摘要
BACKGROUND: Omega-3 carboxylic acids (OM3-CA) can lower triglyceride levels. OM3-CA is often prescribed concomitantly with a 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitor (statin). OBJECTIVE: The aim of the article was to assess the potential for pharmacokinetic interaction between OM3-CA and the statins rosuvastatin and simvastatin. METHODS: Data from 2 phase I studies (ECLIPSE III and OM-EPA-007 [NCT01486433]) were analyzed. In ECLIPSE III, 59 participants received OM3-CA 4 g once daily for 13 days, with rosuvastatin 40 mg (single dose) co-administered with the 11th dose. In OM-EPA-007, 52 participants received simvastatin 40 mg plus acetylsalicylic acid 81 mg daily for 14 days, with or without OM3-CA. Lack of a drug-drug interaction was declared if the 90% confidence interval (CI) of the geometric least-squares mean ratio of pharmacokinetic parameters was in the range 80% to 125%. RESULTS: For rosuvastatin, values for the geometric mean ratio (90% CI) with:without OM3-CA were 86.38% (80.68-92.48), 90.50% (85.99-95.25), and 89.01% (84.30-93.98), respectively, for maximum plasma concentration (C-max), area under the concentration-time curve up to last measurable concentration (AUC(0-t)) and extrapolated to infinity (AUC(0-inf)). Co-administration with a single dose of rosuvastatin did not affect the multiple-dose pharmacokinetics of constituent OM3-CA fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. For simvastatin, values for steady state geometric mean ratio (90% CI) with:without OM3-CA were 91.61% (82.82-101.33) and 87.47% (80.19-95.41), respectively, for C-max and AUC(0-t). No deaths or serious adverse events occurred in either trial. CONCLUSION: OM3-CA can be administered with either rosuvastatin or simvastatin without affecting the pharmacokinetics of these statins.
