초록

배경: 레트로졸은 유방암 치료에 사용되는 경구용 비스테로이드성 aromatase 억제제이다. 방법: 이 연구는 건강한 성인 남성을 대상으로 무작위 배정, 단회 투여, 공개설계로서 두 치료군, 두 순서, 두 시기의 교차 시험법으로 진행되었다. 각 순서군에 13명씩 무작위 배정되어, 한군은 1기에 페마라$^{(R)}$정(대조약)을, 2기에 유한 레트로졸정(시험약)을, 다른 한군은 반대 순서로 두 시기 사이에 약 5주의 휴약기를 가지고 각각 2.5 mg정 1정씩 투여 받았다. 약동학 분석을 위한 혈액 검체는 공복 상태에서 투약 후 312 시간까지 얻어졌다. 레트로졸의 혈장 내 농도는 liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry를 이용하여 측정하였다. 안전성 평가는 활력징후, 문진 및 신체검사, 심전도, 진단검사실 검사와 이상반응 모니터링을 통하여 이루어졌다. 결과: 총 26명의 피험자가 연구를 완료하였고, 약동학 분석에 26명의 자료가 모두 사용되었다. $C_{max}$$AUC_{last}$ 파라미터에 대한 시험약과 대조약의 기하평균비는 각각 0.92 (90 % 신뢰구간: 0.85 - 0.99)와 1.01 (90 % 신뢰구간: 0.97 - 1.04)였다. 보고된 중대한 이상반응은 없었으며, 임상적으로 유의한 변화도 관찰되지 않았다. 결론: 건강한 자원자에서 페마라$^{(R)}$정과 유한 레트로졸정의 약동학 특성과 안전성은 유사하였다.

Background: Letrozole is an oral non-steroidal inhibitor of the aromatase enzyme, which has proven to be a useful drug against breast cancer. Methods: This single-dose, randomized $2{\times}2$ crossover study was conducted in healthy male volunteers. Participants of each sequence group (each 13 volunteers for sequence group) received, in randomized sequence, a single oral 2.5-mg dose of generic letrozole (test) or branded letrozole (reference). Each treatment period was separated by a 5-week washout period. Blood samples were collected for up to 312 hours after drug administration, and drug concentrations were determined using validated LC/MS-MS. Pharmacokinetic properties were obtained using noncompartmental analysis. Drug tolerability was assessed throughout the study, using measurements of vital signs, physical examination, clinical chemistry testing, EKG, and interviews. Results: A total of 26 subjects completed the study. The geometric mean ratios (90% CI) of $C_{max}$ and $AUC_{last}$ were 0.92 (0.85 - 0.99) and 1.01 (0.97 - 1.04), respectively. No serious AEs were reported, and there were no clinically significant differences between test and reference groups. Conclusion: The findings from this study suggest bioequivalence between two formulations of letrozole in healthy male volunteers. The safety profile of two formulations had similar characteristics.
