Full-Profile Pharmacokinetic Study of High Dose Baclofen in Subjects With Alcohol Use Disorder
Résumé
Baclofen a gamma amino-butyric acid type B (GABA-B) receptor agonist, which has raised some interest for the treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD), occasionally at dose up to 300 mg/d. We conducted the first full-profile pharmacokinetic study on baclofen in AUD subjects, up to the oral daily dose of 300mg. Sixty subjects treated for AUD with marketed baclofen were enrolled in a prospective phase-1 study. Participants were divided into four dose groups (1 < 60 mg/d; 2 60-120 mg/d; 3 > 120 mg/d-180 mg/d; and 4 > 180 mg/d), and they underwent a full-profile pharmacokinetic analysis of baclofen, using a nonlinear mixed effects modeling. The influence of different clinical and biological covariates was assessed in an upward modeling. Fifty-seven participants completed the study (522 observed concentrations collected). Racemic baclofen showed a linear pharmacokinetic profile, corresponding to a one-compartment model, with no influencing clinical or biological factor. The pharmacokinetic parameters of baclofen were (bootstrap 95% confidence intervals) absorption constant (Ka) 1.64 1/h (1.34-2), clearance (Cl/F) 11.6 L/h (10.8-12.3) and volume of distribution (Vd/F) 72.8 L (66.5-80.4) leading to a half-life of 4.4 h. The interindividual variability (IIV) was 44% (19-65), 21% (16-27), and 22% (11-36) for Ka, Cl/F, and Vd/F, respectively. The residual variability was 24% (21-26). No serious adverse event was reported.
