RESUMO
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.
RESUMO
Atogepant, an oral calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist, is approved for the preventive treatment of migraine. Atogepant is a substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), breast cancer resistance protein, organic anion transporting polypeptide transporters, and cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A4 and 2D6. Quinidine is a strong P-gp and CYP2D6 inhibitor. A phase 1 open-label study evaluated the effect of P-gp and CYP2D6 inhibition by quinidine on the pharmacokinetics of atogepant, and the safety and tolerability of atogepant and quinidine gluconate (QG) when co-administered and when given alone in 33 healthy adults. There was no significant change in the atogepant maximum plasma concentration with QG co-administration. The overall systemic exposure, the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (from time 0 to time t or to infinity), of atogepant increased by 25% when co-administered with QG. However, such an increase was not considered clinically relevant. Atogepant did not alter the mean plasma concentration of quinidine at steady state. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) was highest when QG was administered alone (42.4%), which was primarily due to QT prolongation. Most TEAEs reported were mild in severity and resolved within 1-2 days. Co-administration of atogepant with QG did not result in any unexpected tolerability findings in this phase 1 study in healthy participants. The increase in atogepant exposure during QG co-administration could be due to inhibition of CYP2D6 (a minor contributor to atogepant clearance) as well as inhibition of P-gp.

Ubrogepant is a calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist indicated for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults. The objectives of this study were to evaluate (1) single-dose pharmacokinetics (PK) and dose proportionality of ubrogepant in Japanese participants, (2) the safety and tolerability of ubrogepant in healthy Japanese and White participants, and (3) to compare the PK of ubrogepant in Japanese versus White participants. A total of 48 participants were enrolled into 4 cohorts (N = 12 [9 active + 3 placebo] per cohort). A single dose was administered on Day 1 following an overnight fast to assess the PK of ubrogepant at 3 dose levels and test dose proportionality between 25 and 100 mg in Japanese participants. White participants were randomly assigned to ubrogepant (100 mg) or placebo. Dose proportionality was observed in the dose range of 25-100 mg in Japanese participants. Systemic exposure was 20% lower in Japanese participants as compared with White participants, but this difference is unlikely to be clinically relevant. Single doses of ubrogepant (25-100 mg) had a safety profile similar to placebo, and no differences in the safety profile of ubrogepant 100 mg were observed between Japanese versus White participants.

In recent years, the treatment of migraine has experienced a breakthrough in the development of drugs that target the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) signaling pathway. Monoclonal antibodies against the receptor or ligand have been developed for the preventive treatment of migraine; whereas, orally administered small molecule CGRP receptor antagonists, called gepants, have been developed for both acute and/or preventive treatment. Both modalities have demonstrated safe and effective treatment of migraine, reducing the number of migraine days for patients as well as reducing symptoms and improving patient function and overall quality of life. Here, we provide an abridged review of ubrogepant, an oral CGRP receptor antagonist, approved for the acute treatment of migraine. We briefly summarize the role of CGRP in migraine pathophysiology, describing the mechanism of action of ubrogepant in the context of this pathway, the clinical pharmacology properties and the clinical development and outcomes, including safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics, that supported ubrogepant's approval.

Since the discovery of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in 1982, its integral role in migraine pathophysiology, specifically migraine pain, has been demonstrated through cumulative scientific discoveries that have led to the development and approval of migraine-specific therapeutics. Today, eight drugs, including monoclonal antibodies and small molecule CGRP receptor antagonists, known as gepants, have received approval for acute or preventive treatment of migraine. The primary mechanism of these drugs is to block CGRP signaling, thus preventing CGRP-mediated nociception and neurogenic inflammation. Here, we focus on atogepant, a highly potent and selective gepant and the first and only oral medication approved for the preventive treatment of both episodic and chronic migraine in adults. In this article, we summarize the role of CGRP in migraine pathophysiology and the mechanism of action of atogepant. In addition, we provide an overview of atogepant's pharmacology and the key clinical trials and outcomes that have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of atogepant.

