A Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics Study Under Fasting and Fed Conditions With Paliperidone Extended-release and Immediate-release Formulations

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the bioavailability of 2 extended release paliperidone pellet formulations under fasting and fed conditions with a 2 mg paliperidone oral solution under fasting conditions. Additional objectives are to compare the pharmacodynamic effects (postural changes in blood pressure and heart rate), to evaluate the safety and tolerability of each treatment, and to explore the relationship between CYP2D6 genotype and paliperidone exposure.

Detailed description

This is a single-center, open-label, randomized, 5-way crossover Phase 1 study in non-smoking healthy men and women, aged between 18 and 55 years. The study consists of a screening period; a 5-way crossover, open-label treatment phase with 14 days washout between treatments; and end-of-study evaluations upon completion or at early withdrawal. Eligible volunteers will be randomly assigned to 1 of 5 treatment sequences. Each volunteer will receive the following treatments in random order: (A) paliperidone ER pellet formulation-1, as 1 capsule of 2.5 mg, under fasting conditions; (B) paliperidone ER pellet formulation-1, as capsule of 2.5 mg with food (high-fat breakfast); (C) paliperidone ER pellet formulation-2 as 1 capsule of 2.5 mg, under fasting conditions; (D) paliperidone ER pellet formulation-2 as 1 capsule of 2.5 mg with food (high-fat breakfast); (E) immediate release (IR) paliperidone oral solution, 2 mg (2 mL) of a 1-mg/mL solution, under fasting conditions. Alternative paliperidone ER formulations are being developed with the aim to increase bioavailability and reduce variability, without compromising the favorable effect on orthostatic hypotension as seen with ER OROS paliperidone. Therefore, in this study, the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic properties, as well as the effect of food, of 2 alternative paliperidone ER pellet formulations will be investigated. Safety and tolerability will be monitored throughout the study.. Single doses of paliperidone ER pellet formulation-1, as 1 capsule of 2.5 mg, fasted; paliperidone ER pellet formulation-1, as 1 capsule of 2.5 mg with food (high-fat breakfast); paliperidone ER pellet formulation-2 as 1 capsule of 2.5 mg, fasted; paliperidone ER pellet formulation-2 as 1 capsule of 2.5 mg with food (high-fat breakfast); IR paliperidone oral solution, 2 mg (2 mL) of a 1-mg/mL solution, fasted.
