RESUMEN
Islatravir is a deoxynucleoside analog being developed for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. Clinical studies are being conducted to evaluate islatravir, administered in combination with other antiretroviral therapies, at doses of 0.25 mg once daily and 2 mg once weekly. In multiple previous clinical studies, islatravir was generally well tolerated, with no clear trend in cardiac adverse events. A trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of islatravir on cardiac repolarization. A randomized, double-blind, active- and placebo-controlled phase 1 trial was conducted, in which a single dose of islatravir 0.75 mg, islatravir 240 mg (supratherapeutic dose), moxifloxacin 400 mg (active control), or placebo was administered. Continuous 12-lead electrocardiogram monitoring was performed before dosing through 24 hours after dosing. QT interval measurements were collected, and safety and pharmacokinetics were evaluated. Sixty-three participants were enrolled, and 59 completed the study. Fridericia's QT correction for heart rate was inadequate; therefore, a population-specific correction was applied (QTcP). The placebo-corrected change from baseline in QTcP (ΔΔQTcP) interval at the observed geometric mean maximum plasma concentration associated with islatravir 0.75 mg and islatravir 240 mg was <10 ms at all time points. Assay sensitivity was confirmed because the use of moxifloxacin 400 mg led to a ΔΔQTcP >10 ms. The pharmacokinetic profile of islatravir was consistent with that of previous studies, and islatravir was generally well tolerated. Results from the current trial suggest that single doses of islatravir as high as 240 mg do not lead to QTc interval prolongation.

Antiretroviral therapy has substantially reduced morbidity, mortality, and disease transmission in people living with HIV. Islatravir is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase translocation inhibitor that inhibits HIV-1 replication by multiple mechanisms of action, and it is in development for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. In preclinical and clinical studies, islatravir had a long half-life (t½) of 3.0 and 8.7 days (72 and 209 hours, respectively); therefore, islatravir is being investigated as a long-acting oral antiretroviral agent. A study was conducted to definitively elucidate the terminal t½ of islatravir and its active form islatravir-triphosphate (islatravir-TP). A single-site, open-label, non-randomized, single-dose phase 1 study was performed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of islatravir in plasma and the pharmacokinetics of islatravir-TP in peripheral blood mononuclear cells after administration of a single oral dose of islatravir 30 mg. Eligible participants were healthy adult males without HIV infection between the ages of 18 and 65 years. Fourteen participants were enrolled. The median time to maximum plasma islatravir concentration was 1 hour. Plasma islatravir concentrations decreased in a biphasic manner, with a t½ of 73 hours. The t½ (percentage geometric coefficient of variation) of islatravir-TP in peripheral blood mononuclear cells through 6 weeks (~1008 hours) after dosing was 8.1 days or 195 hours (25.6%). Islatravir was generally well tolerated with no drug-related adverse events observed. Islatravir-TP has a long intracellular t½, supporting further clinical investigation of islatravir administered at an extended dosing interval.
RESUMEN
Letermovir inhibits renal tubular organic anion transporter 3 (OAT3) in vitro and is predicted to inhibit OAT3 in vivo. Acyclovir, a substrate for OAT3, is likely to be coadministered with letermovir; therefore, letermovir may increase acyclovir concentrations. A drug-drug interaction study was conducted in healthy participants (N = 16) to assess the effect of letermovir on acyclovir pharmacokinetics. On Day 1, participants received a single oral dose of 400 mg acyclovir; on Days 2-7, participants received oral doses of 480 mg letermovir once daily with a single oral dose of 400 mg acyclovir coadministered on Day 7. Coadministration with letermovir resulted in geometric mean ratios (90% confidence intervals) for acyclovir area under the concentration-time curve from administration to infinity and maximum plasma concentration of 1.02 (0.87-1.20) and 0.82 (0.71-0.93), respectively. No notable safety issues were reported. No clinically significant interaction was observed between letermovir and acyclovir in healthy participants and no dose adjustment is required for coadministration.