Aim: Atogepant, a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist, is a substrate of OATP and metabolized by CYP3A4. Effect of multiple-dose itraconazole (strong CYP3A4 inhibitor), single-dose rifampin (strong OATP inhibitor) and multiple-dose rifampin (strong CYP3A4 inducer) on single-dose pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of atogepant were assessed. Methods: Two phase I, open-label, single-center, crossover trials enrolled healthy adults. Results: Cmax and AUC of atogepant increased when co-administered with itraconazole. Atogepant systemic exposure increased following co-administration with single-dose rifampin. Atogepant systemic exposure decreased with co-administration of multiple-dose rifampin. Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were predominantly mild or moderate, and included constipation, dizziness, headache and nauseas. Conclusion: Systemic exposure of atogepant increased significantly when co-administered with a strong CYP3A4 or OATP inhibitor and decreased significantly when co-administered with a strong CYP3A4 inducer.
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is involved in migraines, a neurological disorder with severe headache and sensory disturbances. A medication called atogepant is a CGRP receptor antagonist that can block the effect of CGRP and is approved by the FDA for the preventive treatment of migraines. If you take a drug, such as itraconazole, a strong inhibitor of an enzyme called CYP3A4, that metabolizes atogepant, at the same time as atogepant, it can increase the amount of atogepant in your body. OATPs are membrane transport proteins that facilitate liver uptake of atogepant. If you take a drug that is an OATP inhibitor with atogepant, it can increase the amount of atogepant in your body. However, if you take a CYP3A4 inducer such as rifampin, which increases the activity of CYP3A4, it can decrease the amount of atogepant in your body. Your doctor may adjust the dose of atogepant accordingly.
RESUMO
Aim: To investigate potential pharmacokinetic interactions between atogepant and esomeprazole. Methods: Atogepant, esomeprazole, or both were administered to 32 healthy adults in an open-label, nonrandomized, crossover study. Systemic exposure (area under the plasma concentration-time curve [AUC] and peak plasma concentration [Cmax]) for atogepant administered in combination versus alone were compared using a linear mixed effects model. Results: Coadministration with esomeprazole delayed atogepant time to Cmax by â¼1.5 h and reduced Cmax by â¼23% with no statistically significant change in AUC compared with atogepant alone. Administration of atogepant 60 mg alone or in combination with esomeprazole 40 mg was well tolerated in healthy adults. Conclusion: Esomeprazole had no clinically meaningful effect on atogepant pharmacokinetics. Clinical Trial Registration: unregistered phase I study.
A clinical study was conducted in 32 healthy adults to evaluate the possibility of interactions between atogepant, a new drug for the prevention of migraine, and esomeprazole, a drug used to reduce stomach acid. The participants of the study were given each drug alone and together to understand the effect they had on the body's ability to absorb, distribute, and excrete each drug alone and together. The results of this study show that there are no clinically important changes in how atogepant is processed by the body when administered with esomeprazole, and they can be safely taken together.

