The aim of this study was to develop a population pharmacokinetic/toxicodynamic (PKTD) model of cisplatin-induced kidney injury that incorporated plasma total platinum and urinary kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) concentrations. Cancer patients receiving their first or second round of cisplatin-containing chemotherapy (n=39) were prospectively randomized to a 5-HT<sub>3</sub> antagonist (5-HT<sub>3</sub>A) antiemetic (ondansetron, granisetron, or palonosetron) and had blood and urine collected over 10 days. Plasma concentrations of total platinum and urinary concentrations of KIM-1 were used in the development of a nonlinear mixed effect population PKTD model using Phoenix<sup>®</sup> NLME (v8.3, Certara Inc.). A stepwise search was used to test potential covariates that influenced PKTD parameters. A two-compartment model best described the plasma total platinum concentration vs. time data and was expanded to an effect compartment PKTD model incorporating urinary KIM-1 concentrations. Significant covariate effects for the PKTD model included previous cisplatin exposure on the volume of the central compartment (V1), 5-HT<sub>3</sub>A antiemetic treatment on the volume of the peripheral compartment (V2), and baseline urinary KIM-1 levels on the maximum effect (Emax) parameter. The model demonstrated that ondansetron-treated subjects had a 163% increase in exposure to plasma total platinum, a 94% increase in urinary KIM-1 maximum concentrations, and a 235% increase in total urinary KIM-1 excretion compared to palonosetron-treated subjects, suggesting that palonosetron may be a preferred 5-HT<sub>3</sub>A to reduce the risk of cisplatin-induced kidney injury.</p>","PeriodicalId":90230,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pharmacology & clinical toxicology","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11671133/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142901055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ibuprofen, however, has never been associated so far with hypoglycemia in previously healthy non-diabetic individuals and thus, it is not listed as adverse effect in its summary of product characteristics approved by major regulatory authorities. Objective: This study was conducted to assess the causal relationship between ibuprofen and hypoglycemia in diabetic and non-diabetic individuals. Materials and Methods: Analysis of the literature and the WHO global database of individual case safety reports, VigiBase, was made to explore evidence on the association of ibuprofen and hypoglycemia. The unpublished data and the currently availablepublished toxicological, biological, clinical and epidemiological evidence, if any, was systematically organized using Austin Bradford Hill criteria, causality assessment framework, to assess the causal link between ibuprofen and hypoglycemia. Results: In VigiBase, there were 125 cases of hypoglycemia associated with ibuprofen, reported from 19 countries. About 50% had history of diabetes. Ibuprofen was reported as sole suspect in 36.8% of the cases and the only drug administered in18.4%. Hypoglycemia resolved following discontinuation of ibuprofen in 21.6% and recurred in three patients with rechallenge. Outcome was fatal in 10.5%. Where ibuprofen was solely administered, median time-to-onset of hypoglycemia was one-day following administration of the drug. In an experimental study, a significant decrease in blood glucose level was observed at a higher dose of ibuprofen compared to a low-dose. Conclusion: Currently available totality of evidence reflects a possible causal association between ibuprofen and hypoglycemia that need to be substantiated with further studies.","PeriodicalId":90230,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pharmacology & clinical toxicology","volume":"406 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90665447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