AIMS: Letermovir, a cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA terminase complex inhibitor, is a substrate of ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein; P-gp), organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP)1B1/3, UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT)1A1, UGT1A3 and possibly ABCG2 (breast cancer resistance protein; BCRP). A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of itraconazole, a prototypic ABCB1/ABCG2 inhibitor, on letermovir pharmacokinetics (PK) and the effects of letermovir on itraconazole PK. METHODS: In an open-label, fixed-sequence study in 14 healthy participants, 200 mg oral itraconazole was administered once daily for 4 days. Following a 10-day washout, 480 mg oral letermovir was administered once daily for 14 days (Days 1-14) and then coadministered with 200 mg itraconazole once daily for 4 days (Days 15-18). Intensive PK sampling was performed for letermovir and itraconazole. PK and safety were evaluated. RESULTS: Letermovir geometric mean ratio (GMR; 90% confidence interval [CI]) for area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to 24 h (AUC0-24 ) was 1.33 (1.17, 1.51) and for maximum concentration (Cmax ) was 1.21 (1.05, 1.39) following administration with/without itraconazole. Itraconazole GMR (90% CI) for AUC0-24 was 0.76 (0.71, 0.81) and for Cmax was 0.84 (0.76, 0.92) following administration with/without letermovir. Coadministration of letermovir with itraconazole was generally well tolerated. CONCLUSIONS: The increase in letermovir exposure with coadministration of itraconazole is likely predominantly due to inhibition of intestinal ABCB1 and potentially ABCG2 transport. The mechanism for the decrease in itraconazole exposure is unknown. The modest changes in letermovir and itraconazole PK are not considered clinically meaningful.

Islatravir (MK-8591) is a high-potency reverse transcriptase translocation inhibitor in development for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. Data from preclinical and clinical studies suggest that ~30% to 60% of islatravir is excreted renally and that islatravir is not a substrate of renal transporters. To assess the impact of renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of islatravir, an open-label phase 1 trial was conducted with individuals with severe renal insufficiency (RI). A single dose of islatravir 60 mg was administered orally to individuals with severe RI (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] <30 mL/min/1.73 m2) and to healthy individuals without renal impairment (matched control group; eGFR ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m2). Safety and tolerability were assessed, and blood samples were collected to measure the pharmacokinetics of islatravir and its major metabolite 4'-ethynyl-2-fluoro-2'deoxyinosine (M4) in plasma, as well as active islatravir-triphosphate (TP) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Plasma islatravir and M4 area under the concentration-time curve from zero to infinity (AUC0-∞) were ~2-fold and ~5-fold higher, respectively, in participants with severe RI relative to controls, whereas islatravir-TP AUC0-∞ was ~1.5-fold higher in the RI group than in the control group. The half-lives of islatravir in plasma and islatravir-TP in PBMCs were longer in participants with severe RI than in controls. These findings are consistent with renal excretion playing a major role in islatravir elimination. A single oral dose of islatravir 60 mg was generally well tolerated. These data provide guidance regarding administration of islatravir in individuals with impaired renal function. (This study has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under registration no. NCT04303156.).

PURPOSE: Patients with chronic cough are typically female and have a mean age of ~ 60 years. However, initial pharmacokinetic (PK) characterization of the P2X3-receptor antagonist gefapixant, developed to treat refractory or unexplained chronic cough, was performed in healthy participants who were predominantly younger adult males. The objective of this Phase 1 study was to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK of gefapixant in younger (18-55 years) and older (65-80 years) males and females. METHODS: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted. Healthy adult participants were stratified into 4 cohorts by age and sex (younger males/females and older males/females) and randomized 4:1 (younger adults) or 3:1 (older adults) to receive gefapixant 300 mg twice daily (BID) for 1 week, followed by gefapixant 600 mg BID for 2 weeks or placebo. Safety, tolerability, and PK were assessed. RESULTS: Of 36 randomized and treated participants, 28 (100%) receiving gefapixant and 6 (75%) receiving placebo reported ≥ 1 adverse event (AE). The most common treatment-related AEs in the gefapixant group were taste related. Predefined renal/urologic AEs were reported by 7 (25%) participants receiving gefapixant (all mild to moderate in severity). Gefapixant exposure was generally lower in younger males compared with younger females and older adults; however, differences may have been due to estimated glomerular filtration rate. CONCLUSION: The safety profile of gefapixant 300-600 mg BID was generally consistent with previous studies. Additional characterization of gefapixant PK as a function of age and sex using population PK modeling is warranted.

