Abstract

Selective α1a-adrenoceptor antagonists are effective agents for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, a disorder occurring in middle-aged and elderly males. The objective of this study was to determine the pharmacokinetics of fiduxosin, a novel α1a-adrenoceptor antagonist, following multiple dose administration. This was carried out in a Phase I, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multiple oral dose study of fiduxosin. Single once-daily oral doses of 30, 60, 90 or 120 mg of fiduxosin or placebo were administered to healthy elderly male subjects (n = 48; 8 active and 4 placebo per dosing group) for 14 consecutive days. Fiduxosin plasma concentration-versus-time prof les for days 1, 7 and 14 were used to assess fiduxosin pharmacokinetics. Steady state was achieved by day 7. At steady-state mean Tmax (time to maximum plasma concentration), CL/F (apparent oral clearance) and Vβ/F (apparent volume of distribution) ranges were 1.8-7.8h, 27.3–47.2 L h−1 and 846-1399L, respectively. Tmax and Vβ/F were independent of dose. Cmax (maximum plasma concentration), Cmin (minimum plasma concentration) and AUC24 (area under plasma concentration vs time curve from 0 to 24 h) for days 7 and 14 were linearly proportional with dose over the 30–120 mg/day dose range and were unchanged from day 7 to day 14. It was concluded that fiduxosin multiple-dose pharmacokinetics were dose-independent and time-invariant over the 30–120 mg/day dose range under fasting conditions.
