Phase I Clinical Trials

PURPOSE: To characterize the pharmacokinetics of topotecan in a population model that would identify patient variables or covariates that appreciably impacted on its disposition. PATIENTS AND METHODS: All data were collected from 82 patients entered in four different phase I trials that were previously reported as separate studies from 1992 to 1996. All patients received topotecan as a 30-minute constant-rate infusion on a daily-times-five schedule and were selected for this study because their daily dose did not exceed 2.0 mg/m2. Among the 82 patients were 30 patients classified as having renal insufficiency and 13 patients with hepatic dysfunction. The population pharmacokinetic model was built in sequential manner, starting with a covariate-free model and progressing to a covariate model with the aid of generalized additive modeling. RESULTS: A linear two-compartment model characterized total topotecan plasma concentrations (n = 899). Four primary pharmacokinetic parameters (total clearance, volume of the central compartment, distributional clearance, and volume of the peripheral compartment) were related to various combinations of covariates. The relationship for total clearance (TVCL [L/h] = 32.0 + [0.356(WT − 71) + 0.308(HT − 168.5) − 8.42(SCR − 1.1)] × [1 + 0.671 sex]) was dependent on the patients’ weight (WT), height (HT), serum creatinine (SCR), and sex and had a moderate ability to predict (r2 = 0.64) each patient’s individual clearance value. The addition of covariates to the population model improved the prediction errors, particularly for clearance. Removal of 10 outlying patients from the analysis improved the ability of the model to predict individual clearance values (r2 = 0.77). CONCLUSION: A population pharmacokinetic model for total topotecan has been developed that incorporates measures of body size and renal function to predict total clearance. The model can be used prospectively to obtain a revised and validated model that can then be used to design individualized dosing regimens.

PURPOSE: N-(3-Chloro-7-indolyl)-1,4-benzenedisulfonamide (E7070) is a novel sulfonamide anticancer agent currently in phase II clinical development for the treatment of solid tumors. Four phase I studies have been finalized, with E7070 administered at four different treatment schedules to identify the maximum-tolerated dose and the dose-limiting toxicities. Pharmacokinetic analyses of all studies revealed E7070 to have nonlinear pharmacokinetics. A population pharmacokinetic model was designed and validated to describe the pharmacokinetics of E7070 at all four treatment schedules and to identify the possible influences of patient characteristics on the pharmacokinetic parameters. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Plasma concentration-time data of all patients (n = 143) were fitted to several pharmacokinetic models using NONMEM. Seventeen covariables were investigated for their relation with individual pharmacokinetic parameters. A bootstrap procedure was performed to check the validity of the model. RESULTS: The data were best described using a three-compartment model with nonlinear distribution to a peripheral compartment and two parallel pathways of elimination from the central compartment: a linear and a saturable pathway. Body-surface area (BSA) was significantly correlated to both the volume of distribution of the central compartment and to the maximal elimination capacity. The fits of 500 bootstrap replicates of the data set demonstrated the robustness of the developed population pharmacokinetic model. CONCLUSION: A population pharmacokinetic model has been designed and validated that accurately describes the data of four phase I studies with E7070. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that BSA-guided dosing for E7070 is important.

ABSTRACTRifampin, together with isoniazid, has been the backbone of the current first-line treatment of tuberculosis (TB). The ratio of the area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 h (AUC0–24) to the MIC is the best predictive pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic parameter for determinations of efficacy. The objective of this study was to develop an optimal sampling procedure based on population pharmacokinetics to predict AUC0–24values. Patients received rifampin orally once daily as part of their anti-TB treatment. A one-compartmental pharmacokinetic population model with first-order absorption and lag time was developed using observed rifampin plasma concentrations from 55 patients. The population pharmacokinetic model was developed using an iterative two-stage Bayesian procedure and was cross-validated. Optimal sampling strategies were calculated using Monte Carlo simulation (n= 1,000). The geometric mean AUC0–24value was 41.5 (range, 13.5 to 117) mg · h/liter. The median time to maximum concentration of drug in serum (Tmax) was 2.2 h, ranging from 0.4 to 5.7 h. This wide range indicates that obtaining a concentration level at 2 h (C2) would not capture the peak concentration in a large proportion of the population. Optimal sampling using concentrations at 1, 3, and 8 h postdosing was considered clinically suitable with anr2value of 0.96, a root mean squared error value of 13.2%, and a prediction bias value of −0.4%. This study showed that the rifampin AUC0–24in TB patients can be predicted with acceptable accuracy and precision using the developed population pharmacokinetic model with optimal sampling at time points 1, 3, and 8 h.

The aims of this study were: (1) to perform population pharmacokinetic analysis of cefaclor in healthy Korean subjects, and (2) to investigate possible effects of various covariates on pharmacokinetic parameters of cefaclor. Although cefaclor belongs to the cephalosporin family antibiotic that has been used in various indications, there have been very few population studies on factors affecting its pharmacokinetics. Therefore, this study is very important in that effective therapy could be possible through a population pharmacokinetic study that explores effective covariates related to cefaclor pharmacokinetic diversity between individuals. Pharmacokinetic results of 48 subjects with physical and biochemical parameters were used for the population pharmacokinetic analysis of cefaclor. A one-compartment with lag-time and first-order absorption/elimination was constructed as a base model and extended to include covariates that could influence between-subject variability. Creatinine clearance and body weight significantly influenced systemic clearance and distribution volume of cefaclor. Cefaclor’s final population pharmacokinetic model was validated and some of the population’s pharmacokinetic diversity could be explained. Herein, we first describe the establishment of a population pharmacokinetic model of cefaclor for healthy Koreans that might be useful for customizing cefaclor or exploring additional covariates in patients.

