To analyze the pharmacokinetics of bicalutamide (50 mg) in healthy Chinese male volunteers and to evaluate the bioequivalence of domestic generic and reference bicalutamide (CASODEX®) in healthy Chinese male volunteers.
A randomized, open, two-cycle, two-sequence, and cross-over study with a 56-day washout period was conducted under fasting and postprandial conditions in healthy Chinese male volunteers (40 subjects/condition). Eligible subjects randomly received a single 50 mg dose of either the test or the reference formulation. A serial blood samples were collected over a 576-hour interval following drug administration. The concentrations of bicalutamide in EDTA-K2 human plasma were determined by the liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method, with non-compartmental model used for pharmacokinetic analysis. The bioequivalence of the two preparations was determined according to whether the 90% confidence interval (CI) of Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ geometric mean ratio was within the range of 80.00%~125.00%.
The pharmacokinetic parameters of the test and reference capsules under fasting condition are as follows: Cmax (1 030±196) and (898±167) ng·mL-1; AUC0-t (224 000±42 900) and (196 000±48 400) h·ng·mL-1, AUC0-∞ (243 000±56 900) and (212 000±60 100) h·ng·mL-1. The pharmacokinetic parameters of the test and reference capsules under fed condition are as follows: Cmax (1 260±164) and (1 210±153) ng·mL-1; AUC0-t (245 000±40 700) and (241 000±44 700) h·ng·mL-1; AUC0-∞ (266 000±55 700) and (259 000±57 000) h·ng·mL-1. The 90% confidential intervals of the GMRs of Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ fall within bioequivalence criteria (80.00%~125.00%). No serious adverse event was observed.
The domestic bicalutamide formulation is bioequivalent to the reference formulation CASODEX®. Both formulations are generally well tolerated.