BACKGROUND: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of atogepant for the preventive treatment of chronic migraine. METHODS: We did this randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial at 142 clinical research sites across the USA, the UK, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Poland, Russia, Spain, Sweden, and Taiwan. Adults aged 18-80 years with a 1-year or longer history of chronic migraine were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to receive oral atogepant 30 mg twice a day, oral atogepant 60 mg once a day, or placebo. The primary endpoint was change from baseline in mean monthly migraine days (MMDs) across the 12-week treatment period. The primary analysis was done in the modified intent-to-treat population and included all randomly assigned participants who received at least one dose of study intervention, had an evaluable baseline period of electronic diary (eDiary) data, and had at least one evaluable post-baseline 4-week period (weeks 1-4, 5-8, and 9-12) of eDiary data during the double-blind period. The safety population consisted of all participants who received at least one dose of study intervention. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03855137). FINDINGS: Between March 11, 2019 and Jan 20, 2022, 1489 participants were assessed for eligibility. 711 were excluded, and 778 participants were randomly assigned to atogepant 30 mg twice a day (n=257), atogepant 60 mg once a day (n=262), or placebo (n=259). Participants in the safety population were aged 18-74 years (mean 42·1 years). 459 (59%) of 773 patients were White, 677 (88%) patients were female, and 96 (12%) were male. 84 participants discontinued treatment during the trial, and 755 comprised the modified intent-to-treat population (atogepant 30 mg twice a day n=253, atogepant 60 mg once a day n=256, and placebo n=246). Baseline mean number of MMDs were 18·6 (SE 5·1) with atogepant 30 mg twice a day, 19·2 (5·3) with atogepant 60 mg once a day, and 18·9 (4·8) with placebo. Change from baseline in mean MMDs across 12 weeks was -7·5 (SE 0·4) with atogepant 30 mg twice a day, -6·9 (0·4) with atogepant 60 mg once a day, and -5·1 (0·4) with placebo. Least squares mean difference from placebo was -2·4 with atogepant 30 mg twice a day (95% CI -3·5 to -1·3; adjusted p<0·0001) and -1·8 with atogepant 60 mg once a day (-2·9 to -0·8; adjusted p=0·0009). Most common adverse events for atogepant were constipation (30 mg twice a day 28 [10·9%]; 60 mg once a day 26 [10%]; and placebo 8 [3%]) and nausea (30 mg twice a day 20 [8%]; 60 mg once a day 25 [10%]; and placebo 9 [4%]). Potentially clinically significant weight decrease (≥7% reduction at any time post-baseline) was observed in each treatment group (atogepant 30 mg twice a day 14 [6%]; atogepant 60 mg once a day 15 [6%]; and placebo 5 [2%]). INTERPRETATION: Atogepant 30 mg twice a day and 60 mg once a day showed clinically relevant reductions in MMDs across 12 weeks in chronic migraine patients. Both atogepant doses were well tolerated, consistent with the known safety profile of atogepant. FUNDING: Allergan (now AbbVie).

Atogepant, an oral calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist, and topiramate, a commonly used oral antiepileptic, are approved as preventive migraine treatments. Given the distinct mechanisms of action of these treatments, it is possible that they may be coprescribed for migraine. This open-label, single-center, 2-cohort, phase 1 trial evaluated the potential pharmacokinetic (PK) 2-way drug-drug interactions (DDIs), safety, and tolerability of atogepant and topiramate in healthy adults. Participants received atogepant 60 mg once daily and topiramate 100 mg twice daily. Cohort 1 (N = 28) evaluated the effect of topiramate on the PK of atogepant; cohort 2 (N = 25) evaluated the effect of atogepant on the PK of topiramate. Potential DDIs were assessed using geometric mean ratios and 90% confidence intervals calculated for maximum plasma drug concentration at steady state (Cmax,ss ) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve during the dosing interval at steady state (AUC0-tau,ss ). Additional PK parameters were assessed. Atogepant AUC0-tau,ss and Cmax,ss decreased by 25% and 24%, respectively, with topiramate coadministration. Topiramate AUC0-tau,ss and Cmax,ss decreased by 5% and 6%, respectively, with atogepant coadministration. The 25% reduction in atogepant exposure when coadministered with topiramate is not considered to be clinically relevant and would not require dose adjustments.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate potential drug-drug interactions of ubrogepant and atogepant. BACKGROUND: Ubrogepant and atogepant, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonists, are recently approved drugs for acute and preventive treatment of migraine, respectively. For patients with migraine who are prescribed atogepant for the preventive treatment of migraine, health care providers could prescribe ubrogepant for the acute treatment of breakthrough migraine attacks. METHODS: A phase Ib, multi-center, open-label, fixed-sequence study was conducted in participants diagnosed with migraine for at least 1 year. To assess the primary objective of pharmacokinetic interactions in this phase I trial, the highest United States Food and Drug Administration-approved individual dose strengths of atogepant (60 mg once daily) and ubrogepant (100 mg) were utilized, with ubrogepant being administered on a fixed-dose schedule every 3 days, regardless of whether a participant was experiencing a migraine attack. Secondary endpoints included safety and tolerability. Clinical safety measurements were monitored throughout the study. RESULTS: Of the 31 participants enrolled, 26 completed the study. A single dose of ubrogepant had no statistically significant effect on atogepant pharmacokinetics. Co-administration of ubrogepant with atogepant resulted in a 19% increase (geometric mean ratio 118.80, 90% confidence interval [CI] 108.69-129.84) in the ubrogepant area under the plasma concentration-time curve and a 26% increase (geometric mean ratio 125.63, 90% CI 105.58-149.48) in the ubrogepant maximum plasma concentration. These statistically significant changes in ubrogepant exposure were not clinically meaningful, and no new safety concerns were identified for the combination. CONCLUSION: The combination use of atogepant and ubrogepant was safe and well tolerated in adult participants with a history of migraine enrolled in the study. Pharmacokinetic changes during co-administration were not clinically meaningful.