MK-8507 is a novel HIV-1 nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor in clinical development with potential for once-weekly oral administration for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. Two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 1 studies in adults without HIV-1 evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple doses of MK-8507; drug interaction with midazolam (a cytochrome P450 3A4 substrate) and food effect were also assessed. In study 1, 16 participants received oral ascending single doses of MK-8507 (2 to 400 mg) or placebo in an alternating fashion. In study 2, 24 participants received ascending single doses of MK-8507 (400 to 1,200 mg) or placebo and multiple doses (once weekly for 3 weeks) of MK-8507 (100 to 400 mg) or placebo. MK-8507 pharmacokinetics were approximately dose proportional at 2 to 1,200 mg. MK-8507 had a time to maximum concentration of 2 to 7 h and a mean terminal half-life of â¼58 to 84 h. MK-8507 doses of ≥100 mg achieved a plasma concentration at 168 h postdose (7 days) associated with antiviral efficacy. A high-fat meal had no clinically meaningful effect on MK-8507 pharmacokinetics, and MK-8507 400 mg once weekly had no clinically meaningful effect on midazolam pharmacokinetics. Single and multiple doses of MK-8507 were generally well tolerated. No trends with dose and no clinically meaningful changes were observed in vital signs, electrocardiograms, and laboratory safety tests. The pharmacokinetics and safety data are supportive of once-weekly oral administration and support further clinical investigation of MK-8507 for the treatment of HIV-1 infection.

WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE: Doravirine is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection. This phase 1 study in healthy adults investigated the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of long-acting parenteral (LAP) microsuspension formulations of doravirine administered as an intramuscular (IM) injection. METHODS: After confirmation of tolerability and safety of oral doravirine, 36 participants were randomized 1:1:1 to receive IM doravirine 200 mg as Treatment A (1 × 1 mL, 20% [200 mg/mL] suspension), B (1 × 0.66 mL, 30% [300 mg/mL] suspension) or C (2 × 0.5 mL, 20% suspension). Blood samples were taken as venous plasma, venous dried blood spots (DBS) and fingerstick DBS. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Plasma concentration-time profiles following IM treatments demonstrated rapid initial doravirine release, with initial peak ~4 days post-injection, followed by decline over the next ~6 days; a second peak was reached at ~24-36 days, corresponding to prolonged and sustained release, with measurable concentrations up to Day 183. Treatment C was associated with highest peak concentrations and shortest time to maximum concentration. Elimination half-lives for all IM formulations were prolonged versus oral administration (~46-58 days vs ~11-15 hours). Oral doravirine and IM doravirine were generally well tolerated; injection-site pain was the most common adverse event for IM doravirine. Doravirine concentrations from DBS samples showed strong correlations to venous plasma concentrations. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSIONS: Novel doravirine LAP IM injection formulations investigated in this study demonstrated sustained plasma doravirine concentrations over a course of >20 weeks.

