Model based development of tacrolimus dosing algorithm considering CYP3A5 genotypes and mycophenolate mofetil drug interaction in stable kidney transplant recipients.

ABSTRACT: This study quantifies the interaction between tacrolimus (TAC) and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) in kidney transplant recipients. Concentrations of TAC, mycophenolic acid (MPA), and metabolites were analyzed and relevant genotypes were determined from 32 patients. A population model was developed to estimate the effect of interaction. Concentrations of TAC were simulated in clinical scenarios and dose-adjusted trough concentrations per dose (C/D) were compared. Effect of interaction was described as the inverse exponential relationship. Major determinants of trough levels of TAC were CYP3A5 genotype and interaction with MPA. The absolute difference in C/D of TAC according to co-administered MMF was higher in CYP3A5 non-expressers (0.55?ng/mL) than in CYP3A5 expressers (0.35?ng/mL). The effect of MMF in determining the TAC exposure is more pronounced in CYP3A5 non-expressers. Based on population pharmacokinetic model, we suggest the TAC dosing algorithm considering the effects of CYP3A5 and MMF drug interaction in stable kidney transplant recipients.

Project description:Tacrolimus exhibits inter-patient pharmacokinetic variability attributed to CYP3A5 isoenzymes and the efflux transporter, P-glycoprotein. Most black renal transplant recipients require higher tacrolimus doses compared to whites to achieve similar troughs when race-adjusted recommendations are used. An established guideline provides tacrolimus genotype dosing recommendations based on CYP3A5*1(W/T) and loss of protein function variants: CYP3A5*3 (rs776746), CYP3A5*6 (rs10264272), CYP3A5*7 (rs41303343) and may provide more comprehensive race-adjusted dosing recommendations. Our objective was to develop a tacrolimus population pharmacokinetic model evaluating demographic, clinical, and genomic factors in stable black and white renal transplant recipients. A secondary objective investigated race-based tacrolimus regimens and genotype-specific dosing. Sixty-seven recipients receiving oral tacrolimus and mycophenolic acid ?6 months completed a 12-hour pharmacokinetic study. CYP3A5*3,*6,*7 and ABCB1 1236C>T, 2677G>T/A, 3435C>T polymorphisms were characterized. Patients were classified as extensive, intermediate, and poor metabolizers using a novel CYP3A5*3*6*7 metabolic composite. Modeling and simulation was performed with computer software (NONMEM 7.3, ICON Development Solutions; Ellicott City, Maryland). A 2-compartment model with first-order elimination and absorption with lag time best described the data. The CYP3A5*3*6*7 metabolic composite was significantly associated with tacrolimus clearance (P value < .05), which was faster in extensive (mean: 45.0 L/hr) and intermediate (29.5 L/hr) metabolizers than poor metabolizers (19.8 L/hr). Simulations support CYP3A5*3*6*7 genotype-based tacrolimus dosing to enhance general race-adjusted regimens, with dose increases of 1.5-fold and 2-fold, respectively, in intermediate and extensive metabolizers for comparable exposures to poor metabolizers. This model offers a novel approach to determine tacrolimus dosing adjustments that maintain comparable therapeutic exposure between black and white recipients with different CYP3A5 genotypes.

Project description:IntroductionTacrolimus (TAC) is the mainstay immunosuppressant for renal transplantation. A narrow therapeutic index, multiple drug interactions, and interindividual variability in pharmacokinetics make it obligatory to monitor therapeutic drug levels. The Multidrug resistance gene 1 (MDR1) and CYP3A5 gene polymorphism may blend to achieve the optimal level. The optimal dose as per body weight is difficult to single out in the early posttransplantation period. In this study, we aimed to analyze the melding effect of both gene polymorphisms and to elicit the dose depending on the combination of genetic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in northern Indian transplant recipients, for whom data are limited.MethodsThe daily TAC dose, weight-adjusted doses (mg/kg per day), TAC trough blood concentration (average of at least 3 levels), dose normalized with a corresponding dose using TAC concentration/weight-adjusted dose ratio (ng/ml per mg/kg per day) of 248 patients were recorded. All recipients were genotyped for the SNPs of CYP3A5 at intron 3 A6986G (the *3 or *1 allele), MDR1 at exons 12 (C1236T), 21 (G2677A/T), and 26 (C3435T). We analyzed the blending effect of mutant SNPs of the MDR gene and CYP3A5 for optimized TAC levels.ResultsAmong CYP3A5 genotypic variants, the dose-adjusted TAC level was significantly lower, and the TAC dose required to achieve the target level was significantly higher, in CYP3A5*1*1 (expressor) than that of CYP3A5*1*3 and CYP3A5*3*3. Of the MDR1 gene SNPs, only the G2677T/A homozygous mutant was significantly associated with TAC level, and it was strongly correlated with P-gp expression.The daily TAC dose requirement was highest with a combination of CYP3A5*1*1 and homozygous mutant TT+AA genotype of G2677T/A, and was lowest with CYP3A5*3*3 and wild-type GG of the G2677T/A genotype.ConclusionBoth CYP gene and MDR1 gene polymorphism affect TAC dose requirements, and there is a need to look for both in an individual to achieve the target trough concentration.
