Class III antiarrhythmics are preferred therapy for managing atrial fibrillation/flutter. Dofetilide 0.5-mg capsules were US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved in 1999 to treat atrial fibrillation/flutter. Bioequivalence of generic dofetilide is important for treating arrhythmias because drug concentrations must be consistent to maintain normal sinus rhythm. Generic dofetilide 0.5-mg capsule pharmacokinetics were compared with branded product in 2 open-label, 2-way crossover, single-dose studies - 1 study each in fasted and fed healthy subjects. Blood samples were collected before and up to 48 hours after dosing. Safety was assessed by tabulating adverse events and vital signs. Seventy-three subjects were enrolled; 59 completed the studies. In fasted subjects, the 90% confidence intervals (CIs) for generic dofetilide 0.5 mg versus the reference formulation were 0.996-1.026 for the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to infinity (AUC) and 0.974-1.066 for the maximum observed concentration (Cmax ). In fed subjects, the 90%CIs for AUC and Cmax were 0.988-1.015 and 0.928-0.992, respectively. All ratios were within the FDA-established bioequivalence range. Twenty-six subjects experienced 37 adverse events (generic, 15; reference, 22); all but 1 were mild or moderate in severity. Generic dofetilide 0.5-mg capsules can be considered bioequivalent to the reference product.
