Inclusion criteria

  • Healthy adult male or female subjects between 20-45 years of age (inclusive) at the screening visit.
  • Body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 27 kg/m2 (not inclusive) at the screening visit.
  • Acceptable medical history and physical examination including:
  • no particular clinically significant abnormalities in ECG results within six months prior to Period I dosing.
  • no particular clinical significance in general disease history within two months prior to Period I dosing.
  • Acceptable biochemistry determinations (within normal limits or considered by the investigator or physician to be of no clinical significance) within two months prior to Period I dosing, which includes AST (SGOT), ALT (SGPT), γ-GT, alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, albumin, glucose, BUN, uric acid, creatinine, total cholesterol and triglyceride (TG).
  • Acceptable hematology (within normal limits or considered by the investigator or physician to be of no clinical significance) within two months prior to Period I dosing, which includes hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell count, white blood cell count with differentials and platelets.
  • Acceptable urinalysis (within normal limits or considered by the investigator or physician to be of no clinical significance) within two months prior to Period I dosing, which includes pH, blood, glucose, ketones, bilirubin and protein.
  • Female of childbearing potential practicing an acceptable method of birth control for the duration of the study.
  • Have signed the written informed consent to participate in the study.

Exclusion criteria

  • A clinically significant disorder involving the cardiovascular, respiratory, hepatic, renal, urinary tract, gastrointestinal, immunologic, hematologic, endocrine or neurologic system(s) or psychiatric disease.
  • A clinically significant illness or surgery within four weeks prior to Period I dosing.
  • History of gastrointestinal obstruction, inflammatory bowel disease, gallbladder disease, pancreas disorder over last two years or history of gastrointestinal tract surgery over last five years.
  • History of kidney disease or urination problem over last two years deemed by the investigator to be clinically significant.
  • Known or suspected history of drug abuse within lifetime.
  • History of alcohol addiction or abuse within last five years or use of more than 7 units of alcohol per week within two weeks prior to dosing. (1 unit of alcohol = 10 g of alcohol or about 350 mL of beer or about 83 mL of red wine or about 30 mL of beverage containing 40% (v/v) alcohol).
  • History of allergic response(s) to palonosetron or any other related drugs.
  • Evidence of chronic or acute infectious diseases.
  • Positive result for serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C antibody (HCVAb), or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
  • Female subjects demonstrating a positive pregnancy screen prior to the study.
  • Female subjects who are currently breastfeeding.
  • Taking any drug known to induce or inhibit hepatic drug metabolism within four weeks prior to Period I dosing. Examples of inducers include: piperidines, carbamazepine, dexamethasone and rifampin. Examples of inhibitors include: cimetidine, diphenhydramine, fluvastatin, methadone and ranitidine.
  • Taking any prescription medications within four weeks or any nonprescription medications (excluding flu vaccination) within two weeks prior to Period I dosing.
  • Use of any investigational drug within four weeks prior to Period I dosing.
  • Donating more than 250 mL of blood within two months prior to Period I dosing or donating plasma (e.g. plasmapheresis) within two weeks prior to Period I dosing.
  • Any other medical reason as determined by the investigator.

Primary outcomes

  1. Peak concentration (Cmax)

    Time frame: 0 (pre-dose), ≤2, 5, 15, and 30 minutes, and 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours post dose

    The two-sided 90% confidence interval for the difference of means in natural log-transformed Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ between test and reference drug will be calculated.

  2. Time to reach peak concentration (Tmax)

    Time frame: 0 (pre-dose), ≤2, 5, 15, and 30 minutes, and 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours post dose

    The two-sided 90% confidence interval for the difference of means in natural log-transformed Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ between test and reference drug will be calculated.

  3. Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to time of last quantifiable concentration (AUC0-t)

    Time frame: 0 (pre-dose), ≤2, 5, 15, and 30 minutes, and 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours post dose

    The two-sided 90% confidence interval for the difference of means in natural log-transformed Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ between test and reference drug will be calculated.

  4. Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUC0-∞)

    Time frame: 0 (pre-dose), ≤2, 5, 15, and 30 minutes, and 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours post dose

    The two-sided 90% confidence interval for the difference of means in natural log-transformed Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ between test and reference drug will be calculated.

  5. Elimination rate constant (入z)

    Time frame: 0 (pre-dose), ≤2, 5, 15, and 30 minutes, and 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours post dose

    The two-sided 90% confidence interval for the difference of means in natural log-transformed Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ between test and reference drug will be calculated.

  6. Terminal elimination half-life (t1/2)

    Time frame: 0 (pre-dose), ≤2, 5, 15, and 30 minutes, and 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours post dose

    The two-sided 90% confidence interval for the difference of means in natural log-transformed Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ between test and reference drug will be calculated.

  7. Ratio of AUC0-t to AUC0-∞

    Time frame: 0 (pre-dose), ≤2, 5, 15, and 30 minutes, and 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours post dose

    The two-sided 90% confidence interval for the difference of means in natural log-transformed Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ between test and reference drug will be calculated.
