Dexmethylphenidate--Novartis/Celgene. Focalin, D-MPH, D-methylphenidate hydrochloride, D-methylphenidate, dexmethylphenidate, dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride.

Celgene has developed a chirally pure form of methylphenidate (Ritalin), called dexmethylphenidate [d-methylphenidate, d-methylphenidate hydrochloride, d-MPH; Focalin]. The drug has been launched in the USA and is undergoing registration in Canada for the treatment of children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Dexmethylphenidate is the single isomer version of racemic methylphenidate (Ritalin), which contains the active d isomer of Ritalin. Dexmethylphenidate acts via the inhibition of reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine. Research is ongoing to further clarify the mode of therapeutic action in ADHD. Dexmethylphenidate was developed with the aim of reducing drug load, adverse events and drug interactions. Dexmethylphenidate provides effective management of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder at half the dose of Ritalin. In April 2000, worldwide rights (excluding Canada) to dexmethylphenidate were granted to Novartis. Celgene has also granted Novartis rights to all related intellectual properties and patents. Novartis will fund all remaining development and marketing expenses required for regulatory approval and commercialisation of dexmethylphenidate. Crystaal Corporation, the marketing division of Biovail Corporation International, has exclusive Canadian marketing rights for all formulations of dexmethylphenidate. Novartis launched dexmethylphenidate (Focalin) in the USA during Q1 2002. It is available as a D-shaped tablet (2.5, 5 and 10 mg doses). Novartis had planned to use the tradename Ritadex, however the FDA recommended an alternative name due to potential prescribing errors with Ritalin. The finalized tradename to be used is Focalin. In July 2001, a new drug submission was filed with Canada's Therapeutic Products Programme for dexmethylphenidate in the treatment of attention-deficit disorder and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Novartis is also developing an extended-release version of chirally pure dexmethylphenidate. Dexmethylphenidate has been found to be effective and well tolerated in clinical trials, involving a total of 684 children with ADHD and in 15 healthy adult volunteers. Dexmethylphenidate is a schedule II drug.

Comparative Bioavailability of Trimodal (CTx-1301) Versus Bimodal Dexmethylphenidate Modified-Release Formulations in Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: A Randomized, Single-Dose, Crossover Study.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a chronic neurodevelopmental disorder that often requires sustained symptom control throughout the day. Although bimodal extended-release dexmethylphenidate (d-MPH XR) formulations provide initial and intermediate drug release, they may not consistently maintain therapeutic exposure into the late afternoon and evening. Trimodal formulations with an additional delayed release component may extend drug exposure later in the day, although this remains to be established. To explore differences in pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles between trimodal (CTx-1301) and bimodal delivery of d-MPH XR, a comparative bioavailability study was conducted at the highest and lowest doses for both formulations. METHODS: In this randomized, 4-period, crossover study, adults with ADHD received single doses of CTx-1301 (50 mg and 6.25 mg) and d-MPH XR (40 mg and 5 mg). Comparative bioavailability was assessed through adjusted geometric mean ratios for exposure parameters (maximum observed plasma concentration [Cmax], area under plasma concentration-time curve to last measurable concentration [AUClast] and extrapolated to infinity [AUC0-inf]), with a prespecified bioequivalence range of 0.80 to 1.25. Secondary endpoints included partial AUCs and safety assessments. RESULTS: The study population (N = 45) was predominantly male (88.9%) and White (55.6%), with mean age of 29.6 ± 8.01 years. Adjusted geometric mean ratios comparing the primary exposure parameters (Cmax, AUClast, and AUC0-inf) for CTx-1301 versus d-MPH XR were within the bioequivalence range (0.80-1.25) at both the high and low doses. The CTx-1301-to-d-MPH XR partial AUC ratios were within the bioequivalence range from 0 to 9 hours post-dose. At later intervals (AUC9-12 and AUC12-16), adjusted geometric mean ratios exceeded the upper bioequivalence threshold, consistent with the expected contribution of the third medication release component. Dose proportionality was observed between the two CTx-1301 doses and two d-MPH XR formulations. CTx-1301 was generally well tolerated. The most commonly reported adverse events included tachycardia, insomnia, headache, nausea, and euphoric mood. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events was numerically lower with CTx-1301 than with d-MPH XR; however, no statistical analysis was performed. CONCLUSIONS: Key exposure parameters including Cmax, AUClast, and AUC0-inf for trimodal CTx-1301 were statistically bioequivalent to bimodal d-MPH XR. Interval‑specific PK analyses demonstrated higher exposure with CTx‑1301 during later post-dose intervals (9-16 h), consistent with the formulation's third release component. However, the clinical relevance of these PK differences requires further evaluation. CTx-1301 demonstrated dose proportionality and was well tolerated at high and low doses.

Neurobehavioral effects of racemic threo-methylphenidate and its D and L enantiomers in rats.

