Project description:AimsExamine relationships between the systemic exposure of acalabrutinib, a highly selective, next-generation Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and its active metabolite (ACP-5862) vs. efficacy and safety responses in patients with B-cell malignancies who received acalabrutinib as monotherapy or in combination with obinutuzumab.MethodsFor exposure-efficacy analyses, patients with untreated chronic lymphocytic leukaemia were assessed for best overall response, progression-free survival and tumour regression. For exposure-safety analyses, incidences of grade ≥2 adverse events (AEs), grade ≥3 AEs and grade ≥2 events of clinical interest were assessed in patients with B-cell malignancies. Acalabrutinib and ACP-5862 pharmacokinetic (PK) parameter estimates were obtained from population PK modelling. Exposure calculations were based on study dosing regimens. Total active moieties were calculated to account for contributions of ACP-5862 to overall efficacy/safety.ResultsA total of 573 patients were included (exposure-efficacy analyses, n = 274; exposure-safety analyses, n = 573). Most patients (93%) received acalabrutinib 100 mg twice daily. Median total active area under the concentration-time curve (AUC24h,ss ) and total active maximal concentration at steady-state (Cmax,ss ) were similar for patients who received acalabrutinib as monotherapy or in combination with obinutuzumab, and for responders and nonresponders. No relationship was observed between AUC24h,ss /Cmax,ss and progression-free survival or tumour regression. Acalabrutinib AUC24h,ss and Cmax,ss were generally comparable across groups regardless of AE incidence.ConclusionNo clinically meaningful correlations between acalabrutinib PK exposure and efficacy and safety outcomes were observed. These data support the fixed acalabrutinib dose of 100 mg twice daily in the treatment of patients with B-cell malignancies.

Project description:Acalabrutinib, a selective, covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is a CYP3A substrate and weak CYP3A/CYP2C8 inhibitor. A physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was developed for acalabrutinib and its active metabolite ACP-5862 to predict potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs). The model indicated acalabrutinib would not perpetrate a CYP2C8 or CYP3A DDI with the sensitive CYP substrates rosiglitazone or midazolam, respectively. The model reasonably predicted clinically observed acalabrutinib DDI with the CYP3A perpetrators itraconazole (4.80-fold vs. 5.21-fold observed) and rifampicin (0.21-fold vs. 0.23-fold observed). An increase of two to threefold acalabrutinib area under the curve was predicted for coadministration with moderate CYP3A inhibitors. When both the parent drug and active metabolite (total active components) were considered, the magnitude of the CYP3A DDI was much less significant. PBPK dosing recommendations for DDIs should consider the magnitude of the parent drug excursion, relative to safe parent drug exposures, along with the excursion of total active components to best enable safe and adequate pharmacodynamic coverage.

Project description:Pharmacokinetics (PKs) in Japanese healthy subjects were simulated for nine compounds using physiologically based PK (PBPK) models parameterized with physicochemical properties, preclinical absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) data, and clinical PK data from non-Japanese subjects. For each dosing regimen, 100 virtual trials were simulated and predicted/observed ratios for peak plasma concentration (Cmax ) and area under the curve (AUC) were calculated. As qualification criteria, it was prespecified that >80% of simulated trials should demonstrate ratios to observed data ranging from 0.5-2.0. Across all compounds and dose regimens studied, 93% of simulated Cmax values in Japanese subjects fulfilled the criteria. Similarly, for AUC, 77% of single-dosing regimens and 100% of multiple-dosing regimens fulfilled the criteria. In summary, mechanistically incorporating the appropriate ADME properties into PBPK models, followed by qualification using non-Japanese clinical data, can predict PKs in the Japanese population and lead to efficient trial design and conduct of Japanese phase I studies.