Eluxadoline is approved for the treatment of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome in the United States. The impact of renal impairment on the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of eluxadoline is currently unknown. This phase 1, open-label, parallel-group study evaluated the PK and safety profile of eluxadoline in 8 participants with renal impairment and 8 matched healthy controls. Of the participants with renal impairment, 2 had severe renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] <30 mL/min/1.73 m2 ) and 6 had end-stage renal disease while not yet on dialysis (eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73 m2 ). The primary objective was to assess plasma and urine PKs, and plasma protein binding of eluxadoline. In participants with renal impairment, mean plasma concentrations of eluxadoline were consistently higher compared with matched healthy controls: 1.4-fold higher for mean maximum plasma concentration (Cmax ) and 2.2-fold higher for mean area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to time t. The median time to Cmax was 2.5 hours in both groups. Although eluxadoline is a locally acting drug with low oral bioavailability, because of the increased systemic exposure in participants with renal impairment as a cautionary measure the lower approved dose of 75 mg twice daily is recommended for individuals with severe renal impairment and end-stage renal disease while not yet on dialysis. Eluxadoline 100 mg single dose was well tolerated in participants with renal impairment and matched healthy controls.

INTRODUCTION: These post hoc analyses provide clinically relevant data concerning time to response for individual irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) symptoms after linaclotide use. METHODS: Time-to-response data were pooled from 4 randomized controlled trials. Response time for abdominal symptoms (pain, discomfort, and bloating) and complete spontaneous bowel movements (CSBMs) were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method; patients were categorized as early responders (≤4 weeks), late responders (>4-12 weeks), or nonresponders. RESULTS: Among 2,350 patients (1,172 placebo and 1,178 linaclotide 290 µg), >50% of patients with IBS-C who initiated linaclotide treatment experienced a decrease of ≥30% in abdominal pain, discomfort, or bloating within 3-4 weeks (median). The median time to achieving ≥3 CSBMs was 4 weeks. Although not all linaclotide-treated patients responded within 12 weeks, a late response occurred between 4 and 12 weeks in 1 in 6 patients for abdominal pain and in approximately 1 in 10 patients for CSBM frequency. Comparisons of early responders, late responders, and nonresponders for both response definitions indicated that women, Whites, and patients with less severe baseline abdominal symptoms were more likely to respond early. DISCUSSION: Although treatment responses with linaclotide occurred in >50% of patients with IBS-C within 4 weeks of treatment initiation, benefits for individual abdominal symptoms and/or CSBM frequency can still occur between 4 and 12 weeks. A lack of improvement in one symptom does not negate the possibility of response for others, highlighting the importance of discussing all symptoms with patients and not assuming treatment futility at 4 weeks.

