Characterization of the Pharmacokinetics of Samidorphan in Healthy Volunteers: Absolute Bioavailability and the Effect of Food and Age.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Samidorphan (SAM) is a novel ?-opioid receptor antagonist. We report clinical pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of SAM following different routes of administration, and the effects of food and age on the PK of SAM following oral administration in healthy volunteers. METHODS:An open-label, fixed-sequence study (study 1, N?=?10) examined the PK parameters following intravenous, sublingual, and oral exposure to SAM to determine absolute bioavailability. A double-blind, placebo-controlled study (study 2, N?=?45) compared the PK in participants aged 18-40 years (cohort 1, n?=?30) and???65 years (cohort 2, n?=?15) who received a single oral dose of SAM 10 mg under fed (cohort 1 only) or fasted conditions. RESULTS:In study 1, intravenous SAM had a plasma clearance of 33.7 L/h, volume of distribution of 341 L, and elimination half-life of 7-8 h. SAM was well-absorbed following sublingual or oral administration and reached peak concentrations (Cmax) within 2 h, with absolute bioavailability of 71% (sublingual) and 69% (oral). In study 2, concentration-time profiles were similar under fed and fasted conditions (cohort 1) and for young and elderly participants from both cohorts; 90% confidence intervals for the geometric least squares mean ratios for Cmax and area under the concentration-time curve from time zero extrapolated to infinity indicated equivalence. CONCLUSIONS:SAM has high bioavailability that is comparable following sublingual and oral administration and is not subject to extensive first-pass metabolism. The PK of orally administered SAM are not affected by food or age.

Project description:Dronabinol is a pharmaceutical tetrahydrocannabinol originally developed as an oral capsule. A dronabinol oral solution was recently approved, and the effects of food on absorption and bioavailability of the oral solution versus capsules were compared in an open-label, single-dose, 3-period crossover study. Healthy volunteers were randomized to either dronabinol oral solution 4.25 mg (fed) or dronabinol capsule 5 mg (fed or fasted). Dosing was separated by a 7-day washout period. Plasma pharmacokinetics were evaluated for dronabinol and its major metabolite, 11-hydroxy-delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (11-OH-?9-THC). Pharmacokinetic data were available for analysis in 54 volunteers. In the fed state, initial dronabinol absorption was faster with oral solution versus capsule (mean time to the first measurable concentration, 0.15 vs 2.02 hours, respectively), with 100% and 15% of volunteers, respectively, having detectable plasma dronabinol levels 30 minutes postdose. There was less interindividual variability in plasma dronabinol concentration during early absorption with oral solution versus capsule. Compared with the fasted state, mean area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the last measurable concentration (AUC0-t ) increased by 2.1- and 2.4-fold for dronabinol oral solution and capsule, respectively, when taken with food. Mean time to maximum plasma concentration was similarly delayed for dronabinol oral solution with food (7.7 hours) and capsule with food (5.6 hours) versus capsule with fasting (1.7 hours). Under fed conditions, AUC0-t and area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity were similar for the oral solution versus capsule based on 11-OH-?9-THC levels. An appreciable food effect was observed for dronabinol oral solution and capsules. Dronabinol oral solution may offer therapeutic benefit to patients, given its rapid and lower interindividual absorption variability versus dronabinol capsule.

Project description:ObjectivesTedizolid phosphate is a novel antibacterial under investigation for the treatment of gram-positive infections. This study was conducted to assess the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of intravenous tedizolid phosphate as well as the oral bioavailability of tedizolid phosphate.DesignDouble-blind, single-ascending dose, multiple-dose pharmacokinetics study, as well as tolerability and open-label crossover studies.SettingSingle center in the United States (Covance Clinical Research Unit, Madison, WI) between September 2009 and January 2010.ParticipantsNinety healthy volunteers.InterventionSingle intravenous (IV) doses of tedizolid phosphate 50 mg (lead-in) and 100-400 mg. Single oral and IV dose of tedizolid phosphate 200 mg in crossover fashion. Multiple IV doses of tedizolid phosphate 200 and 300 mg for up to 7 days.Measurements and main resultsA dose-dependent increase was observed in the maximum plasma concentration (1.2-5.1 μg/ml) and the area under the concentration-time curve (17.4-58.7 μg × hr/ml) of tedizolid (the microbiologically active moiety of tedizolid phosphate) after single IV doses of tedizolid phosphate 100-400 mg. Administration of IV tedizolid phosphate 200 mg once/day for 7 days resulted in minimal (28%) tedizolid accumulation. The absolute oral bioavailability of tedizolid after a single 200-mg dose of tedizolid phosphate was 91%; pharmacokinetic parameters of tedizolid were similar with oral and IV administration. Treatment-related adverse events occurred in 41% of subjects. Most adverse events were related to infusion site and became more frequent with multiple dosing. In an additional 3-day tolerability study, IV tedizolid phosphate 200 mg and placebo were similarly tolerated, based on visual infusion phlebitis scores.ConclusionThese results from a population of healthy volunteers support once/day dosing of tedizolid phosphate 200 mg with both the oral and IV formulations, without the need for dose adjustment when switching administration routes.
