2229. Relative Bioavailability of a Single Oral Dose of SUBA-Itraconazole 65 mg Capsule Compared with Conventional Itraconazole 100 mg Capsule Administered Under Fasted and Fed Conditions in Healthy Adult Volunteers

BACKGROUND: Conventional itraconazole (CI) absorption from capsules even under fed conditions is suboptimal (~55%), let alone when fasted. SUBA-itraconazole (SI) is ~1.8x’s more bioavailable than CI at steady-state in a fed condition. There are, however, no data comparing these formulations under a fasted state. A single-dose PK study was performed comparing bioavailability of 65mg SI to 100mg CI under fasted or fed conditions. METHODS: This was an open-label, single-dose, randomized, four-period, four-treatment, four-sequence, crossover bioequivalence study under fasted and fed conditions in healthy adults. Subjects were administered a single dose of SI (1 × 65 mg) and CI (1 × 100 mg). Under fasted condition, subjects were administered SI or CI following an overnight fast of at least 10 hours. Subjects under fed condition were administered SI or CI after 30 minutes of consuming a standardized high fat breakfast preceded by an overnight fast of at least 10 hours. After dosing, all subjects fasted for at least 4 hours post-dose in all periods. Blood samples were collected prior to dosing and then from 1 to 120 hours. Analysis of itraconazole (IZ) and hydoxyitraconazole (HIZ) serum levels was by least-squares-geometric means of PK parameters. RESULTS: Under fasted condition, C(max) and AUC(tau) of IZ for SI were substantially higher compared with CI (Table, Figure 1). Under fed conditions, however, the C(max) and AUC(tau) of IZ for SI was 20% and 10% lower, respectively (table, Figure 2). Similar results were found for HIZ. The T(max) for IZ and HIZ of SI and CI were similar under a fasted condition but extended by over 2 hours for SI vs. CI under fed conditions. Study drugs were well-tolerated under fasted and fed conditions. All TEAEs were mild and resolved at the end of the study. Fifty of 52 subjects enrolled completed the study. Two subjects did not complete the study due to not being able to finish a high fat meal and noncompliance. No SAEs were reported. CONCLUSION: Total and peak IZ/HIZ exposure was substantially higher for SI under fasted conditions compared with CI, but slightly lower under fed conditions with similar safety profiles. This study demonstrates the unique nature of the SI formulation compared with CI under fasted conditions and may lead to less variability if patients are not adherent to dietary requirements when taking itraconazole.