BACKGROUND: MD-7246, a delayed-release formulation of linaclotide, is designed to target the ileocaecal junction and caecum with the aim of relieving abdominal pain independently of bowel function. AIMS: To evaluate the efficacy, safety and dose-response of MD-7246 in patients with irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhoea (IBS-D). METHODS: A randomised, double-blind, phase 2 clinical trial enrolled adult patients with IBS-D (Rome IV criteria). Patients were randomised to placebo or once-daily oral MD-7246 300, 600 or 1200 µg for 12 weeks. Abdominal and bowel symptoms were assessed daily. Key efficacy endpoints were change from baseline in abdominal pain and responder rates for a 30% reduction in abdominal pain in 6/12 weeks. Additional abdominal pain responder and exploratory bowel function endpoints were also assessed. RESULTS: Among the 388 randomised patients, there was no significant difference in mean change from baseline in abdominal pain between the MD-7246 300 µg, 600 µg and 1200 µg groups and placebo (-1.93, -1.58, -1.95 and - 2.01, respectively; p > 0.05 for each group vs placebo). The abdominal pain responder rates in the MD-7246 groups were similar to or lower than those in the placebo group. All doses of MD-7246 had a minimal effect on bowel function and were generally well tolerated. CONCLUSIONS: MD-7246 at the doses studied did not improve abdominal pain relative to placebo in an IBS-D patient population. Similarly, most additional efficacy endpoints showed no improvement with MD-7246 relative to placebo.

Eluxadoline is a mixed µ-opioid, κ-opioid receptor agonist, and δ-opioid receptor antagonist, approved in the United States for adults with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome. This phase 1, single-center, open-label, single-sequence study was conducted on 30 healthy participants to establish whether steady-state eluxadoline increases systemic exposure of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 substrate midazolam. Participants received oral midazolam 4 mg on day 1 with a 7-day washout period. On days 8-16, oral eluxadoline 100 mg was administered twice daily. On day 15, midazolam 4 mg was coadministered with the eluxadoline 100-mg morning dose. Primary outcome measures were pharmacokinetic parameters of midazolam and 1-hydroxy-midazolam. The midazolam and 1-hydroxy-midazolam geometric mean ratios and 90%CIs for maximum plasma drug concentration were 99.0% (91.6-107.0) and 113.8% (104.9-123.5), respectively, and area under the plasma concentration-time curves were 90.5% (83.9-97.6) and 105.1% (99.8-110.7), respectively, demonstrating the 2 treatments were bioequivalent, and there was no clinically significant drug interaction. All treatment-emergent adverse events were treatment related, mild in intensity, with no serious adverse events. These results suggest that eluxadoline has no clinically significant effect on CYP3A4 activity and is, therefore, unlikely to affect the pharmacokinetics of other CYP3A4 substrates.

Ubrogepant is an oral calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist approved for the treatment of acute migraine headaches. Ubrogepant demonstrated efficacy and safety in 2 pivotal phase 3 studies (N = 2240) that led to its approval. Here, we report the pharmacokinetics and safety results from a phase 1 study in which participants with severe (n = 4), moderate (n = 8), or mild (n = 8) hepatic impairment and matched participants with normal hepatic function (n = 8) were administered a single dose of 100 mg of ubrogepant. Twenty-eight participants aged 36 to 70 years were enrolled and completed the study. In participants with mild, moderate, or severe hepatic impairment, ubrogepant systemic exposure (area under the plasma concentration-time curve) increased by 7%, 52%, and 115%, respectively, compared with participants with normal hepatic function (≈1600 ng ⢠h/mL). Peak exposure increased by 1%, 18%, and 26%, respectively, in participants with mild, moderate, or severe hepatic impairment compared to those with normal hepatic function (≈400 ng/mL). Plasma protein binding did not change significantly across groups. No dose adjustment is recommended for patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment. Dose adjustment (50 mg) is recommended for patients with severe hepatic impairment. Single doses of ubrogepant 100 mg were safe, and all the enrolled participants, regardless of hepatic function, completed the study.

