Estimation of the area under the concentration-time curve of racemic lansoprazole by using limited plasma concentration of lansoprazole enantiomers
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to identify the common time point that gives plasma concentrations of lansoprazole enantiomers that adequately reflect the AUC of racemic lansoprazole.
METHODS: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study in three phases was conducted at intervals of 2 weeks. Eighteen healthy Japanese volunteers, including three CYP2C19 genotype groups, took a single 60-mg oral dose of lansoprazole after 6 days of pretreatment, with either clarithromycin (800 mg/day), fluvoxamine (50 mg/day), or a placebo. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify the most informative sampling times of (R)- and (S)-lansoprazole, using one to three samples to estimate the AUC(0-infinity) of racemic lansoprazole.
RESULTS: The best R(2) in each prediction formula for the AUC of racemic lansoprazole using one, two, and three sampling points of (R)- and (S)-lansoprazole based on the data sets from all three pretreatment groups (n = 54) were 0.897, 0.930, and 0.929, respectively. The best prediction formula for the AUC of racemic lansoprazole, using the fewest sampling points of (R)- and (S)-lansoprazole, was AUC = 6.5 x C(3h) of (R)-lansoprazole + 13.7 x C(3h) of (S)-lansoprazole - 9,917.3 x G1 - 14,387.2 x G2 + 7,103.6 (P < 0.001), where C(3h) is the plasma concentration 3 h after administration, G1 = 1 for the homozygous extensive metabolizer (EM) and 0 for the other genotypes, G2 = 1 for the heterozygous EM and 0 for the other…
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 54 participants or records.
