Pharmacokinetics of apixaban in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PAP-UP)
CONCLUSION: The pharmacokinetic characteristics of apixaban in subjects who had undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy are not significantly different from those of healthy controls. Though the sample size of this study is small, results suggest that no change to apixaban dose regimen is needed in patients who have had a pancreaticoduodenectomy.PMID:38660886 | DOI:10.5414/CP204502 (Source: Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics)

Hepatic Dysfunction Quantified by HepQuant DuO Outperforms Child-Pugh Classification in Predicting the Pharmacokinetics of Ampreloxetine
Clin Pharmacol Ther. 2024 Apr 23. doi: 10.1002/cpt.3265. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHepQuant tests quantify liver function from clearance of deuterium- and 13C-labeled cholates administered either intravenously and orally (SHUNT) or orally (DuO). Hepatic impairment studies have relied on clinical or laboratory criteria like Child-Pugh classification to categorize the degree of hepatic dysfunction. We compared HepQuant tests with Child-Pugh classification in predicting the pharmacokinetics of ampreloxetine. Twenty-one subjects with hepatic impairment (8 Child-Pugh A, 7 Child-Pugh B, and 6 Child-Pugh C), and 10 age- and s...

From the Randomized AMBORA Trial to Clinical Practice: Comparison of Medication Errors in  Oral Antitumor Therapy
Clin Pharmacol Ther. 2024 Apr 24. doi: 10.1002/cpt.3266. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe randomized AMBORA trial showed that medication errors are frequent in patients treated with oral antitumor therapeutics and that they can be substantially reduced by an intensified clinical pharmacological/pharmaceutical care program. While randomized controlled trials are essential to generate clinical evidence, their generalizability in real-world is not always given. The AMBORA care program was implemented in clinical routine within the AMBORA Competence and Consultation Center (AMBORA Center) at the Comprehensive Cancer Center Er...

Leveraging QSP Models for MIPD: A Case Study for Warfarin/INR
Clin Pharmacol Ther. 2024 Apr 24. doi: 10.1002/cpt.3274. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWarfarin dosing remains challenging due to substantial inter-individual variability, which can lead to unsafe or ineffective therapy with standard dosing. Model-informed precision dosing (MIPD) can help individualize warfarin dosing, requiring the selection of a suitable model. For models developed from clinical data, the dependence on the study design and population raises questions about generalizability. Quantitative system pharmacology (QSP) models promise better extrapolation abilities; however, their complexity and lack of validati...

Safety of Monoclonal Antibodies Inhibiting PCSK9 in Pregnancy: Disproportionality Analysis in VigiBase ®
In conclusion, this study showed that, currently, there are no signals of increased reporting of spontaneous abortion with alirocumab and evolocumab compared with the full database and statins in VigiBase®. Notwithstanding, lack of disproportionality is not synonymous with safety and, as disproportionality analyses depend on the number of safety reports that progressively accumulate in VigiBase®, they should be repeated at regular intervals to confirm the results of the present study.PMID:38637956 | DOI:10.1002/cpt.3269 (Source: Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics)

Phenotype-Genotype Correlation Applying a Cocktail Approach and an Exome Chip Analysis Reveals Further Variants Contributing to Variation of Drug Metabolism
Clin Pharmacol Ther. 2024 Apr 18. doi: 10.1002/cpt.3270. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlthough great progress has been made in the fine-tuning of diplotypes, there is still a need to further improve the predictability of individual phenotypes of pharmacogenetically relevant enzymes. The aim of this study was to analyze the additional contribution of sex and variants identified by exome chip analysis to the metabolic ratio of five probe drugs. A cocktail study applying dextromethorphan, losartan, omeprazole, midazolam, and caffeine was conducted on 200 healthy volunteers. CYP2D6, 2C9, 2C19, 3A4/5, and 1A2 genotypes were an...

Model-Informed Assessment of Probability of Phase 3 Success for Ritlecitinib in Patients with Moderate-to-Severe Ulcerative Colitis
Clin Pharmacol Ther. 2024 Apr 16. doi: 10.1002/cpt.3251. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRitlecitinib, an oral Janus kinase 3/tyrosine kinase expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma family inhibitor, was evaluated in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) in a phase 2b trial. Model-informed drug development strategies were applied to bridge observations from phase 2b to predictions for a proposed phase 3 study design to assess the probability of achieving the target efficacy outcome. A longitudinal exposure-response model of the time course of the 4 Mayo subscores (rectal bleeding, stool frequency, physician's global assessment...

Comparative Safety of Long-Acting vs. Short-Acting Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agents Among Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis
Clin Pharmacol Ther. 2024 Apr 17. doi: 10.1002/cpt.3271. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBoth short-acting (epoetin alfa or beta) and long-acting (darbepoetin alfa or PEG-epoetin) erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) are commonly prescribed for patients with kidney failure undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. We compared the risks of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and of all-cause mortality associated with receipt of short- vs. long-acting ESAs. This retrospective cohort analysis included Medicare hemodialysis beneficiaries aged ≥ 18 years in the United States Renal Data System from January 2015 to December...
