Bioequivalence of Metformin in Ertugliflozin/Metformin Fixed-Dose Combination Tablets to Canadian-Sourced Metformin Coadministered With Ertugliflozin Under Fasted and Fed States.

ABSTRACT: A fixed-dose combination (FDC) product of a selective sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor ertugliflozin and immediate-release metformin is approved for type 2 diabetes mellitus in the United States, European Union countries, Canada, and other countries. Two studies were conducted to assess the bioequivalence of metformin in the ertugliflozin/metformin FDC tablets to the corresponding doses of Canadian-sourced metformin (Glucophage) coadministered with ertugliflozin. Both studies were phase 1 randomized, open-label, 2-period, single-dose crossover studies (n = 32) in which healthy subjects received an ertugliflozin/metformin FDC tablet (2.5/500 mg or 7.5/850 mg) and the respective doses of the individual components (ertugliflozin coadministered with Canadian-sourced metformin) under fasted (n = 18) or fed (n = 14) conditions. Blood samples were collected 72 hours postdose to determine metformin concentrations. The 90% confidence intervals were within the bioequivalence acceptance criteria for the adjusted geometric mean ratios (FDC:coadministered) for metformin area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to time t, where t is the last point with a measurable concentration and peak observed plasma concentration for both dose strengths under fasted and fed conditions. All study medications were well tolerated. Bioequivalence was demonstrated for the metformin component of the ertugliflozin/metformin FDC tablets and the corresponding doses of the Canadian-sourced metformin coadministered with ertugliflozin.

Project description:Purpose:This study compares the pharmacokinetic and safety profiles between a new generic and a branded reference formulation of amitriptyline hydrochloride tablets, and assesses the bioequivalence of the two products in healthy Chinese volunteers to obtain sufficient evidence for the marketing approval of the generic drug. Materials and Methods:A randomized, open-label, two-period crossover study (clinicaltrials.gov, NCT03646526) was conducted under both fasting and fed conditions in healthy Chinese volunteers (24 subjects/condition). Eligible subjects randomly received a single 25 mg dose of either the test or the reference formulation, followed by a 3-week washout period. Blood samples were collected until 144 h following administration. The pharmacokinetic parameters were acquired based on the concentration-time profiles, including the areas under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC0-t, AUC0-?), the peak plasma concentration (Cmax), the time to achieve Cmax (Tmax), and the elimination half-life (t1/2). The geometric mean ratios (GMRs) and the corresponding 90% confidence intervals (CIs) of amitriptyline were acquired for bioequivalence analysis, and values of these parameters for nortriptyline were used for comparison of therapeutic outcomes. Safety assessments included laboratory tests, physical examination, vital signs, and incidence of adverse events (AEs). Results:The values of t1/2 and Tmax for amitriptyline were not significantly different between the test and reference products under both fasting and fed conditions (P > 0.05). The GMRs of Cmax, AUC0-t, and AUC0-? between the two products, and corresponding 90% CIs, were all within the range of 80% to 125% under both fasting and fed conditions. The test and reference products were well tolerated and did not elicit serious adverse events. Conclusion:This study demonstrated that the generic and reference products were well tolerated by the subjects and bioequivalent, according to the rate and extent of the drug absorption.

Project description:Purpose: The aims of this study was to investigate the mutual pharmacokinetic interactions between steady-state atorvastatin and metformin and the effect of food on the fixed-dose combined (FDC) tablet of atorvastatin and metformin extended release (XR). Subjects and methods: Study 1, an open-labeled, fixed sequence, multiple-dose pharmacokinetic drug-drug interaction study, was divided into 2 parts. Atorvastatin (40 mg) or metformin (1,000 mg) XR tablets were administered once daily via mono- or co-therapy for 7 days. Plasma levels of atorvastatin and 2-OH-atorvastatin, were quantitatively determined for 36 h in part A (n=50) while metformin plasma concentration was measured up to 24 h in part B (n=16) after the last dosing. Study 2, a randomized, open-labeled, single-dose, two-treatment, two-period, two-sequence crossover study, involved 27 healthy subjects to investigate the impact of food intake on the pharmacokinetics of a combined atorvastatin/metformin XR 20/500 mg (CJ-30056 20/500 mg) tablet. Results: After multiple doses of mono- or co-therapy of atorvastatin (40 mg) and metformin (1,000 mg) XR, the 90% confidence intervals (CIs) of the geometric mean ratios (GMRs) for the peak plasma concentration at steady state (Cmax,ss) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve during the dosing interval at steady state (AUCτ,ss) were 1.07 (0.94-1.22) and 1.05 (0.99-1.10) for atorvastatin, 1.06 (0.96-1.16) and 1.16 (1.10-1.21) for 2-OH-atorvastatin, and 1.00 (0.86-1.18) and 0.99 (0.87-1.13) for metformin, respectively. Food delayed time to reach maximum concentration (tmax), decreased atorvastatin Cmax by 32% with a GMR (90% CI) of 0.68 (0.59-0.78), and increased metformin AUCt by 56% with a GMR (90% CI) of 1.56 (1.43-1.69). Conclusion: No clinically relevant pharmacokinetic interaction was seen when atorvastatin was co-administered with metformin. Food appeared to change the absorption of atorvastatin and metformin from an FDC formulation. These alterations were in accordance with those described with the single reference drugs when ingested with food.
