Abstract:

AIM: To investigate the pharmacokinetic properties and safety of a single dose of 100 mg of lacosamide tablets in Chinese healthy subjects under fasting condition. METHODS: One single-dose, open-label, randomized and crossover study of oral lasosamide tablets was conducted in 24 healthy subjects,who were administrated test or reference preparation 100 mg under fasting condition. After a washout period of 7 days, the subjects were orally administrated with another preparation. Plasma samples were collected before and after each 24 subjects given a tablet.Concentrations of lacosamide were determined by LC-MS/MS. Pharmacokinetic parameters, including AUC0-t,AUC0-∞,Cmax,etc., were calculated with WinNonlin 6.3. Safety assessment was performed throughout the experiment. Vital signs, laboratory tests and adverse events were recorded, which was used to assess the safety of preparations.RESULTS:All 24 subjects completed the trial and were taken into pharmacokinetic analysis and safety judgment. The main pharmacokinetic parameters of the two preparations, including AUC0-t,AUC0-∞,Cmax, were basically consistent and no significant differences were found. The overall incidence of adverse events during the trial was 50%. The incidence of adverse events of the test preparation was 12.5%, and that of reference preparation was 4.2%. The severity of all adverse events was grade 1 and there was no serious adverse events observed.CONCLUSION: Domestic lacomide tablet has good safety and tolerance in Chinese healthy volunteers, and its pharmacokinetic parameters are basically same as that of imported drugs.
