Pharmacokinetics of Tramadol and Celecoxib in Japanese and Caucasian Subjects Following Administration of Co-Crystal of Tramadol-Celecoxib (CTC): A Randomised, Open-Label Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Co-Crystal of Tramadol-Celecoxib (CTC) is a first-in-class active pharmaceutical ingredient (API-API) co-crystal of rac-tramadol.HCl and celecoxib in a 1:1 molecular ratio (100 mg CTC: 44 mg rac-tramadol.HCl and 56 mg celecoxib). Tramadol and celecoxib pharmacokinetics are modified after CTC administration versus administration of reference products. This randomised, open-label, crossover, phase 1 study assessed CTC pharmacokinetics, dose proportionality, safety and tolerability in Japanese and Caucasian subjects.

Methods

CTC (100, 150 and 200 mg) was administered orally to healthy Japanese/Caucasian subjects. Tramadol, O-desmethyltramadol and celecoxib plasma concentrations were determined pre-dose and up to 48 h post-dose. Maximum observed plasma concentration (C_max), and area under the plasma concentration-time curve from dosing to last measurable concentration (AUC_t) and from dosing extrapolated to infinity (AUC_∞) were evaluated. Dose proportionality was assessed in a dose-adjusted bioavailability analysis of variance and in a power model. Inter-cohort comparability of pharmacokinetic exposure was confirmed if the ratio (Japanese cohort/Caucasian cohort) of geometric least-squares means and corresponding 90% confidence intervals were 80-125%. Post hoc weight-adjusted comparability analyses were performed. Safety was assessed throughout.

Results

Sixty subjects (21 males/9 females per cohort) were randomised; 57 completed the study. Cohorts were age and BMI matched; there were expected inter-cohort weight differences. Exposure to each analyte increased in both cohorts with increasing CTC dose. Tramadol's pharmacokinetic exposure was comparable between cohorts after adjusting for body weight; the pharmacokinetic exposure of O-desmethyltramadol and celecoxib was increased in Japanese subjects.

Conclusions

Differences in pharmacokinetics were not sufficient to suggest that CTC dose adjustment is required in Japanese subjects.

Project description:Background and objectiveCo-Crystal of Tramadol-Celecoxib (CTC), in development for the treatment of moderate to severe acute pain, is a first-in-class co-crystal containing a 1:1 molecular ratio of two active pharmaceutical ingredients; rac-tramadol·HCl and celecoxib. This randomised, open-label, crossover study compared the bioavailability of both components after CTC administration under fed and fasting conditions.MethodsHealthy adults received single doses of 200 mg CTC under both fed and fasting conditions (separated by a 7-day washout). Each dose of CTC was administered orally as two 100 mg tablets, each containing 44 mg tramadol·HCl and 56 mg celecoxib. In the fed condition, a high-fat, high-calorie meal [in line with recommendations by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)] was served 30 min before CTC administration. Tramadol, O-desmethyltramadol and celecoxib plasma concentrations were measured pre- and post-dose up to 48 h. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using non-compartmental analysis. Safety was also assessed.ResultsThirty-six subjects (18 female/18 male) received one or both doses of CTC; 33 provided evaluable pharmacokinetic data under fed and fasting conditions. For tramadol and O-desmethyltramadol, fed-to-fasting ratios of geometric least-squares means and corresponding 90% confidence interval (CI) values for maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and extrapolated area under the plasma concentration-time curve to infinity (AUC∞) were within the pre-defined range for comparative bioavailability (80-125%). For celecoxib, Cmax and AUC∞ fed-to-fasting ratios (90% CIs) were outside this range, at 130.91% (116.98-146.49) and 129.34% (121.78-137.38), respectively. The safety profile of CTC was similar in fed and fasting conditions.ConclusionsAs reported for standard-formulation celecoxib, food increased the bioavailability of celecoxib from single-dose CTC. Food had no effect on tramadol or O-desmethyltramadol bioavailability.Clinical trial registration number152052 (registered with the Therapeutic Products Directorate of Health Canada).