Doravirine is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus-1 infection, available as a single tablet in combination with other antiretroviral agents or as a fixed-dose regimen with lamivudine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). Alternative formulations of these drugs are being developed for individuals who have difficulty swallowing tablets. Two phase 1 trials were conducted, both in 24 healthy adults, to assess the pharmacokinetics of uncoated and coated oral granule formulations of doravirine, lamivudine, and TDF administered alone and with vanilla pudding or apple sauce. The pharmacokinetics for all uncoated granules, and of coated lamivudine and TDF granules, were similar to those of currently marketed tablets (geometric mean ratios [GMRs] 0.92-1.04). Coated doravirine granules had decreased AUC0-∞ (11%) and Cmax (23%) values versus the tablet. The pharmacokinetics were similar for uncoated and coated doravirine granules administered with or without pudding (GMRs 0.96-1.10); administration with apple sauce increased doravirine AUC0-∞ (26-29%), Cmax (56-59%), and C24 (20-21%) versus administration of granules alone. Lamivudine granules administered with pudding or apple sauce decreased AUC0-∞ and Cmax (14-25%) versus granules alone. Tenofovir AUC0-∞, Cmax, and C24 increased for TDF granules administered with pudding or apple sauce versus alone (11-23%). Pharmacokinetic differences when administering doravirine, lamivudine, or TDF as uncoated or coated granules versus tablets, or when granules were administered with (versus without) pudding or apple sauce, are not considered clinically meaningful, supporting further development of these granule formulations.

Doravirine is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. Due to the high prevalence of HIV-1 and hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfection and coadministration of HIV-1 and HCV treatment, potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs) between doravirine and two HCV treatments were investigated in two phase 1 drug interaction trials in healthy participants. Trial 1 investigated the effect of multiple-dose doravirine and elbasvir + grazoprevir coadministration (N = 12), and trial 2 investigated the effect of single-dose doravirine and ledipasvir-sofosbuvir coadministration (N = 14). Doravirine had no clinically relevant effect on the pharmacokinetics of elbasvir, grazoprevir, ledipasvir, sofosbuvir, or the sofosbuvir metabolite GS-331007. Coadministration of elbasvir + grazoprevir with doravirine moderately increased doravirine area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 h (AUC0-24), maximal concentration (Cmax), and concentration 24 h postdose (C24), with geometric least-squares mean ratio (GMR) with 90% confidence intervals (CI) of 1.56 (1.45, 1.68), 1.41 (1.25, 1.58), and 1.61 (1.45, 1.79), respectively. Doravirine AUC0-∞, Cmax, and C24 values increased slightly following coadministration with ledipasvir-sofosbuvir (GMR [90% CI] of 1.15 [1.07, 1.24], 1.11 [0.97, 1.27], and 1.24 [1.13, 1.36], respectively). The modest increases in doravirine exposure are not clinically meaningful based on the therapeutic profile of doravirine. Effects are likely secondary to cytochrome P450 3A and P-glycoprotein inhibition by grazoprevir and ledipasvir, respectively. Coadministration of doravirine with elbasvir + grazoprevir or ledipasvir-sofosbuvir was generally well tolerated. Clinically relevant DDIs are not expected to occur between doravirine and elbasvir-grazoprevir or ledipasvir-sofosbuvir at the therapeutic doses.

Identifying and understanding potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are vital for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. This article discusses DDIs between doravirine, a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), and cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) substrates and drugs that modulate CYP3A activity. Consistent with previously published in vitro data and DDI trials with the CYP3A substrates midazolam and atorvastatin, doravirine did not have any meaningful impact on the pharmacokinetics of the CYP3A substrates ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel. Coadministration of doravirine with CYP3A inhibitors (ritonavir or ketoconazole) increased doravirine exposure approximately 3-fold. However, these increases were not considered clinically meaningful. Conversely, previously published trials showed that coadministered CYP3A inducers (rifampin and rifabutin) decreased doravirine exposure by 88% and 50%, respectively (K. L. Yee, S. G. Khalilieh, R. I. Sanchez, R. Liu, et al., Clin Drug Investig 37:659-667, 2017 [https://doi.org/10.1007/s40261-017-0513-4]; S. G. Khalilieh, K. L. Yee, R. I. Sanchez, R. Liu, et al., J Clin Pharmacol 58:1044-1052, 2018 [https://doi.org/10.1002/jcph.1103]), while doravirine exposure following prior efavirenz administration led to an initial reduction in doravirine exposure of 62%, but the reduction became less pronounced with time (K. L. Yee, R. I. Sanchez, P. Auger, R. Liu, et al., Antimicrob Agents Chemother 61:e01757-16, 2017 [https://doi.org/10.1128/AAC.01757-16]). Overall, the coadministration of doravirine with CYP3A inhibitors and substrates is, therefore, supported by these data together with efficacy and safety data from clinical trials, while coadministration with strong CYP3A inducers, such as rifampin, cannot be recommended. Concomitant dosing with rifabutin (a CYP3A inducer less potent than rifampin) is acceptable if doravirine dosing is adjusted from once to twice daily; however, the effect of other moderate inducers on doravirine pharmacokinetics is unknown.

