To compare the pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of the pediatric dispersible tablet formulation of macitentan and the adult film-coated tablet formulation of macitentan in healthy subjects. A randomized, open-label, single-dose, two-sequence, two-period, crossover, Phase 1 study was conducted in 12 healthy adults. Subjects were randomized to one of the two possible treatment sequences A/B or B/A on Day 1 under fasted conditions. Treatment A was a single 10 mg dose of macitentan (film-coated adult formulation) and Treatment B was a single 10 mg dose of macitentan, consisting of two 5 mg dispersible tablets (pediatric formulation). PK sampling over 216 hours was conducted, and PK parameters were derived using non-compartmental methods. For macitentan, geometric means ratio of peak plasma concentrations (Cmax ), plasma concentration-time curve from zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration (AUC0-t ), and plasma concentration-time curve from zero to infinity (AUC0-∞ ) were 1.140, 0.974, and 0.974, respectively. The corresponding 90% confidence intervals fell entirely within the referenced range of 0.8000 to 1.2500, which is used for evaluation of bioequivalence. These results indicate no significant differences between the pediatric dispersible tablet and the adult film-coated tablet. Both formulations were well tolerated. The pediatric dispersible tablet is biocomparable to the adult film-coated tablet formulation.

BACKGROUND: Macitentan is a clinically approved endothelin receptor antagonist for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Increasing use of combination drug therapy in PAH means that it is important to recognize potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs) that could affect the efficacy and safety of macitentan in patients with PAH. OBJECTIVE: Two Phase 1 studies were conducted to investigate the effect of macitentan at steady-state on the pharmacokinetics of the breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) substrates, rosuvastatin and riociguat in healthy male subjects. Another objective was to determine the safety and tolerability of concomitant administration of rosuvastatin or riociguat with macitentan. METHODS: Healthy male subjects received a single oral dose of rosuvastatin 10 mg (n = 20) or riociguat 1 mg (n = 20) on Day 1 (reference treatment). A loading oral dose of macitentan 30 mg was administered on Day 5 followed by macitentan 10 mg once-daily from Day 6 to Day 15 (riociguat study) or Day 6 to Day 16 (rosuvastatin study). A concomitant oral dose of rosuvastatin 10 mg or riociguat 1 mg was administered on Day 10 (test treatment). Pharmacokinetics were evaluated for 96 h after treatment on Day 1 and for 144 h (riociguat study) or 168 h (rosuvastatin study) after treatment on Day 10. To compare the reference and test treatments, the geometric mean ratio was calculated for the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from zero (pre-dose) to time of the last measured concentration above the limit of quantification (AUC0-t), the AUC from zero to infinity (AUC0-∞) and the terminal elimination half-life (t½) of rosuvastatin, riociguat and riociguat's metabolite, M1. The difference in the time to reach maximum plasma concentration (tmax) was determined by the Wilcoxon test. Trough levels of macitentan and its metabolite, ACT-132577, were measured and safety was monitored throughout. RESULTS: Ninety percent confidence intervals of the geometric mean ratios were within the bioequivalence criteria of 0.80-1.25. There was no significant difference between test and reference tmax. Rosuvastatin or riociguat did not affect the steady-state concentrations of macitentan and ACT-132577. The adverse event profile was consistent with the known safety profiles of the drugs. CONCLUSIONS: Macitentan 10 mg did not affect the pharmacokinetics of BCRP substrates, rosuvastatin or riociguat in healthy male subjects. EudraCT numbers: 2017-003095-31 and 2017-003502-41.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with insulin resistance (IR) and glucose intolerance. Elevated endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels have been observed in OSA patients and in mice exposed to intermittent hypoxia (IH). We examined whether pharmacological blockade of type A and type B ET-1 receptors (ETA and ETB) would ameliorate glucose intolerance and IR in mice exposed to IH. Subcutaneously implanted pumps delivered BQ-123 (ETA antagonist; 200 nmol/kg/day), BQ-788 (ETB antagonist; 200 nmol/kg/day) or vehicle (saline or propyleneglycol [PG]) for 14 days in C57BL6/J mice (10/group). During treatment, mice were exposed to IH (decreasing the FiO2 from 20.9% to 6%, 60/h) or intermittent air (IA). After IH or IA exposure, insulin (0.5 IU/kg) or glucose (1 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally and plasma glucose determined after injection and area under glucose curve (AUC) was calculated. Fourteen-day IH increased fasting glucose levels (122 ± 7 vs. 157 ± 8 mg/dL, PG: 118 ± 6 vs. 139 ± 8; both p < 0.05) and impaired glucose tolerance (AUCglucose: 19,249 ± 1105 vs. 29,124 ± 1444, PG AUCglucose: 18,066 ± 947 vs. 25,135 ± 797; both p < 0.05) in vehicle-treated animals. IH-induced impairments in glucose tolerance were partially ameliorated with BQ-788 treatment (AUCglucose: 21,969 ± 662; p < 0.05). Fourteen-day IH also induced IR (AUCglucose: 7185 ± 401 vs. 8699 ± 401; p < 0.05). Treatment with BQ-788 decreased IR under IA (AUCglucose: 5281 ± 401, p < 0.05) and reduced worsening of IR with IH (AUCglucose: 7302 ± 401, p < 0.05). There was no effect of BQ-123 on IH-induced impairments in glucose tolerance or IR. Our results suggest that ET-1 plays a role in IH-induced impairments in glucose homeostasis.
