Influence of the OATP Polymorphism on the Population Pharmacokinetics of Methotrexate in Chinese Patients.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:The Pharmacokinetics of Methotrexate (MTX) has been reported to show significant intersubject variability. MTX is metabolized by SHMT1 and transported by OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 both of which show genetic polymorphisms. The non-genetic and genetic factors may influence the pharmacokinetics of MTX. OBJECTIVE:This study aimed to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of MTX in Chinese patients and to investigate the effect of various non-genetic factors and genetic variants of OATP1B1, OATP1B3 on MTX's pharmacokinetics. METHODS:MTX concentration and clinical characteristics data were collected from 71 rheumatoid arthritis patients. For each patient, SLC19A1, SHMT1, OATP1B1, and OATP1B3 genotyping were tested. Population pharmacokinetic analysis was performed by Nonlinear Mixed-Effect Modeling (NONMEM). MTX pharmacokinetic properties analysis was executed using the one-compartment pharmacokinetic model which incorporated first-order conditional estimation methods with interaction. Besides, the impact of genetic factors and demographic factors on MTX disposition were explored. RESULTS:All the genotypes of steady-state plasma concentrations and OATP1B1 rs4149056, OATP1B1 rs2306283, and OATP1B3 rs7311358 were determined. The detected blood drug concentration reached the standard. Genotypes were all measured. At the same time, the population pharmacokinetic model of methotrexate was obtained CL(L·h-1) =8.25× e0.167× SNP (SNP: SLCO1B1 388A/A=3; SLCO1B1 388A/G=2; SLCO1B1 388G/G=1); V(L)= 32.8; Ka(h- 1)=1.69. CONCLUSION:In our study, it was showed that OATP1B1-388 G>A SNP had a significant effect on CL/F. The factor should be considered when determining MTX dosing. However, prospective studies with a large number of participants are needed to validate the results of this study.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with a significant burden of disease in China. Awareness and better access to treatments could help alleviate the burden associated with MDD. Because variations have been observed in the pharmacokinetics (PK) of antidepressants across different races and ethnicities, evaluation of the clinical pharmacology of vortioxetine in diverse populations remains important to assess the potential need for dose adjustments. METHODS:Data were pooled from two phase I open-label PK studies in healthy Chinese subjects, and one phase III double-blind noninferiority study in Chinese patients with MDD to describe the PK and safety data for vortioxetine. Doses in these studies ranged from 10 mg (single dose) to 10 and 20 mg (multiple daily doses). A population PK analysis of vortioxetine in the Chinese population was conducted using nonlinear mixed-effect modeling. RESULTS:In total, 186 individuals were included in the PK analysis: 79 healthy Chinese subjects and 107 Chinese patients with MDD. No clinically significant differences in the PK of vortioxetine were observed between the Chinese population and the previous data in non-Chinese populations. Because of a generally lower weight in the Chinese population compared with the non-Chinese population, exposures were 19% and 18% higher in the Chinese population than in the non-Chinese population (for maximum observed plasma concentration and area under the plasma concentration-time curve, respectively), which is not considered clinically relevant. A high prevalence of pruritus was observed in one phase I PK study (56% overall); however, this was not reflected in the phase III study in Chinese patients with MDD (0.8%). CONCLUSIONS:The PK parameters of vortioxetine in Chinese subjects were comparable to previous data in non-Chinese subjects. Overall, no new safety concerns were raised among the Chinese population. On the basis of this analysis, the tolerability profile of vortioxetine in Chinese healthy subjects and in patients with MDD is expected to be comparable to that in the non-Chinese population.
