OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the potential effect of exenatide on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of lisinopril in patients with mild-to-moderate hypertension. METHODS:22 patients with mild-to-moderate primary hypertension participated in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, 2-period, 2-sequence crossover study. Patients on stable lisinopril therapy were randomly assigned to receive subcutaneous exenatide (10 microg b.i.d.) and placebo b.i.d. separated by at least 2 days washout period. The primary pharmacodynamic parameters were baseline-adjusted 24-hour mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Steady state plasma lisinopril concentration-time profiles were also assessed. RESULTS:Mean blood pressure changes were not significantly different between exenatide and placebo coadministered with lisinopril. The least squares mean differences (95% CI) between treatments were +1.38 mmHg (-1.41, 4.17) for diastolic and +1.38 mmHg (-1.95, 4.71) for systolic blood pressure. Exenatide delayed the time to attain maximum lisinopril concentration (tmax,ss) by 2 hours but did not significantly alter maximum lisinopril concentration (Cmax,ss) or area under the concentration-time profile (AUCtau,ss) over the 24-hour steady-state dosing interval. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that concurrent administration of exenatide did not produce clinically relevant changes in blood pressure and did not significantly alter lisinopril pharmacokinetics in patients with mild-to-moderate hypertension.