D,L-methylphenidate (Ritalin) is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. The therapeutic effect is predominantly due to the d enantiomer. Dexmethylphenidate (D-MPH; Focalin) was therefore developed for its better therapeutic index. The present study determined and compared the acute behavioral toxicity of D,L-MPH, D-MPH and L-MPH in rats after oral dosing. Comprehensive functional observational battery (FOB) evaluations and rota-rod tests were performed 30, 60 and 120 min after dosing. Ten rats/sex/dose were administered a single dose of vehicle, 2, 20, 100 mg/kg D,L-MPH and 1, 10, 50 mg/kg D-MPH or 1, 100, 500 mg/kg L-MPH. There was no mortality. Certain FOB evaluations were statistically significant from vehicle control at any of the time points with most occurring at 60 and 120 min in the high D,L-MPH dose. These included increases in rearing, difficulty in removal from box, arousal, click, tail-pinch and decreases in hind-limb splay distance, hind-limb grip strength and handling reactivity. Behavioral responses were also present at the mid-dose D,L-MPH and high dose D- and L-MPH. Responses in female were significantly different from males in D,L- and L-MPH groups suggesting a sex difference in sensitivity. In the rota-rod test, mean latency to remain on the rod was significantly less for males compared to control given high dose D-MPH and D,L-MPH. In females, latency times were significantly less for high doses of all three compounds. In summary, fewer significant FOBs were seen with D- and L-MPH compared to equimolar doses of D,L-MPH. L-MPH was the least potent in producing FOBs. These results were supported by rota-rod studies.

D-Methylphenidate is non-genotoxic in in vitro and in vivo assays.

D-Methylphenidate (dexmethylphenidate; D-MPH) and its racemate D,L-methylphenidate (D,L-MPH) are currently prescribed for the chronic treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. Studies have shown that D-MPH is the pharmacologically active enantiomer for ADHD and is therefore the preferred drug for the treatment of ADHD symptoms. Although studies on the mutagenicity of D,L-MPH have been conducted, similar data for D-MPH are lacking. Therefore, D-MPH was evaluated in the bacterial reverse mutation and mouse lymphoma assays with and without S9 and in a bone marrow micronucleus test in male and female CD-1 mice. As a comparison, the L-enantiomer and racemate were also included in the assessments. While MPH-associated toxicity was observed in the mammalian tests, none of the three compounds tested induced mutagenic or clastogenic effects. Our present results along with published epidemiological data from patient populations are consistent with the conclusion that D-MPH and D,L-MPH do not present a carcinogenic risk to humans.

The use of a laboratory school protocol to evaluate concepts about efficacy and side effects of new formulations of stimulant medications.

Recently, new long-acting formulations of racemic methylphenidate (MPH: Ritalin LA, Metadate CD and Concerta) and amphetamine (AMP: Adderall XR) were developed and are now approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In addition, dexmethylphenidate (Focalin), the pharmacologically active d-threo enantiomer of MPH, also was approved by the FDA. In the initial phases of development, prototypes of these five new formulations were evaluated using the University of California, Irvine (UCI) Laboratory School Protocol (LSP), in which surrogate measures of efficacy are collected in highly controlled settings rather than clinical measures of effectiveness in the less-controlled, natural environments of home or school. The LSP studies were followed by large effectiveness and safety studies required for gaining FDA approval. These initial efficacy and side effect studies in the LSP provided missing information about the basic pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties of MPH and AMP and produced some new discoveries (i.e., acute tolerance) that were used to help design the final products. The final once-a-day formulations used different drug delivery systems to achieve long-acting efficacy (Ritalin LA, Metadate CD, Concerta, Adderall XR). All four drug delivery systems were based on two processes: first, a bolus delivery (BD) process to achieve rapid onset of efficacy (mg), and second, a controlled delivery (CD) process to achieve rates of delivery (mg/hr) or a delayed bolus (mg) to maintain efficacy. A theoretical approach was used to compare and contrast the new once-a day formulations of MPH by selecting total daily doses (mg/d) that would equate drug delivery by the first process (mg of the initial bolus) and the second process (mg/hr over specified time period). In addition to efficacy, applications of the LSP to measure common side effects related to eating and sleeping were described and discussed.

Dexmethylphenidate.

Dexmethylphenidate comprises only the d-enantiomer (the pharmacologically effective isomer) of racemic methylphenidate and is indicated for the treatment of patients aged > or =6 years with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In a 4-week, double-blind trial in 132 children with ADHD, significantly greater improvements from baseline in teacher-rated Swanson, Nolan and Pelham (SNAP)-ADHD scores were seen in dexmethylphenidate and methylphenidate recipients, compared with placebo recipients. In addition, significantly more dexmethylphenidate and methylphenidate recipients, compared with placebo recipients, were much improved or very much improved according to Clinical Global Impression-Improvement of Illness scale scores. In the same study, parent-rated SNAP-ADHD scores had decreased by a significantly greater extent in dexmethylphenidate recipients at 3pm and 6pm and in methylphenidate recipients at 3pm, compared with placebo recipients. Significantly fewer dexmethylphenidate than placebo recipients failed treatment in a double-blind, treatment-withdrawal trial in 75 children with ADHD (17.1 vs 61.5%). In a noncomparative study in 22 children with ADHD, symptoms of ADHD, as assessed by teachers and parents, were controlled during the entire school day in 68 and 86% of dexmethylphenidate recipients, respectively, with a median duration of effect of 6.3 and 7.5 hours, respectively. Dexmethylphenidate was generally well tolerated in children with ADHD; adverse events were consistent with those known to be associated with agents containing methylphenidate.
