简要总结
The purpose of this study is to assess the 2012 bioequivalence statistical criteria for warfarin, a narrow therapeutic index drug, set forth in the draft guidance issued by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
详细描述
This study is a reasonable starting point to assess the appropriateness of the 2012 FDA bioequivalence (BE) statistical criteria for narrow therapeutic index drugs (NTIDs). The idea stems from an earlier study conducted in Dr. Benet's lab with the drug furosemide. The furosemide study yielded triplicate data that were unable to purely meet the BE statistical criteria set forth by the FDA due to the inherent study design. Furosemide is not an NTID to be considered by the FDA for BE studies, however. Hence, the investigators have proposed a new study to assess the BE statistical criteria with warfarin, an NTID with a draft guidance issued by the FDA. By providing the reference product (brand name warfarin) three times to each study participant and recording the relevant pharmacokinetic parameters for BE (AUC and Cmax), the investigators can make three comparisons between the data (R1 and R2 vs. R2 and R3; R1 and R2 vs. R1 and R¬3; R2 and R3 vs. R1 and R3).
The investigators have three concerns that can be tested here.
- Will normal within subject variability potentially lead to inequivalence of the reference product using the new NTID BE regulations?
- Is it possible that the BE interval could be less than the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) content uniformity limits for warfarin?
- Provide a comparison of the within-subject variance for the 2.5 ratio comparison.

研究组 & 干预措施
warfarin
Subjects will receive a single dose of warfarin 10 mg PO at each of 3 visits. The study days will be separated by at least 14 days to allow adequate time for the drug to reach washout.
干预措施: warfarin (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
S- and R- enantiomers of warfarin (S-warfarin, R-warfarin) Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) from 0 to 72 hours
时间窗: 0 to 72 hours after warfarin dosing
The primary outcome measure will be warfarin area-under-the-concentration-time curve (AUC) values from zero to seventy-two (0-72) hours. Values from the Experimental Arm (warfarin) of each the 3 study periods will be compared against each other and analyzed for intra-individual variability and tested for bioequivalence using the new narrow therapeutic index drug (NTID) regulations. Blood collection at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 hours after warfarin dosing.
次要结局
- S- and R- enantiomers of warfarin (S-warfarin, R-warfarin) Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC) from time zero to infinity hours(0 to 8 weeks after warfarin dosing)
- Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of S-warfarin and R-warfarin(0 to 72 hours after warfarin dosing)
