Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of dexlansoprazole injection in healthy Chinese subjects
Abstract
PURPOSE: This study was conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of dexlansoprazole injection in healthy subjects.
METHODS: Dexlansoprazole (20-90 mg) or lansoprazole (30 mg) was administrated intravenously to healthy male and female volunteers. All the subjects were sampled for pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis and 64 of them were monitored for 24-h intragastric pH prior to and after administration in the pharmacodynamic (PD) study.
RESULTS: Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC0-τ) for dexlansoprazole injection was dose-proportional over the range of 20-90 mg following a single intravenous administration. Total clearance and half-life (t1/2) was independent of dose, and ranged from 4.69 L/h to 5.85 L/h and from 1.24 h to 2.17 h, respectively. A single dose of dexlansoprazole (30 mg) resulted in higher gastric pH compared to that of lansoprazole, evidenced by a mean 24-h gastric pH of 6.1 ± 1.2 (lansoprazole: 5.4 ± 1.1) and 24-h gastric pH > 6 post drug dose holding time of 64.2 ± 21.0% (lansoprazole: 49.5 ± 21.5%).
CONCLUSION: Dexlansoprazole injection was safe and well tolerated for up to 5-day repeated intravenous administration dose of 30 mg. The recommended dosage for dexlansoprazole injection is 30 mg for an adequate gastric acid control.
