This study aimed to construct a population pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) model for evogliptin in patients with varying degrees of renal disease, including end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis. A total of 688 evogliptin concentration and 598 DPP-4 activity data were available from 46 subjects. PK and PD data analyses were performed using a nonlinear mixed-effects model. The PK of evogliptin was optimally described by a two-compartment model with first-order absorption. The significant covariates in the final model included blood amylase and triglyceride on F1 (relative bioavailability). The simulation findings, together with previously reported PK data, provided evidence of a significant inhibition of the first-pass effect of evogliptin in patients with renal impairment. A direct link sigmoidal <i>E</i>_max model was developed to describe the relationship between evogliptin concentration and DPP-4 inhibition. The PD model predicted significant inhibition of DPP-4 at maximum effect (<i>E</i>_max: 88.9%) and a low EC₅₀ value (1.08 μg/L), indicating the high potency and efficacy of evogliptin.

Establishing a lactation modeling framework can advance our understanding of this topic and potentiate clinical decision making. We expanded the modeling framework previously developed for sotalol using pregabalin as a second prototypical probe compound with similar absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME) properties. Adult oral models were developed in PK-Sim® and used to build a lactation model in MoBi® to simulate drug transfer into human milk. The adult model was applied to breastfeeding pediatrics (ages 1 to 23 months) and subsequently integrated with the lactation model to simulate infant drug exposure according to age, size, and breastfeeding frequency. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model simulations captured the data used for verification both in adults and pediatrics. Lactation simulations captured observed milk and plasma data corresponding to doses of 150 mg administered twice daily to lactating individuals, and estimated a relative infant dose (RID) of approximately 7% of the maternal dose. The infant drug exposure simulations showed peak plasma concentrations of 0.44 μg/mL occurring within the first 2 weeks of life, followed by gradual decline with age after week four. The modeling framework performs well for this second prototypical drug and warrants expansion to other drugs for further validation.

With that it becomes important to assess the validity of the estimation method and the assumptions that must be made. When going beyond the intention to treat analyses that can rely on randomization, causal inference is usually used to discuss the validity of estimation methods for the estimand of interest. In pharmacometrics, mixed-effects models are routinely used to analyze longitudinal clinical trial data; however, they are rarely discussed as a method for causal inference. Here, we evaluate nonlinear mixed-effects modeling and simulation (NLME M&amp;S) in the context of causal inference as a standardization method for longitudinal data in the presence of confounders. Standardization is a well-known method in causal inference to correct for confounding by analyzing and combining results from subgroups of patients. We show that nonlinear mixed-effects modeling is a particular implementation of standardization that conditions on individual parameters described by the random effects of the mixed-effects model. As an example, we use a simulated clinical trial with within-subject dose titration. Being interested in the outcome of the hypothetical situation that patients adhere to the planned treatment schedule, we put assumptions in a causal diagram. From the causal diagram, conditional independence assumptions are derived either by conditioning on the individual parameters or on earlier outcomes.

As such, the lack of established framework for quantitative translation of the clinical pharmacologic correlates of AO-mediated clearance represents an unmet need. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling in the development of AO and dual AO-CYP substrates. PBPK models were developed for capmatinib, idelalisib, lenvatinib, zaleplon, ziprasidone, and zoniporide, incorporating in vitro functional data from human liver subcellular fractions and human hepatocytes. Prediction of metabolic elimination with/without the additional empirical scaling factors (ESFs) was assessed. Clinical pharmacokinetics, human mass balance, and drug–drug interaction (DDI) studies with CYP3A4 modulators, where available, were used to refine/verify the models. Due to the lack of clinically significant AO-DDIs with known AO inhibitors, the fraction metabolized by AO (fm_AO) was verified indirectly. Clearance predictions were improved by using ESFs (GMFE ≤1.4-fold versus up to fivefold with physiologically-based scaling only). Observed fm_i from mass balance studies were crucial for model verification/refinement, as illustrated by capmatinib, where the fm_AO (40%) was otherwise underpredicted up to fourfold. Subsequently, independent DDI studies with ketoconazole, itraconazole, rifampicin, and carbamazepine verified the fm_CYP3A4, with predicted ratios of the area under the concentration–time curve (AUCR) within 1.5-fold of the observations.

However, success in the clinic has been limited due to a phenomenon called IL-12 desensitization – the trend where repeated exposure to IL-12 leads to reduced IL-12 concentrations (pharmacokinetics) and biological effects (pharmacodynamics). Here, we investigated IL-12 pharmacokinetic desensitization via a modeling approach to (i) validate proposed mechanisms in literature and (ii) develop a mathematical model capable of predicting IL-12 pharmacokinetic desensitization. Two potential causes of IL-12 pharmacokinetic desensitization were identified: increased clearance or reduced bioavailability of IL-12 following repeated doses. Increased IL-12 clearance was previously proposed to occur due to the upregulation of IL-12 receptor on T cells that causes increased receptor-mediated clearance in the serum. However, our model with this mechanism, the accelerated-clearance model, failed to capture trends in clinical trial data. Alternatively, our novel reduced-bioavailability model assumed that upregulation of IL-12 receptor on T cells in the lymphatic system leads to IL-12 sequestration, inhibiting the transport to the blood. This model accurately fits IL-12 pharmacokinetic data from three clinical trials, supporting its biological relevance. Using this model, we analyzed the model parameter space to illustrate that IL-12 desensitization occurs over a robust range of parameter values and to identify the conditions required for desensitization. We next simulated local, continuous IL-12 delivery and identified several methods to mitigate systemic IL-12 exposure. Ultimately, our results provide quantitative validation of our proposed mechanism and allow for accurate prediction of IL-12 pharmacokinetics over repeated doses.</p>","PeriodicalId":10774,"journal":{"name":"CPT: Pharmacometrics & Systems Pharmacology","volume":"14 2","pages":"217-228"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/psp4.13258","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142459963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
