Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of YYD601, a Dual Delayed-Release Formulation of Esomeprazole, Following Single and Multiple Doses in Healthy Adult Volunteers Under Fasting and Fed Conditions
Abstract
Background: YYD601 was developed as a novel dual delayed release (DDR) formulation of esomeprazole to prolong the plasma esomeprazole concentration and extend the duration of acid suppression.
Purpose: The pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) characteristics of YYD601 after single and multiple oral administrations were investigated in healthy Korean adults under fasting and fed conditions, and compared with the original esomeprazole capsule.
Methods: In the single-center, randomized, open-label, parallel-design, two-period study, thirty two volunteers were enrolled into four dosing groups, including esomeprazole 40-mg (group A), YYD60130-mg (group B), YYD601 40-mg (group C), and YYD601 60-mg (group D) once daily for 5 days. Blood samples were collected for PK analysis, before and up to 24 h after dosing. For PD characteristics of YYD601, the percentages of time with intragastric pH > 4 over a 24-h period and during night-time following multiple oral administrations were evaluated.
Results: A total of 27 subjects completed the study. YYD601 showed a dual-peak PK profile under fasting condition, with delayed Tmax, compared with conventional formulation. There were no significant differences in the AUC values adjusted for dose between the three YYD601 dosage groups and the conventional esomeprazole 40 mg. The esomeprazole AUC following single and multiple administration decreased with food intake by approximately 33%. YYD601 showed a linear pharmacokinetic profile in…
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 27 participants or records.