BACKGROUND: Eluxadoline, a peripherally acting, mixed µ- and κ-opioid receptor (OR) agonist and δ-OR antagonist, is approved for treatment of adults with irritable bowel syndrome-diarrhea (IBS-D). About a third of IBS-D patients has bile acid diarrhea (BAD); opioids may stimulate TGR5 (bile acid) receptors. AIM: To evaluate eluxadoline's efficacy on altered bowel functions and safety in IBS-D patients with or without BAD. METHODS: In a single-center, phase 4, parallel-group, open-label study, patients with IBS-D (cohort 1) and patients with BAD were treated with eluxadoline, 100 mg tablets BID, with food for 4 weeks. Patients recorded bowel functions by electronic daily diary. BAD was based on fasting serum 7αC4 (> 52.5 ng/mL) or concurrent criteria of increased total or primary fecal BAs excreted in 48 h. We assessed efficacy on treatment compared to baseline in the two cohorts. Primary outcome measures were changes from baseline in average stool consistency Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSFS) score (range 1-7) and safety. RESULTS: Mean changes from baseline in cohorts 1 and 2 (data presented in this order) were similar for: BSFS score averaged over 4 weeks' treatment (- 1.25 and - 1.09); daily bowel movement frequency (- 1.48 and - 0.79); daily urgent bowel movements (- 0.52 and - 0.80); IBS-QoL (5.9 and 13.6); serum 7αC4 (- 5.59 and - 8.78 ng/mL). There were no deaths, serious treatment-emergent adverse events, or discontinuations due to adverse events during the study. CONCLUSION: Eluxadoline is similarly efficacious in the treatment of IBS-D and BAD, and it appears to be safe and efficacious as documented in large clinical trials.

Aim: To evaluate pharmacokinetic interactions of atogepant with sumatriptan, an open-label, randomized, crossover study was conducted. Patients & methods: Thirty healthy adults received atogepant 60 mg, sumatriptan 100 mg, or coadministered drugs. Primary end point was geometric mean ratios (GMRs) and 90% CIs of interventions for area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to t (AUC0-t) or infinity (AUC0-∞) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax). Results: Atogepant GMRs for AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ versus with sumatriptan were within 90% CI 0.80-1.25, indicating no interaction; atogepant Cmax was reduced by 22% (GMR: 0.78; 90% CI: 0.69-0.89) with sumatriptan. Sumatriptan GMRs for AUC0-t, AUC0-∞ and Cmax versus with atogepant were within 90% CI 0.80-1.25. Conclusion: Atogepant with sumatriptan had no clinically relevant pharmacokinetic interactions.
We evaluated the possibility of interactions between atogepant, a new drug for the prevention of migraine, and sumatriptan, a commonly used drug to treat active migraines. A group of 30 healthy adults received atogepant alone, sumatriptan alone or the two drugs taken together, and we measured how the body absorbed, distributed and got rid of the two drugs when given together compared with each drug given alone. There was no indication of any clinically important interactions between atogepant and sumatriptan.

Ubrogepant is a calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist for the acute treatment of migraine. Esomeprazole magnesium increases intragastric pH, which may affect oral ubrogepant absorption. This open-label, nonrandomized, crossover trial evaluated esomeprazole magnesium's impact on the pharmacokinetics and safety of coadministered ubrogepant in healthy adults. Participants received ubrogepant 100 mg on day 1, esomeprazole magnesium 40 mg on days 9 to 13, and ubrogepant 100 mg with esomeprazole magnesium 40 mg on day 14. No effect on ubrogepant pharmacokinetics was concluded if 90% confidence intervals of geometric mean ratios were within 80% to 125% for comparison of pharmacokinetic parameters between ubrogepant + esomeprazole magnesium versus ubrogepant alone. Thirty participants enrolled (mean age, 31.7 years; 53.3% males). Ubrogepant peak plasma concentration (Cmax ) decreased 23%, time to Cmax increased by 1.5 hours, and area under the plasma concentration-time curve was reduced by ≈10% when coadministered with esomeprazole magnesium versus ubrogepant alone. The 90% confidence interval of the geometric mean ratio for Cmax did not fall within the 80% to 125% equivalence range, but the decrease was not considered clinically meaningful. Esomeprazole magnesium coadministered with ubrogepant did not increase the incidence rate of treatment-emergent adverse events, and interactions between the medications are likely to have limited clinical relevance.

