`Subjects: The study was designed for 36 healthy volunteers, 12 in each of the three groups. The choice
`of sample size was based on power considerations and on results from previous studies of utilizing
`determination of QTC-prolongation in healthy subjects.
`
`Phenotyping for Cytochrome P-450 2D6 (Debrisoquine) and 2C19 (Mephenytoin) was performed prior to
`the study and the result was used in the inclusionlexclusion process. The procedure was as follows:
`
`After emptying the bladder at bedtime, each subject took one tablet of Mephenytoin (100 mg) and 1/2 a
`tablet Debrisoquine (10 mg) orally. Urine was collected over night and the concentration relation
`(metabolic ratio. MR) between Debrisoquine and 4-OH-Debrisoquine as well as the concentration relation
`between the enantiomers of mephenytoin (enantiomeric ratio, SIR) were determined by
`
`A subject with a metabolic ratio of more than 12.2 for Debrisoquine I 4-OH-Debrisoquine andlor a SIR
`enantiomeric ratio of mephenytoin of approximately 1 were considered as a poor metabolizer.

`ECG-variables
`Atropine treatment
`During atropinelplacebo treatment there were statistically significant differences between treatments for
`the ECG-.varlables HR, QT, QTc. TDUR and T-wave amplitude (positive defiection, +Tampl in leads I-Ill,
`aVF, V,-V5 and negative deflection, -Tampl in leads aVR and V.) as regards mean changes from baseline.
`I For the other ECG-variables investigated in this study (PDUR, PR. QRS and T-wave amplitude - positive
`and negative — in other leads than those mentioned above) no more than occasional statistically significant
`differences could be shfim. although there were tendencies to a decrease in mean value for several of
`these variables.
`

`
`The differences between placebo and atropine are fully expected. The increase in HR which is a result of
`the parasympathetic inhibition by atropine is logically followed by a shortening of several individual ECG
`parameters. The manual evaluation of T wave morphology in V” after atropine did not reveal any change
`in this parameter.
`/I
`
`Tolterodine treatment
`During tolterodine lplacebo treatment statistically significant differences between treatments as regards
`mean changes from baseline could be seen only on a few isolated occasions in time.
`HR was not influenced by 2 mg dosage level. With 4 mg, however, in less than half of the measurements.
`there was a statistically significant
`increase (range; 7-13 beatsimin,
`i.e. < 20%). These increases

`Blood pressure
`Atropine treatment
`During atropinelplacebo treatment there were statistically significant differences between treatments for
`diastolic blood pressure but not for systolic blood pressure as regards mean changes from baseline. Here,
`baseline was defined as the mean of the two replicate BP measurements recorded immediately before the
`first- iv. injection. These significant differences were present between 1 hour 15 min (after 3rd dose) and 2
`hours 15 min. (after the 5th close). For diastolic blood pressure there was an estimated average difference
`between atropine treated subjects and placebo treated subjects of about +10% (of baseline). An increase
`in diastolic blood pressure was expected. but its magnitude (6.1 - 8.9 mm Hg as a range) was somewhat
`higher than anticipated.
`
`Tolterodine treatment
`
`During tolterodine/placebo treatment there were no statistically significant differences between treatments;
`neither for diastolic nor for systolic blood pressure as regards mean changes from baseline other than on
`a few isolated occasions in time.
`
`The baseline was defined as the mean of the two replicate measurements recorded immediately before
`the first tablet intakegon day 1 of tolterodinelplacebo treatment.

`
`Subjects: 16 healthy male volunteers were enrolled
`
`Phenotyping for Cytochrome P-450 2D6 (Debrisoquine) and 2C19 (Mephenytoin) was performed prior to
`the study and the result was used in the inclusionlexclusion process. The procedure was as follows:
`
`After emptying the bladder at bedtime, each subject took one tablet of Mephenytoin (100 mg) and H2 a
`tablet Debrisoquine (10 mg) orally. Urine was collected over night and the concentration relation
`(metabolic ratio, MR) between Debrisoquine and 4-OH-Debrisoquine as well as the concentration relation
`between the enantiomers of mephenytoin (enantiomenc ratio, SIR) were determined by
`
`A subject with a metabolic ratio of more than 12.2 for Debrisoquine I 4—OH-Debrisoquine and/or a SIR

`
`Tolterodine L-tartrx-4 mg b.i.d. and 1.8 mg infusion has not created any kind of safety concern;
`-
`neither regarding cardiovascular evaluation. clinical chemistry. hematology, urinalysis, nor adverse events.
`-
`Tolterodine is highly and selectively metabolized by CYP2D6 to DD01.
`
`It seems that the higher tolterodine concentrations in the poor metabolizers compensate for the

`Analytical Methodology:
`
`Serum protein binding:
`The degree of in vivo binding to serum proteins was estimated for tolterodine and DD 01. The free
`concentration (Cu) and total serum concentration (Cs) were measured in the 1 hour serum sample after
`the last dose (day five, multiple dose session). Free fraction (fu) was to be estimated from the ratio of Cu
`to Cs. Free concentration, Cu, in serum was to be measured by means of equilibrium dialysis.
`
`RESULTS
`
`Safety: No treatment related effects on clinical laboratory safety variables were seen comparing screening
`to post-study assessment. No clinically significant findings were seen considering changes in QTc. or in
`the other measured ECG parameters .

`
`Objectives: The primary objective was to assess the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of tolterodine
`in elderly subjects at least 70 years of age. A secondary objective was to determine the serum
`concentrations of both tolterodine and DD 01. and a final objective was to assess the feasibility of
`administration of micturation charts in this age group.

