In this paper we show the application of the Tasso OnDemand™, a novel automated sample collection device, in conjunction with volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS) for the development of gefapixant, a P2X3 receptor antagonist currently under clinical development for the treatment of refractory and unexplained chronic cough and endometriosis-related pain. A LC–MS/MS bioanalytical method was developed and validated using VAMS to support this development program. This method was utilized in a drug–drug interaction study to establish a mathematical bridging relationship with data obtained from a validated plasma assay used to support the program. The VAMS bioanalytical method and the predictability of the mathematical relationship is reported and discussed here.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
