Pharmacokinetics of oral pridinol: Results of a randomized, crossover bioequivalence trial in healthy subjects.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To establish the relative bioavailability and to assess bioequivalence of oral, immediate-release tablets containing pridinol and to determine the pharmacokinetic properties of the compound.

Methods and materials

In this single-center, open-label, randomized, crossover trial, healthy male and female adult subjects received single doses of the test and reference product containing 4 mg pridinol mesylate (equivalent to 3 mg pridinol) each under fasting conditions. For pharmacokinetic evaluation, blood samples were withdrawn until 72 hours post dose. Pridinol in plasma was quantified by validated liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Adverse events (AEs) were analyzed descriptively.

Results

Of 34 randomized subjects, 33 completed all treatments. The determined pharmacokinetic parameters were quite similar for both products, with geometric means for maximum exposure (C_max) of 29.27 ng/mL (test) and 27.44 ng/mL (reference), reached after 1.00 and 0.90 hours (mean t_max), respectively. The extents of bioavailability (geometric mean AUC_0-tlast) were 187.93 h×ng/mL (test) and 183.51 h×ng/mL (reference). Elimination half-lives (T_1/2) ranged from 8.97 to 34.85 hours with comparable mean T_1/2 of 19.14 hours (test) and 18.85 hours (reference). The point estimates of the test/reference-adjusted geometric mean ratios of AUC_0-tlast, C_max (primary), and AUC_0-∞ (secondary) were 102.54% (90% confidence interval: 96.19 - 109.32%), 106.79% (99.00 - 115.20%), and 102.60% (96.20 - 109.43%), respectively. Overall, 23 subjects experienced 50 AEs; headache and dizziness (15 cases each) were most frequently reported.

Conclusion

Bioequivalence of both pridinol products was demonstrated in terms of rate and extent of absorption. Safety and tolerability were in accordance with the known AE profile of the drug substance.

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:BackgroundLevamlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, has been show act as a cardiovascular drug. To compare the pharmacokinetic parameters between levamlodipine (test formulation) at a single dose of 5 mg and amlodipine (reference formulation) at a single dose of 10 mg, the bioequivalence study was carried out.MethodsA single-dose randomized, open-label, two-period crossover study was designed in healthy Chinese subjects. 48 subjects were divided into fasted and fed groups equally. The subjects randomly received the test or reference formulations at the rate of 1:1. Following a 21-day washout period, the alternative formulations were received. The blood samples were collected at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168 h later. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was applied to determine the plasma concentrations of levamlodipine. Adverse events were recorded.ResultsThe 90% confidence intervals (CIs) of the ratio of geometric means (GMRs) of Cmax, AUC0-t, and AUC0-∞ under both fasted and fed conditions were within the prespecified bioequivalence limits between 80 ~ 125%. Under fasted conditions, 24 subjects were enrolled and completed the study. The mean Cmax was (2.70 ± 0.49) ng/mL, AUC0-t was (141.32 ± 36.24) ng × h/mL and AUC0-∞ was (157.14 ± 45.65) ng × h/mL after a single dose of 5 mg levamlodipine. The mean Cmax was (2.83 ± 0.52) ng/mL, AUC0-t was (153.62 ± 33.96) ng × h/mL and AUC0-∞ was (173.05 ± 41.78) ng × h/mL after a single dose of 10 mg amlodipine. Under fed conditions, 24 subjects were enrolled and completed the study. The mean Cmax was (2.73 ± 0.55) ng/mL, AUC0-t was (166.93 ± 49.96) ng × h/mL and AUC0-∞ was (190.99 ± 70.89) ng × h/mL after a single dose of 5 mg levamlodipine. The mean Cmax was (2.87 ± 0.81) ng/mL AUC0-t was (165.46 ± 43.58) ng × h/mL and AUC0-∞ was (189.51 ± 64.70) ng × h/mL after a single dose of 10 mg amlodipine. Serious adverse event was not observed.ConclusionThe trial confirmed that levamlodipine at a single dose of 5 mg and amlodipine at a single dose of 10 mg were bioequivalent under both fasted condition and fed condition.Trial registrationCinicaltrials, NCT04411875 .
