Rotigotine, a non-ergolinic dopamine receptor agonist administered transdermally via a patch, is metabolized by several cytochrome P-450 (CYP450) isoenzymes, including CYP2C19. This open-label, multiple-dose study evaluated the effect of omeprazole, a competitive inhibitor of CYP2C19, on the pharmacokinetics of rotigotine and its metabolites under steady-state conditions in healthy male subjects (of the extensive metabolizer phenotype, CYP2C19). Subjects received rotigotine 2 mg/24 hours on days 1-3, 4 mg/24 hours on days 4-12, and omeprazole 40 mg once daily on days 7-12 immediately after patch application. Blood and urine samples were collected on days 6 and 12 to evaluate rotigotine pharmacokinetic parameters alone and in the presence of omeprazole. Data from 37 subjects were available for pharmacokinetic analysis. Point estimates (90% confidence intervals, CI) for the ratios of AUC(0-24)SS and Cmax,SS of unconjugated rotigotine for the comparison rotigotine + omeprazole:rotigotine alone were close to 1 (0.9853 [0.9024, 1.0757] for AUC(0-24)SS and 1.0613 [0.9723, 1.1585] for Cmax,SS ) with 90% CIs within the acceptance range for bioequivalence (0.80, 1.25). Selective inhibition of CYP2C19 by omeprazole did not alter the steady-state pharmacokinetic profile of rotigotine or its metabolites. Thus, rotigotine dose adjustment is not required in patients receiving omeprazole, or other CYP2C19 inhibitors.