Abstract Purpose A variety of diagnostic methods are available to validate the performance of population pharmacokinetic models. Internal validation, which applies these methods to the model building dataset and to additional data generated through Monte Carlo simulations, is often sufficient, but external validation, which requires a new dataset, is considered a more rigorous approach, especially if the model is to be used for predictive purposes. Our first objective was to validate a previously published population pharmacokinetic model of darunavir, an HIV protease inhibitor boosted with ritonavir or cobicistat. Our second objective was to use this model to derive optimal sampling strategies that maximize the amount of information collected with as few pharmacokinetic samples as possible. Methods A validation dataset comprising 164 sparsely sampled individuals using ritonavir-boosted darunavir was used for validation. Standard plots of predictions and residuals, NPDE, visual predictive check, and bootstrapping were applied to both the validation set and the combined learning/validation set in NONMEM to assess model performance. D-optimal designs for darunavir were then calculated in PopED and further evaluated in NONMEM through simulations. Results External validation confirmed model robustness and accuracy in most scenarios but also highlighted several limitations. The best one-, two-, and three-point sampling strategies were determined to be pre-dose (0 h); 0 and 4 h; and 1, 4, and 19 h, respectively. A combination of samples at 0, 1, and 4 h was comparable to the optimal three-point strategy. These could be used to reliably estimate individual pharmacokinetic parameters, although with fewer samples, precision decreased and the number of outliers increased significantly. Conclusions Optimal sampling strategies derived from this model could be used in clinical practice to enhance therapeutic drug monitoring or to conduct additional pharmacokinetic studies.

The Impact

Background: The Pharmacokinetics of Methotrexate (MTX) has been reported to show significant intersubject variability. MTX is metabolized by SHMT1 and transported by OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 both of which show genetic polymorphisms. The non-genetic and genetic factors may influence the pharmacokinetics of MTX. Objective: This study aimed to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of MTX in Chinese patients and to investigate the effect of various non-genetic factors and genetic variants of OATP1B1, OATP1B3 on MTX’s pharmacokinetics. Method: MTX concentration and clinical characteristics data were collected from 71 rheumatoid arthritis patients. For each patient, SLC19A1, SHMT1, OATP1B1, and OATP1B3 genotyping were tested. Population pharmacokinetic analysis was performed by Nonlinear Mixed-Effect Modeling (NONMEM). MTX pharmacokinetic properties analysis was executed using the one-compartment pharmacokinetic model which incorporated first-order conditional estimation methods with interaction. Besides, the impact of genetic factors and demographic factors on MTX disposition were explored. Results: All the genotypes of steady-state plasma concentrations and OATP1B1 rs4149056, OATP1B1 rs2306283, and OATP1B3 rs7311358 were determined. The detected blood drug concentration reached the standard. Genotypes were all measured. At the same time, the population pharmacokinetic model of methotrexate was obtained CL(L·h-1) =8.25× e0.167× SNP (SNP: SLCO1B1 388A/A=3; SLCO1B1 388A/G=2; SLCO1B1 388G/G=1); V(L)= 32.8; Ka(h- 1)=1.69. Conclusion: : In our study, it was showed that OATP1B1-388 G>A SNP had a significant effect on CL/F. The factor should be considered when determining MTX dosing. However, prospective studies with a large number of participants are needed to validate the results of this study.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to develop a population pharmacokinetic model and to determine a dosing regimen for caspofungin in critically ill patients. Nine blood samples were drawn per dosing occasion. Fifteen patients with (suspected) invasive candidiasis had one dosing occasion and five had two dosing occasions, measured on day 3 (±1) of treatment. Pmetrics was used for population pharmacokinetic modeling and probability of target attainment (PTA). A target 24-h area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) value of 98 mg·h/liter was used as an efficacy parameter. Secondarily, the AUC/MIC targets of 450, 865, and 1,185 were used to calculate PTAs for Candida glabrata, C. albicans, and C. parapsilosis, respectively. The final 2-compartment model included weight as a covariate on volume of distribution (V). The mean V of the central compartment was 7.71 (standard deviation [SD], 2.70) liters/kg of body weight, the mean elimination constant (Ke) was 0.09 (SD, 0.04) h−1, the rate constant for the caspofungin distribution from the central to the peripheral compartment was 0.44 (SD, 0.39) h−1, and the rate constant for the caspofungin distribution from the peripheral to the central compartment was 0.46 (SD, 0.35) h−1. A loading dose of 2 mg/kg on the first day, followed by 1.25 mg/kg as a maintenance dose, was chosen. With this dose, 98% of the patients were expected to reach the AUC target on the first day and 100% of the patients on the third day. The registered caspofungin dose might not be suitable for critically ill patients who were all overweight (≥120 kg), over 80% of median weight (78 kg), and around 25% of lower weight (≤50 kg). A weight-based dose regimen might be appropriate for achieving adequate exposure of caspofungin in intensive care unit patients.
