Comparative pharmacokinetics between two tablets of tramadol 37.5 mg/acetaminophen 325 mg and one tablet of tramadol 75 mg/acetaminophen 650 mg for extended-release fixed-dose combination.


ABSTRACT: An extended-release (ER) fixed-dose combination (FDC) of tramadol 37.5 mg/acetaminophen 325 mg was developed due to the demand for varying dosages. This study aimed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PKs) for two tablets of the new developed tramadol 37.5 mg/acetaminophen 325 mg ER FDC (DW-0920, Wontran Semi ER®) as test formulation compared to one tablet of the tramadol 75 mg/acetaminophen 650 mg ER FDC (DW-0919, Wontran ER®) as reference formulation. A randomized, open-label, 2-way crossover study was conducted in 30 healthy subjects. Subjects were orally administered one of 2 formulations followed by an alternate formulation with a 7-day washout period. Blood samples were collected up to 36 hours post-dose. Plasma concentrations of tramadol and acetaminophen were determined using a validated high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometric method. The geometric mean ratios (GMRs) and their 90% confidence intervals (90% CIs) of test formulation to reference formulation were calculated for the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from zero to the last measurable time point (AUClast). The PK profiles of 2 formulations were comparable. The GMRs (90% CI) of Cmax and AUClast for tramadol were 1.086 (1.047-1.127) and 1.008 (0.975-1.042), respectively. The corresponding values for acetaminophen were 0.956 (0.897-1.019) and 0.986 (0.961-1.011), respectively. All the values were within the bioequivalence range of 0.80-1.25. Two tablets of DW-0920 were comparable to one tablet of DW-0919. The DW-0920 may be used for optimal pharmacotherapy for pain control with a lower dose.
