Brief Summary

This is a randomized, open-label, single-dose, five-period crossover, relative bioavailability study to evaluate tadalafil gummy 10mg and tadalafil oral tablets 10mg in healthy volunteers

Conditions

Erectile Dysfunction

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• maximum plasma cetirizine concentration (Cmax)

  PK blood samples to measure plasma concentrations of tadalafil will be collected by direct venipuncture or by use of an indwelling cannula. Blood will be collected into tubes containing K2EDTA for determination of plasma tadalafil concentration at time 0 (within 60 minutes pre-dose), 10, 20 minute post-dose and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours post-dose. Plasma tadalafil concentrations will be listed at each time point by subject and summarized by treatment at each time point using descriptive statistics (n, mean, standard deviation (SD), Coefficient of variation (CV%), median, minimum and maximum values). Pharmacokinetic calculations will be performed based on actual time of blood sample collection, using non-compartmental methods with Phoenix WinNonlin Version 8.1 (Certara USA, Inc., Princeton, New Jersey, USA). Plots of mean concentrations of plasma tadalafil versus time will be generated and Cmax will be generated from the plot.

  96 hours

• area under the plasma drug concentration versus time curve (AUC)

  AUC will be determined using non-compartmental analysis methods (Phoenix WinNonlin software, version 8.1 or higher, Certara USA Inc., Princeton, NJ). AUC will be calculated to the last measurable observation (AUC0-t) and extrapolated to infinity (AUC0 ∞).

  96 hours

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• time to Cmax (Tmax)

  96 hours

• elimination half-life (t½)

  96 hours

• terminal elimination rate constant (Kel).

  96 hours

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 19 Years - 65 Years
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• male 19-65 years of age;
• Available to participate for the planned duration of the study;
• Able and willing to complete the informed consent process;
• Agree to have blood samples collected and stored for the study;
• Agree not to use approved or experimental benign prostatic hyperplasia or erectile dysfunction treatments anytime during the course of the study;
• Have not taken finasteride or dutasteride therapy, any other lower urinary tract symptom (LUTS) therapy or phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors for specified duration of time prior to the study;
• Have not taken nitrates, alpha blockers, antihypertensives, alcohol, CYP3A4 inhibitors and CYP3A4 inducers for a specified duration of time prior to the study;

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: phase 1
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: NONE
• Purpose: TREATMENT
• Intervention Model: CROSSOVER
• Sponsor Type: INDUSTRY
• Responsible Party: SPONSOR

Model Details: Eligible subjects will receive a single oral dose of one of five treatments (Treatments A, B, C, D or E) in five separate periods in a randomly assigned sequence, with each treatment separated by an approximate 5-day washout period. In each study period, dosing will occur in the morning after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours. All doses will be administered under fasted conditions except for Treatment C, when tadalafil gummy 10 mg will be administered after consumption of a high-calorie, high-fat breakfast. All doses will be administered with approximately 240 mL of room temperature water except for Treatment D, when tadalafil gummy 10 mg dose will be administered without water. All doses of tadalafil gummy 10 mg will be chewed before swallowing except for Treatment E, when subjects will be instructed to swallow the dose whole.
