Summary

This study is designed to provide data to the FDA correlating pharmacokinetics with local availability of medications within the gastrointestinal tract. This study will support the establishment of scientifically based standards for evaluating drugs which act locally within the gastrointestinal tract. Specific objectives of this study are to: (1) quantify how the plasma concentrations of mesalamine, an agent used to treat inflammatory bowel disease, are correlated with the concentrations in gastrointestinal fluids; and (2) improve the physiologically based models for drug absorption from the intestine. Information from this study in concert with in vitro dissolution data will be used to evaluate in vivo-in vitro correlation (IVIVC) for concentrations in plasma and intestinal lumen and dissolution of mesalamine products.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Adults age 18 to 55.
  • Male or female voluntarily able to give informed consent.
  • Body mass index (BMI) 18.5 to 35.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Adults unable to consent for themselves or mentally incapacitated.
  • Prisoners.

  • History of gastrointestinal surgery.
  • History of allergy to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or to any of the ingredients of Asacol, Pentasa, Apriso, or Lialda.
  • History of severe allergic diseases including drug allergies, with the exception of seasonal allergies.
  • Any other factor, condition, or disease, including, but not limited to, cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, or gastrointestinal disorders that may, in the opinion of the Investigator, jeopardize the safety of the patient or impact the validity of the study results.
