A Post-Marketing Clinical Pharmacokinetics Study Of Gabapentin In Japanese Epileptic Subjects With Renal Impairment

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) following administration of gabapentin in Japanese epileptic patients with renal impairment to confirm if there are any clinically relevant differences between the plasma gabapentin concentration simulated by population PK model, which was used for the evidence of the dose adjustment for the patients with renal impairment, and observed plasma gabapentin concentration.

  • Observed Plasma Gabapentin Concentration [Time Frame: Days 8 and 15] [Designated as safety issue: No]Plasma gabapentin concentrations were measured on Day 8 and Day 15
  • Ratio of Observed Plasma Gabapentin Concentration to Predicted Plasma Gabapentin Concentration Based on Population Pharmacokinetics Model [Time Frame: Days 8 and 15] [Designated as safety issue: No]Ratio of observed plasma gabapentin concentration to predicted plasma gabapentin concentration based on population pharmacokinetics model were calculated on Day 8 and Day 15, respectively.
  • Ratio of Observed Plasma Gabapentin Concentration to Individual Predicted Plasma Gabapentin Concentration [Time Frame: Days 8 and 15] [Designated as safety issue: No]Ratio of observed plasma gabapentin concentration to individual predicted plasma gabapentin concentration were calculated on Day 8 and Day 15, respectively.

Brief Summary
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) following
administration of gabapentin in Japanese epileptic patients with renal impairment to confirm
if there are any clinically relevant differences between the plasma gabapentin concentration
simulated by population PK model, which was used for the evidence of the dose adjustment for
the patients with renal impairment, and observed plasma gabapentin concentration.
Detailed Description
Only one subject was able to be enrolled. Given enrollment challenges to identify additional
appropriate subjects, discussion was held with the Japan Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices
Agency (PMDA) and it was agreed with the PMDA to terminate this study. The study was
terminated on December 14, 2010. The study was not terminated due to any safety findings.
