Project description:Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models are increasingly used in drug development to simulate changes in both systemic and tissue exposures that arise as a result of changes in enzyme and/or transporter activity. Verification of these model-based simulations of tissue exposure is challenging in the case of transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions (tDDI), in particular as these may lead to differential effects on substrate exposure in plasma and tissues/organs of interest. Gadoxetate, a promising magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent, is a substrate of organic-anion-transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1) and multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2). In this study, we developed a gadoxetate PBPK model and explored the use of liver-imaging data to achieve and refine in vitro-in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) of gadoxetate hepatic transporter kinetic data. In addition, PBPK modeling was used to investigate gadoxetate hepatic tDDI with rifampicin i.v. 10 mg/kg. In vivo dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI data of gadoxetate in rat blood, spleen, and liver were used in this analysis. Gadoxetate in vitro uptake kinetic data were generated in plated rat hepatocytes. Mean (%CV) in vitro hepatocyte uptake unbound Michaelis-Menten constant (Km,u) of gadoxetate was 106 μM (17%) (n = 4 rats), and active saturable uptake accounted for 94% of total uptake into hepatocytes. PBPK-IVIVE of these data (bottom-up approach) captured reasonably systemic exposure, but underestimated the in vivo gadoxetate DCE-MRI profiles and elimination from the liver. Therefore, in vivo rat DCE-MRI liver data were subsequently used to refine gadoxetate transporter kinetic parameters in the PBPK model (top-down approach). Active uptake into the hepatocytes refined by the liver-imaging data was one order of magnitude higher than the one predicted by the IVIVE approach. Finally, the PBPK model was fitted to the gadoxetate DCE-MRI data (blood, spleen, and liver) obtained with and without coadministered rifampicin. Rifampicin was estimated to inhibit active uptake transport of gadoxetate into the liver by 96%. The current analysis highlighted the importance of gadoxetate liver data for PBPK model refinement, which was not feasible when using the blood data alone, as is common in PBPK modeling applications. The results of our study demonstrate the utility of organ-imaging data in evaluating and refining PBPK transporter IVIVE to support the subsequent model use for quantitative evaluation of hepatic tDDI.

Project description:Paclitaxel is a commonly used drug in the treatment of multiple solid tumors, including cancers of the breast, lung, and ovaries. Despite the established exposure-pharmacodynamic relationships for paclitaxel, treatment is associated with wide interindividual pharmacokinetic variability that leads to unpredictability of the agent's clinical activity and toxicity. We hypothesized that physiologically-based modeling approaches could be employed to predict the human pharmacokinetics of paclitaxel following administration of the approved Cremophor-based formulation (Taxol). The model was developed from tissue distribution studies performed in mice and applied to plasma concentration-time data obtained in adult cancer patients receiving Taxol at the approved dose and schedule (175 mg/m2 by a 3-hour intravenous infusion), taking into account interspecies differences in physiological parameters. The final model adequately captured the observed concentrations in patients and allowed prediction of paclitaxel distribution profiles in multiple target organs and can be applied to further refine the chemotherapeutic treatment with a clinically important agent.

Project description:Bortezomib is a reversible proteasome inhibitor with potent antineoplastic activity that exhibits dose- and time-dependent pharmacokinetics (PK). Proteasome-mediated bortezomib disposition is proposed as the primary source of its nonlinear and apparent nonstationary PK behavior. Single intravenous (IV) doses of bortezomib (0.25 and 1 mg/kg) were administrated to BALB/c mice, with blood and tissue samples obtained over 144 h, which were analyzed by LC/MS/MS. A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model incorporating tissue drug-target binding was developed to test the hypothesis of proteasome-mediated bortezomib disposition. The final model reasonably captured bortezomib plasma and tissue PK profiles, and parameters were estimated with good precision. The rank-order of model estimated tissue target density correlated well with experimentally measured proteasome concentrations reported in the literature, supporting the hypothesis that binding to proteasome influences bortezomib disposition. The PBPK model was further scaled-up to humans to assess the similarity of bortezomib disposition among species. Human plasma bortezomib PK profiles following multiple IV dosing (1.3 mg/m(2)) on days 1, 4, 8, and 11 were simulated by appropriately scaling estimated mouse parameters. Simulated and observed bortezomib concentrations after multiple dosing were in good agreement, suggesting target-mediated bortezomib disposition is likely for both mice and humans. Furthermore, the model predicts that renal impairment should exert minimal influence on bortezomib exposure in humans, confirming that bortezomib dose adjustment is not necessary for patients with renal impairment.

