Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of an orally disintegrating tablet formulation of dexlansoprazole
Background: The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a novel orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) formulation of delayed-release dexlansoprazole 30 mg was evaluated versus the dexlansoprazole 30 mg capsule in this phase I, open-label, multiple-dose, randomized, two-period crossover study.

| Summary: | Background: The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a novel orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) formulation of delayed-release dexlansoprazole 30 mg was evaluated versus the dexlansoprazole 30 mg capsule in this phase I, open-label, multiple-dose, randomized, two-period crossover study. Methods: Healthy adults received daily doses of 30 mg dexlansoprazole ODT or 30 mg dexlansoprazole delayed-release capsule for 5 days during two treatment periods, separated by a 7-day washout interval. Blood samples for dexlansoprazole plasma concentrations and intragastric pH measurements were collected through 24 hours postdose on days 1 and 5 of each period. Results: Bioequivalence between the 30 mg ODT and 30 mg capsule dosage forms was demonstrated by the primary endpoints of dexlansoprazole peak concentration ( C max ) and systemic exposure (AUC) values contained within the prespecified 90% confidence interval (CI) range of 0.80–1.25. Additional primary endpoints of intragastric mean pH values and percentage of time with pH > 4 over the 24-hour postdose interval were equivalent for dexlansoprazole ODT and dexlansoprazole capsule. Treatment-emergent adverse events were reported in 23% and 28% of participants receiving the ODT and capsule formulations, respectively. Headache was the most common adverse event in both treatment regimens (5.8% with ODT and 6.0% with capsule). Conclusions: Administration of dexlansoprazole 30 mg ODT or 30 mg capsule provided equivalent plasma exposure when either was administered as a single dose or as once daily doses for 5 days. Pharmacodynamic equivalence between the two formulations was demonstrated by similar intragastric pH parameters on both day 1 and day 5. No effect of day on dexlansoprazole pharmacokinetics was observed. Dexlansoprazole ODT and dexlansoprazole capsule were both well tolerated. |
