Sotorasib is a small molecule drug that specifically and irreversibly inhibits the KRAS p.G12C mutant protein. This analysis investigated the impact of a high-calorie high-fat meal on the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of sotorasib in both healthy volunteers and patients with KRAS G12C advanced solid tumors. Each subject received a single oral dose of 360 or 960 mg of sotorasib under fasted conditions or with a high-fat meal (fed conditions). The geometric least squares means (GLSM) ratios (fed/fasted) for 360 mg of sotorasib Cmax and AUCinf were 1.03 and 1.38, respectively, in healthy volunteers (N = 14). The GLSM ratios (fed/fasted) for Cmax and AUC0-24h were 1.38 and 1.75, respectively, with 360 mg of sotorasib in cancer patients (N = 2). The GLSM ratios (fed/fasted) for Cmax and AUC0-24h were 0.660 and 1.25, respectively, with 960 mg of sotorasib in cancer patients (N = 8). Sotorasib was well tolerated in fast and fed conditions. The impact of a high-fat meal on sotorasib exposure is less than a 2-fold increase or decrease in Cmax and AUCs.

Eltrombopag, a nonpeptide thrombopoietin receptor agonist, is primarily used for treating immune thrombocytopenic purpura. The aim of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetic profile and food-drug interaction of test and reference eltrombopag olamine tablets among healthy Chinese volunteers. An open, randomized, single-dose, 2-period crossover design was employed, involving fasting and fed conditions with a 10-day washout period. Ninety-six healthy volunteers received a single oral dose of 25 mg of the 2 eltrombopag formulations, with 48 participants in each group: fasting volunteers and those consuming a high-fat, low-calcium meal. Plasma eltrombopag concentrations were analyzed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and pharmacokinetic parameters were derived from the concentration-time profiles. The geometric mean ratios, with 90% confidence intervals, for the maximum plasma concentration, area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to the last measurable concentration, and area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity fell within the bioequivalence acceptance criteria (80%-125%) under both fasting and fed conditions, indicating bioequivalence between the test and reference formulations. Administration of eltrombopag with a high-fat, low-calcium diet reduced the net systemic exposure by approximately 40%. Adverse events were recorded, and no serious adverse events were observed in either fasting or fed conditions. In conclusion, eltrombopag is well tolerated and exhibits a favorable safety profile in the Chinese population. The achievement of bioequivalence under fasting and fed conditions supports the demonstration of biosimilarity between the test and reference formulations.

This study aimed to establish a population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) model using data from 2 clinical trials of zimberelimab, evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PKs) of zimberelimab, explore the feasibility of 360 mg once every 3 weeks (Q3W) and 480 mg once every 4 weeks (Q4W) as alternative dosage regimens, and analyze the exposure-response relationship of the efficacy and safety of zimberelimab for advanced tumors. The PKs of zimberelimab were described using the 2-compartment model with time-dependent nonlinear elimination. The prediction-corrected visual predictive check was used to evaluate the model's predictive value on blood drug concentrations. In total, 2165 PK observations from 321 participants were included. The PopPK model demonstrated a high level of concordance between the observed data and the predicted values, indicative of a robust fit to the PK data of zimberelimab. The PK variables were similar for the 240 mg once every 2 weeks, 360 mg Q3W, and 480 mg Q4W regimens. No covariates significantly affecting the PK variables in the final model were found. The exposure variables of zimberelimab have no obvious correlations with efficacy and safety, and 360 mg Q3W and 480 mg Q4W are worthy of further study. This study establishes a PopPK model and analyzes the exposure-response relationship of zimberelimab, which helps to explore the potential for alternative dosing regimens and offers a foundation for optimizing therapeutic strategies for advanced cancer patients through simulation-based methods.

Atogepant, an oral calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist, is approved for the preventive treatment of migraine. A phase 1, open-label, single-dose, 2-period crossover study evaluated the effect of a high-fat meal on the pharmacokinetics and safety of atogepant in 20 healthy adults. Administration of atogepant 60 mg immediate-release (IR) tablets under fed conditions reduced the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from 0 to time t and from 0 to time infinity by approximately 18% and reduced the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) by 22%. The 90% confidence intervals for the geometric mean ratios of Cmax and AUC were not contained within the bioequivalence limits of 80%-125%. There was no change in the median time to maximum plasma concentration in the fed versus fasted state. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) was similar between fed and fasted conditions. Four TEAEs were considered related to study intervention and were reported after participants received atogepant under fasted conditions (3 participants). A single-dose atogepant 60 mg IR tablet was safe and tolerated under both fed and fasted states. Due to the wide effective dose range of 10-60 mg/day for atogepant for the preventive treatment of migraine, the food effect on its pharmacokinetics is not considered clinically relevant.

Avacopan is currently approved in several regions of the world as an oral treatment in combination with standard therapy, including glucocorticoids, for adult patients with severe active antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody-associated vasculitis. In vitro and clinical studies have established that avacopan is primarily eliminated through cytochrome P450 3A4 metabolism. This Phase 1, open-label, single-dose study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT06004934) was conducted to evaluate the effect of mild (n = 8) or moderate (n = 8) hepatic impairment compared with normal hepatic function (n = 8) on the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of a single oral dose of 30 mg of avacopan in patients without active antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody-associated vasculitis. Relative to participants with normal hepatic function, in participants with mild or moderate hepatic impairment, the avacopan area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity geometric mean ratios (90% confidence intervals) were 1.3 (0.9-2.0) and 1.1 (0.6-2.0), respectively, and the avacopan maximum plasma concentration geometric mean ratios (90% CIs) were 1.0 (0.8-1.3) and 0.8 (0.6-1.1), respectively. The geometric mean ratios of metabolite M1 also revealed no pharmacokinetically relevant increase in the peak exposure of M1 in participants with mild or moderate hepatic impairment. Thus, no avacopan dosage adjustment is necessary for patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment.

