A naloxone population pharmacokinetic (PK) model was generated using data from two naloxone auto-injector (NAI) clinical PK studies. Mechanistic OIRD PK-pharmacodynamic (PD) models were constructed using published data for buprenorphine, morphine, and fentanyl. Due to the lack of published carfentanil data in humans, interspecies allometric scaling methods were used to predict carfentanil PK parameters in humans. A PD model of a combined effect-compartment and receptor kinetics model with a linear relationship between ventilation and carbon dioxide was used to predict the respiratory depression induced by carfentanil. Model-based simulations were performed using the naloxone population PK model and the constructed mechanistic OIRD PK–PD models. Changes in ventilation were assessed after opioid exposure and treatment with 2 mg naloxone or one or two doses of 10 mg naloxone. A higher percentage of subjects recovered back to the rescue ventilation thresholds and/or had a faster recovery to 40% or 70% of baseline ventilation with 10 mg compared with 2 mg naloxone. A second dose of 10 mg naloxone, administered 60 min post-opioid exposure, expedited recovery to 85% of baseline ventilation and delayed time to renarcotization compared with a single dose.

The transfer of drugs into breast milk and subsequent exposure to nursing infants raises important considerations for drug safety and efficacy.

Physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling provides a valuable tool for predicting drug exposure in lactating individuals and their infants. This tutorial offers an overview of PBPK modeling in lactation research, covering key concepts, prediction approaches, and best practices for model development and application. We delve into milk composition dynamics and its influence on drug transfer into breast milk, addressing modeling considerations, knowledge gaps, and future research directions. Practical examples and case studies illustrate PBPK modeling application in lactation studies. We demonstrate how prediction algorithms for Milk-to-Plasma (M/P) ratios within a PBPK framework can support scenarios lacking clinical lactation data or extend the utility of available lactation clinical data to support further untested clinical scenarios. This tutorial aims to assist researchers and clinicians in understanding and applying PBPK modeling to understand and support clinical scenarios in breastfeeding mothers.

Especially, recombinant FIX-Fc fusion protein (rFIXFc; Alprolix®) exhibits a rapid distribution phase, potentially due to binding to type IV collagen (Col4) in the extravascular space. Studies suggest that the presence of extravascular rFIXFc is protective against bleeding as without measurable FIX activity in plasma, and no extra bleeding seems to occur. The physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for rFIXFc which we describe in this study, is able to accurately predict the observed concentration-time profiles of rFIXFc in plasma and is able to quantify the binding of rFIXFc to Col4 in the extravascular space after an intravenous dose of 50 IU/kg rFIXFc in a male population. Our model predicts that the total AUC of rFIXFc bound to Col4 in the extravascular space is approximately 19 times higher compared to the AUC of rFIXFc in plasma. This suggests that rFIXFc present in the extravascular compartment may play an important role in achieving hemostasis after rFIXFc administration.

Optimal characterization of the human PK and target binding for mAbs requires data obtained after intravenous (IV) administration which can be combined with subcutaneous (SC) data to further this characterization. Integration of free and/or total target measurements in a population TMDD model will allow quantification of target engagement which is the first step in the cascade leading to efficacy. However, the assays for determination of free target concentrations are analytically challenging and are inherently biased to overpredict the true concentrations in the presence of mAb:target complexes. For that reason, the objective of the current research was to evaluate the predictive value of free target concentrations in a TMDD model developed using PK and total target observations only. Further, a secondary objective was to demonstrate that prediction of SC data is feasible, based on an existing IV model and typical values of mAb parameters reported for SC absorption.
