Project description:Nemonoxacin (TG-873870) is a novel nonfluorinated quinolone with potent broad-spectrum activity against Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and atypical pathogens, including vancomycin-nonsusceptible methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), quinolone-resistant MRSA, quinolone-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae, penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae, and erythromycin-resistant S. pneumoniae. This first-in-human study was aimed at assessing the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic properties of intravenous nemonoxacin in healthy Chinese volunteers. The study comprised a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose escalating safety and tolerability study in 92 subjects and a randomized, single-dose, open-label, 3-period Latin-square crossover pharmacokinetic study in 12 subjects. The study revealed that nemonoxacin infusion was well tolerated up to the maximum dose of 1,250 mg, and the acceptable infusion rates ranged from 0.42 to 5.56 mg/min. Drug-related adverse events (AEs) were mild, transient, and confined to local irritation at the injection site. The pharmacokinetic study revealed that after the administration of 250, 500, and 750 mg of intravenous nemonoxacin, the maximum plasma drug concentration (Cmax) values were 4.826 ?g/ml, 7.152 ?g/ml, and 11.029 ?g/ml, respectively. The corresponding values for the area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 72 hours (AUC0-72 h) were 17.05 ?g · h/ml, 39.30 ?g · h/ml, and 61.98 ?g · h/ml. The mean elimination half-life (t1/2) was 11 h, and the mean cumulative drug excretion rate within 72 h ranged from 64.93% to 77.17%. Volunteers treated with 250 to 750 mg nemonoxacin exhibited a linear dose-response relationship between the AUC0-72 h and AUC0-?. These findings provide further support for the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic properties of intravenous nemonoxacin.

Project description:This study was a phase 1, single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dosing, and dose-escalating study of intravenous SAL200. It is a new candidate drug for the treatment of antibiotic-resistant staphylococcal infections based on a recombinant form of the phage endolysin SAL-1. The study evaluated the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and tolerance among healthy male volunteers after the intravenous infusion of single ascending doses of SAL200 (0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, and 10 mg/kg of body weight). SAL200 was well tolerated, and no serious adverse events (AEs) were observed in this clinical study. Most AEs were mild, self-limiting, and transient. The AEs reported in more than three participants were fatigue, rigors, headache, and myalgia. No clinically significant values with respect to the findings of clinical chemistry, hematology, and coagulation analyses, urinalysis, vital signs, and physical examinations were observed, and no notable trends in our electrocardiogram (ECG) results for any tested dose were noticed. A greater-than-dose-proportional increase with regard to systemic exposure and the maximum serum concentration was observed when the SAL200 dose was increased from 0.1 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg. This investigation constitutes the first-in-human phase 1 study of an intravenously administered, phage endolysin-based drug.

Project description:This study evaluated the safety and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profiles of nemonoxacin in healthy Chinese volunteers following multiple-dose intravenous infusion once daily for 10 consecutive days. The study was composed of two stages. In the open-label stage, 500 mg or 750 mg of nemonoxacin (n = 12 each) was administered at an infusion rate of 5.56 mg/min. In the second stage, with a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled design, 500, 650, or 750 mg of nemonoxacin (n = 16 in each cohort; 12 subjects received the drug and the other 4 subjects received the placebo) was given at an infusion rate of 4.17 mg/min. The results showed that, in the first stage, the maximal nemonoxacin concentrations (mean ± SD) at steady state (Cmax_ss) were 9.60 ± 1.84 and 11.04 ± 2.18 μg/ml in the 500-mg and 750-mg cohorts, respectively; the areas under the concentration-time curve at steady state (AUC0-24_ss) were 44.03 ± 8.62 and 65.82 ± 10.78 μg · h/ml in the 500-mg and 750-mg cohorts, respectively. In the second stage, the nemonoxacin Cmax_ss values were 7.13 ± 1.47, 8.17 ± 1.76, and 9.96 ± 2.23 μg/ml in the 500-mg, 650-mg, and 750-mg cohorts, respectively; the AUC0-24_ss values were 40.46 ± 9.52, 54.17 ± 12.10, and 71.34 ± 17.79 μg · h/ml in the 500-mg, 650-mg, and 750-mg cohorts, respectively. No accumulation was found after the 10-day infusion with any regimen. The drug was well tolerated. A Monte Carlo simulation indicated that the cumulative fraction of response of any dosing regimen was nearly 100% against Streptococcus pneumoniae. The probability of target attainment of nemonoxacin therapy was >98% when the MIC of nemonoxacin against S. pneumoniae was ≤1 mg/liter. It is suggested that all of the studied intravenous nemonoxacin dosing regimens should have favorable clinical and microbiological efficacies in future clinical studies.

