Project description:Objectives/hypothesisSpasmodic dysphonia (SD) is a task-specific laryngeal dystonia that affects speech production. Co-occurring voice tremor (VT) often complicates the diagnosis and clinical management of SD. Treatment of SD and VT is largely limited to botulinum toxin injections into laryngeal musculature; other pharmacological options are not sufficiently developed.Study designOpen-label study.MethodsWe conducted an open-label study in 23 SD and 22 SD/VT patients to examine the effects of sodium oxybate (Xyrem), an oral agent with therapeutic effects similar to those of alcohol in these patients. Blinded randomized analysis of voice and speech samples assessed symptom improvement before and after drug administration.ResultsSodium oxybate significantly improved voice symptoms (P = .001) primarily by reducing the number of SD-characteristic voice breaks and severity of VT. Sodium oxybate further showed a trend for improving VT symptoms (P = .03) in a subset of patients who received successful botulinum toxin injections for the management of their SD symptoms. The drug's effects were observed approximately 30 to 40 minutes after its intake and lasted about 3.5 to 4 hours.ConclusionsOur study demonstrated that sodium oxybate reduced voice symptoms in 82.2% of alcohol-responsive SD patients both with and without co-occurring VT. Our findings suggest that the therapeutic mechanism of sodium oxybate in SD and SD/VT may be linked to that of alcohol, and as such, sodium oxybate might be beneficial for alcohol-responsive SD and SD/VT patients.Level of evidence4 Laryngoscope, 127:1402-1407, 2017.

Project description:Daprodustat is a prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor that stimulates erythropoiesis in a manner similar to the natural response to hypoxia, whereby inhibition of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) prolyl-4-hydroxylases by daprodustat ultimately results in increased levels of HIF-responsive genes. Daprodustat is under development as an emerging new class of agents for the treatment of anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This was a single-center, single-dose, open-label, randomized, 2-way crossover study in healthy Japanese male participants consisting of 2 parts. The primary objective was to evaluate the bioequivalence (BE) between daprodustat tablet strengths (part 1) and to evaluate the food effect on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of daprodustat (part 2). A total of 64 healthy Japanese male participants were enrolled; 52 participants were included in part 1 and 12 in part 2. BE was demonstrated between the daprodustat 2-mg tablet and the daprodustat 4-mg tablet. A standard CKD meal did not have a large effect on the PK parameters of daprodustat after a single oral dose of daprodustat 4 mg. Administration of single oral doses of daprodustat 4 mg was generally well tolerated in the healthy Japanese participants, and no new safety signals were identified without regard to food.

Project description:Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the pharmacokinetics (PK), bioequivalence and safety of generic sunitinib and its original product Sutent® in healthy Chinese subjects through a phase-I clinical trial. Methods: The study selected two groups of 24 healthy Chinese subjects in a 1:1 ratio through random allocation. Each participant received either 12.5 mg of sunitinib or Sutent® per cycle. A total of 15 different time points were employed for blood sample collection during each cycle. Furthermore, a comprehensive assessment of the drugs' safety was consistently maintained throughout the trial. Results: The average adjusted geometric mean ratios (GMR) (90% CI) for the primary PK parameters Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ were 97.04% (93.06%-101.19%), 98.45% (93.27%-103.91%) and 98.22% (93.15%-103.56%), respectively. The adjusted GMRs for essential pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters all met the requirements for bioequivalence, with values within the acceptable range of 80%-125%. In addition, the two drugs showed comparable results for the other PK parameters. These results indicate that the two drugs were bioequivalent. Furthermore, both drugs showed well safety. Conclusion: The research results proved that the PK and safety profiles of sunitinib in healthy Chinese subjects were comparable to those of Sutent®. These results advocate the clinical application of generic sunitinib as a potential alternative to original product Sutent® in the treatment of certain medical conditions.