Project description:Valproic acid (VPA) is an older first-line antiepileptic drug with a complex pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, currently under investigation for several novel neurologic and non-neurologic indications. Our study objective was to design and validate a mechanistic model of VPA disposition in adults and children; and evaluate its predictive performance of drug-drug interactions (DDIs). This study expands upon existing physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models for VPA by incorporating UGT enzyme kinetics and an advanced dissolution, absorption, and metabolism (ADAM) model for extended-release (ER) formulation. PBPK models for VPA IR and ER formulations were constructed using Simcyp Simulator (Version 15). First-order absorption was used for the immediate-release (IR) formulation and the ADAM model, including a controlled-release profile, for ER. Data from twenty-one published clinical studies were used to assess model performance. The model accurately predicted the concentration-time profiles of IR formulation for single-dose and steady-state doses ranging from 200mg to 1000mg. Similarly profiles were also simulated for ER formulation after a single-dose and steady-state doses of 500mg and 1000mg, respectively. In addition, simulated PK profiles agreed well with the observed data from studies in which VPA ER formulation was given to pediatric patients and VPA IR formulation to adult patients with cirrhosis. The model was further validated with individual adult data from a Phase I clinical trial consisting of eight cohorts after IV infusion of VPA with doses ranging from 15 to 150mg/kg. Co-administrations of VPA as an enzyme-inhibitor with victim drug phenytoin or lorazepam, as well as a substrate with enzyme inducer carbamazepine or phenobarbital, were simulated with the model to evaluate drug-drug interaction. The simulated serum concentration-time profiles were within the 5th and 95th percentiles, and the majority of the predicted area-under-the-curve (AUC) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) values were within 25% of the reported average values. The comprehensive VPA PBPK model defined by this study may be used to support dosage regimen optimization to improve the safety and efficacy profile of this agent under different scenarios.

Project description:Over the last several decades, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) have been a staple in the treatment of hypertension and renovascular disorders in children. One of the ACEIs, captopril, is projected to have all the benefits of traditional vasodilators. However, conducting clinical trials for determining the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a drug is challenging, particularly in pediatrics. As a result, modeling and simulation methods have been developed to identify the safe and effective dosages of drugs. The physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling is a well-established method that permits extrapolation from adult to juvenile populations. By using SIMCYP simulator, as a modeling platform, a previously developed PBPK drug-disease model of captopril was scaled to renally impaired pediatrics population for predicting captopril PK. The visual predictive checks, predicted/observed ratios (ratiopred/obs), and the average fold error of PK parameters were used for model evaluation. The model predictions were comparable with the reported PK data of captopril in mild and severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, as the mean ratiopred/obs Cmax and AUC0-t were 1.44 (95% CI 1.07 - 1.80) and 1.26 (95% CI 0.93 - 1.59), respectively. The successfully developed captopril-CKD pediatric model can be used in suggesting drug dosing in children diagnosed with different stages of CKD.

Project description:Selumetinib (ARRY-142886), an oral, potent and highly selective allosteric mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1/2 inhibitor, is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of pediatric patients aged ≥2 years with neurofibromatosis type 1 with symptomatic, inoperable plexiform neurofibromas. A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was constructed to predict plasma concentration-time profiles of selumetinib, and to evaluate the impact of coadministering moderate cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4/2C19 inhibitors/inducers. The model was also used to extrapolate pharmacokinetic exposures from older children with different body surface area to guide dosing in younger children. This model was built based on physiochemical data and clinical in vivo drug-drug interaction (DDI) studies with itraconazole and fluconazole, and verified against data from an in vivo rifampicin DDI study and an absolute bioavailability study. The pediatric model was updated by changing system-specific input parameters using the Simcyp pediatric module. The model captured the observed selumetinib pharmacokinetic profiles and the interactions with CYP inhibitors/inducers. The predictions from the PBPK model showed a DDI effect of 30% to 40% increase or decrease in selumetinib exposure when coadministered with moderate CYP inhibitors or inducers, respectively, which was used to inform dose management and adjustments. The pediatric PBPK model was applied to simulate exposures in specific body surface area brackets that matched those achieved with a 25 mg/m2 dose in SPRINT clinical trials. The pediatric PBPK model was used to guide the dose for younger patients in a planned pediatric clinical study.

