We analyzed prescription rates of OATP1B substrates and inhibitors and estimated the prevalence of pDDIs, assessed the consistency of pDDI identification across different drug interaction databases, and performed a literature review of identified OATP1B-based pDDIs. The identification of pDDIs across different drug databases showed inconsistencies, with limited overlap and variability in reported interactions. Among hospitalized patients, 6954 (15.5%) received OATP1B substrates, while 408 (0.9%) received inhibitors, leading to 106 pDDIs observed in 99 patients (0.2%). The pDDI rate varied significantly depending on the inhibitor used, reaching up to 39.1% in patients treated with ciclosporin. Statins accounted for a large proportion of pDDIs, emphasizing the potential risks, especially in multidrug regimens. Commonly involved inhibitors included FDA drugs such as ciclosporin, clarithromycin, and rifampicin. The clinical relevance of these interactions remains uncertain due to the limited availability of supporting evidence and the restricted list of well-characterized OATP1B substrates and inhibitors.

Drug characteristics and benefit ratings were obtained from public databases and HTA agencies, following the established method.

However, the guidelines required, in principle, to conduct a Japanese Phase 1 study (J-Ph1) to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of investigational drugs in Japanese before joining MRCTs [<span>1</span>]. This requirement would be important in terms of safety risk mitigation in Japanese participants to be enrolled in MRCTs. On the other hand, the conduct of an additional J-Ph1 prior to MRCTs could have a negative impact on the strategy for overseas pharmaceutical companies, especially emerging biopharma companies (EBPs), in developing their innovative drugs in Japan, contributing to “drug loss,” which has recently been a major problem in Japan [<span>5</span>].</p><p>To address the drug loss in Japan, the MHLW released a new guideline in December 2023 [<span>6</span>], which states that, in principle, an additional J-Ph1 before MRCTs is not needed unless it is deemed necessary after assessing whether the safety and tolerability of Japanese participants in the MRCTs can be explained, and the safety is clinically acceptable and manageable based on all the available data. Figure 1 shows a summary of the key consideration points introduced by the guideline.
