The objective of this randomized, open-label, single-dose, two-phase crossover study was to determine the effect of ascorbic acid on pharmacokinetics of ganoderic acid A, an important biologically active triterpenoid compound with anticancer activities, following oral administration of water extract of fruiting bodies of Ling Zhi in 12 healthy male subjects. Each subject was randomized to receive either one of the two regimens: (1) a single dose of 3,000 mg of the Ling Zhi preparation or (2) a single dose of 3,000 mg of the Ling Zhi preparation in combination with 2,500 mg of ascorbic acid. After a washout period of at least two weeks, subjects were switched to receive the alternate regimen. Blood samples were collected in each phase immediately before dosing and at specific time points for 8 hours after dosing. Plasma ganoderic acid A concentrations were quantified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The pharmacokinetic parameters analyzed were maximal plasma concentration (Cmax), time to reach peak concentration (Tmax), area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC), and half-life (t1/2). An oral coadministration of ascorbic acid with Ling Zhi preparation did not significantly alter the pharmacokinetic parameters of ganoderic acid A in healthy male subjects.

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of vitamin D3plus calcium supplements (D3-calcium) on pharmacokinetics of isoflavones in Thai postmenopausal women. This study was an open-labeled, randomized three-phase crossover study. Twelve healthy subjects were randomized to receive one of the following regimens: (a) a single dose of isoflavones, (b) a single dose of isoflavones, and D3-calcium, or (c) continuous D3-calcium for 7 days followed by a single dose of isoflavones on the 8th day. After a washout period, subjects were switched to receive the 2 remaining regimens according to their randomized sequences. Blood samples were collected before dose and at specific time points until 32 hours after isoflavone administration. Plasma was treated with β-glucuronidase/sulfatase to hydrolyze glucuronide and sulfate conjugates of daidzein and genistein. Plasma concentrations of daidzein and genistein were determined by high performance liquid chromatography. The estimated pharmacokinetic parameters of isoflavones were time to maximal plasma concentration (Tmax), maximal plasma concentration (Cmax), half-life (t1/2) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC).Tmaxof daidzein and genistein after regimen B was significantly longer than that of regimen A. Other pharmacokinetic parameters of daidzein and genistein obtained following the three regimens were not significantly different.

Objective: This study was conducted to compare the pharmacokinetics, safety and immunogenicity of HOT-1010 with bevacizumab (Avastin®) in Chinese healthy male subjects.Methods: A single-center, randomized, double-blind, single-dose, parallel trial was performed in 84 Chinese healthy male subjects who randomly (1:1) received a single intravenous infusion of 1 mg/kg HOT-1010 or Avastin® for 90 min and followed up for 85 days. Serum concentrations of bevacizumab were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Primary pharmacokinetic parameters, Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞, were calculated and evaluated the bioequivalence between HOT-1010 and Avastin®, the safety and immunogenicity of investigational drugs were also assessed.Results: A total of 82 subjects completed the study. The 90% Confidence Intervals for geometric mean ratios of Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ were 91.81–103.64%, 85.19–95.39% and 85.04–95.36%, which were all within the bioequivalence margin. Treatment-emergent adverse events were reported in 27 (65.9%) subjects in HOT-1010 group and 23 (56.1%) subjects in Avastin® group. Most TEAEs were mild or moderate. No TEAEs, Serious Adverse Events or deaths leading to discontinuation was reported. Subjects were all tested negative for Anti-drug Antibody.Conclusion: HOT-1010 exhibited the similar pharmacokinetics, safety and immunogenicity profiles of bevacizumab (Avastin®) in Chinese healthy male subjects.Clinical Trial Registration:http://www.chinadrugtrials.org.cn/index.html, CTR20181610.

The aims of this investigation were to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters and to identify parameters, based on individual plasma concentration-time curves of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid in cats, that may govern the observed differences in absorption of both drugs. The evaluation was based on the data from plasma concentration-time curves obtained following a single-dose, open, randomised, two-way crossover phase-I study, each involving 24 female cats treated with two Amoxi-Clav formulations (formulation A was Clavubactin® and formulation was B Synulox® ; 80/20 mg, 24 animals, 48 drug administrations). Plasma amoxicillin and clavulanic acid concentrations were determined using validated bioassay methods. The half-life of elimination of amoxicillin is 1.2 h (t1/2= 1.24 ± 0.28 h, Cmax= 12.8 ± 2.12 μg/ml), and that of clavulanic acid 0.6 h (t1/2= 0.63 ± 0.16 h, Cmax= 4.60 ± 1.68 μg/ml). There is a ninefold variation in the AUCtof clavulanic acid for both formulations, while the AUCtof amoxicillin varies by a factor of two. The highest clavulanic acid AUCtvalues indicate the best absorption; all other data indicate less absorption. Taking into account that the amoxicillin–to–clavulanic acid dose ratio in the two products tested was 4:1, the blood concentration ratios may actually vary much more, apparently without compromising the products’ high efficacy against susceptible microorganisms.