Avacopan 30 mg twice daily (BID) is approved for the treatment of severe active antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody–associated vasculitis (granulomatosis with polyangiitis and microscopic polyangiitis). Food effect on avacopan pharmacokinetics (PKs) and PK bridging in Japanese participants were examined through 2 phase 1 studies involving healthy adult participants. In Study 1, an open-label, crossover trial, participants received oral administration of a single 30-mg dose of avacopan under fasted and fed conditions. Study 2 was a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled trial in Caucasian and Japanese participants: Part A investigated single doses of 10 and 30 mg of avacopan under fasted and fed conditions and Part B investigated 30 and 50 mg BID avacopan. The PKs of single-dose administrations of 10 and 30 mg in Japanese participants was compared with that in Caucasian participants under fasted conditions. Food substantially increased plasma avacopan area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to time infinity (AUC0-inf) by 1.72-fold, supporting the recommendation of taking avacopan with food. Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) remained relatively unchanged. The median time to reach Cmax (tmax) was delayed by 3 hours. No significant food effect was observed on the active metabolite CCX168-M1 (M1) AUC. Avacopan and M1 exposures were <1.5-fold higher in Japanese participants than in Caucasian participants following multiple-dose administration of avacopan.

Myocardial reperfusion injury (MRI) accounts for up to 50% of the final size in acute myocardial infarction and other conditions associated with ischemia-reperfusion. Currently, there is still no therapy to prevent MRI, but it is well known that oxidative stress has a key role in its mechanism. We previously reduced MRI in rats through a combined antioxidant therapy (CAT) of ascorbic acid, N-acetylcysteine, and deferoxamine. This study determines the safety and pharmacokinetics of CAT in a Phase I clinical trial. Healthy subjects (n = 18) were randomized 2:1 to CAT or placebo (NaCl 0.9% i.v.). Two different doses/infusion rates of CATs were tested in a single 90-minute intravenous infusion. Blood samples were collected at specific times for 180 minutes to measure plasma drug concentrations (ascorbic acid, N-acetylcysteine, and deferoxamine) and oxidative stress biomarkers. Adverse events were registered during infusion and followed for 30 days. Both CAT1 and CAT2 significantly increased the CAT drug concentrations compared to placebo (P < .05). Most of the pharmacokinetic parameters were similar between CAT1 and CAT2. In total, 6 adverse events were reported, all nonserious and observed in CAT1. The ferric-reducing ability of plasma (an antioxidant biomarker) increased in both CAT groups compared to placebo (P < .001). The CAT is safe in humans and a potential treatment for patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing reperfusion therapy.

SERENE UC (NCT02065622) evaluated whether a higher adalimumab induction regimen improved patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) response, but a flat dose-response relationship was found in the induction study. We investigated exposure-response (ER) relationships in induction and maintenance studies considering patients’ baseline characteristics. Adalimumab exposures were simulated using the established population pharmacokinetic model. Multivariable logistic regressions were used to assess the efficacy endpoints (clinical remission, endoscopic remission, endoscopic improvement) at weeks 8 and 52. In the induction study, an increasing ER trend with heterogeneity between induction regimens was shown, suggesting average concentration (Cavg) had a significant impact on primary efficacy endpoints within each group. However, data were not described by a single ER curve. Using inverse effective clearance as the exposure metric described trends across induction regimens with a single curve. Patients with inherently lower effective adalimumab clearance responded better. The patient response rates at week 52 showed no heterogeneity. A short-term increase in adalimumab dose did not drive better responses for induction, and apparent ER relationships were better explained by patient-inherent lower clearance. Conversely, during maintenance up to week 52, increasing the concentration via dose translated to better responses more robustly. The ER findings for SERENE UC were consistent with SERENE CD.

We investigated exposure-response relationships in induction and maintenance studies considering patients’ baseline characteristics. Adalimumab exposures were simulated using the established population pharmacokinetic model. Efficacy end points (clinical remission/endoscopic response) at Weeks 4, 12, and 56 were evaluated in exposure-response analyses using multivariable logistic regression. Analyses showed an increasing trend with heterogeneity between induction regimens, which suggested that average concentration has an impact on coprimary efficacy end points within each group, but data did not fit a single-response curve. Although higher concentrations within arms were associated with improved outcomes, increasing the concentration through a higher induction dose was not associated with increasing clinical remission/endoscopic response at Week 4/12. A model including inverse effective clearance eliminated heterogeneity and described trends across induction regimens with a single curve. In the maintenance study, the response rates at Week 56 showed no heterogeneity. In the induction study, patients with lower effective adalimumab clearance responded better, whereas in the maintenance study average concentration drove primary efficacy end points at Week 56. Research extending these findings to other indications is needed.

This study investigates the pharmacokinetic properties and bioequivalence of 2 formulations of clopidogrel tablets administered to a cohort of healthy Moroccan male volunteers. The primary objective was to assess the rate and extent of drug absorption from the test formulation in comparison to a reference formulation, focusing on critical parameters including maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to the last measurable time (AUC0-t), and area under the concentration-time curve extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-∞). The results revealed that the geometric mean ratios of Cmax, AUC0-t, and AUC0–∞ for the test formulation relative to the reference formulation were 105.7%, 105.6%, and 105.6%, respectively. The 90% confidence intervals for these parameters fell within the predefined bioequivalence range of 80%-125%, indicating a statistically and clinically equivalent performance between the 2 formulations. This investigation sheds light on the pharmacokinetic behavior of clopidogrel in the context of the Moroccan male population, offering valuable insights into the comparability of formulations.
