- Abstract
AIM: To evaluate the capacity for modafinil to be a perpetrator of metabolic drug-drug interactions by altering cytochrome P450 activity following a single dose and dosing to steady state. METHODS: A single centre, open label, single sequence cocktail drug interaction trial. On days 0, 2 and 8 participants were administered an oral drug cocktail comprising 100 mg caffeine, 30 mg dextromethorphan, 25 mg losartan, 1 mg midazolam and 20 mg enteric-coated omeprazole. Timed blood samples were collected prior to and for up to 6 h post cocktail dosing. Between days 2 and 8 participants orally self-administered 200 mg modafinil each morning. RESULTS: Following a single 200 mg dose of modafinil mean (+/- 95% CI) AUC ratios for caffeine, dextromethorphan, losartan, midazolam and omeprazole were 0.95 (+/- 0.08), 1.01 (+/- 0.35), 0.97 (+/- 0.10), 0.98 (+/- 0.10) and 1.36 (+/- 0.06), respectively. Following dosing of modafinil to steady state (200 mg for 7 days), AUC ratios for caffeine, dextromethorphan, losartan, midazolam and omeprazole were 0.90 (+/- 0.16), 0.79 (+/- 0.09), 0.98 (+/- 0.11), 0.66 (+/- 0.12) and 1.90 (+/- 0.53), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: These data support consideration of the risk of clinically relevant metabolic drug-drug interactions perpetrated by modafinil when this drug is co-administered with drugs that are primarily cleared by CYP2C19 (single modafinil dose or steady state modafinil dosing) or CYP3A4 (steady state modafinil dosing only) catalysed metabolic pathways.
