About

Tamsulosin (sold under the name Omnic OCAS) is used for treatment of voiding complaints related to an enlarged prostate. Solifenacin (sold under the name Vesicare) is used for the treatment of patients suffering from problems related to overactive bladder, such as needing to go to the toilet frequently and often having a sudden urgent need to go to the toilet. Certain patients with an enlarged prostate have complaints that may benefit from a combination of tamsulosin and solifenacin. EC905 is a single tablet containing both tamsulosin and solifenacin. The current study aims at investigating how tamsulosin and solifenacin are taken up from the intestine, distributed through the body and eventually eliminated from the body when taken as a single EC905 tablet.

Full description

In this study there are two sequence groups with 27 subjects in total. In Period 1, subjects are randomized to receive one of the two final combination tablet formulations of tamsulosin HCl and solifenacin succinate. In Period 1, 13 subjects receive one combination and 14 subjects receive the other combination. In Period 2, the alternate treatment is provided.

Screening takes place from Days -21 to -2 before the first admission day (Day -1). EC905 is administered from Day 1 to Day 12 (treatment period 1), and from Day 13 to Day 24 (treatment period 2). All treatments are administered with subjects in the fasted state.

Blood samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis of tamsulosin HCl and solifenacin free base are collected, and assessments of vital signs, safety electrocardiogram (ECG), safety laboratory, adverse events and concomitant medications are performed.

Subjects are discharged on day 25 and an End of Study Visit takes place at least 10 days after the second treatment period, or after withdrawal.

Inclusion criteria

  • Body Mass Index between 18.5 and 30.0 kg/m2, inclusive.

Exclusion criteria

  • Known or suspected hypersensitivity to tamsulosin HCl, solifenacin succinate, EC905 or any of the components of the formulations used.
  • Any of the contraindications or precautions for use as mentioned in the applicable sections of the Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) of tamsulosin or solifenacin.
  • Use of grapefruit (more than 3 x 200 ml) or marmalade (more than three times) in the week prior to admission to the clinic.
  • Any of the liver function tests (i.e. ALT, AST) above the upper limit of normal.
  • Any clinically significant history of asthma, eczema, any other clinically significant allergic condition or previous severe hypersensitivity to any drug (excluding non-active hay fever).
  • Any of the contraindications or precautions for use as mentioned in the applicable sections of the SPC's of tamsulosin or solifenacin.
  • Abnormal pulse rate and/or blood pressure measurements at the pre-study visit as follows: pulse rate <40 or >90 bpm; mean systolic blood pressure >160 mmHg; mean diastolic blood pressure >100 mmHg (blood pressure measurements taken in triplicate after subject has been resting in supine position for at least 5 min; pulse rate will be measured automatically).
  • A QT interval after repeated measurements of >430 ms, a history of unexplained syncope, cardiac arrest, unexplained cardiac arrhythmias or torsades de pointes, structural heart disease, or a family history of Long QT Syndrome (LQTS).
  • Use of any prescribed or OTC (over-the-counter) drugs (including vitamins, natural and herbal remedies, e.g. St. John's wort) in the 2 weeks prior to admission to the Clinical Unit, except for paracetamol (up to 3 g/day).
  • Regular use of any inducer of liver metabolism (e.g. barbiturates, rifampicin) in the 3 months prior to admission to the Clinical Unit.
  • Any use of drugs of abuse within 3 months prior to admission to the Clinical Unit.
  • History of smoking more than 10 cigarettes (or equivalent amount of tobacco) per day within 3 months prior to admission to the Clinical Unit.
  • History of drinking more than 21 units of alcohol per week (1 unit = 10 g pure alcohol = 250 ml of beer (5%) or 35 ml of spirits (35%) or 100 ml of wine (12%)) within 3 months prior to admission to the Clinical Unit.
  • Donation of blood or blood products within 3 months prior to admission to the Clinical Unit.
  • Positive serology test for HBsAg, anti HAV (IgM), anti-HCV or anti-HIV 1+2.
  • Participation in any clinical study within 3 months or participation in more than 3 clinical studies within 12 months, prior to the expected date of enrolment into the study, provided that the clinical study did not entail a biological compound with a long terminal half life
  • Employee of the Astellas Group or CRO involved in the study.