`
`Kinetics after Repeat Dosing (Day 23): Steady-Stare
`Given the short half-life of tolterodine, its steady state was easily achieved by Day 28. The steady-state
`estimates (mean 1 SD) of C,,,,,,, were 2.4 (11.6) and 4.1 (13.8) ngImL, and were attained within 1 hr (Tm)
`post-1 and 2 mg doses (b.i.d regimen), respectively. For these two doses. the estimates of AUG“, were
`8.59 (1 4.87) and 13.5 (19.38) ng.hrImL. The t,Q,JL, was about 2 hr for both dose ievels, hence
`independent of dose. Weight normalized oral clearance (CL,,) at steady-state was 1.94 (11.69) and 2.61
`(12.42) Llhrlkg, while estimates of V,,,?t, were 5.69 (15.41) and 7.5 (15.9) L/kg following twice daily
`regimen of 1 and 2 mg doses, respectively, for 28 days.
`
`No statistically significant differences were apparent between the 1 and 2 mg dose levels in the dose-
`normalized estimates for tolterodine C,,,,,,, (p = 0.647), AUCo_,, (p = 0.909), CLO (p = 0.298) or V, (p =
`0.796). T,,,,,, (p = 0.867) and t,,,,;\, (p = 0.713) were unaltered. Lack of dose effect on kinetic parameters
`suggested dose-independent kinetics for the two dose levels.
`
`At steady state, the peak metabolite concentrations following both doses were similar to the C,,,,,,, of the
`parent drug. The estimates (mean 1 SD) of C,,,,,,, were 2.5 (11.5) and 3.9 (12.2) ngImL. which were

`to bioanalytical limitations, tolterodine kinetics could not be estimated for one PM (#102).
`
`Single versus Multiple Dose Pharmacokinetics
`Multiple oral dosing (steady—state) with 1 mg resulted in no significant changes (signed rank test) in
`tolterodine T,,,_.,,, (p = 0.25), C,,,,,,, (p = 0.867), AUCNZ (p = 0.432), t,,,,A,, (p = 0.695), CL,, (p = 0.509) or V, (p
`= 0.769) compared to the estimates following the first dose on Day 1. Similarly, no significant changes in
`pharmacokinetic parameters, attesting to a lack of accumulation, could be detected following the 2 mg

`accumulation factor) for C,,,,,, and AUC, estimating drug accumulation, were 1.05 and 1.25. respectively,
`following the 1 mg dose, while for the 2 mg dose these were 1.45 and 1.46.

`different (p = 0.211). The power was < 94% based on C,,,,,,, estimate. Obviously. two subjects
`with relatively high Cm, could account for increase in the mean Cm, (see 95% Cl). However, the
`steady-state (Day 28) mean AUCM for tolterodine following the 2 mg dose was significantly (p = 0.027)
`higher compared to the AUCM estimate following the first dose (Day 1).
`
`No significant changes were apparent in DD 01 kinetics following 1 and 2 mg doses of tolterodine that
`suggested drug accumulation.
`interestingly, the DD 01 t,,,,7l., estimate increased significantly (p = 0.019)
`at steady—state (Day 28) following the 2 mg dose.
`
`The ratio estimates for DD 01 C,,,,,, and AUC were 1.27, 1.15 (1 mg) and 1.12, 1.16 (2 mg), respectively,
`and did not suggest any accumulation. Overall, both the parent drug and the metabolite data failed to
`exhibit and support accumulation following 1 or 2 mg tolterodine b.i.d. regimen.
`
`Dose-proportionality Assessment
`The following analysis was perfomred in order to provide indications regarding dose proportionality or
`deviations from that and may serve as supportive data to a formal dose proportionality study. Figure 3
`shows AUC vs. tolterodine close regression (forced through zero) plots. Although limited in nature to
`address the dose—proportionality, these data are suggestive of proportionality based on single doses (r7 =
`0.183, slope = 4.95 [95% CI: 3.31-6.59]) and linear kinetics based on steady-state (r2 = 0.198, slope =
`7.10 (95% CI: 4.92-9.28]). The low coefficients of determination are reflective of the intersubject variability
`inherent in the magnitude of the extensive metabolizer phenotype. Given the degrees of freedom, the
`correlation coefficients for both regressions are statistically significant. The overlap (estimation error) in
`the slope estimates for the single and multiple dosing states appears to be related to this variation.
`
`Sponsor’s Conclusions:
`o
`Relative to the placebo. both 1 and 2 mg tolterodine doses administered on a b.i.d. regimen for 28
`days were well tolerated in elderly subjects (age; 270 years).
`
`-
`
`-
`
`Tolterodine and DD 01 kinetics in this cohort appear to be similar to those previously reported.
`
`Tolterodine kinetics following the 2 mg b.i.d. regimen suggested minor accumulation.
`
`There were no clinically significant findings with respect to safety variables,

`Sponsor's Conclusiorh:
`-
`Bioequivaience could not be concluded for tolterodine when given with and without food. A 53%
`increase in serum levels (AUC,) was seen when the drug was given with food.
`However, more "
`importantly, bioequivalence was shown for the active metabolite DD 01 with respect to both AUC, and
`CW, when treatment with food was compared to fasting administration.
`
`- Approximately 75 % of the systemically available tolterodine is metabolized to DD 01 by CYP2D6 in
`extensive metabolizers. This implies’that other routes of elimination have a minor contribution to the
`systemic clearance. In the pre
