Abstract
The physiological changes following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery may impact drug release from mechanistically different controlled-release tablets, making generic substitution inappropriate. This study aimed to characterise the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationships of oxycodone from a lipid-based and water-swellable controlled-release tablet in RYGB patients. Twenty RYGB patients received 10-mg oral solution oxycodone or 20-mg controlled-release (water-swellable or lipid-based) oxycodone in a three-way, randomised, semiblinded and cross-over study. Blood sampling and pupillary recordings were conducted over a 24-h period. A previously established pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model of these three formulations in healthy volunteers was used in the analysis as a reference model. No differences in absorption kinetics were seen between controlled-release formulations in patients. However, the absorption lag time was 11.5 min in patients vs 14 min in healthy volunteers for controlled-release tablets (P
