    Notes: Abstract Potential differences in the acute effect of cyclosporin on renal function when dosed orally as the current market formulation or following a milligram-to-milligram conversion to a new microemulsion formulation were investigated in 14 stable kidney transplant patients. The study consisted of three sequential periods of 2 weeks duration each. Patients entered (period I) and completed (period III) the investigation with the market formulation and received the microemulsion formulation in period II; individualized cyclosporin doses remained unchanged throughout the study. Over one steady-state dosing interval at the end of each study period, whole blood cyclosprin pharmacokinetic profiles were assessed in parallel with endogenous creatinine clearances over sequential 1-to 2-h intervals. The rate and extent of cyclosporin absorption were significantly greater (P〈0.01) from the microemulsion formulation with average increases of 73% in peak concentration and 44% in area under the curve compared to the market formulation. Sequential creatinine clearances exhibited a transient decrease with the nadir occurring on average between 4 and 6h post dose followed by a rapid return to baseline. Specifically in period I on the market formulation, clearances decreased from a baseline of 71.7±20.6 to a minimum of 51.1±17.9 ml/min per 1.73 m2 (similar values in period III) and from 76.8±24.8 to 53.5±17.5 ml/min per 1.73 m2 in period II on the microemulsion. Neither the baseline nor minimum clearances were significantly different among the study periods. Hence, the pharmacokinetic differences between the formulations did not acutely influence the pattern of glomerular filtration rate following the initial milligramto-milligram changeover in stable renal transplant patients.

    Notes: Abstract The influence of a fat-rich meal on the pharmacokinetics of cyclosporine from a new oral formulation (Sandimmune Neoral) was compared in a randomized, four-way crossover study to the currently marketed formulation (Sandimmune) in 24 healthy male volunteers. Single oral doses of 300 mg Sandimmune and 180 mg Sandimmune Neoral were each administered once under fasting conditions and once 30 min after starting a high-fat meal. Serial blood samples were obtained over a 48-hr period after each administration, and whole-blood cyclosporine concentrations were determined by a specific monoclonal radioimmunoassay method. Food had a marked effect on cyclosporine absorption from Sandimmune manifested by a nearly doubled time to reach the peak concentration and a 37% increase in the area under the curve. This was associated with significant elevations in subsequent whole-blood cyclosporine concentrations compared to the fasting administration. For Sandimmune Neoral the influence was less pronounced. The maximum concentration was decreased by 26%, without a relevant change in the time to reach the peak; the area under the curve showed a slight reduction of 15%. The relatively minor influence of a fat-rich meal on the absorption of cyclosporine from Sandimmune Neoral is advantageous when individualizing a dosage regimen under clinical and out-patient administration conditions.

    Notes: Abstract The pharmacokinetic dose proportionality and relative bioavailability of cyclosporine from a microemulsion formulation (Sandimmune Neoral) were compared to those of the commercial formulation (Sandimmune) over the dosage range 200 to 800 mg. Single oral administrations were given as soft gelatin capsules in an open randomized study with 48 healthy volunteers. Whole-blood cyclosporine concentrations were determined by a specific monoclonal radio-immunoassay. In comparison to Sandimmune, the absorption rate (maximum concentration) and systemic availability (area under the curve) of cyclosporine were greater for Sandimmune Neoral at all dose levels investigated. The area under the curve for Sandimmune increased in a less than proportional manner with respect to dose, whereas that for Sandimmune Neoral was consistent with linear pharmacokinetics. Because of this difference, no global assessment of relative bioavailability could be performed. The relative bioavailability of cyclosporine from Sandimmune Neoral ranged from 174 to 239% compared to Sandimmune, depending on the dose level. The improvements in oral bioavailability and dose linearity of cyclosporine exposure after administration as Sandimmune Neoral should facilitate more accurate dosage titration in the clinical setting.

    Notes: Abstract Basiliximab is an immunosuppressant chimeric monoclonal antibody directed to the human interleukin-2 receptor α-chain used for prevention of acute rejection episodes in organ transplantation. The minimally effective serum concentration necessary to saturate receptor epitopes in kidney transplant patients is 0.2 μg/ml. To guide dose selection for Phase 3 efficacy trials, a population pharmacostatistical model was fitted to intensively sampled Phase 2 pharmacokinetic data. This served as a basis from which to examine candidate dose regimens with respect to the duration over which receptor-saturating concentrations would be achieved posttransplant. Three prediction methods were assessed: one based on simulations, and two others based on first-order approximation using either inverse regression or inversion of confidence intervals. An 80% prediction interval was generated by each method to evaluate its predictive performance against prospectively collected Phase 3 data in 39 renal transplant patients who received two injections of 20mg basiliximab, one prior to surgery and one on Day 4 posttransplant. All methods provided correct prediction of the duration of receptor-saturating concentration. As anticipated, the best performance was obtained from the simulation method which predicted 30 values in the 80% prediction interval, 19.7–52.7 days. The actually observed 80% interval from the Phase 3 data was 23.7–58.3 days.
