Brief Summary

Budesonide is a well-known and well-characterised locally acting glucocorticosteroid with comparable efficacy to that of conventional glucocorticosteroids, but with fewer systemic side effects due to its low bioavailability following oral administration.

There are no benefits for subjects participating in this pharmacokinetic (PK) profile and safety study. This is an open-label study to investigate the PK profile and safety of single oral dose of budesonide prolonged release tablets (9 mg, Cortiment® MMX [multi-matrix system]) in healthy subjects in Indian population.

Two study visits are planned: One out-patient visit (screening) and one residential session consisting of three consecutive nights (admission to the clinical investigation unit at least 12 hours before dosing and discharge approximately 60 hours after dosing). End-of-study assessments will be performed before discharge from the clinical investigation unit in the single dosing period. Subjects should be in the fasted state for at least 10 hours pre-dose.

Number of subjects planned in total in the study are 24 men and women, with a minimum requirement of 7 women. The safety assessments comprise of adverse events (AEs), vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG) and clinical laboratory variables. Adverse events will be collected throughout the study.

• Negative serum pregnancy test (for females) at screening and on Day -1.
• Regular intestinal function; no constipation and no diarrhea.
• Has given written informed consent prior to any study-related activity is performed.
• Full comprehension: ability to comprehend the full nature and purpose of the study, including possible risks and side effects; ability to co-operate with the investigator and to comply with the requirements of the entire study.
• Negative alcohol test, urine drug screen test on the day of screening and the day before dosing.
• Non-smokers.
• Agree to use double-barrier contraception or intra-uterine device, intra-uterine system, combined oral contraceptive pill associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, intravaginal, transdermal), progesterone-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, injectable, implantable) during the study if not abstinent. Previous surgical sterilization of subject or their sexual partner (bilateral tubal ligation, vasectomy) also represents a permissible form of contraception. Methods of double barrier contraception include use of the male condom together with female condom or cervical cap or diaphragm.

Exclusion Criteria

• Allergy: Ascertained or presumptive hypersensitivity to the active principle, lecithin (derived from soya oil, peanut oil) and/or other formulations' ingredients; history of anaphylaxis to drugs or allergic reactions in general, which the investigator considers may affect the outcome of the study.
• Diseases: Presence or relevant history of renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal (GI), cardiovascular, haematological, respiratory or any other body system, any recent or ongoing infections or endocrine or neurologic diseases that may interfere with the aim of the study. Particularly, history of GI diseases, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), intolerance to lactose; neoplasias.
• Medications: medication, including over-the-counter (OTC) and CYP3A4 inducers/inhibitors or herbal medication, during 2 weeks or five half-lives of the drug, whichever is longer, prior to screening; in particular, drugs affecting GI physiology. Allowed medications included acetaminophen/paracetamol and cromoglycate eye drops according to label, hormonal contraceptives for fertile women.
• Previous or current budesonide treatment.
• Use of live vaccine within 4 weeks prior to dosing.
• Life style: history (within the last two years) or present abuse of drug, alcohol [defined as regular intake of more than 14 units weekly for men /7 units weekly for women - one unit of alcohol equals about 300 mL of beer or lager, one glass (100 mL) of wine, or 25 mL spirits].
• Current smokers or subjects who have smoked within last six months prior to start of the study.
• Consumption of Grapefruits or its products within a period of one-week prior to receiving the study drug.
• Consumption of poppy seeds (e.g., poppy cake) and betel nuts at least seven days at least seven days before receiving the trial drug.

• Female subjects who are pregnant, breastfeeding or intend to become pregnant.
• Any medical or surgical condition that may interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of the drug, as judged by the investigator.

• Receipt of an investigational medicinal product or participation in a drug research study within a period of 90 days prior to the first dose of study medication.

If investigational medicinal product is received within 90 days where there is no blood loss except safety lab testing, subject can be included considering 10 half-lives duration of investigational medicinal product received.

• A mental condition, the lack of decision-making ability, dementia or a speech handicap, which, in the judgement of the Investigator, would impair the participation of the subjects in the study.
• Any other reasons, which will make clinical study participation inappropriate with the decision of the investigator.
• The presence of clinically significant abnormal laboratory values during screening.
• Difficulty in swallowing solids dosage forms like tablets or capsules.
• Previous participation in a budesonide study.
• History of diabetes and/or hyperglycemia.
