Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Population Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Modelling of Bilastine, a Second-Generation Antihistamine, in Healthy Japanese Subjects.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Bilastine is a novel second-generation antihistamine for the symptomatic treatment of allergic rhinitis and urticaria. The objective of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and tolerability of bilastine following single and multiple oral doses in healthy Japanese subjects. The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles were compared with those reported in Caucasian subjects.

Methods

In a single-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, single- and multiple-ascending dose study, bilastine tablets were administered at single doses of 10, 20, and 50 mg (Part I), and once daily for 14 days at 20 and 50 mg (Part II).

Results

After single oral doses, maximum plasma concentrations (C _max) were reached at 1.0-1.5 h postdose. Plasma exposure [C _max and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC)] increased dose-proportionally at single doses of 10-50 mg. In repeated-dose administration, no remarkable differences were observed between Day 1 and Day 14 for C _max or AUC. For inhibitory effects on wheal and flare response, bilastine 20 and 50 mg showed significant inhibition from 1.5 h after administration as compared with placebo, and the significant effect persisted for 24 h after administration. The rates of adverse events (AEs) were comparable between bilastine and placebo in both Part I and Part II. In addition, no dose- or administration period-dependent tendency of increase in rate of AEs or worsening of severity was observed.

Conclusion

Bilastine exhibits similar single- and multiple-dose pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics in healthy Japanese subjects compared with those observed in Caucasian subjects in previous studies.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:Atacicept is an inhibitor of the B lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) and a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL), and is being studied in relation to immunological disease. Currently, limited data on atacicept are available in non-Caucasian subjects. Pharmacokinetic data from earlier studies of atacicept were derived using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which was subsequently found to have inadequacies. Hence, a new bioanalytical ELISA for total atacicept was developed and validated. We conducted this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase I study to compare the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of atacicept in healthy Japanese and Caucasian subjects while generating pharmacokinetic data using the new ELISA. METHODS:Japanese subjects aged???18 to???55 years (n? =?24) were randomized (1:1:1:1) to a single subcutaneous dose of atacicept 25, 75, or 150 mg or placebo. Caucasian subjects were then enrolled to match the Japanese subjects' gender, body weight (±?20%), and height (±?15%). RESULTS:Atacicept was well tolerated and there were no clinically significant differences in treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), vital signs, or laboratory parameters between the Japanese and Caucasian subjects. Most (90%) TEAEs were mild; no severe or serious TEAEs or deaths occurred. Weight-adjusted atacicept exposure was comparable between ethnicities and across doses: the Japanese/Caucasian ratio of the area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero to the last sampling point (AUC0-t) was 107.21% (90% CI 93.42-123.02%) and the Japanese/Caucasian ratio of maximum serum concentration (Cmax) was 95.74% (90% CI 74.26-123.43%; ANCOVA). Median time to reach Cmax (tmax) was 20-60 h across all subjects. Dose-exposure relationships were comparable for the two ethnicities, with dose-normalized AUC0-t decreasing with increasing dose, indicating nonlinear pharmacokinetics for the doses examined. There were no statistically significant differences between ethnicities in the pharmacokinetics-dose relationship. Some transient dose-related decreases in mean serum immunoglobulin (Ig)A and IgM, but not IgG, were observed after atacicept administration. There were small transient increases in peripheral B cell numbers in the first 4 days after dosing that were larger with atacicept than with placebo, with no apparent dose relationship. No anti-atacicept antibodies were detected. CONCLUSION:The safety, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic profiles of atacicept in healthy Japanese subjects were comparable to those in healthy Caucasian subjects. EudraCT-ID: 2013-002703-34.
