An Integrated Population Pharmacokinetic Analysis for Posaconazole Oral Suspension, Delayed-Release Tablet, and Intravenous Infusion in Healthy Volunteers

ConclusionsFor both oral posaconazole formulations, we quantified bioavailability and absorption rate, including food effects, in healthy volunteers. The pharmacokinetic superiority of the delayed-release tablet was demonstrated under both fed and fasted conditions, compared with the oral suspension. The impact of food on the bioavailability of the delayed-release tablet was larger than anticipated, suggesting that administering the delayed-release tablet with food enhances absorption.
