Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the pharmacokinetics of a new extended-release amphetamine oral suspension (AMP XR-OS) with a standard extended-release mixed amphetamine salts product, Adderall XR®. Method: In this single-dose, open-label, randomized, two-period, two-treatment crossover study, 42 healthy adult volunteers received 15 mL of AMP XR-OS in one period and a 30 mg Adderall XR capsule in another period (both containing 18.8 mg of amphetamine base) under fasted conditions. Blood samples were analyzed for d- and l-amphetamine concentrations, and pharmacokinetic parameters Cmax, AUC0-5, AUC5-last, and AUCinf were calculated to determine bioequivalence. Safety was monitored throughout the study. Results: The 90% confidence intervals (CIs) for the log-transformed Cmax, AUC0-5, AUC5-last, and AUCinf fell within the accepted 80% to 125% range for establishing bioequivalence for d- and l-amphetamine. The most common adverse events were nausea and decreased appetite. Conclusion: AMP XR-OS is bioequivalent to Adderall XR in healthy adult participants.

AbstractPurposeThis open-label, single-dose, randomized, two-period, two-treatment, two-sequence, crossover study evaluated the comparative bioavailability between amphetamine extended-release oral suspension (treatment A: AMPH EROS, Dyanavel XR 2.5 mg/mL, 18.8 mg amphetamine base per 7.5 mL) and extended-release mixed amphetamine salts (treatment B: ER MAS, Adderall XR 30 mg capsules, equivalent to 18.8 mg amphetamine base per capsule) after a single dose in healthy adult subjects, under fasted conditions.MethodsThe crossover design allowed for intra-subject PK comparisons. Relative comparable bioavailability was determined by a statistical comparison of the AUC and Cmax parameters for both d- and l-amphetamine, where the geometric mean ratios for AUC and Cmax were within the 90% confidence limits (80.0%–125.0%) to determine comparable bioavailability between test products. Subjects in sequence 1 received treatment A followed by B; subjects in sequence 2 received treatment B followed by treatment A. PK samples were obtained at 0 (pre-dose) through 60 hours post-dose. The safety assessment was based on reported frequency and severity of adverse events.ResultsThirty (30) subjects were enrolled and 28 completed. The mean age of subjects was 35 years, with a mean BMI of 25.9 kg/m2. Most subjects were Male (63.3%) and Black (56.7%). The geometric mean ratios for Cmax and all AUC measurements were within the 80–125% bound indicating comparable bioavailability between both test products. Both test products were generally well-tolerated with no serious AEs reported.ConclusionsThe bioavailability of a single 7.5 mL dose of AMPH EROS 2.5 mg/mL was comparable to a single 30 mg capsule dose of ER MAS. AMPH EROS (both d- and l-amphetamine) showed equivalent peak and overall exposure to ER MAS under fasted conditions.FundingTris Pharma, Inc.

Abstract Background: Levamlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, has been show act as a cardiovascular drug. To compare the pharmacokinetic parameters between levamlodipine (test formulation) at a single dose of 5 mg and amlodipine (reference formulation) at a single dose of 10 mg, the bioequivalence study was carried out.Methods: A single-dose randomized, open-label, two-period crossover study was designed in healthy Chinese subjects. 48 subjects were divided into fasted and fed groups equally. The subjects randomly received the test or reference formulations at the rate of 1:1. Following a 21-day washout period, the alternative formulations were received. The blood samples were collected at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168 hours later. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was applied to determine the plasma concentrations of levamlodipine. Adverse events were recorded.Results: The 90% confidence intervals (CIs) of the ratio of geometric means (GMRs) of Cmax, AUC0-t, and AUC0-∞ under both fasted and fed conditions were within the prespecified bioequivalence limits between 80~125%. Under fasted conditions, 24 subjects were enrolled and completed the study. The mean Cmax was (2.70±0.49) ng/mL, AUC0-t was (141.32±36.24) ng×h/mL and AUC0-∞ was (157.14±45.65) ng×h/mL after a single dose of 5 mg levamlodipine. The mean Cmax was (2.83±0.52) ng/mL, AUC0-t was (153.62±33.96) ng×h/mL and AUC0-∞ was (173.05±41.78) ng×h/mL after a single dose of 10 mg amlodipine. Under fed conditions, 24 subjects were enrolled and completed the study. The mean Cmax was (2.73±0.55) ng/mL, AUC0-t was (166.93±49.96) ng×h/mL and AUC0-∞ was (190.99±70.89) ng×h/mL after a single dose of 5 mg levamlodipine. The mean Cmax was (2.87±0.81) ng/mL AUC0-t was (165.46±43.58) ng×h/mL and AUC0-∞ was (189.51±64.70) ng×h/mL after a single dose of 10 mg amlodipine. Serious adverse event was not observed.Conclusion: The trial confirmed that levamlodipine at a single dose of 5 mg and amlodipine at a single dose of 10 mg were bioequivalent under both fasted condition and fed condition.Trial registration: Cinicaltrials, NCT04411875.
