Rotigotine, a non‐ergolinic dopamine receptor agonist administered transdermally via a patch, is metabolized by several cytochrome P‐450 (CYP450) isoenzymes, including CYP2C19. This open‐label, multiple‐dose study evaluated the effect of omeprazole, a competitive inhibitor of CYP2C19, on the pharmacokinetics of rotigotine and its metabolites under steady‐state conditions in healthy male subjects (of the extensive metabolizer phenotype, CYP2C19). Subjects received rotigotine 2 mg/24 hours on days 1–3, 4 mg/24 hours on days 4–12, and omeprazole 40 mg once daily on days 7–12 immediately after patch application. Blood and urine samples were collected on days 6 and 12 to evaluate rotigotine pharmacokinetic parameters alone and in the presence of omeprazole. Data from 37 subjects were available for pharmacokinetic analysis. Point estimates (90% confidence intervals, CI) for the ratios of AUC (0–24)SS and C max,SS of unconjugated rotigotine for the comparison rotigotine + omeprazole:rotigotine alone were close to 1 (0.9853 [0.9024, 1.0757] for AUC (0–24)SS and 1.0613 [0.9723, 1.1585] for C max,SS ) with 90% CIs within the acceptance range for bioequivalence (0.80, 1.25). Selective inhibition of CYP2C19 by omeprazole did not alter the steady‐state pharmacokinetic profile of rotigotine or its metabolites. Thus, rotigotine dose adjustment is not required in patients receiving omeprazole, or other CYP2C19 inhibitors.
