Comparative Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics of Fixed-Dose Combination of Esomeprazole and Calcium Carbonate (AD-206) to the Conventional Esomeprazole

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are used for the treatment of acid-related disorders. Demands for enhanced stability and faster onset led to the development of AD-206, a fixed-dose combination of a PPI (esomeprazole) with an antacid salt (calcium carbonate). This study compared the pharmacokinetics (PKs) and pharmacodynamics (PDs) of AD-206 (Addpharma) with conventional esomeprazole (Nexium®, AstraZeneca).

Materials and Methods

A randomized, open-label, two-treatment, two-sequence crossover study was conducted with 2 different doses of esomeprazole at 20 and 40 mg with a fixed calcium carbonate dose of 600 mg in AD-206. Forty-four subjects were included in each dose group and randomly received either AD-206 or the conventional esomeprazole for 7 consecutive days in each period. After a single- and multiple-dose, blood samples for the PK analysis were analyzed, and 24-hour intragastric pH monitoring was conducted.

Results

The systemic exposure of esomeprazole after a multiple-dose of AD-206 was similar to that of the conventional esomeprazole in both doses, but the time to reach the peak concentration was faster in AD-206. The percentage decrease from baseline in the integrated gastric acidity for a 24-hour interval after the dose was not significantly different between the AD-206 and the conventional esomeprazole after a single- and multiple-dose for both doses, and the time to reach pH 4 was faster for AD-206.

Conclusion

AD-206 showed a similar systemic exposure and suppression of gastric acid secretion after a multiple-dose compared to the conventional esomeprazole.

