Better characterization of vinflunine pharmacokinetics variability and exposure/toxicity relationship to improve its use: Analyses from 18 trials.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Vinflunine is a novel tubulin-targeted inhibitor indicated as a single agent for the treatment of bladder cancers after failure of prior platinum-based therapy. Its pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) have been independently characterized through several phase I and phase II studies. However, no global pharmacometric analysis had been conducted as yet.

Methods

Vinflunine concentrations and safety data from 18 phase I and phase II studies were used to conduct population PK and PK/PD analysis, using Nonmem. A four-compartment model was used to describe vinflunine PK and several covariates were tested to explain interindividual variability. In terms of PK/PD relationship, a semiphysiological population PK/PD model was applied to describe time course of absolute neutrophil counts (ANC) after vinflunine administration and logistic regression models were used to test the relationship between vinflunine exposure and toxicities.

Results

Vinflunine clearance is explained by creatinine clearance, body surface area and combination with PEGylated doxorubicin, leading to a decrease from 28.2 to 25.3% of the interindividual variability. When vinflunine dose is decreased, simulations of ANC time course (via a semiphysiological model) after vinflunine administration show a risk of neutropenia grade 3-4 at cycle 2 always lower than when dose is delayed. As an example, for moderate renal impaired patients, the risk is 42.1% when vinflunine is dosed at 320 mg m^-2 once every 4 weeks vs. 23.3% for 280 mg m^-2 once every 3 weeks.

Conclusions

We propose for the first time a global comprehensive clinical pharmacological analysis for intravenous vinflunine that may help drive dose adjustment.

Project description:To compare the characteristics, quality and treatment effects of randomised clinical trials (RCTs) by individual patient data (IPD) availability, in trials eligible for 18 IPD meta-analyses (MA).Trial characteristics, risk of bias (RoB) and hazard ratio (HR) for overall survival were extracted from IPD-MA publications and/or RCTs publications. Data for the RoB assessment were extracted for a subset of 73 RCTs. Two investigators blinded to whether IPD was available or not evaluated the RoB for these trials. Treatment effects were compared using ratios of global HRs (RHRs) of IPD-unavailable trials and IPD-available trials. RHR were pooled using a fixed-effect model.We examined the IPD availability for each trial eligible for each IPD-MA; when the IPD was not available for a trial, we used information from published sources.We selected all published IPD-MAs conducted at Gustave Roussy and the RCTs eligible for each.349 RCTs (73?018 patients) from 18 MAs were eligible: 60 RCTs (5890 patients) had unavailable IPD and 289 RCTs (67?128 patients) had available IPD. The main reason for IPD unavailability was data loss by investigators. IPD-unavailable trials were smaller (p<0.001), more often monocentric (p<0.001) and non-international (p=0.0004) than IPD-available trials. Geographical areas differed (p=0.054) between IPD-unavailable IPD-available trials. RoB was higher in IPD-unavailable RCTs for random sequence generation (p=0.007) and allocation concealment (p=0.006). The HR and 95% confidence interval (CI) for overall survival were extractable from publications in 23/60 IPD-unavailable trials included in 10 different MAs. Treatment effects were significantly greater for IPD-unavailable trials compared with IPD-available trials (RHR=0.86 (95% CI 0.75 to 0.98)).IPD-unavailable RCTs were significantly different from IPD-available RCTs in terms of trial characteristics and were at greater RoB. IPD-unavailable RCTs had a significantly greater treatment effect.

Project description:To identify factors associated with variability in rifampin plasma pharmacokinetics and explore the relationship between rifampin pharmacokinetics and change in efavirenz plasma pharmacokinetics with rifampin coadministration.In this randomized, cross-over study, 12 healthy volunteers received either efavirenz 600 mg/day or efavirenz 600 mg with rifampin 600 mg/day for 8 days. After a washout period of at least 2 weeks, subjects crossed over to the alternate 8-day regimen. Samples were obtained for pharmacokinetic assessment on day 8 of each study cycle. Drugs concentrations were determined by a validated high-performance liquid chromatography. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using noncompartmental analysis. Multivariate analysis was used to examine factors associated with rifampin pharmacokinetics. Spearman correlation analysis was used to investigate relationship between rifampin pharmacokinetics and change in efavirenz plasma pharmacokinetics with rifampin coadministration.Of 11 evaluable subjects, the median interquartile range, rifampin peak concentration (Cmax) , area under the concentration-time curve (AUC0-24 hour ), and weight-normalized clearance were 8.9 (7.3-13.8) ?g/ml, 48.8 (29.6-67.4) ?g·h/ml, and 0.19 (0.11-0.29) L/h/kg, respectively. Solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1 (SLCO1B1) c.388A?G and SLCO1B1 c.463C?A polymorphisms jointly had significant effect on rifampin Cmax (R(2) = 0.75). Male sex and SLCO1B1 c.463C?A polymorphism together influenced rifampin AUC0-24 hour (R(2) = 0.52) and weight-normalized clearance (R(2) = 0.65). All four volunteers with rifampin Cmax less than 8 ?g/ml (lower end of the normal range) had c.463CA genotype. Rifampin Cmax and AUC0-24 hour had no significant relationship with the efavirenz AUC0-24 hour ratio or weight-normalized clearance ratio in the presence versus absence of rifampin (p>0.05).Men with the SLCO1B1c.463CA genotype are at increased risk of lower rifampin plasma exposure. However, plasma rifampin concentrations did not correlate with the extent of induction of efavirenz clearance by rifampin during coadministration.
