Population Pharmacokinetics of the Antituberculosis Agent Pretomanid.

ABSTRACT: A population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) model for pretomanid was developed using data from 14 studies in the pretomanid development program: six phase 1 studies, six phase 2 studies, and two phase 3 studies. The final analysis data set contained 17,725 observations from 1,054 subjects, including healthy subjects and subjects with drug-sensitive, multidrug-resistant, or extensively drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis dosed pretomanid in monotherapy or combination therapy for up to 6 months. Pretomanid pharmacokinetic behavior was described by a one-compartment model that at a given dose was linear in its absorption and clearance processes but where the rate of absorption and extent of bioavailability changed with dose. Clearance and volume of distribution scaled allometrically with weight. Apparent clearance in females was 18% less than in males. Among HIV-positive subjects, absent the effect of CYP3A4-inducing antiretrovirals, apparent clearance was 6% higher. Some effects of total bilirubin and albumin were found, but the impacts on exposure were small. Bioavailability in the fasted condition was about half that in the fed condition. Relative bioavailability decreased with increasing dose in the fasted condition, but not for doses of ?200?mg in the fed condition. HIV-positive subjects taking efavirenz and lopinavir/ritonavir had exposures that were reduced by 46 and 17%, respectively. There was little evidence for noteworthy effects of regimen partners on pretomanid. Standard diagnostics indicated that the model described the voluminous, diverse data well, so that the model could be used to generate exposure metrics for exposure/response analyses to be reported elsewhere.

Project description:Shorter, more potent regimens are needed for tuberculosis. The nitroimidazole pretomanid was recently approved for extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis in combination with bedaquiline and linezolid. Pretomanid may also have benefit as a treatment-shortening agent for drug-sensitive tuberculosis. It is unclear how and whether it can be used together with rifamycins, which are key sterilizing first-line drugs. In this analysis, data were pooled from two studies: the Assessing Pretomanid for Tuberculosis (APT) trial, in which patients with drug-sensitive pulmonary TB received pretomanid, isoniazid, and pyrazinamide plus either rifampin or rifabutin versus standard of care under fed conditions, and the AIDS Clinical Trials Group 5306 (A5306) trial, a phase I study in healthy volunteers receiving pretomanid alone or in combination with rifampin under fasting conditions. In our population pharmacokinetic (PK) model, participants taking rifampin had 44.4 and 59.3% reductions in pretomanid AUC (area under the concentration-time curve) compared to those taking rifabutin or pretomanid alone (due to 80 or 146% faster clearance) in the APT and A5306 trials, respectively. Median maximum concentrations (C max) in the rifampin and rifabutin arms were 2.14 and 3.35 mg/liter, while median AUC0-24 values were 30.1 and 59.5 mg·h/liter, respectively. Though pretomanid exposure in APT was significantly reduced with rifampin, AUC0-24 values were similar to those associated with effective treatment in registrational trials, likely because APT participants were fed with dosing, enhancing pretomanid relative bioavailability and exposures. Pretomanid concentrations with rifabutin were high but in range with prior observations. While pretomanid exposures with rifampin are unlikely to impair efficacy, our data suggest that pretomanid should be taken with food if prescribed with rifampin.
