An extended-release (ER) niacin and lovastatin fixed-dose combination has been developed for the treatment of primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia. The purpose of the present study was to examine the drug interaction between niacin and lovastatin after multi-dose oral administration of lovastatin/niacin ER combination in healthy Chinese volunteers. A single-center, randomized, open-label, 5-period crossover study was conducted in thirty healthy volunteers aged 18 to 45 years with a washout period of 8 days. Subjects were randomized to receive multiple doses of treatment A (1 500 mg niacin ER tablet), B (1 20 mg lovastatin tablet), C (1 20 mg lovastatin and 500 mg niacin-ER tablet), D (2 10 mg lovastatin and 350 mg niacin-ER tablets) or E (2 10 mg lovastatin and 500 mg niacin-ER tablets) in 1 of 5 sequences (ABCDE, BCDEA, CDEAB, DEABC, EABCD) per period. Lovastatin, niacin and its metabolites (nicotinuric acid and nicotinamide) were determined in plasma by LC/MS method. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated, and least square mean ratios and 90% confidence intervals for Cmax⁡ and AUC (0–24) were determined for lovastatin/niacin ER versus niacin ER or lovastatin. It revealed that the formulation had no potential drug interaction in healthy Chinese volunteers when the dosage was increased from 500 mg to 1000 mg.

e19532 Background: Netupitant (NETU) is a highly selective neurokinin 1 receptor antagonist (NK1 RA) developed to provide protection from nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing emetogenic chemotherapy. Three individual studies were aimed at determining NETU effect on the metabolism of the new generation 5-HT3 RA palonosetron (PALO), dexamethasone (DEX) and oral contraceptives which may be coadministered in clinical practice. Methods: Two 3-way crossover studies to determine the interaction between NETU (450 mg, day 1) and PALO (0.75 mg PO, day 1), and between NETU (100 mg, 300 mg or 450 mg PO, day 1) and DEX (20 mg PO, day 1; 8 mg BID PO, days 2-4), were performed in 18 and 25 healthy subjects, respectively. The study investigating the effect of NETU/PALO (300 mg/0.5 mg PO) as a fixed dose combination on the PK of oral contraceptives ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel (60 μg/300 μg) was a 2-way crossover trial of 24 healthy women. Serial blood samples were collected over the course of the three studies and pharmacokinetic parameters were determined for all analytes. Results: There were no significant pharmacokinetic interactions between NETU and PALO. DEX mean AUC and Cmax increased respectively, by 1.7 and 1.1 fold on day 1 and by 2.4 and 1.7 fold on day 4 when coadministered with NETU. NETU was shown to increase exposure to DEX in a dose-dependent manner. The combination of NETU/PALO did not significantly affect exposure to ethinylestradiol; systemic exposure to levonorgestrel increased by 40%, a level that is not considered clinically relevant. Conclusions: A relevant drug interaction was seen between NETU and DEX and therefore dose reductions are recommended for DEX when administered with NETU. This drug interaction is likely due to inhibition of CYP3A4 by NETU. No interaction was clinically relevant between NETU and PALO, or between NETU/PALO and ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel. Treatments were well-tolerated in all studies.

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the effect of a high-fat diet on the pharmacokinetics and safety of flumatinib mesylate tablets in healthy Chinese subjects. Methods This study was a randomized, open-label, single-dose, two-period crossover trial in which subjects were randomly assigned to take 400 mg of flumatinib mesylate after a high-fat diet or a fasted state. After a 14-day washout period, the two groups were administered flumatinib mesylate under opposite conditions. Blood samples were collected at baseline 0 and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h, respectively. Plasma concentrations of flumatinib and its metabolites (M1 and M3) were analyzed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using the non-compartmental module of the Phoenix WinNonlin Version 7.0 software. BE module of WinNonLin was used for statistical analysis of AUC0–t, AUC0–∞ and Cmax in plasma. Results Twelve healthy subjects, half male and half female, were enrolled. One subject withdrew due to a treatment-emergent adverse event. Eleven subjects were administered drugs on fasting and 12 were administered drugs after a high-fat diet. On high-fat diet/fasting, the least square geometric mean (LSGM) ratios of flumatinib, M1, M3, and their 90% confidence interval (CI) were as follows: for flumatinib, Cmax, AUC0–t and AUC0–∞ were 281.65% (225.80–351.31%), 167.43% (143.92–194.79%), and 166.87% (143.47–194.09%); for M1, Cmax, AUC0–t, and AUC0–∞ were 188.59% (145.29–244.79), 163.94% (149.11–180.24%), and 164.48% (150.36–179.94%); for M3, Cmax, AUC0–t, and AUC0–∞ were 63.47% (54.02–74.57%), 85.23% (74.72–97.22%), and 96.73% (86.63–108.02%). Conclusion Among the subjects, oral administration of 400 mg of flumatinib was safe and well tolerated. High-fat diet significantly increases the exposure to flumatinib, therefore, fasting may be recommended. Clinical trial registration The study was registered at chictr.org Identifier: ChiCTR-IIR-17013179.

Dose Combination

Introduction. A fixed dose combination of telmisartan and amlodipine is widely used in clinical practice during hypertension treatment. Combination of telmisartan and amlodipine demonstrates potentiating synergistic effect on blood pressure decrease. A bioequivalence study of Telzap® AM with coadministered Mikardis® and Norvask® was conducted with 60 volunteers.Aim. The purpose of the bioequivalence trial was a comparative study of the pharmacokinetics and evidence of the bioequivalence of the fixed dose combination drug product Telzap® AM (telmisartan + amlodipine, tablets, 80 + 10 mg, Zentiva ks company, Czech Republic) and coadministrated monocomponent drug products Mikardis® (telmisartan, tablets 80 mg, Beringer Ingelheim International GmbH, Germany) and Norvask® [amlodipine, tablets 10 mg, Pfizer HCP Corporation (USA), Russia] in healthy volunteers after a single administration under fasting.Materials and methods. To prove bioequivalence, an open label, comparative, randomized, crossover four-period replicate clinical trial was conducted. The concentrations of amlodipine and telmisartan in plasma samples were determined by a validated HPLC-MS/MS method. A pharmacokinetic and statistical analysis was performed and confidence intervals for the pharmacokinetic parameters Cmax and AUC0-72 were calculated.Results and discussion. It can be concluded that the studied formulations are bioequivalent in terms of pharmacokinetic parameters of amlodipine and telmisartan. All 90 % confidence intervals for the estimated pharmacokinetic parameters of amlodipine were in the range of 80–125 %, 90 % confidence intervals for telmisartan were within the bioequivalence range of 80–125 % for AUC0-72, and 76.73–130.32 % for Cmax.Conclusion. Thus, according to the criteria used in the study, the formulations are proved to be bioequivalent.
