Objectives To investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics and food effect of iptakalim in healthy adult Han Chinese volunteers.
Methods Study 1 was a randomized open‐label, Latin square designed, single‐dose, three‐period, self‐control crossover study. Six men and six women received 5, 10 and 20 mg of iptakalim orally. Study 2 was a randomized, open‐label, single‐dose, two‐period, self‐control crossover study. Ten men were included and each subject received 5 mg iptakalim orally, fasting and nonfasting.
Key findings No adverse effects were reported and no clinically meaningful changes in vital signs were found. Cmax, AUC0–t and AUC0–∞ were proportional over the dose levels of 5, 10 and 20 mg. Tmax, t½ and CL/F were similarly independent of dose level. In the 5 mg and 20 mg group, the Cmax, AUC0–t and AUC0–∞ in women were significantly higher than in men, although they showed no difference after correction by mg/kg doses in the 5 mg group. At the 5‐mg dose level, no significant difference in pharmacokinetics was found in nonfasting and fasting subjects.
Conclusions Single‐dose pharmacokinetics of iptakalim showed dose proportionality over the dose levels of 5–20 mg. The pharmacokinetics showed gender differences in the 5 and 20 mg groups. Food had almost no impact on the pharmacokinetics at the 5 mg level.
