The Company, in
concert with a Contract Research Organization ("CRO"), has completed a pivotal bioequivalence study for
Acurox™ Tablets (Study AP-ADF-104) using tablets from batches
manufactured by the Company at its Culver Facility at a scale of
sufficient size to fulfill the FDA’s requirements for a 505(b)(2) NDA
submission. Study AP-ADF-104 was a pivotal, single‑dose, open‑label,
randomized, two‑period crossover bioequivalence study conducted under
fasting conditions to compare the pharmacokinetic characteristics of
Acurox™ Tablets (oxycodone HCl, 5mg) to the FDA reference listed drug, Roxicodone® tablets,15 mg. Subjects received two separate drug
administrations in assigned periods, one treatment per period, according
to a randomization schedule. Dosing days were separated by a washout
period of at least 7 days. An equal number of subjects were randomly
assigned to each possible sequence of treatments. Drug administration
consisted of an oral dose of 3 x
Acurox™ Tablets or 1 x Roxicodone®
tablet, 15 mg. Thirty‑nine (39) of forty (40) healthy adult subjects
completed the study. The results demonstrated that
Acurox™ Tablets are
bioequivalent to Roxicodone® tablets. The 90% confidence intervals for
peak exposure based on ln(Cmax) and overall systemic exposure
based on ln(AUClast) and ln(AUCinf) of oxycodone
were well within the FDA’s acceptable range for bioequivalence. The
Company intends to include the data and results of Study AP-ADF-104 in
its 505(b)(2) NDA submission to the FDA for
Acurox™ Tablets.
