A new modified release (MR) formulation containing 30mg of gliclazide was developed to obtain a better predictable release of the active principle and to allow once-daily dosing regimen. An absolute bioavailability study was carried out to characterise the performance of the new formulation and the food-effect was also investigated in a separate study. Both studies were single dose, randomised, open label, two way cross over studies with a wash out period between doses. For the bioavailability study, each volunteer received 30mg of gliclazide given either as a 1 h intravenous infusion or as a 30mg MR tablet. For the food-effect study, the treatment was given either fasted or 10 min after the start of a standardised Melander breakfast. Blood samples were collected up to 72 h after administrations and plasma samples assayed for gliclazide concentrations using a reverse-phase HPLC method with UV detection. Mean absolute bioavailability of gliclazide was 97% and ranged between 79 and 110% showing complete absorption. A similar moderate to low variability was observed after IV and oral administration showing the MR formulation did not add to the overall variability which is solely due to the disposition parameters, in particular metabolism of gliclazide. No significant difference was observed in t(max), t(1/2z), C-max and AUC of gliclazide after administration of the 30mg MR tablet under fasted and fed conditions. In conclusion, after single oral administration of a 30mg MR tablet, gliclazide was completely absorbed both under fasted and fed conditions. A consistent and optimal release of gliclazide from this formulation leads to a low to moderate overall variability of its pharmacokinetic parameters. Diamicron 30mg MR can be given without regards to meals i.e. before, during or after breakfast. Copyright (C) 2002 John Wiley Sons, Ltd.
