameters of test and reference formulations were: Tmax 1.22±0.87 and 1.85±1.03 h, Cmax 1689.16±461.31 and 1613.80±608.43 ng·mL-1, AUC0-t 5139.87±1349.28 and 5517.91±2024.26 ng·mL-1·h, AUC0-∞ 5263.06±1339.16 and 5640.48±2040.22 ng·mL-1·h, t1/2 4.82±2.61 and 4.85±1.78 h, respectively. After single-dosing of 1 tablet of 80-mg febuxostat, the pharmacokinetic parameters of test and reference formulations were: Tmax 1.71±1.21 and 2.23±1.55 h, Cmax 2744.47±1157.44 and 2998.17±1200.13 ng·mL-1, AUC0-t 9634.03±2768.25 and 10467.95±3501.65 ng·mL-1·h, AUC0-∞ 9834.32±2730.51 and 10626.63±3504.08 ng·mL-1·h, t1/2 6.25±2.44 and 5.46±1.65 h, respectively. For single-dosing of 1 tablet of 40-mg febuxostat, 90% CIs for the test/reference ratio of AUC0-t, AUC0-∞ and Cmax were 89.79 to 102.55, 90.14 to 102.56 and 93.99 to 129.63, respectively. For single-dosing of 1 tablet of 80-mg febuxostat, 90% CIs for the test/reference ratio of AUC0-t, AUC0-∞ and Cmax were 86.67 to 100.00, 87.50 to 100.51 and 79.48 to 105.99, respectively. This single dose study revealed similar pharmacokinetic properties in healthy Chinese male volunteers as those found in Caucasic population. The test and reference febuxostat tablets formulations met the regulatory criteria for bioequivalence at 40-mg and 80-mg strengths in fasting healthy Chinese male volunteers.Trial registrationChictr.org ChiCTR-TTRCC-14004288.

Project description:PurposeTo demonstrate the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) equivalence of a biosimilar enoxaparin to the reference drug, and to assess its safety and tolerability in healthy volunteers.Patients and methodsA randomized, double-blind, crossover, 2-sequence, single-dose study was conducted in healthy volunteers of both sexes. Participants were sequentially and randomly administered single subcutaneous injections of enoxaparin 100 mg manufactured by Rovi (test; Madrid, Spain) and Clexane® (enoxaparin 100 mg manufactured by Sanofi, reference) separated by a 1-week washout period. The primary PK/PD variables were maximum activity (Amax) and area under the effect curve from time 0 to the last measured activity (T) (AUEC0-T) and AUEC from time 0 to infinity (AUEC0-inf) of anti-FXa activity, and Amax and AUEC0-T of anti-FIIa activity. Secondary variables were Amax and AUEC0-T, AUEC0-inf of tissue factor pathway inhibitor, and the ratio of AUEC0-T anti-FXa to anti-FIIa activity. Biosimilarity would be shown when the 95% CI of the ratio of geometric least squares means (95% CI RGLSMs) of primary PK/PD parameters fell within the standard range of bioequivalence, ie, 80%-125%.ResultsThe study sample consisted of 46 volunteers (33 males) aged 18-44 years and with body mass index ranging from 19.0 to 31.1 kg/m2. Three subjects did not complete the study. The curves of anti-FXa, anti-FIIa and tissue factor pathway inhibitor activities corresponding to administration of the test and reference products were comparable. The 95% CI RGLSMs of Amax, AUEC0-T and AUEC0-inf for anti-FXa activity were 94.6%-105.9%, 99.8%-108.0% and 100.0%-108.6% respectively; Amax and AUEC0-T for anti-FIIa activity were 94.7%-112.6% and 90.9%-117.9% respectively. In addition, the 95% CI RGLSMs of all secondary variables fell within the range 80%-125%. The incidence and types of adverse events after administration of the test and reference drugs were similar.ConclusionThe results conclusively showed that the enoxaparin manufactured by Rovi is equivalent to the reference enoxaparin in all primary and secondary PK/PD parameters, as required by the European Medicines Agency to grant marketing authorization to a biosimilar low molecular-weight heparin.
