Pharmacokinetics of Oral Cholecalciferol in Healthy Subjects with Vitamin D Deficiency: A Randomized Open-Label Study.

ABSTRACT: the aim of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety profile of high-dose vitamin D supplementation, comparing different schedules (daily, weekly, or bi-weekly) in an otherwise healthy vitamin D-deficient population. Methods: single-center, open-label study on healthy subjects deficient in vitamin D (25 (OH)D < 20 ng/mL), randomized to receive cholecalciferol (DIBASE®, Abiogen Pharma, Italy) using three different schedules: Group A: 10,000 IU/day for eight weeks followed by 1000 IU/day for four weeks; Group B: 50,000 IU/week for 12 weeks, Group C: 100,000 IU/every other week for 12 weeks. Total cumulative doses were: 588,000 IU, 600,000 IU, 600,000 IU. The treatment regimens corresponded to the highest doses allowed for cholecalciferol for the correction of vitamin D deficiency in adults in Italy. mean 25 (OH)D plasma levels significantly increased from baseline 13.5 ± 3.7 ng/mL to peak values of 81.0 ± 15.0 ng/mL in Group A, 63.6 ± 7.9 ng/mL in Group B and 59.4 ± 12 ng/mL in Group C. On day 28, all subjects showed 25 (OH)D levels ≥ 20 ng/mL and 93.1% had 25 (OH)D levels ≥ 30 ng/mL. On day 56 and 84, all subjects had 25 (OH)D levels ≥ 30 ng/mL. No serious adverse events occurred during the study. normalization of 25 (OH)D serum levels was quickly attained with all the studied regimens. A more refracted schedule provided a higher systemic 25 (OH)D exposure.

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:BackgroundEzetimibe is a new class of antihyperlipidemic agent indicated for the prevention of atherosclerosis disease and for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. Information on the pharmacokinetic profiles of ezetimibe tablet in healthy Chinese volunteers are lacking, and regulatory requirements necessitate a bioequivalence study of ezetimibe tablet versus Ezetrol® in China.MethodsA single-dose randomized, open-label, two-group, two-period crossover study was conducted in 59 healthy Chinese volunteers under fasting or fed conditions to assess the bioequivalence between two preparations. Eligible participants were randomly divided into fasted and fed groups. Blood samples were collected at specified time intervals, and the plasma concentrations of ezetimibe and ezetimibe glucuronide were determined by a validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method. PK and bioavailability parameters were estimated via non-compartmental methods. Adverse events were also recorded.ResultsFifty-nine healthy volunteers were enrolled in the study. The main pharmacokinetic parameters of total ezetimibe in the plasma of the ezetimibe tablet (10 mg) and the Ezetrol® (10 mg) after a single fasting administration: Cmax were (65.73 ± 47.14), (71.32 ± 51.98) ng·mL- 1; Tmax were 1.75, 1.25 h; T½ were (17.09 ± 13.22), (17.35 ± 12.14) h; AUC0-t were (643.34 ± 400.77), (668.49 ± 439.57) h·ng·mL- 1; AUC0-∞ were (706.36 ± 410.92), (734.23 ± 468.26) h·ng·mL- 1. The main pharmacokinetic parameters of total ezetimibe in plasma of ezetimibe tablet (10 mg) and Ezetrol® (10 mg) after a fed administration: Cmax were (83.38 ± 38.95), (84.74 ± 34.62) ng·mL- 1; Tmax were 2.50, 2.50 h; T½ were (22.56 ± 12.68), (19.80 ± 15.59) h; AUC0-t were (494.21 ± 208.65), (536.69 ± 209.11) h·ng·mL- 1; AUC0-∞ were (573.74 ± 252.74), (604.75 ± 247.13) h·ng·mL- 1. The main pharmacokinetic parameters Cmax, AUC0-t, and AUC0-∞ of the two drugs were analyzed by variance analysis after logarithmic transformation. The total ezetimibe under fasting state with 90% confidence intervals (CIs) were 85.29 ~ 97.19, 90.41% ~ 104.38%, and 90.81 ~ 106.05%; total ezetimibe in fed state were 86.36% ~ 109.17, 84.96% ~ 96.40, and 85.32% ~ 101.0%. The 90% CIs of the ratio of geometric means (GMRs) of Cmax, AUC0-t, and AUC0-∞ of Ezetrol® and ezetimibe tablet both fasting and fed conditions fell within the conventional bioequivalence criteria of 0.80-1.25. Both Cmax and AUC met the predetermined criteria for assuming bioequivalence. No severe adverse events were observed.ConclusionsThe test ezetimibe tablet and Ezetrol® were determined to be bioequivalent under both fasting and fed conditions in Chinese people.Trial registrationClinicaltrials, NCT05681247 (retrospectively registered in 11/01/ 2023).