Project description:Finafloxacin is a novel fluoroquinolone exhibiting enhanced activity under acidic conditions and a broad-spectrum antibacterial profile. The present study assessed the pharmacokinetic properties and the safety and tolerability of finafloxacin following intravenous infusions. In this mixed-parallel-group, crossover study, healthy male and female volunteers received single ascending doses (18 volunteers, 200 to 1,000 mg) or multiple ascending doses (40 volunteers, 600 to 1,000 mg) of finafloxacin or placebo. Plasma and urine samples were collected by a dense sampling scheme to determine the pharmacokinetics of finafloxacin using a noncompartmental approach. Standard safety and tolerability data were documented. Finafloxacin had a volume of distribution of 90 to 127 liters (range) at steady state and 446 to 550 liters at pseudoequilibrium, indicating the elimination of a large fraction before pseudoequilibrium was reached. Areas under the concentration-time curves and maximum plasma concentrations (geometric means) increased slightly more than proportionally (6.73 to 45.9 ?g · h/ml and 2.56 to 20.2 ?g/ml, respectively), the terminal elimination half-life increased (10.6 to 17.1 h), and the urinary recovery decreased (44.2% to 31.7%) with increasing finafloxacin doses (single doses of 200 to 1,000 mg). The pharmacokinetic profiles suggested multiphasic elimination by both glomerular filtration and saturable tubular secretion. The values of the parameters were similar for single and multiple administrations. The coefficient of variation for the between-subject variability of exposure ranged from 10% (?600 mg) to 38% (>600 mg). Adverse events were mild and nonspecific, with no dependence of adverse events on dose or treatment (including placebo) being detected. Despite a relatively high interindividual variability at higher doses, the level of exposure following intravenous administration of finafloxacin appears to be predictable. Individual elimination processes should be evaluated in more detail. Finafloxacin exhibited a favorable safety and tolerability profile.

Project description:ObjectivesTwo randomized Phase I studies in separate populations of healthy adult volunteers investigated the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of daptomycin (Cubicin; Novartis Pharma AG, Basel, Switzerland) administered as a 2 min intravenous (iv) injection, relative to the currently licensed 30 min iv infusion.MethodsStudy 1 was an open-label, single-dose, two-period, crossover study in which each subject received 6 mg/kg daptomycin administered as a 30 min iv infusion (n = 15) and as a 2 min iv injection (n = 16). In Study 2, a single-blind, multiple-dose, parallel-group study, subjects received a once-daily 2 min iv injection of 6 mg/kg daptomycin (n = 12), 4 mg/kg daptomycin (n = 8) or placebo (n = 4) for 7 days. Single-dose pharmacokinetics were assessed at various timepoints up to 36 and 24 h post-dose in Study 1 and Study 2, respectively, and multiple-dose pharmacokinetics were assessed in Study 2 at day 7 for 48 h post-dose.ResultsIn Study 1, pharmacokinetic comparability between the two administration regimens was demonstrated by meeting the bioequivalence criteria for the exposure parameters, AUC(0-t), AUC(0-infinity) and C(max). In Study 2, time-invariant pharmacokinetic properties as well as dose-proportional pharmacokinetics were demonstrated for the daptomycin 2 min iv injection regimen. In both studies, daptomycin was well tolerated and the majority of treatment-emergent adverse events were of mild intensity and considered to be unrelated to daptomycin.ConclusionsThe similar pharmacokinetic and safety profiles of the two administration regimens suggest that the 2 min iv injection may be a convenient treatment option for both patients and healthcare professionals.

