Abstract
2017 Background: LEP-ETU is an easy-to-use liposomal formulation of paclitaxel developed to reduce toxicities associated with the excipient polyoxyethylated castor oil that is used in paclitaxel (Taxol [T]), while maintaining or enhancing efficacy. A phase I study of LEP-ETU demonstrated an MTD of 325 mg/m2 and a similar PK profile at a dose of 175 mg/m2 compared to published T data (Damjanov et al, J Clin Oncol 2005;23 Suppl:147s). Methods: This randomized, two-period crossover, clinical BE study was designed to directly compare the PK of paclitaxel following intravenous administration of LEP-ETU and T delivered over 180 minutes at a dose of 175 mg/m2 in patients with a variety of advanced solid tumors. Patients were randomized to receive either one treatment cycle of LEP-ETU followed by one cycle of T, or one cycle of T followed by one cycle of LEP-ETU. Eligible patients were permitted to continue LEP-ETU treatment in an extension study. Results: Fifty-eight patients were treated, and 32 evaluable patients were analyzed for BE. The latter group of patients met pre-specified evaluability criteria of having received 100% of each dose during the specified administration interval and having had the necessary blood samples drawn to determine Cmax and AUC. Mean total paclitaxel Cmax values for LEP-ETU and T were 4955.0 ng/mL and 5108.8 ng/mL, respectively. Mean total paclitaxel AUC0–8 values for LEP-ETU and T were 15853.8 ng·h/mL and 18550.8 ng·h/mL, respectively. Ratios of the geometric means of LEP-ETU divided by T for Cmax were 97% (90% CI, 91%-103%) and for AUC0–8 were 84% (90% CI, 80%-90%). These results meet the established 80–125% BE criteria. The most frequently reported adverse events were fatigue, alopecia, and myalgia. Of the 37 patients deemed suitable to continue LEP-ETU treatment in the extension study, 57% have received = 4 cycles of LEP-ETU with at least stable disease. Conclusion: LEP-ETU has met BE criteria compared to T. A comparative efficacy and safety study of LEP-ETU and T at a dose of 175 mg/m2 has been planned to confirm the potential of LEP-ETU to have comparable or improved treatment effect with a better safety profile than T.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 regimens of tiagabine as add-on therapy for patients with complex partial seizures (CPSs) that are refractory to other treatment. DESIGN Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, add-on, parallel-group trial with an 8-week baseline period, 12-week experimental period (4 weeks of dose titration and 8 weeks of fixed-dose therapy), and 4-week termination period. SETTING Twenty-six centers throughout the United States. PATIENTS Three hundred fifty-one patients were enrolled, 318 were entered in the double-blind period, and 271 completed the study. INTERVENTIONS Tiagabine, 16 mg 2 times per day (106 patients); tiagabine, 8 mg 4 times daily (105 patients); and placebo (107 patients). The doses of tiagabine were titrated in 3 steps to the fixed dose. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE The median change in the 4-week rate of CPSs from baseline to experimental period. RESULTS The median change from baseline was -1.6 CPSs per 4 weeks in the group of patients who were given tiagabine 2 times per day, and it was -1.2 CPSs in the group of patients who were given tiagabine 4 time per day (P = .06 and P = .02, respectively, compared with placebo). The 4-week seizure frequency was reduced by 50% or more in 31% of the patients who were given tiagabine 2 times per day and in 27% of the patients who were given tiagabine 4 times per day vs 10% of the placebo-treated patients (P < or = .001 for each tiagabine-treated group compared with the placebo group). The most frequent adverse events involved the central nervous system and occurred in comparable proportions in the 3 treatment groups. Similar proportions of patients discontinued the study prematurely for adverse events. CONCLUSIONS Tiagabine administered 2 and 4 times daily as add-on pharmacotherapy was effective in reducing CPSs in patients with epilepsy whose conditions were refractory to treatment with other antiepileptic agents, and it was well tolerated.