N-methyl-D-aspartate ionotropic glutamatergic receptor (NMDAR) modulators, including rapastinel and ketamine, elicit rapid and sustained antidepressant responses in patients with treatment-resistant major depressive disorder. This phase I, randomized, multicenter, placebo-controlled, five-period, crossover, single-dose study evaluated simulated driving performance of healthy participants (N = 107) after single doses of rapastinel slow intravenous (i.v.) bolus 900 and 1800 mg, alprazolam oral 0.75 mg (positive control), ketamine i.v. infusion 0.5 mg/kg (clinical comparator), and placebo ~ 45 min before driving. The primary end point was SD of lateral position (SDLP) during the 60-min 100-km simulated driving scenario. Additional measures of driving performance, sleepiness, and cognition were also evaluated. To assess effects over time, mean SDLP was calculated for each 10-min interval of driving. Sensitivity of the assays was confirmed with alprazolam (all placebo comparisons p < 0.02). Rapastinel 900 and 1800 mg did not significantly affect simulated driving performance compared to placebo (both p > 0.5). Both rapastinel doses resulted in significantly less impaired driving compared to alprazolam or ketamine (all p < 0.002); ketamine significantly impaired driving compared to placebo (p = 0.0001). Results for the additional measures were similar to the primary end point. No new safety signals were observed for any study interventions. This first study of rapastinel effects on simulated driving found that rapastinel 900 and 1800 mg did not impair driving performance, but ketamine 0.5 mg/kg resulted in significantly impaired driving performance. Ketamine's effects on driving were maintained for at least 105 min, indicating that clinicians should be vigilant to prevent or postpone driving in patients after ketamine treatment.

OBJECTIVES: Guanylate cyclase-C (GC-C) agonists, which increase intestinal secretion and accelerate transit, are used to treat chronic constipation and constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome and are being evaluated for pediatric use. Prior studies suggest GC-C receptor density may be higher in young children, potentially amplifying GC-C agonism with treatment implications. We aimed to quantitate duodenal and colonic GC-C mRNA expression in children. METHODS: Mucosal biopsies were obtained from subjects aged 6âmonths to 18âyears during clinically indicated upper, that is, esophago-gastro-duodenal, and/or colonic endoscopy. Tissue samples without histologic abnormalities were grouped by subject age (<24âmonths, 24âmonths to <6âyears, 6 to <12âyears, and 12 to <18âyears) and analyzed for GC-C mRNA expression by qPCR. The relationship between GC-C mRNA levels and age was modeled using regression analyses. RESULTS: Ninety-nine subjects underwent upper endoscopy/colonoscopy; 93 had evaluable samples. Mean relative GC-C mRNA expression was 2.36 (range 2.21-2.46) for duodenal samples and 1.56 (range 1.22-1.91) for colonic samples. Predicted and observed normalized GC-C mRNA expression in each region were comparable among age groups. Pooled expression by region demonstrated lower expression in colonic versus duodenal samples. CONCLUSIONS: Uniform levels of GC-C mRNA expression were detected in children aged >6âmonths in the duodenum and >12âmonths in the colon. Higher expression was observed in all age groups in duodenal versus colonic samples, indicating regional variability in GC-C receptor density. These data are reassuring for further studies of GC-C agonists in children.
