Popis: To compare the systemic exposure of salbutamol following delivery from the unit dose dry powder inhaler (UD-DPI) system with that from the DiskusThis open-label, two-part, six-way crossover, randomized single-dose study in healthy subjects evaluated salbutamol systemic exposure of three dose strengths (using three inhalations: 3 × 150 μg [450 μg], 3 × 200 μg [600 μg], and 3 × 250 μg [750 μg]) and 2% of drug in lactose blends (1.6% and 1.0% [600 μg dose only] by weight) following delivery through the UD-DPI compared with systemic exposure from the Diskus and MDI (600 μg dose). Systemic exposure in the presence of charcoal block was also evaluated. Primary treatment comparisons were area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to 12 hours [AUCDelivery of salbutamol 600 μg from the UD-DPI resulted in total systemic exposure similar to that from the Diskus and approximately half of that from the MDI (AUCSalbutamol total systemic exposure following UD-DPI was similar to that from the Diskus and was lower than that following the MDI. The different blend formulations tested resulted in consistent salbutamol systemic exposure. The contribution of the lung and gut to systemic exposure revealed a different profile for the three inhaler platforms. These data suggest that the UD-DPI warrants further evaluation.
