The Bioequivalence of Tafamidis 61-mg Free Acid Capsules and Tafamidis Meglumine 4 × 20-mg Capsules in Healthy Volunteers.

Tafamidis, a non-nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory benzoxazole derivative, acts as a transthyretin (TTR) stabilizer to slow progression of TTR amyloidosis (ATTR). Tafamidis meglumine, available as 20-mg capsules, is approved in more than 40 countries worldwide for the treatment of adults with early-stage symptomatic ATTR polyneuropathy. This agent, administered as an 80-mg, once-daily dose (4 × 20-mg capsules), is approved in the United States, Japan, Canada, and Brazil for the treatment of hereditary and wild-type ATTR cardiomyopathy in adults.

The Pharmacokinetics of Pregabalin in Breast Milk, Plasma, and Urine of Healthy Postpartum Women.

Background: Limited data exist on the presence of pregabalin in human breast milk of nursing mothers.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine pregabalin concentrations in breast milk, estimate the infant daily pregabalin dose from nursing mothers, and evaluate pregabalin pharmacokinetic data in lactating women (≥ 12 weeks postpartum).

Methods: In this multiple-dose, open-label, pharmacokinetic study, 4 doses of pregabalin 150 mg were administered orally at 12-hour intervals.

The use of clinical trial simulation to support dose selection: application to development of a new treatment for chronic neuropathic pain.

Purpose: Pregabalin is being evaluated for the treatment of neuropathic pain. Two phase 2 studies were simulated to determine how precisely the dose that caused a one-point reduction in the pain score could be estimated. The likelihood of demonstrating at least a one-point change for each available dose strength was also calculated.