Project description:The aim was to investigate the pharmacokinetics of oral and iv melatonin in healthy volunteers.The study was performed as a cohort crossover study. The volunteers received either 10 mg oral melatonin or 10 mg intravenous melatonin on two separate study days. Blood samples were collected at different time points following oral administration and short iv infusion, respectively. Plasma melatonin concentrations were determined by RIA technique. Pharmacokinetic analyses were performed by "the method of residuals" and compartmental analysis. The pharmacokinetic variables: k a, t 1/2 absorption, t max, C max, t 1/2 elimination, AUC 0-?, and bioavailability were determined for oral melatonin. C max, t 1/2 elimination, V d, CL and AUC 0-? were determined for intravenous melatonin.Twelve male volunteers completed the study. Baseline melatonin plasma levels did not differ significantly between the study days (P?=?0.067). Mean (SD) t 1/2 absorption of oral melatonin was 6.0 (3.1) min. Mean t max was 40.8 (17.8) min with a median (IQR) C max of 3550.5 (2500.5-8057.5) pg ml(-1). Mean t 1/2 elimination was 53.7 (7.0) min. Median absolute bioavailability was 2.5 (1.7-4.7) %. Median C max after short iv infusion of melatonin was 389,875.0 (174,775.0-440,362.5) pg ml(-1). Mean t 1/2 elimination was 39.4 (3.6) min, mean V d 1.2 (0.6) l kg(-1) and mean CL 0.0218 (0.0102) l min(-1) kg(-1).This cohort crossover study estimated pharmacokinetics of oral and iv melatonin, respectively in healthy volunteers. Bioavailability of oral melatonin was only 3 %.Eudra-CT number: 2013-000205-23 (initial registration 27.03.2013). Clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT01923974 (initial registration 08.08.2013).

Project description:BackgroundWhile in vitro and animal studies have shown reduced cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A activity due to obesity, clinical studies in (morbidly) obese patients are scarce. As CYP3A activity may influence both clearance and oral bioavailability in a distinct manner, in this study the pharmacokinetics of the CYP3A substrate midazolam were evaluated after semi-simultaneous oral and intravenous administration in morbidly obese patients, and compared with healthy volunteers.MethodsTwenty morbidly obese patients [mean body weight 144 kg (range 112-186 kg) and mean body mass index 47 kg/m(2) (range 40-68 kg/m(2))] participated in the study. All patients received a midazolam 7.5 mg oral and 5 mg intravenous dose (separated by 159 ± 67 min) and per patient 22 samples over 11 h were collected. Data from 12 healthy volunteers were available for a population pharmacokinetic analysis using NONMEM(®).ResultsIn the three-compartment model in which oral absorption was characterized by a transit absorption model, population mean clearance (relative standard error %) was similar [0.36 (4 %) L/min], while oral bioavailability was 60 % (13 %) in morbidly obese patients versus 28 % (7 %) in healthy volunteers (P < 0.001). Central and peripheral volumes of distribution increased substantially with body weight (both P < 0.001) and absorption rate (transit rate constant) was lower in morbidly obese patients [0.057 (5 %) vs. 0.130 (14 %) min(-1), P < 0.001].ConclusionsIn morbidly obese patients, systemic clearance of midazolam is unchanged, while oral bioavailability is increased. Given the large increase in volumes of distribution, dose adaptations for intravenous midazolam should be considered. Further research should elucidate the exact physiological changes at intestinal and hepatic level contributing to these findings.

Project description:Objectives: Pertuzumab is a monoclonal antibody for the treatment of breast cancer. The aim of this study was to compare the pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity and safety of the test preparation SHR-1309 injecta and the reference preparation Perjeta® in healthy Chinese male subjects. Methods: In this randomized, double-blind, single dose, two-way, parallel bioequivalence trial, a total of 80 qualified Chinese male subjects were selected and randomly divided into two groups. Each subject was intravenously injected with SHR-1309 or Perjeta®. Blood samples were collected at 21 different time points for pharmacokinetic analysis. In addition, immunogenicity was assessed at five different time points. The safety of the medication was monitored throughout the whole trial. Results: Cmax and AUC0-t were the primary pharmacokinetic parameters. Under a 90% confidence interval, their geometric mean ratios were 98.30 and 88.41% for SHR-1309 injection and Perjeta®, respectively. The geometric mean ratio of secondary pharmacokinetic parameters AUC0-∞ was 88.58%. These evaluation indexes are in the standard range of 80-125%, so SHR-1309 can be considered bioequivalent to Perjeta®. After 1,680 h (day 70) of administration, the two groups had 12 and 13 subjects who produced antidrug antibody (ADA), respectively. The occurrence time and proportion of ADA in SHR-1309 and Perjeta® were similar between subjects, and they had similar immunogenicity. During the entire trial period, there were 71 drug-related adverse reactions in 29 subjects who received SHR-1309 and 61 drug-related adverse reactions in 32 subjects who received Perjeta®. The incidence of adverse reactions between the two drugs was similar. Conclusion: The pharmacokinetic parameters, immunogenicity and safety of the biosimilar SHR-1309 injection produced by Shanghai Hengrui Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. were similar to the original drug Perjeta® produced by Roche Pharma AG. The two drugs met the bioequivalence evaluation criteria. Therefore, SHR-1309 is bioequivalent to Perjeta®.

