Inter-study variability of preclinical in vivo safety studies and translational exposure-QTc relationships--a PKPD meta-analysis.


ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Preclinical cardiovascular safety studies (CVS) have been compared between facilities with respect to their sensitivity to detect drug-induced QTc prolongation (?QTc). Little is known about the consistency of quantitative ?QTc predictions that are relevant for translation to humans.

Experimental approach

We derived typical ?QTc predictions at therapeutic exposure (?QTcTHER ) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) for 3 Kv 11.1 (hERG) channel blockers (moxifloxacin, dofetilide and sotalol) from a total of 14 CVS with variable designs in the conscious dog. Population pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PKPD) analysis of each study was followed by a meta-analysis (pooling 2-6 studies including 10-32 dogs per compound) to derive meta-predictions of typical ?QTcTHER . Meta-predictions were used as a reference to evaluate the consistency of study predictions and to relate results to those found in the clinical literature.

Key results

The 95%CIs of study-predicted ?QTcTHER comprised in 13 out of 14 cases the meta-prediction. Overall inter-study variability (mean deviation from meta-prediction at upper level of therapeutic exposure) was 30% (range: 1-69%). Meta-?QTcTHER predictions for moxifloxacin, dofetilide and sotalol overlapped with reported clinical QTc prolongation when expressed as %-prolongation from baseline.

Conclusions and implications

Consistent exposure-?QTc predictions were obtained from single preclinical dog studies of highly variable designs by systematic PKPD analysis, which is suitable for translational purposes. The good preclinical-clinical pharmacodynamic correlations obtained suggest that such an analysis should be more routinely applied to increase the informative and predictive value of results obtained from animal experiments.