Project description:BackgroundIrreversible inhibition of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) by ibrutinib represents an important therapeutic advance for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). However, ibrutinib also irreversibly inhibits alternative kinase targets, which potentially compromises its therapeutic index. Acalabrutinib (ACP-196) is a more selective, irreversible BTK inhibitor that is specifically designed to improve on the safety and efficacy of first-generation BTK inhibitors.MethodsIn this uncontrolled, phase 1-2, multicenter study, we administered oral acalabrutinib to 61 patients who had relapsed CLL to assess the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of acalabrutinib. Patients were treated with acalabrutinib at a dose of 100 to 400 mg once daily in the dose-escalation (phase 1) portion of the study and 100 mg twice daily in the expansion (phase 2) portion.ResultsThe median age of the patients was 62 years, and patients had received a median of three previous therapies for CLL; 31% had chromosome 17p13.1 deletion, and 75% had unmutated immunoglobulin heavy-chain variable genes. No dose-limiting toxic effects occurred during the dose-escalation portion of the study. The most common adverse events observed were headache (in 43% of the patients), diarrhea (in 39%), and increased weight (in 26%). Most adverse events were of grade 1 or 2. At a median follow-up of 14.3 months, the overall response rate was 95%, including 85% with a partial response and 10% with a partial response with lymphocytosis; the remaining 5% of patients had stable disease. Among patients with chromosome 17p13.1 deletion, the overall response rate was 100%. No cases of Richter's transformation (CLL that has evolved into large-cell lymphoma) and only one case of CLL progression have occurred.ConclusionsIn this study, the selective BTK inhibitor acalabrutinib had promising safety and efficacy profiles in patients with relapsed CLL, including those with chromosome 17p13.1 deletion.

Project description:More and more targeted agents become available for B cell malignancies with increasing precision and potency. The first-in-class Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, ibrutinib, has been in clinical use for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, mantle cell lymphoma, and Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia. More selective BTK inhibitors (ACP-196, ONO/GS-4059, BGB-3111, CC-292) are being explored. Acalabrutinib (ACP-196) is a novel irreversible second-generation BTK inhibitor that was shown to be more potent and selective than ibrutinib. This review summarized the preclinical research and clinical data of acalabrutinib.

Project description:Background and objectivesBilastine is a novel second-generation antihistamine for the symptomatic treatment of allergic rhinitis and urticaria. The objective of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and tolerability of bilastine following single and multiple oral doses in healthy Japanese subjects. The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles were compared with those reported in Caucasian subjects.MethodsIn a single-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, single- and multiple-ascending dose study, bilastine tablets were administered at single doses of 10, 20, and 50 mg (Part I), and once daily for 14 days at 20 and 50 mg (Part II).ResultsAfter single oral doses, maximum plasma concentrations (C max) were reached at 1.0-1.5 h postdose. Plasma exposure [C max and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC)] increased dose-proportionally at single doses of 10-50 mg. In repeated-dose administration, no remarkable differences were observed between Day 1 and Day 14 for C max or AUC. For inhibitory effects on wheal and flare response, bilastine 20 and 50 mg showed significant inhibition from 1.5 h after administration as compared with placebo, and the significant effect persisted for 24 h after administration. The rates of adverse events (AEs) were comparable between bilastine and placebo in both Part I and Part II. In addition, no dose- or administration period-dependent tendency of increase in rate of AEs or worsening of severity was observed.ConclusionBilastine exhibits similar single- and multiple-dose pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics in healthy Japanese subjects compared with those observed in Caucasian subjects in previous studies.

Project description:AIMS:Based on in vitro data, there is evidence to suggest that cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C8 is involved in the metabolism of selexipag and its active metabolite, ACT-333679. The present study evaluated the possible pharmacokinetic interactions of selexipag with gemfibrozil, a strong CYP2C8 inhibitor, and rifampicin, an inducer of CYP2C8. METHODS:The study consisted of two independent parts, each conducted according to an open-label, randomized, crossover design. The pharmacokinetics and safety of selexipag and ACT-333679 were studied following single-dose administration either alone or in the presence of multiple-dose gemfibrozil (part I) or rifampicin (part II) in healthy male subjects. RESULTS:Gemfibrozil had comparatively small effects on selexipag (less than 2-fold difference in any pharmacokinetic variable) but, with respect to ACT-333679, increased the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax ) 3.6-fold [90% confidence interval (CI) 3.1, 4.3] and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from zero to infinity (AUC0-? ) 11.1-fold (90% CI 9.2, 13.4). The marked increased exposure to ACT-333679, which mediates the majority of the pharmacological activity of selexipag, was accompanied by significantly more adverse events such as headache, nausea and vomiting. Coadministration of rifampicin increased the Cmax of selexipag 1.8-fold (90% CI 1.4, 2.2) and its AUC0-? 1.3-fold (90% CI 1.1, 1.4); its effects on ACT-333679 were to increase its Cmax 1.3-fold (90% CI 1.1, 1.6), shorten its half-life by 63% and reduce its AUC0-? by half (90% CI 0.45, 0.59). CONCLUSION:Concomitant administration of selexipag and strong inhibitors of CYP2C8 must be avoided, whereas when coadministered with inducers of CYP2C8, dose adjustments of selexipag should be envisaged.

