Summary: | Summary
Background Dexlansoprazole MR is a proton pump inhibitor with a Dual Delayed Release (DDR) formulation designed to prolong the dexlansoprazole plasma concentration–time profile. The presence of food or time of dosing relative to food may affect dexlansoprazole absorption.
Aims To evaluate the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of dexlansoprazole following oral administration of dexlansoprazole MR.
Methods In this open‐label, single‐dose, randomized, 4‐way crossover study, 48 healthy subjects received placebo (day 1) and dexlansoprazole MR 90 mg (day 3) after fasting, 5 or 30 min before a high‐fat breakfast, or 30 min after a high‐fat breakfast. Intragastric pH (days 1 and 3) and PK (day 3) of dexlansoprazole were assessed over a 24‐h interval after each dose.
Results Following administration of dexlansoprazole MR under fasted/fed conditions, mean dexlansoprazole plasma concentration–time profiles generally exhibited two distinct peaks, resulting from the DDR formulation. Increases in dexlansoprazole maximum plasma concentration (12–31%) and area under the plasma concentration–time curve (9–21%) were observed with the fed regimens; however, differences in intragastric pH were not considered clinically relevant.
Conclusion Dexlansoprazole MR can be administered without regard to food or the timing of food in most patients. |