The combination of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) inhibitor elbasvir and the NS3/4A protease inhibitor grazoprevir is a potent, once-daily therapy indicated for the treatment of chronic HCV infection in individuals coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We explored the pharmacokinetic interactions of elbasvir and grazoprevir with ritonavir and ritonavir-boosted HIV protease inhibitors in three phase 1 trials. Drug-drug interaction trials with healthy participants were conducted to evaluate the effect of ritonavir on the pharmacokinetics of grazoprevir (n = 10) and the potential two-way pharmacokinetic interactions of elbasvir (n = 30) or grazoprevir (n = 39) when coadministered with ritonavir-boosted atazanavir, lopinavir, or darunavir. Coadministration of ritonavir with grazoprevir increased grazoprevir exposure; the geometric mean ratio (GMR) for grazoprevir plus ritonavir versus grazoprevir alone area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 h (AUC0-24) was 1.91 (90% confidence interval [CI]; 1.31 to 2.79). Grazoprevir exposure was markedly increased with coadministration of atazanavir-ritonavir, lopinavir-ritonavir, and darunavir-ritonavir, with GMRs for grazoprevir AUC0-24 of 10.58 (90% CI, 7.78 to 14.39), 12.86 (90% CI, 10.25 to 16.13), and 7.50 (90% CI, 5.92 to 9.51), respectively. Elbasvir exposure was increased with coadministration of atazanavir-ritonavir, lopinavir-ritonavir, and darunavir-ritonavir, with GMRs for elbasvir AUC0-24 of 4.76 (90% CI, 4.07 to 5.56), 3.71 (90% CI, 3.05 to 4.53), and 1.66 (90% CI, 1.35 to 2.05), respectively. Grazoprevir and elbasvir had little effect on atazanavir, lopinavir, and darunavir pharmacokinetics. Coadministration of elbasvir-grazoprevir with atazanavir-ritonavir, lopinavir-ritonavir, or darunavir-ritonavir is contraindicated, owing to an increase in grazoprevir exposure. Therefore, HIV treatment regimens without HIV protease inhibitors should be considered for HCV/HIV-coinfected individuals who are being treated with elbasvir-grazoprevir.

BACKGROUND: Elbasvir/grazoprevir is a once-daily fixed-dose combination therapy for the treatment of chronic HCV infection, including HCV/HIV coinfection. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the pharmacokinetic interaction of elbasvir and grazoprevir with raltegravir or dolutegravir. METHODS: Three open-label trials in healthy adult participants were conducted. In the raltegravir trials, participants received a single dose of raltegravir 400 mg, a single dose of elbasvir 50 mg or grazoprevir 200 mg, and raltegravir with either elbasvir or grazoprevir. In the dolutegravir trial, participants received a single dose of dolutegravir 50 mg alone or co-administered with once-daily elbasvir 50 mg and grazoprevir 200 mg. RESULTS: The raltegravir AUC0-∞ geometric mean ratio (GMR) (90% CI) was 1.02 (0.81-1.27) with elbasvir and 1.43 (0.89-2.30) with grazoprevir. Dolutegravir AUC0-∞ GMR (90% CI) was 1.16 (1.00-1.34) with elbasvir and grazoprevir. The elbasvir AUC0-∞ GMR (90% CI) was 0.81 (0.57-1.17) with raltegravir and 0.98 (0.93-1.04) with dolutegravir. The grazoprevir AUC0-24 GMR (90% CI) was 0.89 (0.72-1.09) with raltegravir and 0.81 (0.67-0.97) with dolutegravir. CONCLUSIONS: Elbasvir or grazoprevir co-administered with raltegravir or dolutegravir resulted in no clinically meaningful drug-drug interactions and was generally well tolerated. These results support the assertion that no dose adjustments for elbasvir, grazoprevir, raltegravir or dolutegravir are needed for co-administration in HCV/HIV-coinfected people.

