Abstract

Introduction: Patients receiving the standard prophylaxis dose of colchicine for gout flares are at increased risk for developing toxicity if there are pre-existing renal impairment or drug-drug interactions. Guidelines recommend exercising caution, deferring dose adjustment to the clinician's discretion.

Methods: Pharmacokinetic study data for colchicine oral solution in healthy subjects was used to build a pharmacokinetic model. Using the derived pharmacokinetic disposition parameters from the best fit model and the derived parameters of clearance in patients with renal impairment, simulation of colchicine plasma levels to target 0.5-3 ng/mL with colchicine oral solution was undertaken for various dose levels in different degrees of renal impairment.

Results: With the standard colchicine 0.6 mg daily dose, plasma levels are expected to be therapeutic in patients with mild renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] 60-89 mL/min/1.73 m2). However, with this same 0.6 mg daily dose, patients with moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30-59 mL/min/1.73 m2) and severe renal impairment (eGFR of 15-29 mL/min/1.73 m2) would have excursions up to 10% and 36%, respectively, above the maximum tolerated level. Administering a lower dose such as 0.3 mg daily by splitting the conventional 0.6 mg tablet or by administering 0.6 mg once every-other-day (QOD) in moderate renal impairment would result in plasma colchicine levels in subtherapeutic range (< 0.5 ng/mL) for 20-70% of the dosing interval.

Conclusion: Analysis of pharmacokinetic model data confirms that the majority of patients with renal impairment taking colchicine solid dosage formulations will be above or below therapeutic levels, exposing them to potential side effects. However, more precise dosing with colchicine oral solution of 0.48 mg (4 mL) or 0.5 mg tablet available in certain countries for moderate renal impairment and 0.3 mg (2.5 mL) for severe renal impairment are associated with optimal levels and safer for patients with renal impairment. No dosage adjustment is needed for patients with mild renal impairment.

肾损害患者痛风发作的预防:秋水仙碱口服溶液剂量调整的药代动力学模型。
引言:接受秋水仙碱标准预防剂量治疗痛风发作的患者,如果存在预先存在的肾脏损害或药物-药物相互作用,则发生毒性的风险增加。指南建议谨慎使用,将剂量调整推迟到临床医生的判断。方法:采用秋水仙碱口服液在健康人体内的药动学研究数据,建立药动学模型。利用最佳拟合模型导出的药代动力学配置参数和肾损害患者清除率的导出参数,模拟不同剂量的秋水仙碱口服液在不同程度肾损害下,秋水仙碱血浆水平达到0.5 ~ 3 ng/mL目标。结果:在标准秋水仙碱每日0.6 mg剂量下,血浆水平预计对轻度肾功能损害患者有治疗作用(估计肾小球滤过率[eGFR] 60-89 mL/min/1.73 m2)。然而,在相同的0.6 mg日剂量下,中度肾功能损害(eGFR 30-59 mL/min/1.73 m2)和重度肾功能损害(eGFR 15-29 mL/min/1.73 m2)患者的剂量偏差将分别高于最大耐受水平10%和36%。给药剂量较低,如每日0.3 mg,将常规的0.6 mg片剂分开服用,或在中度肾功能损害时每隔一天给药0.6 mg,会导致血浆秋水仙碱水平处于亚治疗范围(结论:药代动力学模型数据分析证实,大多数肾损害患者服用秋水仙碱固体剂型将高于或低于治疗水平,暴露于潜在的副作用中。然而,更精确的秋水仙碱口服溶液剂量为0.48 mg (4ml)或0.5 mg片剂,在某些国家用于中度肾功能损害,0.3 mg (2.5 mL)用于重度肾功能损害,与最佳水平相关,对肾功能损害患者更安全。轻度肾功能损害患者无需调整剂量。

