Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Toassessthesteadystategalantamine(GAL)bioavailabilityoftheextendedrelease
24mgqdcapsule(GALER)withandwithoutfoodandtoevaluatetherelativebioavailabilityofGAL
ERwiththeimmediaterelease12mgbidtablet(GALIR)atsteadystate.
METHODS: Thiswasasinglecenter,openlabel,randomized,3waycrossoverstudyin24healthy
volunteers(12malesand12females)aged18to45years.After7daysofGALER8mgqdeach
morningand7daysofGALER16mgqdeachmorning,subjectsreceivedthefollowingtreatments
inrandomized,crossoverorder(7dayseach):GALER24mgqdeachmorning(fastedbeforeDay
7morningdose),GALER24mgqdeachmorning(fedbeforeDay7morningdose),andGALIR12
mgbid(fastedbeforeDay7).PharmacokineticparametersofGALatsteadystateweredetermined
aftermorningintakeonDay7ofeachtreatmentweek.Safetyevaluationsincludedadverseevent
(AE)reporting,physicalexamination,clinicallaboratorytests,vitalsigns,andelectrocardiography.
RESULTS: ThetreatmentratiosofareaundertheplasmaconcentrationtimecurveofGALfrom
time024hpostdosing(AUC24h),peakplasmaconcentration(Cmax),andpredoseplasma
concentration(Cmin)forGALERfed/fastingwere105%,112%,and103%,respectively.The
treatmentratiosand90%confidenceintervalsforallabovementionedpharmacokineticparameters
demonstratedbioequivalence(withtherangeof80125%),indicatingthatfoodhadnoeffecton
GALERbioavailability.Asanticipated,GALER(fasting)hadmeanAUC24hsimilartoGALIR
(fasting),withlowerCmax(63ng/mLvs84ng/mL)andlongertimetoreachCmax(4.4hvs1.2h).
Thetreatmentratiosand90%confidenceintervalsforbothAUC24handCmindemonstrated
bioequivalence(withintherangeof80125%).ThetreatmentratioforCmaxwas75.7%,indicatinga
24%lowerCmaxforGALERthanforGALIR.Inthisstudy,GALERwassafeandwelltoleratedwith
orwithoutfoodandwascomparabletotheGALIRformulation.