PURPOSE: To describe the phase 1 and population pharmacokinetic investigations that support dosing recommendations for elbasvir/grazoprevir (EBR/GZR) in hepatitis C virus-infected people with advanced chronic kidney disease. METHODS: This was an open-label, two-part, multiple-dose trial (MK-5172 PN050; NCT01937975) in 24 non-HCV-infected participants with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or severe renal impairment who received once-daily EBR 50 mg and GZR 100 mg for 10 days. Population pharmacokinetic analyses from the phase 3 C-SURFER study (PN052, NCT02092350) were also conducted. RESULTS: When comparing haemodialysis (HD) and non-HD days in participants with ESRD, geometric mean ratios (GMRs) (90% confidence intervals [CIs]) for EBR and GZR AUC0-24 were 1.14 (1.08-1.21) and 0.97 (0.87-1.09). When comparing ESRD and healthy participants, GMRs (90% CIs) for EBR and GZR AUC0-24 were 0.99 (0.75-1.30) and 0.83 (0.56-1.22) on HD days, and 0.86 (0.65-1.14) and 0.85 (0.58-1.25) on non-HD days. GMRs (90% CIs) for AUC0-24 in participants with severe renal impairment relative to healthy controls were 1.65 (1.09-2.49) for GZR and 1.86 (1.38-2.51) for EBR. In population modelling of data from C-SURFER, absolute geometric means of steady-state EBR AUC0-24 were 2.78 and 3.07 µM*h (HD and non-HD recipients) and GZR AUC0-24 were 1.80 and 2.34 µM*h (HD and non-HD recipients). CONCLUSIONS: EBR/GZR represents an important treatment option for HCV infection in people with severe renal impairment and those with ESRD. No dosage adjustment of EBR/GZR is required in people with any degree of renal impairment, including those receiving dialysis.

Absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination of doravirine (MK-1439), a novel non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, were investigated. Two clinical trials were conducted in healthy subjects: an oral single dose [14 C]doravirine (350 mg, â¼200 µCi) trial (n = 6) and an intravenous (IV) single-dose doravirine (100 µg) trial (n = 12). In vitro metabolism, protein binding, apparent permeability and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) transport studies were conducted to complement the clinical trials. Following oral [14 C]doravirine administration, all of the administered dose was recovered. The absorbed dose was eliminated primarily via metabolism. An oxidative metabolite (M9) was the predominant metabolite in excreta and was the primary circulating metabolite (12.9% of circulating radioactivity). Following IV administration, doravirine clearance and volume of distribution were 3.73 L/h (95% confidence intervals (CI) 3.09, 4.49) and 60.5 L (95% CI 53.7, 68.4), respectively. In vitro, doravirine is not highly bound to plasma proteins (unbound fraction 0.24) and has good passive permeability. The metabolite M9 was generated by cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A)4/5-mediated oxidation. Doravirine was a P-gp substrate but P-gp efflux is not expected to play a significant role in limiting doravirine absorption or to be involved in the elimination of doravirine. In conclusion, doravirine is a low clearance drug, primarily eliminated by CYP3A-mediated metabolism.