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:BackgroundThe safety and efficacy of low-sodium oxybate (LXB; Xywav®) were established in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 withdrawal study in adults with narcolepsy with cataplexy; however, the longer-term safety profile has not yet been examined. The aim of the current analysis was to assess the time of onset and duration of common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) for LXB throughout the open-label optimized treatment and titration period (OLOTTP) and the stable dose period (SDP) portions of the main study, and the subsequent 24-week open-label extension (OLE).MethodsIn a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal trial of LXB, TEAEs were evaluated during the 12-week OLOTTP, the 2-week SDP, and the subsequent 24-week OLE. Eligible participants were aged 18-70 years with a diagnosis of narcolepsy with cataplexy. At study entry, participants were taking sodium oxybate (SXB) alone, SXB with other anticataplectics, other anticataplectics alone, or were anticataplectic-treatment naive; other anticataplectics were tapered and discontinued during the OLOTTP. All participants initiated LXB during week 1 of the OLOTTP, and their dose was individually titrated based on safety and efficacy. Following the main study period, participants entered the OLE after rescreening (re-entry) after discontinuing LXB treatment or directly after completing the main study (rollover). TEAEs were assessed in the safety population as of database lock. TEAE duration was defined as time from TEAE start date to end date (or end of SDP or OLE, if end date was unrecorded).ResultsThe safety population included 201 participants (SXB alone, n = 52; SXB with other anticataplectics, n = 23; other anticataplectics alone, n = 36; anticataplectic-treatment naive, n = 90). During the OLOTTP/SDP, headache was the most common LXB-emergent TEAE overall (71 events; n = 42 (21%); median (range) duration = 1 (1-147) day), followed by nausea (31 events; n = 26 (13%); median (range) duration = 9 (1-54) days) and dizziness (26 events; n = 21 (10%); median (range) duration = 7 (1-117) days). Among the 74 participants in the OLE, the most commonly reported TEAEs were headache (14 events; n = 7, 9%; peak incidence month 3 (n = 5/72); median (range) duration = 1 (1‒25) day), dizziness (8 events; n = 5, 7%; peak incidence month 1 (n = 3/74); median (range) duration = 26 (1‒181) days), and nasopharyngitis (6 events; n = 6, 8%; peak incidence month 6 (n = 2/69); median (range) duration = 9 (1‒24) days). Overall, study discontinuations attributed to TEAEs were 21/65 (32%) during the OLOTTP and SDP and 3/7 (43%) during the OLE.ConclusionsIn this long-term analysis, the safety and tolerability profile of LXB was generally consistent with the known safety profile of SXB. During the OLOTTP and SDP, most TEAEs occurred early and were generally of short duration. TEAE prevalence decreased throughout the duration of the OLE; the most common TEAEs reported during the OLE were headache, dizziness, and nasopharyngitis.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT03030599 (25 January 2017).

Project description:Levocetirizine is classified as a second-generation antihistamine. Levocetirizine is available for the treatment of allergic disorders such as allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria. This was a single-center, single-dose, open-label, randomized, 2-way crossover study in healthy Japanese male subjects consisting of 2 parts. Part 1 compared the bioavailability of levocetirizine oral disintegrating tablet (ODT) and levocetirizine immediate-release tablet (IRT) taken with water in the fasted state in 24 subjects; all subjects completed this part of the trial. In part 2, the bioavailability of levocetirizine ODT without water was compared with that of levocetirizine IRT with water in the fasted state in 48 subjects; 47 subjects completed this part of the trial. Bioequivalence was demonstrated between levocetirizine IRT 5 mg and ODT 5 mg. The safety profiles were generally similar between levocetirizine ODT and levocetirizine IRT, with no serious adverse events, deaths, or adverse events leading to withdrawal reported during the study.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:To investigate the absolute bioavailability of esaxerenone and the effects of food on its pharmacokinetics (PK) after a single oral dose in healthy Japanese subjects. METHODS:Twenty-four Japanese males aged 20-45 years were randomised to six groups (each n = 4) in this single-centre, open-label, three-way, three-period crossover study. Esaxerenone (5 mg) was administered in the fasting state as a single oral dose, single intravenous infusion over 1 h, or in the postprandial state as a single oral dose. Plasma samples were taken before and during the 96 h after drug administration. Drug concentrations were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. PK parameters were calculated using noncompartmental analysis, and safety was assessed. RESULTS:After fasting intravenous administration, total body clearance was 3.69 L h-1 and volume of distribution was 92.7 L. The plasma concentration-time profile of esaxerenone was similar after fasting and postprandial administration. Absolute bioavailability of a single oral 5-mg dose of esaxerenone was 89.0% in the fasting state and 90.8% postprandially. Point estimates (1.010 and 1.019, respectively) and 90% confidence intervals for geometric least squares mean peak plasma concentrations and area under the plasma concentration-time curve ratios after postprandial versus fasting oral esaxerenone were within the prespecified range (0.80, 1.25). No severe adverse events occurred throughout the study. CONCLUSIONS:Esaxerenone has a high absolute bioavailability of approximately 90% and food has no effect on esaxerenone PK after a single oral dose of 5 mg in healthy Japanese subjects. Additionally, no safety concerns were identified. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION:JapicCTI No. 163452. FUNDING:Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd.

