Abstract

Objective: To compare bioavailability of two different imatinib pharmaceutical formulations to establish bioequivalency, according to FDA regulation. Methods: A single-dose, randomized open-label trial was performed, fasting, in two periods and two complete cross sequences with an 8-day washout period. All the study subjects were from Colombia. Imatinib blood levels were measured from plasma samples using high-efficiency liquid chromatography (HPLC) with an UV-light detector. Results: Healthy volunteers representative of Colombian population and racial types were included with a mean age of 25 years (range 18-40) and a mean body mass index (BMI) of 22 kg/m2 (range 19-24,9). Test product Cmax, Tmax and AUC (0-t) were 1437,2 ng/ml, 3,4 hours and 20431.5 ng.h/ml. Meanwhile reference product Cmax, Tmax and AUC Inf was 1435,9 ng/ml, 3,4 hours and 21296,5 ng.h/ml, respectively. Test/reference product ratios for Cmax, AUC (0-t) and AUC (0-inf) were 1,002 (CI 90% 0,903-1,112), 1,072 (CI 90% 0,935-1,230) and 1,029 (CI 90% 0,914-1,158), respectively. Conclusion: Test product (Imatin®, Procaps) and reference product (Glivec®, Novartis) are bioaquivalente according to FDA-established regulation.