OBJECTIVE: Letermovir is an inhibitor of the terminase complex of cytomegalovirus (CMV) used as prophylactic therapy in CMV-seropositive allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. As the combination oral contraceptive (COC) levonorgestrel/ethinyl estradiol (LNG/EE) may be coadministered in this target transplant population, the effects of letermovir on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of LNG and EE were investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a phase I, open-label, fixed-sequence, two-period study conducted in healthy women (18 - 65 years old) of non-childbearing potential (protocol number: MK-8228 035). On day 1 of period 1, participants received a single dose of COC (LNG 0.15 mg/EE 0.03 mg). Following a 7-day washout, oral letermovir 480 mg was administered once-daily on days 1 - 12 of period 2, with a single dose of COC coadministered on day 8. Blood samples were collected to determine LNG and EE PK, and safety was assessed. RESULTS: The AUC0-∞ geometric mean ratios (90% confidence intervals) for COC + letermovir/COC alone were 1.36 (1.30, 1.43) for LNG and 1.42 (1.32, 1.52) for EE, indicating that letermovir coadministration increased COC exposure. Coadministration had no clinically-meaningful effect on Cmax, tmax, or apparent terminal T1/2 for either LNG or EE. All treatments were generally well tolerated. CONCLUSION: Letermovir coadministration with COC resulted in an increase in LNG and EE exposure in healthy adult women; however, levels were within the established safety margins. There was no decrease in LNG or EE exposure with no apparent risk of contraceptive failure on coadministration of letermovir and COC.â©.

Doravirine is a novel nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor in development for use with other antiretroviral therapies to treat human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. Doravirine metabolism predominantly occurs via cytochrome P450 3A with <10% of elimination occurring via the renal pathway. As severe renal impairment can alter the pharmacokinetics (PK) of metabolically eliminated drugs, the effect of severe renal impairment on doravirine PK was assessed. A single dose of doravirine 100 mg was administered to subjects aged 18 to 75 years with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of <30 ml/min/1.73 m2 (severe renal impairment group) and healthy controls with an eGFR of ≥80 ml/min/1.73 m2, matched to the mean of the renal impairment group by age (±10 years) and weight (±10 kg). Doravirine plasma concentrations were determined at regular intervals, and safety was monitored throughout. The geometric mean ratios (90% confidence interval) for severe renal impairment/healthy subjects were 1.43 (1.00, 2.04), 1.38 (0.99, 1.92), and 0.83 (0.61, 1.15) for the plasma doravirine area under the curve from zero to infinity (AUC0-∞), plasma concentration at 24 h postdose (C24), and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), respectively. Doravirine was generally well tolerated in both groups. Based on the overall efficacy, safety, and PK profile of doravirine, the minor effect of severe renal impairment on doravirine PK observed in this study is not considered clinically meaningful. (This study has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under identifier NCT02641067.).

AIMS: Tildrakizumab, an interleukin (IL)-23 inhibitor, is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. Although tildrakizumab is not metabolized by, and does not alter, cytochrome P450 (CYP) expression in vitro, clinically significant pharmacokinetic effects through changes in systemic inflammation, which alters CYP metabolism, have been well documented. At the time of study conduct, the effect of modulation of inflammation/cytokines, including IL-23 inhibition with tildrakizumab, on CYP metabolism, and therefore the potential for disease-drug interactions, in psoriasis patients was unknown. We therefore assessed whether tildrakizumab alters CYP metabolism in subjects with moderate to severe psoriasis. METHODS: This was an open-label, fixed-sequence, two-period trial. In Period 1 (Day 1), subjects received an oral CYP probe cocktail of up to five drugs (midazolam 2 mg [3A4], caffeine 200 mg [1A2], warfarin 10 mg [2C9], omeprazole 40 mg [2C19] and dextromethorphan 30 mg [2D6]), followed by a 7-day washout. In Period 2, subjects received tildrakizumab 200 mg subcutaneously on Days 1 and 29 and a second CYP probe cocktail on Day 57. Substrate or metabolite pharmacokinetics, safety and changes in Psoriasis Severity Area Index (PASI), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), were assessed. RESULTS: Twenty subjects (13 men, 7 women) were enrolled. Tildrakizumab had no clinically relevant effect on the pharmacokinetics of any of the probe substrates tested. On Day 57 of Period 2, the median percentage decrease from baseline in PASI score following tildrakizumab was ~93%. There were no clinically relevant changes in IL-6 or hs-CRP. Treatment with tildrakizumab was generally well tolerated. CONCLUSION: In subjects with moderate to severe psoriasis, tildrakizumab 200 mg did not have a discernible effect on CYP metabolism. The potential for clinically significant drug-drug interactions (DDIs) with tildrakizumab in patients with psoriasis is low. The difference in the occurrence of DDIs seen with anti-inflammatory agents in rheumatoid arthritis patients compared with psoriasis patients may be due to the much greater extent of systemic inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis as compared to psoriasis.