Project description:AimsTo characterize the pharmacokinetics of deferiprone in healthy subjects using a model-based approach and to assess the effect of demographic and physiological factors on drug exposure.MethodsData from 55 adult healthy subjects receiving deferiprone (solution 100?mg?ml(-1)) were used for model building purposes. A population pharmacokinetic analysis was performed using nonmem v.7.2. The contribution of gender, age, weight and creatinine clearance (CLcr) on drug disposition was evaluated according to standard forward inclusion, backward deletion procedures. Model selection criteria were based on graphical and statistical summaries.ResultsA one compartment model with first order oral absorption was found to describe best the pharmacokinetics of deferiprone. Simulated exposure values were comparable with previously published data. Mean AUC estimates were 45.8 and 137.4?mg?l(-1) ?h, whereas Cmax increased from 17.6 to 26.5?mg?l(-1) after administration of 25 and 75?mg?kg(-1) doses, respectively. Gender differences in the apparent volume of distribution (20%) have been identified, which are unlikely to be of clinical relevance. Furthermore, simulation scenarios reveal that dose adjustment is required for patients with reduced CLcr . Doses of 60, 40 and 25?mg?kg(-1) for patients showing mild, moderate and severe renal impairment are proposed based on CLcr values of 60-89, 30-59 and 15-29?ml?min(-1), respectively.ConclusionsOur analysis has enabled the assessment of the impact of gender and CLcr on the pharmacokinetics of deferiprone. Moreover, it provides the basis for dosing recommendations in renal impairment. The implication of these covariates on systemic exposure is currently not available in the prescribing information of deferiprone.

Project description:PurposeEsaxerenone is a novel, oral, nonsteroidal treatment for hypertension. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling was performed to predict the drug-drug interaction (DDI) effect of cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A modulators on esaxerenone pharmacokinetics in healthy subjects and subjects with hepatic impairment.MethodsIn our PBPK model, the fraction of esaxerenone metabolised by CYP3A was estimated from mass-balance data and verified and optimised by clinical DDI study results with strong CYP3A modulators. The model was also verified by the observed pharmacokinetics after multiple oral dosing and by the effect of hepatic impairment on esaxerenone pharmacokinetics. The model was applied to predict the DDI effects on esaxerenone pharmacokinetics with untested CYP3A modulators in healthy subjects and with strong CYP3A modulators in subjects with hepatic impairment.ResultsThe PBPK model well described esaxerenone pharmacokinetics after multiple oral dosing. The predicted fold changes in esaxerenone plasma exposure after coadministration with strong CYP3A modulators were comparable with the observed data (1.53-fold with itraconazole and 0.31-fold with rifampicin). Predicted DDIs with untested moderate CYP3A modulators were less than the observed DDI with strong CYP3A modulators. The PBPK model also described the effect of hepatic impairment on esaxerenone plasma exposure. The predicted DDI results with strong CYP3A modulators in subjects with hepatic impairment indicate that, for concomitant use of CYP3A modulators, caution is advised for subjects with hepatic impairment, as is for healthy subjects.ConclusionThe PBPK model developed predicted esaxerenone pharmacokinetics and DDIs and informed concurrent use of esaxerenone with CYP3A modulators.

Project description:Acalabrutinib received approval for the treatment of adult patients with mantle cell lymphoma who received at least 1 prior therapy and adult patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma. This study investigated the impact of hepatic impairment (HI) on acalabrutinib pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety at a single 50-mg dose in fasted subjects. This study was divided into 2 parts: study 1, an open-label, parallel-group study in Child-Pugh class A or B subjects and healthy subjects; and study 2, an open-label, parallel-group study in Child-Pugh class C subjects and healthy subjects. Baseline characteristics and safety profiles were similar across groups. Acalabrutinib exposure (area under the plasma concentration-time curve) increased slightly (1.90- and 1.48-fold) in subjects with mild (Child-Pugh class A) and moderate (Child-Pugh class B) hepatic impairment compared with healthy subjects. In severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C), acalabrutinib exposure (area under the plasma concentration-time curve and maximum plasma concentration) increased ≈5.0- and 3.6-fold, respectively. Results were consistent across total and unbound exposures. Severe hepatic impairment did not impact total/unbound metabolite (ACP-5862) exposures; the metabolite-to-parent ratio decreased to 0.6 to 0.8 (vs 3.1-3.6 in healthy subjects). In summary, single oral dose of 50-mg acalabrutinib was safe and well tolerated in subjects with mild, moderate, and severe hepatic impairment and in healthy control subjects. In subjects with severe hepatic impairment, mean acalabrutinib exposure increased by up to 5-fold and should be avoided. Acalabrutinib does not require dose adjustment in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment.
