Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Tolerability of Vortioxetine Following Single- and Multiple-Dose Administration in Healthy Japanese Adults.

ABSTRACT: Three phase 1 randomized single-center studies assessed the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of vortioxetine after single- and multiple-dose administration in healthy Japanese adults. Study 1 assessed the pharmacokinetics of vortioxetine after administration of single rising doses to men and multiple doses to men and women; study 2 evaluated vortioxetine pharmacokinetics in elderly adults; and study 3 assessed food effects on vortioxetine pharmacokinetics in healthy men. The primary end points included pharmacokinetic parameters of vortioxetine and incidence of adverse events (AEs). Across all studies, 130 participants were randomized and 128 participants completed the studies. Vortioxetine was absorbed and eliminated from plasma slowly, and exposure to vortioxetine increased in an almost dose-proportional manner. No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of vortioxetine or its metabolites were observed between the sexes in young and elderly adults. Study 3 demonstrated that vortioxetine and its metabolites had similar pharmacokinetics when administered in the fasted and fed states. Importantly, vortioxetine was safe and tolerated, with incidence of AEs comparable to that of placebo. No deaths or serious AEs leading to trial discontinuation were observed. Overall, vortioxetine pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability in Japanese adults were comparable to reports in non-Japanese populations.

Project description:ObjectiveFabry disease is a rare X-linked disease caused by mutations to the GLA gene, resulting in a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. This study evaluated the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of ascending single doses of oral migalastat hydrochloride (HCl), an investigational drug, in healthy Japanese volunteers.MethodsIn this phase I, randomized, placebo-controlled, single-blind, ascending single-dose, cross-over study, migalastat HCl (50 mg, 150 mg, or 450 mg) or placebo was administered orally to 14 fasting male Japanese volunteers (aged 20-55 years) on 4 non-consecutive days. Main plasma and urine pharmacokinetic end-points included maximum observed plasma concentration (C max), time to C max (t max), area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC), apparent terminal-phase half-life (t 1/2), urinary recovery of unchanged drug, renal clearance, and percentage of drug excreted in urine. Safety end-points included adverse events, clinical signs and symptoms (e.g., hematology, chemistry, and urinalysis), vital signs (blood pressure and heart rate), and 12-lead electrocardiogram.Clinical trial registration numberClinicalTrials.gov registration identifier is NCT01853852.ResultsMedian t max of migalastat was 3.0-3.5 h. Migalastat HCl concentrations declined relatively rapidly, with a mean t 1/2 of 3.2-4.0 h. The amount of migalastat HCl recovered in the urine and the percentage of migalastat HCl excreted unchanged over 24 h were consistent (∼45-50%) across the dose range. The AUC and C max of migalastat HCl were dose proportional from 50-450 mg. Safety results were similar to those observed in non-Japanese populations.ConclusionsThis study demonstrated that ascending single doses of migalastat HCl (50 mg, 150 mg, 450 mg) are absorbed at a moderate rate and eliminated relatively rapidly, with a safety profile consistent with that observed in non-Japanese populations. These results confirm the dose-proportional pharmacokinetics of migalastat HCl from 50-450 mg. This study was limited by a small subject population and a short-term follow-up.

Project description:Background and objectivesRotigotine is a dopamine receptor agonist with activity across the D1 through to D5 receptors as well as select serotonergic and adrenergic sites; continuous transdermal delivery of rotigotine with replacement of the patch once daily maintains stable plasma concentrations over 24 h. Rotigotine is indicated for the treatment of early and advanced-stage Parkinson's disease and moderate-to-severe idiopathic restless legs syndrome. The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a drug may vary between subjects of different ethnic origin. This study evaluated the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of single-dose treatment with rotigotine transdermal patch in Japanese and Caucasian subjects.MethodsIn this open-label, parallel-group study, healthy male and female subjects of Japanese or Caucasian ethnic origin were matched by sex, body mass index, and age. A single transdermal patch delivering 2 mg/24 h rotigotine (patch content 4.5 mg) was applied to the ventral/lateral abdomen for 24 h. The main outcome measures were the plasma concentrations of unconjugated and total rotigotine and its desalkyl metabolites and derived pharmacokinetic parameters (area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to last quantifiable concentration [AUClast], maximum plasma concentration [Cmax], and body weight- and dose-normalized values).ResultsThe pharmacokinetic analysis included 48 subjects (24 Japanese, 24 Caucasian). The mean apparent dose of rotigotine was 2.0±0.5 mg for Japanese subjects and 2.08±0.58 mg for Caucasians. Plasma concentration-time profiles of unconjugated rotigotine and of the main metabolites were similar for both ethnic groups. Parameters of model-independent pharmacokinetics, Cmax, time to Cmax (tmax), and AUClast, for unconjugated rotigotine showed no statistically significant differences between Japanese and Caucasian subjects. Values of concentration-dependent pharmacokinetic parameters were higher in female subjects; this difference was minimized after correction for body weight. A statistically significant difference between ethnic groups was observed for total rotigotine concentrations (total rotigotine=unconjugated rotigotine+conjugated rotigotine), with slightly lower values in Caucasians after correction for body weight and apparent dose. No relevant differences were observed between males and females. Inter-individual variability was high. The terminal half-life for unconjugated rotigotine was 5.3 h in Japanese subjects and 5.7 h in Caucasians; corresponding values for total rotigotine were 8.6 h and 9.6 h. Less than 0.1% of the apparent dose was renally excreted as the parent compound. Renal elimination of total rotigotine covers 11.7% of absorbed dose in Japanese subjects and 10.8% of the absorbed dose in Caucasians, whereas the renal elimination via total despropyl rotigotine was 8.2 and 7.1%, respectively. The corresponding values for total desthienylethyl rotigotine were 3.5% in Japanese subjects and 4.2% Caucasians. Most adverse events were mild in intensity and typical for dopamine agonists or for transdermal therapeutics.ConclusionAdministration of a single patch delivering 2 mg/24 h rotigotine resulted in comparable pharmacokinetic profiles in Japanese and Caucasian subjects. The rotigotine transdermal patch was generally well-tolerated. Our findings suggest similar dose requirements for Japanese and Caucasian populations.