Doravirine is a novel, highly potent, nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor that is administered once daily and that is in development for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. In vitro and clinical data suggest that doravirine is unlikely to cause significant drug-drug interactions via major drug-metabolizing enzymes or transporters. As a common HIV-1 infection comorbidity, hypercholesterolemia is often treated with statins, including the commonly prescribed atorvastatin. Atorvastatin is subject to drug-drug interactions with cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitors. Increased exposure due to CYP3A4 inhibition may lead to serious adverse events (AEs), including rhabdomyolysis. Furthermore, atorvastatin is a substrate for breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), of which doravirine may be a weak inhibitor; this may increase atorvastatin exposure. The potential of doravirine to affect atorvastatin pharmacokinetics was investigated in a two-period, fixed-sequence study in healthy individuals. In period 1, a single dose of atorvastatin at 20 mg was administered followed by a 72-h washout. In period 2, doravirine at 100 mg was administered once daily for 8 days, with a single dose of atorvastatin at 20 mg concomitantly being administered on day 5. Sixteen subjects were enrolled, and 14 completed the trial; 2 discontinued due to AEs unrelated to the treatment. The atorvastatin area under the curve from time zero to infinity was similar with and without doravirine (geometric mean ratio [GMR] for doravirine-atorvastatin/atorvastatin, 0.98; 90% confidence interval [CI], 0.90 to 1.06), while the maximum concentration decreased by 33% (GMR for doravirine-atorvastatin/atorvastatin, 0.67; 90% CI, 0.52 to 0.85). These changes were deemed not to be clinically meaningful. Both of the study drugs were generally well tolerated. Doravirine had no clinically relevant effect on atorvastatin pharmacokinetics in healthy subjects, providing support for the coadministration of doravirine and atorvastatin.

Doravirine is a novel, potent nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) for the treatment of patients with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection that demonstrates a high genetic barrier to resistance and that has been well tolerated in studies to date. Doravirine is a candidate for patients switching from less-well-tolerated NNRTIs, such as efavirenz. While doravirine is a cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) substrate, efavirenz induces CYP3A4; therefore, the pharmacokinetics of both drugs following a switch from efavirenz to doravirine were assessed. This was a 3-period, fixed-sequence, open-label study. Healthy adults were dosed with doravirine at 100 mg for 5 days once daily (QD) (period 1). Following a 7-day washout, efavirenz was administered at 600 mg QD for 14 days (period 2). Subsequently, doravirine was administered at 100 mg QD for 14 days (period 3). Blood samples were collected for pharmacokinetic analyses. Twenty healthy subjects were enrolled, and 17 completed the study. One day after efavirenz cessation, the doravirine area under the concentration-time curve from predosing to 24 h postdosing (AUC0-24), maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax), and observed plasma concentration at 24 h postdosing (C24) were reduced by 62%, 35%, and 85%, respectively, compared with the values with no efavirenz pretreatment. These decreases recovered to 32%, 14%, and 50% for AUC0-24, Cmax, and C24, respectively, by day 14 after efavirenz cessation. The doravirine C24 reached projected therapeutic trough concentrations, based on in vitro efficacy, on day 2 following efavirenz cessation. Geometric mean efavirenz concentrations were 3,180 ng/ml on day 1 and 95.7 ng/ml on day 15, and efavirenz was present at therapeutic concentrations (>1,000 ng/ml) until day 4. Though doravirine exposure was transiently decreased following efavirenz treatment cessation, dose adjustment may not be necessary to maintain therapeutic concentrations of at least one drug during switching in a virologically suppressed population.