Project description:IntroductionThis study evaluated the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single and multiple doses of opicapone (OPC) in healthy Chinese and Caucasian subjects.MethodsIn this open-label, single-center, phase 1 study, eligible Chinese subjects received one of three OPC doses (25, 50, or 100 mg), and Caucasian subjects received either 25 or 50 mg of OPC. All subjects were administered a single dose of OPC, whereas subjects in the 50-mg OPC group continued to receive once-daily doses of 50 mg OPC for 10 days. The primary endpoint was to evaluate and compare the plasma concentrations and PK parameters of OPC and its main metabolite, and erythrocyte-soluble catechol-O-methyltransferase (S-COMT) activity in Chinese subjects with that of Caucasian subjects. The secondary endpoint was to evaluate the safety of OPC in Chinese subjects. The estimated results for geometric mean ratios (GMRs) were evaluated with the standard bioequivalence (BE) limits between 80% and 125% to evaluate the ethnic differences. All statistical analyses were performed using SAS version 9.4.ResultsIn total, 70 subjects (45 Chinese, 25 Caucasian) were enrolled; the majority of them were male (85.7%). The plasma exposure of both OPC and BIA 9-1103 increased in an approximately dose-proportional manner in both populations. Maximum S-COMT inhibition ranged from 79% to 95% after a single dose and was about 94% after a 10-day once-daily regimen in both populations. The point estimates of GMRs (Chinese/Caucasian) and 90% CI, except Cmax in 25-mg and 50-mg OPC groups, for PK and PD parameters were within 80% to 125%. Furthermore, no new risks or safety concerns associated with OPC were identified, indicating a tolerable safety profile in healthy Chinese subjects.ConclusionEthnicity had no significant impact on PK and PD parameters after single or multiple doses of OPC, and OPC was safe and tolerable in healthy Chinese subjects.Trial registrationChiCTR number, CTR20192230.

Project description:Background and objectivesRotigotine is a dopamine receptor agonist with activity across the D1 through to D5 receptors as well as select serotonergic and adrenergic sites; continuous transdermal delivery of rotigotine with replacement of the patch once daily maintains stable plasma concentrations over 24 h. Rotigotine is indicated for the treatment of early and advanced-stage Parkinson's disease and moderate-to-severe idiopathic restless legs syndrome. The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a drug may vary between subjects of different ethnic origin. This study evaluated the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of single-dose treatment with rotigotine transdermal patch in Japanese and Caucasian subjects.MethodsIn this open-label, parallel-group study, healthy male and female subjects of Japanese or Caucasian ethnic origin were matched by sex, body mass index, and age. A single transdermal patch delivering 2 mg/24 h rotigotine (patch content 4.5 mg) was applied to the ventral/lateral abdomen for 24 h. The main outcome measures were the plasma concentrations of unconjugated and total rotigotine and its desalkyl metabolites and derived pharmacokinetic parameters (area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to last quantifiable concentration [AUClast], maximum plasma concentration [Cmax], and body weight- and dose-normalized values).ResultsThe pharmacokinetic analysis included 48 subjects (24 Japanese, 24 Caucasian). The mean apparent dose of rotigotine was 2.0±0.5 mg for Japanese subjects and 2.08±0.58 mg for Caucasians. Plasma concentration-time profiles of unconjugated rotigotine and of the main metabolites were similar for both ethnic groups. Parameters of model-independent pharmacokinetics, Cmax, time to Cmax (tmax), and AUClast, for unconjugated rotigotine showed no statistically significant differences between Japanese and Caucasian subjects. Values of concentration-dependent pharmacokinetic parameters were higher in female subjects; this difference was minimized after correction for body weight. A statistically significant difference between ethnic groups was observed for total rotigotine concentrations (total rotigotine=unconjugated rotigotine+conjugated rotigotine), with slightly lower values in Caucasians after correction for body weight and apparent dose. No relevant differences were observed between males and females. Inter-individual variability was high. The terminal half-life for unconjugated rotigotine was 5.3 h in Japanese subjects and 5.7 h in Caucasians; corresponding values for total rotigotine were 8.6 h and 9.6 h. Less than 0.1% of the apparent dose was renally excreted as the parent compound. Renal elimination of total rotigotine covers 11.7% of absorbed dose in Japanese subjects and 10.8% of the absorbed dose in Caucasians, whereas the renal elimination via total despropyl rotigotine was 8.2 and 7.1%, respectively. The corresponding values for total desthienylethyl rotigotine were 3.5% in Japanese subjects and 4.2% Caucasians. Most adverse events were mild in intensity and typical for dopamine agonists or for transdermal therapeutics.ConclusionAdministration of a single patch delivering 2 mg/24 h rotigotine resulted in comparable pharmacokinetic profiles in Japanese and Caucasian subjects. The rotigotine transdermal patch was generally well-tolerated. Our findings suggest similar dose requirements for Japanese and Caucasian populations.

Project description:Background and objectiveAtacicept 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.MethodsJapanese 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%).ResultsAtacicept 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.ConclusionThe safety, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic profiles of atacicept in healthy Japanese subjects were comparable to those in healthy Caucasian subjects.