Project description:To investigate the population pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of bivalirudin, a synthetic bivalent direct thrombin inhibitor, in young healthy Chinese subjects.Thirty-six young healthy volunteers were randomly assigned into 4 groups received bivalirudin 0.5 mg/kg, 0.75 mg/kg, and 1.05 mg/kg intravenous bolus, 0.75 mg/kg intravenous bolus followed by 1.75 mg/kg intravenous infusion per hour for 4 h. Blood samples were collected to measure bivalirudin plasma concentration and activated clotting time (ACT). Population PK-PD analysis was performed using the nonlinear mixed-effects model software NONMEM. The final models were validated with bootstrap and prediction-corrected visual predictive check (pcVPC) approaches.The final PK model was a two-compartment model without covariates. The typical PK population values of clearance (CL), apparent distribution volume of the central-compartment (V(1)), inter-compartmental clearance (Q) and apparent distribution volume of the peripheral compartment (V(2)) were 0.323 L·h(-1)·kg(-1), 0.086 L/kg, 0.0957 L·h(-1)·kg(-1), and 0.0554 L/kg, respectively. The inter-individual variabilities of these parameters were 14.8%, 24.2%, fixed to 0% and 15.6%, respectively. The final PK-PD model was a sigmoid E(max) model without the Hill coefficient. In this model, a covariate, red blood cell count (RBC(*)), had a significant effect on the EC(50) value. The typical PD population values of maximum effect (E(max)), EC(50), baseline ACT value (E(0)) and the coefficient of RBC(*) on EC(50) were 318 s, 2.44 mg/L, 134 s and 1.70, respectively. The inter-individual variabilities of E(max), EC(50), and E(0) were 6.80%, 46.4%, and 4.10%, respectively.Population PK-PD models of bivalirudin in healthy young Chinese subjects have been developed, which may provide a reference for future use of bivalirudin in China.

Project description:To compare the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety and tolerability of subcutaneous (SC) and intravenous anifrolumab, an anti-type I interferon receptor monoclonal antibody in development for SLE, in healthy volunteers.In this Phase I randomised, placebo-controlled study, 30 adults were assigned to three treatment cohorts (anifrolumab 300?mg SC (n=6), anifrolumab 300?mg intravenous (n=6), anifrolumab 600?mg SC (n=6)) and placebo (n=4/cohort). Serial blood samples were collected up to Day 84 to measure anifrolumab concentrations and antidrug antibodies (ADAs). PK parameters were estimated by noncompartmental analysis.Maximum serum concentrations in SC cohorts occurred after 4-7 days. Anifrolumab serum concentrations were below the limit of detection in all individuals by Day 84. Exposure to SC anifrolumab increased dose proportionally from 300?mg to 600?mg based on area under the serum concentration-time curve. Anifrolumab 300?mg SC exposure reached 87% of the intravenous exposure. Anifrolumab 300?mg SC and placebo administration elicited minimal injection-site reactions. Transient injection-site induration occurred in five of six individuals after anifrolumab 600?mg SC and two of four individuals after placebo. Transient, mild to moderate injection-site induration and pruritus occurred simultaneously in two of six individuals after anifrolumab 600?mg SC. Adverse events were reported by 50% (n=9) of anifrolumab-treated individuals and 33% (n=4) of placebo-treated individuals. ADAs were detected in only one individual in the anifrolumab 300-mg intravenous group at the Day 84 assessment.Anifrolumab 300-mg SC exposure was 87% of intravenous administration, with single SC anifrolumab administrations well tolerated in healthy volunteers.
