Anastrozole is a third-generation aromatase inhibitor that exerts potent anti-breast cancer effects. This trial aimed to explore the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety with bioequivalence of orally administered anastrozole provided by 2 sponsors in healthy volunteers.Two separate open-label, randomized, single-dose, crossover-design studies consisting of a fasting study (n = 23) and a fed study (n = 23, 1 participant withdrew before taking medication) were conducted. In each study, healthy volunteers were randomized to receive the test product (Haizheng Pharmaceutical Group) followed by the reference drug (AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP), or vice versa. Each study subject received a 1-mg anastrozole tablet with a 21-day washout. The plasma concentrations of anastrozole were measured with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and PK parameters were determined by noncompartmental analysis. Forty-six healthy female volunteers were enrolled. For patients enrolled in the fasting study, the mean age was 55.0 years, mean weight was 57.1 kg, mean body mass index was 23.6 kg/m2 , and mean height was 155.5 cm. For patients enrolled in the fed study, the mean age was 54.2 years, mean weight was 55.9 kg, mean body mass index was 23.9 kg/m2, and mean height was 152.8 cm. All PK end points met the predefined criteria for PK equivalence. In fasting subjects, the median maximum plasma concentration was 23.4 and 22.6 at 1 hour for test and reference formulations, respectively. The maximum plasma concentration in fed subjects was 18.7 and 18.5 at 4 hours for test and reference formulations, respectively. Both fasting and fed studies achieved plausible bioequivalence. Anastrozole was well tolerated and exhibited a favorable safety profile at the prescribed doses. The severity of observed adverse events assessed according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (version CTCAE4.03) was mild, and some of the adverse events were not caused by anastrozole. Furthermore, the results of our study under fasting and fed conditions demonstrated bioequivalence of the test and reference products.

D018592 Cross-Over Studies Studies comparing two or more treatments or interventions in which the subjects or patients, upon completion of the course of one treatment, are switched to another. In the case of two treatments, A and B, half the subjects are randomly allocated to receive these in the order A, B and half to receive them in the order B, A. A criticism of this design is that effects of the first treatment may carry over into the period when the second is given.