Project description:Dosing guidance for children with obesity is often unknown despite the fact that nearly 20% of US children are classified as obese. Enoxaparin, a commonly prescribed low-molecular-weight heparin, is dosed based on body weight irrespective of obesity status to achieve maximum concentration within a narrow therapeutic or prophylactic target range. However, whether children with and without obesity experience equivalent enoxaparin exposure remains unclear. To address this clinical question, 2,825 anti-activated factor X (anti-Xa) surrogate concentrations were collected from the electronic health records of 596 children, including those with obesity. Using linear mixed-effects regression models, we observed that 4-hour anti-Xa concentrations were statistically significantly different in children with and without obesity, even for children with the same absolute dose (P = 0.004). To further mechanistically explore obesity-associated differences in anti-Xa concentration, a pediatric physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was developed in adults, and then scaled to children with and without obesity. This PBPK model incorporated binding of enoxaparin to antithrombin to form anti-Xa and elimination via heparinase-mediated metabolism and glomerular filtration. Following scaling, the PBPK model predicted real-world pediatric concentrations well, with an average fold error (standard deviation of the fold error) of 0.82 (0.23) and 0.87 (0.26) in children with and without obesity, respectively. PBPK model simulations revealed that children with obesity have at most 20% higher 4-hour anti-Xa concentrations under recommended, total body weight-based dosing compared to children without obesity owing to reduced weight-normalized clearance. Enoxaparin exposure was better matched across age groups and obesity status using fat-free mass weight-based dosing.

Project description:The predictive performance of physiologically-based pharmacokinetics (PBPK) models for pharmacokinetics (PK) in renal impairment (RI) and hepatic impairment (HI) populations was evaluated using clinical data from 29 compounds with 106 organ impairment study arms were collected from 19 member companies of the International Consortium for Innovation and Quality in Pharmaceutical Development. Fifty RI and 56 HI study arms with varying degrees of organ insufficiency along with control populations were evaluated. For RI, the area under the curve (AUC) ratios of RI to healthy control were predicted within twofold of the observed ratios for > 90% (N = 47/50 arms). For HI, > 70% (N = 43/56 arms) of the hepatically impaired to healthy control AUC ratios were predicted within twofold. Inaccuracies, typically overestimation of AUC ratios, occurred more in moderate and severe HI. PBPK predictions can help determine the need and timing of organ impairment study. It may be suitable for predicting the impact of RI on PK of drugs predominantly cleared by metabolism with varying contribution of renal clearance. PBPK modeling may be used to support mild impairment study waivers or clinical study design.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to create an open access repository of validated liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) methods for quantifying 284 important proteins associated with drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). Various in silico and experimental approaches were used to select surrogate peptides and optimize instrument parameters for LC-MS/MS quantification of the selected proteins. The final methods were uploaded to an online public database (QPrOmics; www.qpromics.uw.edu/qpromics/assay/), which provides essential information for facile method development in triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (MS) instruments. To validate the utility of the methods, the differential tissue expression of 107 key ADME proteins was characterized in the tryptic digests of the pooled subcellular fractions of human liver, kidneys, intestines, and lungs. These methods and the data are critical for development of physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models to predict xenobiotic disposition.

Project description:Findings of a recent clinical study showed indomethacin has lower plasma levels and higher steady-state apparent clearance in pregnant subjects when compared to those in non-pregnant subjects reported in separate studies. Thus, in the current work we developed a pregnancy physiological based pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PBPK/PD) model for indomethacin to explain the differences in indomethacin pharmacokinetics between pregnancy and non-pregnancy. A whole-body PBPK model with key pregnancy-related physiological changes was developed to characterize indomethacin PK in pregnant women and compare these parameters to those in non-pregnant subjects. Data related to maternal physiological and biological changes were obtained from literature and incorporated into the structural PBPK model that describes non-pregnant PK data. Changes in indomethacin area under the curve (AUC), maximum concentration (Cmax) and average steady-state concentration (Cave) in pregnant women were predicted. Model-simulated PK profiles were in agreement with observed data. The predicted mean ratio (non-pregnant:second trimester (T2)) of indomethacin Cave was 1.6 compared to the observed value of 1.59. In addition, the predicted steady-state apparent clearance (CL/Fss) ratio was almost similar to the observed value (0.46 vs. 0.42). Sensitivity analysis suggested changes in CYP2C9 activity, and to a lesser extent UGT2B7, as the primary factor contributing to differences in indomethacin disposition between pregnancy and non-pregnancy. The developed PBPK model which integrates prior physiological knowledge, in vitro and in vivo data, allowed the successful prediction of indomethacin disposition during T2. Our PBPK/PD model suggested a higher indomethacin dosing requirement during pregnancy.
