摘要

While external factors can significantly influence the rate and extent of drug absorption from transdermal products, some of these factors are not typically accounted for in the development process. In this study, oxybutynin gel (OXY GEL) was used as a model formulation to understand the impact of a short 3 h occlusion period on the oxybutynin absorption profile both in vitro and in vivo. Using the in vitro permeation test (IVPT) design with skin from 4 human donors, OXY GEL provided significantly greater flux and cumulative amounts of oxybutynin after occlusion was applied, as compared to the unoccluded formulation. These results were in agreement with the clinical pharmacokinetic (PK) study conducted with 12 healthy volunteers when temperature, dosing, and timepoints were harmonized between in vitro and in vivo studies to help develop an in vitro-in vivo correlation (IVIVC). Described herein are the IVPT and clinical PK study methods and results used to establish the Level A IVIVC.
