 Primidone BE study for USFDA submission [Regulatives / Guidelines]

Dear All,

Till now, USFDA has not issued product specific bioequivalence recommendation to conduct the Primidone BE study. Any one could suggest, what to estimate in the Primidone BE study for USFDA submission, Whether required to estimate parent (Primidone) and metabolite Phenobarbital and phenylethylmalonamide (PEMA) or parent only?


Regards,
Ramesh.R

 Primidone BE study for USFDA submission

Haven't looked up the drug but are both metabolites active? To be on the safe side (if you don't want to file control correspondence) then i would measure the active metabolites since FDA usually ask to have the data collected.

 Primidone BE study for USFDA submission

Couldn't find any approval packages on Drugs@FDA, so I'm going to have to use science rather than precedent, shucks.

PEMA and PHB are both active metabolites, but based on the FDA general guidance, I am not sure that triggers a requirement to test for them.

However, the guidance specifically recommends PK samples for metabolites when there may be gut/enteric metabolism. Primidone undergoes autoinduction so it is likely metabolized by 3A4, which is in the gut. I suppose this is a trigger for metabolite monitoring?

Another point about autoinduction, is there are persistent effects on metabolism. A long washout period, determined by turnover number of CYPs should be applied. I am not sure what you guys do in practice. PHB can hang with the best of them (like rifampin) in terms of induction.

 Primidone BE study for USFDA submission

Primidone is absorbed rapidly from the gastrointestinal tract, peak plasma levels being attained approximately 3 hours after ingestion. Primidone is well distributed in all organs and tissues: it crosses the blood-brain and placental barriers and is excreted in breast milk. The pharmacokinetics of primidone are complex because of biotransformation into two metabolites, phenobarbitone and phenylethylmalonamide, that have anticonvulsant activity and complex pharmacokinetic properties.

It is good to analyze the Parent and both metabolites (as they are pharmcologically active).
90% CI date for parent and metabolite data is supportive.

Also look into the safety aspect of drug (whether this product is NTI drug?)
Accordingly study design should be done.
