Impact of Insulin Tregopil and Its Permeation Enhancer on Pharmacokinetics of Metformin in Healthy Volunteers: Randomized, Open-Label, Placebo-Controlled, Crossover Study.

ABSTRACT: Oral insulin tregopil (IN-105; a new drug under development) may be coadministered with oral antidiabetic drugs, such as metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus for optimal glycemic control. IN-105 has sodium caprate excipient, a permeation enhancer, for enhancing absorption in the stomach and increasing bioavailability via an oral route. Sodium caprate may increase bioavailability of metformin by a similar mechanism. Therefore, it was necessary to study the effect of IN-105 on pharmacokinetics (PKs) of metformin. In this randomized, open-label, cross-over study, metformin was administered to healthy volunteers receiving IN-105/placebo under fed/fasting conditions. The 90% confidence interval (CI) of the geometric mean ratio of the area under the curve from time zero to infinity (AUC_0-inf ; fasting and fed) and peak plasma concentration (C_max ; fed) of metformin were within 0.80-1.25 acceptance range. Under fasting conditions, the upper bound margin of C_max was just beyond this range (i.e., 1.27) and was concluded as functionally not relevant. There was no clinically significant effect of sodium caprate/IN-105 on PKs of metformin under fasting/fed conditions, and it was safe.

Project description:PurposeThe combined administration of bazedoxifene, a tissue-selective estrogen receptor modulator, and cholecalciferol can be a promising therapeutic option for postmenopausal osteoporosis patients. This study aimed to examine the pharmacokinetic interactions between these two drugs and the tolerability of their combined administration in healthy male subjects.Patients and methodsThirty male volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the six sequences comprised of three treatments: bazedoxifene 20 mg monotherapy, cholecalciferol 1600 IU monotherapy, and combined bazedoxifene and cholecalciferol therapy. For each treatment, a single dose of the investigational drug(s) was administered orally, and serial blood samples were collected to measure the plasma concentrations of bazedoxifene and cholecalciferol. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using the non-compartmental method. The point estimate and 90% confidence interval (CI) of the geometric mean ratio (GMR) were obtained to compare the exposures of combined therapy and monotherapy. The pharmacokinetic parameters compared were the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the last quantifiable concentration (AUClast). The safety and tolerability of the combined therapy were assessed in terms of the frequency and severity of adverse events (AEs).ResultsFor bazedoxifene, the GMR (90% CI) of the combined therapy to monotherapy was 1.044 (0.9263-1.1765) for Cmax and 1.1329 (1.0232-1.2544) for AUClast. For baseline-adjusted cholecalciferol, the GMR (90% CI) of the combined therapy to monotherapy was 0.8543 (0.8005-0.9117) for Cmax and 0.8056 (0.7445-0.8717) for AUClast. The frequency of AEs observed was not significantly different between the combined therapy and monotherapy, and their severity was mild in all cases.ConclusionA mild degree of pharmacokinetic interaction was observed when bazedoxifene and cholecalciferol were administered concomitantly to healthy male volunteers. This combined therapy was well tolerated at the dose levels used in the present study.

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.
