Summary

Teikoku Seiyaku Co., Ltd. (Japan) is developing a new Esflurbiprofen Hydrogel Patch (EFHP), a transdermal product containing 165 mg of the S-enantiomer of flurbiprofen (S-flurbiprofen) as its active pharmaceutical ingredient. The present clinical trial will be conducted to characterise maximum observed systemic exposure of the newly developed EFHP (Test) vs. "Froben 100 mg" (Reference, containing 100 mg racemic flurbiprofen in a 1:1 ratio). Characterisation will be performed under steady state conditions in order to bridge the available safety information on the basis of the comparison of maximum observed systemic exposure by means of AUC0-24h,ss,P vs. AUC0-24,ss,T and Cmax,ss,P vs. Cmax,ss,T of S-flurbiprofen.

Detailed description

This single centre, open-label, randomised (order of treatments), balanced, multiple dose trial will be performed in a 2-period, 2-sequence-crossover design. The Test Product (patch) will be applied once daily over 14 consecutive days, whereby each patch will remain applied for 24 h. Blood sampling will be performed after the 1st patch application over 24 h in order to characterise the single dose application and after the 14th patch application over 72 h in order to characterise pharmacokinetic parameters after multiple dosing including elimination phase. In between through values will be taken in the morning of specified study days to characterise steady-state built-up phase. The Reference product will be administered after a light meal as single oral doses of 100 mg flurbiprofen three times daily (i.e. every 8 h) over 4 days. Blood sampling will be performed after the 10th tablet administration over 72 h in order to characterise pharmacokinetic parameters after multiple dosing including elimination phase. In between through values will be taken in the morning of study days 1 to 4 to characterise steady-state built-up phase. The clinical trial will be performed as a cross-over investigation with intra-individual comparison, thus reducing variability of the pharmacokinetic parameters, which is supposed to be higher between subjects than within an individual subject.