Project description:Background and objectivesYLB113 is being developed as a biosimilar of the antitumor necrosis factor-alpha antagonist etanercept, which is approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other chronic immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. An open-label, crossover, pharmacokinetic study was conducted to compare the relative bioavailability and safety of YLB113 and the etanercept reference product (RP) Enbrel®.MethodsHealthy male subjects aged 18-50 years were randomized to receive a single subcutaneous dose of YLB113 in one period and the etanercept RP in another period. A washout period of 28 days separated the two treatment periods. Blood samples were collected for pharmacokinetic analysis predose and until 480 h postdose during both periods.ResultsOverall, 52 subjects were enrolled, including 51 subjects who completed the first period and 43 subjects who completed the second period. The 90% confidence intervals for the least squares means derived from an analysis of the log-transformed pharmacokinetic parameters maximum serum concentration (Cmax), area under the serum concentration-time curve (AUC) from 0 to the last measurable concentration (AUC(0-t)) and AUC from 0 to infinity (AUC(0-∞)) for etanercept were between the limits of 80 and 125%. Thus, YLB113 met the bioequivalence criterion. YLB113 and the etanercept RP were well tolerated, with 24 subjects reporting 53 adverse events, including 42 mild and 11 moderate events. Treatment-emergent adverse events were reported by 14 and 16 subjects following the administration of YLB113 and the etanercept RP, respectively.ConclusionsA single dose of YLB113 exhibited pharmacokinetic and safety profiles comparable with those of the etanercept RP in healthy adult male subjects. Therefore, YLB113 and the etanercept RP can be considered bioequivalent. These findings support the continued development of YLB113 for use in patients with RA.Jordan food & drug administration unique trial number31/Clinical/2018.

Project description:UnlabelledInhaled umeclidinium (UMEC) and the combination of inhaled UMEC with vilanterol (UMEC/VI) are approved maintenance treatments for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the US and EU. This was a randomized, open-label, three-period crossover, single- and repeat-dose study to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of inhaled UMEC/VI 62.5/25 μg (delivering 55/22 μg) and UMEC/VI 125/25 μg (delivering 113/22 μg) compared with their monotherapy components (UMEC 62.5 μg, UMEC 125 μg and, VI 25 μg [delivering 55, 113, and 22 μg, respectively]) in healthy Chinese subjects (n=20). UMEC and VI were rapidly absorbed following single and repeat dosing (time to maximum plasma concentration [tmax]: UMEC = 5 min; VI = 5 min). The median tlast was 2–4 h for UMEC and 1–2 h for VI following single doses of UMEC/VI and UMEC monotherapy (both doses). UMEC reached steady-state prior to Day 10; steady-state for VI could not be assessed. UMEC accumulation following repeat dosing was 11–34% based on Cmax and 19–59% based on area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to 2 h (AUC(0-2)). VI accumulation following repeat dosing was 25–66% based on Cmax and 17–43% based on AUC(0-2). The evidence was not sufficient to suggest that systemic exposure was substantially different between UMEC/VI combination therapy and the constituent monotherapies following single or repeat dosing. Following both single- and repeat-dose administration, the inter-subject coefficient of variation for all UMEC PK parameter estimates ranged from 12% to 165% for all treatments, indicating a wide range of variability in inhaled PK parameters. Twelve subjects experienced ≥1 adverse event (AE). Six subjects experienced ≥1 treatment-related AE; the most commonly reported treatment-related AE was chest discomfort (n=3 [15%]). No clinically important changes in vital signs or electrocardiogram parameters were reported. These data suggest that single- and repeat-dose administration of UMEC/VI combination therapy in healthy Chinese subjects did not result in substantial differences in systemic exposure compared with UMEC and VI as monotherapies.Trial registrationClinicaltrials.gov NCT01899638 NCT01899638.