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.

Project description:The aim of this study was to evaluate the bioequivalence of a generic product 70 mg alendronate sodium tablets with the reference product Fosamax® 70 mg tablet.A single-center, open-label, randomized, three-period, three-sequence, reference-replicated crossover study was performed in 36 healthy Chinese male volunteers under fasting conditions. In each study period, the volunteers received a single oral dose of the generic or reference product (70 mg). Blood samples were collected at pre-dose and up to 8 h after administration. The bioequivalence of the generic product to the reference product was assessed using the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) reference-scaled average bioequivalence (RSABE) methods.The average maximum concentrations (Cmax) of alendronic acid were 64.78±43.76, 56.62±31.95, and 60.15±37.12 ng/mL after the single dose of the generic product and the first and second doses of the reference product, respectively. The areas under the plasma concentration-time curves from time 0 to the last timepoint (AUC0-t ) were 150.36±82.90, 148.15±85.97, and 167.11±110.87 h?ng/mL, respectively. Reference scaling was used because the within-subject standard deviations of the reference product (sWR ) for Cmax and AUC0-t were all higher than the cutoff value of 0.294. The 95% upper confidence bounds were -0.16 and -0.17 for Cmax and AUC0-t , respectively, and the point estimates for the generic/reference product ratio were 1.08 and 1.00, which satisfied the RSABE acceptance criteria of the FDA. The 90% CIs for Cmax and AUC0-t were 90.35%-129.04% and 85.31%-117.15%, respectively, which were within the limits of the EMA for the bioequivalence of 69.84%-143.19% and 80.00%-125.00%.The generic product was bioequivalent to the reference product in terms of the rate and extent of alendronate absorption after a single 70 mg oral dose under fasting conditions.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF) is usually administered by injection, and its oral administration in a clinical setting has been not yet reported. Here we demonstrate the bioavailability of orally administered rhGM-CSF in healthy volunteers. The rhGM-CSF was expressed in Bombyx mori expression system (BmrhGM-CSF). METHODS AND FINDINGS: Using a single-dose, randomized, open-label, two-period crossover clinical trial design, 19 healthy volunteers were orally administered with BmrhGM-CSF (8 microg/kg) and subcutaneously injected with rhGM-CSF (3.75 microg/kg) respectively. Serum samples were drawn at 0.0h, 0.5h ,0.75h,1.0h,1.5h,2.0h ,3.0h,4.0h,5.0h,6.0h,8.0h,10.0h and 12.0h after administrations. The hGM-CSF serum concentrations were determined by ELISA. The AUC was calculated using the trapezoid method. The relative bioavailability of BmrhGM-CSF was determined according to the AUC ratio of both orally administered and subcutaneously injected rhGM-CSF. Three volunteers were randomly selected from 15 orally administrated subjects with ELISA detectable values. Their serum samples at the 0.0h, 1.0h, 2.0h, 3.0h and 4.0h after the administrations were analyzed by Q-Trap MS/MS TOF. The different peaks were revealed by the spectrogram profile comparison of the 1.0h, 2.0h, 3.0h and 4.0h samples with that of the 0.0h sample, and further analyzed using both Enhanced Product Ion (EPI) scanning and Peptide Mass Fingerprinting Analysis. The rhGM-CSF was detected in the serum samples from 15 of 19 volunteers administrated with BmrhGM-CSF. Its bioavailability was observed at an average of 1.0%, with the highest of 3.1%. The rhGM-CSF peptide sequences in the serum samples were detected by MS analysis, and their sizes ranging from 2,039 to 7,336 Da. CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrated that the oral administered BmrhGM-CSF was absorbed into the blood. This study provides an approach for an oral administration of rhGM-CSF protein in clinical settings. TRIAL REGISTRATION: www.chictr.orgChiCTR-TRC-00000107.