Project description:HCP1004 is a newly developed fixed-dose combination of naproxen (500 mg) and esomeprazole strontium (20 mg) that is used in the treatment of rheumatic diseases and can reduce the risk of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-associated ulcers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of HCP1004 compared to VIMOVO(®) (a marketed fixed-dose combination of naproxen and esomeprazole magnesium).An open-label, randomized, two-treatment, two-sequence crossover, single-dose clinical study was conducted in 70 healthy volunteers. In each period, a reference (VIMOVO(®)) or test (HCP1004) drug was administered orally, and serial blood samples for PK analysis were collected up to 72 hours after dosing. To evaluate the PK profiles, the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and the area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to the last measurable time (AUC0-t) were estimated using a noncompartmental method. Safety profiles were evaluated throughout the study.Sixty-six of the 70 subjects completed the study. The Cmax (mean ± standard deviation) and AUC0-t (mean ± standard deviation) for naproxen in HCP1004 were 61.67 ± 15.16 µg/mL and 1,206.52 ± 166.46 h · µg/mL, respectively; in VIMOVO(®); these values were 61.85 ± 14.54 µg/mL and 1,211.44 ± 170.01 h · µg/mL, respectively. The Cmax and AUC0-t for esomeprazole in HCP1004 were 658.21 ± 510.91 ng/mL and 1,109.11 ± 1,111.59 h · ng/mL, respectively; for VIMOVO(®), these values were 595.09 ± 364.23 ng/mL and 1,015.12 ± 952.98 h · ng/mL, respectively. The geometric mean ratios and 90% confidence intervals (CIs) (HCP1004 to VIMOVO(®)) of the Cmax and AUC0-t of naproxen were 0.99 (0.94-1.06) and 1.00 (0.98-1.01), respectively. For esomeprazole, the geometric mean ratios (90% CI) for the Cmax and AUC0-t were 0.99 (0.82-1.18) and 1.04 (0.91-1.18), respectively. The overall results of the safety assessment showed no clinically significant issues for either treatment.The PK of HCP1004 500/20 mg was comparable to that of VIMOVO(®) 500/20 mg for both naproxen and esomeprazole after a single oral dose. Both drugs were well-tolerated without any safety issues.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends combinations of an artemisinin derivative plus an anti-malarial drug of longer half-life as treatment options for uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum infections. In Africa, artesunate-mefloquine (ASMQ) is an infrequently used artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) because of perceived poor tolerance to mefloquine. However, the WHO has recommended reconsideration of the use of ASMQ in Africa. In this large clinical study, the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a fixed dose combination of ASMQ was investigated in an African paediatric population to support dosing recommendations used in Southeast Asia and South America. METHODS:Among the 472 paediatric patients aged 6-59 months from six African centres included in the large clinical trial, a subset of 50 Kenyan children underwent intensive sampling to develop AS, its metabolite dihydroartemisinin (DHA) and MQ PK models. The final MQ PK model was validated using sparse data collected in the remaining participants (NONMEM®). The doses were one or two tablets containing 25/55 mg AS/MQ administered once a day for 3 days according to patients' age. A sensitive LC-MS/MS method was used to quantify AS, DHA and MQ concentrations in plasma. An attempt was made to investigate the relationship between the absence/presence of malaria recrudescence and MQ area under the curve (AUC) using logistic regression. RESULTS:AS/DHA concentration-time profiles were best described using a one-compartment model for both compounds with irreversible AS conversion into DHA. AS/DHA PK were characterized by a significant degree of variability. Body weight affected DHA PK parameters. MQ PK was characterized by a two-compartment model and a large degree of variability. Allometric scaling of MQ clearances and volumes of distribution was used to depict the relationship between MQ PK and body weight. No association was found between the model predicted AUC and appearance of recrudescence. CONCLUSIONS:The population pharmacokinetic models developed for both AS/DHA and MQ showed a large variability in drug exposure in the investigated African paediatric population. The largest contributor to this variability was body weight, which is accommodated for by the ASMQ fixed dose combination (FDC) dosing recommendation. Besides body weight considerations, there is no indication that the dosage should be modified in children with malaria compared to adults.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Activation of hypnozoites of vivax malaria causes multiple clinical relapses, which contribute to the Plasmodium vivax burden and continuing transmission. Artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) is effective against blood-stage P. vivax but requires co-administration with primaquine to achieve radical cure. The therapeutic efficacy of primaquine depends on the generation of a therapeutically active metabolite via cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6). Impaired CYP2D6 metabolism has been associated with primaquine treatment failure. This study investigated the association between impaired CYP2D6 genotypes, drug-exposure to the long-acting ACT component (schizonticidal drugs) and tolerance and efficacy. METHODS:Adult patients with acute vivax malaria were enrolled in a recently completed trial and treated with artesunate-mefloquine, chloroquine or artemether-lumefantrine. All received concomitant primaquine (0.5 mg/kg/day for 7-9 days). The association between efficacy and safety and drug exposure was explored using area-under-the-curve (AUC) and half-life (t1/2) estimates obtained by non-compartmental analysis of the long half-life drugs. Parasite recurrences by day 63 were categorized as related relapses or re-infections/unrelated hypnozoite activation by genotyping three microsatellite loci and two polymorphic loci of merozoite surface antigen-1. The CYP2D6 genotype was identified with Taqman assays by real-time PCR to 9 polymorphisms (8 SNPs and one deletion). Impaired CYP2D6 activity was inferred using the Activity Score System. RESULTS:Most recurrences in the ASMQ (67%), CQ (80%) and AL (85%) groups were considered related relapses. Eight of nine (88.9%) of the patients with impaired CYP2D6 activity relapsed with related parasite compared to 18/25 (72%) with normal activity (RR?=?1.23, 0.88; 1.72, p?=?0.40). There were no associations between the measured PK parameters and recurrence. Patients with longer chloroquine half-lives had more pruritus (RR?=?1.09, 1.03; 1.14, p?=?0.001). Higher CQ AUCs were associated with reduced falls in haemoglobin by day 14 (Coef - 0.02, - 0.005; - 0.03, p?=?0.01). All regimens were well tolerated. CONCLUSION:Genotyping of P. vivax showed that activation of related (homologous) hypnozoites was the most frequent cause of recurrence. The high proportion of the impaired CYP2D6 activity among patients with recurrent infections suggests that slow primaquine metabolism might influence related relapse rates in Brazil among patients receiving primaquine for radical cure, although confirmatory studies are needed. There was no association between drug exposure of the long-acting ACT component (schizonticidal drugs) and risk of related relapse. ACT was well tolerated. These results provide further re-assurance about the safety and efficacy of ACT when combined with short course primaquine to treat uncomplicated malaria vivax in Brazil.
