Group Intervention Description Treatment A selumetinib 75mg single dose AZD6244 blue reference capsules (3 x 25 mg) administered orally Treatment B selumetinib 75mg single dose AZD6244 blue capsules (3 x 25 mg) Variant 1 (free base variant) administered orally Treatment C selumetinib 75mg single dose AZD6244 blue capsules (3 x 25 mg) Variant 2 (vitamin E polyethylene glycol succinate \[TPGS\] variant) administered orally
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Bioequivalence of the Free Base Variant of Selumetinib (Treatment B) Compared to the Blue Reference Capsule (Treatment A) [Selumetinib Cmax] Blood samples were collected pre-dose, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours post dose for each of the separate treatment periods (Visits 2, 3 and 4). The bioequivalence of the free base variant of selumetinib (Treatment B) as compared to the blue reference capsule (Treatment A) was evaluated by comparing the maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of selumetinib in healthy volunteers.
Bioequivalence of the Free Base Variant of Selumetinib (Treatment B) Compared to the Blue Reference Capsule (Treatment A) [Selumetinib AUC] Blood samples were collected pre-dose, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours post dose for each of the separate treatment periods (Visits 2, 3 and 4). The bioequivalence of the free base variant of selumetinib (Treatment B) as compared to the blue reference capsule (Treatment A) was evaluated by comparing the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero extrapolated to infinity (AUC) of selumetinib in healthy volunteers.
Bioequivalence of the Free Base Variant of Selumetinib (Treatment B) Compared to the Blue Reference Capsule (Treatment A) [Selumetinib AUC(0-t)] Blood samples were collected pre-dose, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours post dose for each of the separate treatment periods (Visits 2, 3 and 4). The bioequivalence of the free base variant of selumetinib (Treatment B) as compared to the blue reference capsule (Treatment A) was evaluated by comparing the AUC from time zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration (AUC\[0-t\]) of selumetinib in healthy volunteers.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Relative Bioavailability of the TPGS Capsule Variant (Treatment C) Compared to the Blue Reference Capsule (Treatment A) [Selumetinib Cmax] Blood samples were collected pre-dose, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours post-dose for each of the separate treatment periods (Visits 2, 3 and 4). The relative bioavailability of the TPGS capsule variant of selumetinib (Treatment C) as compared to the blue reference capsule (Treatment A) was evaluated by comparing the Cmax of selumetinib in healthy volunteers.
Relative Bioavailability of the TPGS Capsule Variant (Treatment C) Compared to the Blue Reference Capsule (Treatment A) [Selumetinib AUC] Blood samples were collected pre-dose, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours post-dose for each of the separate treatment periods (Visits 2, 3 and 4). The relative bioavailability of the TPGS capsules variant of selumetinib (Treatment C) as compared to the blue reference capsule (Treatment A) was evaluated by comparing the AUC of selumetinib in healthy volunteers.
Relative Bioavailability of the TPGS Capsule Variant (Treatment C) Compared to the Blue Reference Capsule (Treatment A) [Selumetinib AUC(0-t)] Blood samples were collected pre-dose, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours post-dose for each of the separate treatment periods (Visits 2, 3 and 4). The relative bioavailability of the TPGS capsule variant of selumetinib (Treatment C) as compared to the blue reference capsule (Treatment A) was evaluated by comparing the AUC\[0-t\] of selumetinib in healthy volunteers.
The PK of the Metabolite N-desmethyl Selumetinib by Assessment of Cmax Blood samples were collected pre-dose, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours post-dose for each of the separate treatment periods (Visits 2, 3 and 4). The PK of the metabolite N-desmethyl selumetinib was evaluated by assessing the Cmax of the metabolite in healthy volunteers after oral administration of single doses of the blue reference capsule (Treatment A), the free base variant capsule (Treatment B) and the TPGS variant capsule (Treatment C).
The PK of N-desmethyl Selumetinib by Assessment of the AUC(0-t) Blood samples were collected pre-dose, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours post-dose for each of the separate treatment periods (Visits 2, 3 and 4). The PK of the metabolite N-desmethyl selumetinib was evaluated by assessing the AUC(0-t) of the metabolite in healthy volunteers after oral administration of single doses of the blue reference capsule (Treatment A), the free base variant capsule (Treatment B) and the TPGS variant capsule (Treatment C).