期刊介绍: Aims and Scope Rheumatology and Therapy is an international, open access, peer reviewed, rapid publication journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of rheumatologic therapies. Studies relating to diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also welcomed. Areas of focus include, but are not limited to, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, gouty arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, juvenile idiopathic/rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, axial spondyloarthritis, Pompe’s disease, inflammatory joint conditions, musculoskeletal conditions, systemic sclerosis, and fibromyalgia. The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, case reports, trial protocols, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Rheumatology and Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research. Ethics and Disclosures The journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and subscribes to its principles on how to deal with acts of misconduct thereby committing to investigate allegations of misconduct in order to ensure the integrity of research. Content in this journal is peer-reviewed (Single-blind). For more information on our publishing ethics policies, please see here: https://www.springer.com/gp/editorial-policies Rapid Publication The journal’s rapid publication timelines aim for a peer review decision within 2 weeks of submission. If an article is accepted it will be published online 3-4 weeks from acceptance. These rapid timelines are achieved through the combination of a dedicated in-house editorial team, who closely manage article workflow, and an extensive Editorial and Advisory Board who assist with rapid peer review. This allows the journal to support the rapid dissemination of research, whilst still providing robust peer review. Combined with the journal’s open access model this allows for the rapid and efficient communication of the latest research and reviews, allowing the advancement of rheumatologic therapies. Personal Service The journal’s dedicated in-house editorial team offer a personal “concierge service” meaning that authors will always have a personal point of contact able to update them on the status of their manuscript. The editorial team check all manuscripts to ensure that articles conform to the most recent COPE, GPP and ICMJE publishing guidelines. This supports the publication of ethically sound and transparent research. We also encourage pre-submission enquiries and are always happy to provide a confidential assessment of manuscripts. Digital Features Rheumatology and Therapy offers a range of additional features designed to increase the visibility, readership and educational value of the journal’s content. Each article is accompanied by key summary points, giving a time-efficient overview of the content to a wide readership. Articles may be accompanied by plain language summaries to assist readers who have some knowledge of, but not in-depth expertise in, the area to understand the scientific content and overall implications of the article. The journal also provides the option to include various types of digital features including animated abstracts, video abstracts, slide decks, audio slides, instructional videos, infographics, podcasts and animations. All additional features are peer reviewed to the same high standard as the article itself. If you consider that your paper would benefit from the inclusion of a digital feature, please let us know. Our editorial team are able to create high-quality slide decks and infographics in-house, and video abstracts through our partner Research Square, and would be happy to assist in any way we can. For further information about digital features, please contact the journal editor (see ‘Contact the Journal’ for email address), and see the ‘Guidelines for digital features and plain language summaries’ document under ‘Submission guidelines’. For examples of digital features please visit: https://springerhealthcare.com/expertise/publishing-digital-features/ Preprints We encourage posting of preprints of primary research manuscripts on preprint servers, authors'' or institutional websites, and open communications between researchers whether on community preprint servers or preprint commenting platforms. Posting of preprints is not considered prior publication and will not jeopardize consideration in our journals. Authors should disclose details of preprint posting during the submission process or at any other point during consideration in the journal. Once the manuscript is published, it is the author''s responsibility to ensure that the preprint record is updated with a publication reference, including the DOI and a URL link to the published version of the article on the journal website. Please see here for further information on preprint sharing: https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/journal-author/journal-author-helpdesk/submission/1302#c16721550 Peer Review Process Upon submission, manuscripts are assessed by the editorial team to ensure they fit within the aims and scope of the journal and are also checked for plagiarism. All suitable submissions are then subject to a comprehensive single-blind peer review. Reviewers are selected based on their relevant expertise and publication history in the subject area. The journal has an extensive pool of editorial and advisory board members who have been selected to assist with peer review based on the afore-mentioned criteria. At least two extensive reviews are required to make the editorial decision. Where reviewer recommendations are conflicted, the editorial board will be contacted for further advice and a presiding decision. Manuscripts are then either accepted, rejected or authors are required to make major or minor revisions (both reviewer comments and editorial comments may need to be addressed). Once a revised manuscript is re-submitted, it is assessed along with the responses to reviewer comments and if it has been adequately revised it will be accepted for publication. Accepted manuscripts are then copyedited and typeset by the production team before online publication. Appeals against decisions following peer review are considered on a case-by-case basis and should be sent to the journal editor, and authors are welcome to make rebuttals against individual reviewer comments if appropriate. Considering the time and effort required for a detailed peer review we reward our regular reviewers with the opportunity to publish without publication fees (pending peer review) for every three reviews completed per calendar year.
