Abstract :
Sitagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-4) inhibitor used for the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This randomized, placebo-controlled, 2-period, crossover study evaluated the effect of sitagliptin on the pharmacokinetics of 17 alpha-ethinyl estradiol (EE(2)) and norethindrone (NET) in healthy female subjects who were receiving oral contraceptives for >3 months prior to enrollment. A total of 18 subjects with normal menstrual cycles received the oral contraceptive pill ORTHO-NOVUM((R)) 7/7/7 on days 1 to 28 for 2 successive cycles, and on days 1 to 21 were randomly assigned to receive sitagliptin 200 mg/day (2 x 100 mg tablets) or placebo using a computer-generated allocation schedule. Blood samples for determination of plasma EE(2) and NET concentrations were collected predose and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, and 24 hours postdose on day 20 or 21 of each treatment period. The GMRs (90% confidence interval [CI]) for the AUC(0-24 hr) of EE(2) and NET were 0.99 (0.93, 1.06) and 1.03 (0.97, 1.09), respectively, and for C(max) were 0.97 (0.86, 1.10) and 0.98 (0.89, 1.07), respectively. The coadministration of sitagliptin 200 mg/day with an oral contraceptive for 21 days did not lead to clinically meaningful alterations in the pharmacokinetics of EE(2) and NET. |
