RESUMO
A Gamma Variant RBD-based aluminum hydroxide adjuvanted vaccine called ARVAC CG was selected for a first in human clinical trial. Healthy male and female participants (18-55 years old) with a complete COVID-19-primary vaccine scheme were assigned to receive two intramuscular doses of either a low-dose or a high-dose of ARVAC CG. The primary endpoint was safety. The secondary objective was humoral immunogenicity. Cellular immune responses were studied as an exploratory objective. The trial was prospectively registered in PRIISA.BA (Registration Code 6564) and ANMAT and retrospectively registered in ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05656508). Samples from participants of a surveillance strategy implemented by the Ministry of Health of the Province of Buenos Aires that were boosted with BNT162b2 were also analyzed to compare with the booster effect of ARVAC CG. ARVAC CG exhibits a satisfactory safety profile, a robust and broad booster response of neutralizing antibodies against the Ancestral strain of SARS-CoV-2 and the Gamma, Delta, Omicron BA.1 and Omicron BA.5 variants of concern and a booster effect on T cell immunity in individuals previously immunized with different COVID-19 vaccine platforms.

Saquinavir (SAQ) mesylate (CAS 149845-06-7) is a potent inhibitor of the HIV-1 protease indicated in combination with other antiretrovirals for the management of HIV-1 infection. The objective of this study was to compare rate and extent of absorption and to assess the bioequivalence between a new pharmaceutical equivalent tablet formulation containing 500 mg of SAQ mesylate and the innovator film coated tablet formulation. A randomized, single-center, open-label, two-treatment, two-sequence, three-period, replicated crossover bioequivalence study in 40 healthy male subjects was conducted. All subjects received 100 mg ritonavir (CAS 155213-67-5) twice daily for a run-in period of 3 days before treatment. Dosing was separated by a wash-out period of 14 days. Blood samples were collected over 72 h and plasma levels of SAQ were determined by a validated HPLC/UV assay. The 90% confidence interval (CI) of the ratio of the geometric means for log-transformed C(max), AUC(last) and AUC(inf) values were used to assess bioequivalence using the equivalence interval of 80-125%. Point estimate and 90% CI of the ratios of C(max), AUC(last) and AUC(inf) values were 94.9 (80.9-111.3), 97.4 (82.4-115.4) and 97.4 (82.5-115.0), respectively. Both treatments exhibited similar tolerability and safety. It was concluded that the new pharmaceutical product was bioequivalent to the innovator.

Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF, CAS 147127-20-6) is a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor which is indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the management of HIV-1 infection. The objective of this study was to compare the rate and extent of absorption and to assess the bioequivalence between a new pharmaceutical equivalent tablet formulation containing 300 mg of TDF and the innovator product. A randomized, single-center, open-label, single-dose, two-way crossover bioequivalence study in 40 healthy adult subjects was conducted. Dosing was separated by a wash-out period of 14 days. Blood samples were collected over 48 h and plasma levels of tenofovir (TFV) were determined by a validated HPLC assay. Rate and extent of absorption were similar between products. The 90% confidence interval (CI) of the ratio of the geometric means for log-transformed C(max), AUC(last) and AUC(inf) values were used to assess bioequivalence between the two formulations using the equivalence interval of 80 and 125%. In healthy subjects, the point estimate and 90% CI of the ratios of C(max), AUC(last) and AUC(inf) values were 0.99 (0.92-1.02), 0.99 (0.95-1.03) and 0.93 (0.85-1.02), respectively. Both treatments exhibited similar tolerability and safety. It was concluded that the new pharmaceutical product was bioequivalent to the innovator.
