RESUMO
Drug development teams must evaluate the risk/benefit profile of new drug candidates that perpetrate drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Real-world data (RWD) can inform this decision. The purpose of this study was to develop a predicted impact score for DDIs perpetrated by three hypothetical drug candidates via CYP3A, CYP2D6, or CYP2C9 in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obesity, or migraine. Optum Market Clarity was analyzed to estimate use of CYP3A, CYP2D6, or CYP2C9 substrates classified in the University of Washington Drug Interaction Database as moderate sensitive, sensitive, narrow therapeutic index, or QT prolongation. Scoring was based on prevalence of exposure to victim substrates and characteristics (age, polypharmacy, duration of exposure, and number of prescribers) of those exposed. The study population of 14,163,271 adults included 1,579,054 with T2DM, 3,117,753 with obesity, and 410,436 with migraine. For T2DM, 71.3% used CYP3A substrates, 44.3% used CYP2D6 substrates, and 44.3% used CYP2C9 substrates. For obesity, 57.1% used CYP3A substrates, 34.6% used CYP2D6 substrates, and 31.0% used CYP2C9 substrates. For migraine, 64.1% used CYP3A substrates, 44.0% used CYP2D6 substrates, and 28.9% used CYP2C9 substrates. In our analyses, the predicted DDI impact scores were highest for DDIs involving CYP3A, followed by CYP2D6, and CYP2C9 substrates, and highest for T2DM, followed by migraine, and obesity. Insights from RWD can be used to estimate a predicted DDI impact score for pharmacokinetic DDIs perpetrated by new drug candidates currently in development. This score can inform the risk/benefit profile of new drug candidates in a target patient population.

PURPOSE: The objectives of this analysis were to characterize the population pharmacokinetics (PK) of PF-06439535 (a bevacizumab biosimilar) and reference bevacizumab (Avastin®) sourced from the European Union (bevacizumab-EU) in patients with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and to quantify the difference in PK parameters between the two drug products via covariate analysis. METHODS: Pooled PF-06439535 and bevacizumab-EU serum concentration data from a comparative clinical efficacy and safety study (NCT02364999) in patients with NSCLC (N = 719) were analyzed using a non-linear mixed-effects modeling approach. Patients received PF-06439535 plus chemotherapy or bevacizumab-EU plus chemotherapy every 21 days for 4-6 cycles, followed by monotherapy with PF-06439535 or bevacizumab-EU. PF-06439535 or bevacizumab-EU was administered intravenously at a dose of 15 mg/kg. Effects of patient and disease covariates, as well as the drug product (PF-06439535 versus bevacizumab-EU), on PK were investigated. RESULTS: Overall, 8632 serum bevacizumab concentrations from 351 patients in the PF-06439535 group and 354 patients in the bevacizumab-EU group were included in the analysis. A two-compartment model adequately described the combined data. Clearance (CL) and central volume of distribution (V1) estimates were 0.0113 L/h and 2.99 L for a typical 71-kg female patient with NSCLC administered bevacizumab-EU. CL and V1 increased with body weight and were higher in males than females even after accounting for differences in body weight. The 95% confidence intervals for the effect of drug product on CL and V1 encompassed unity. CONCLUSIONS: The population PK of PF-06439535 and bevacizumab-EU were well characterized by a two-compartment model. Covariate analysis did not reveal any appreciable differences between PK parameters for PF-06439535 and bevacizumab-EU in patients with NSCLC.

OBJECTIVE: PF-04360365 is a humanized IgG(2)Δa anti-amyloid ß (Aß) antibody designed to improve outcome in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Single doses of 0.1 - 10 mg/kg were safe and well tolerated in Western (mostly Caucasian) subjects with mild-to-moderate AD. This Phase 1, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, dose-escalation study was the first to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity of PF-04360365 in Japanese subjects. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 30 subjects with mild-to-moderate AD were enrolled. In each cohort, 3 subjects received PF-04360365 (0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, or 10 mg/kg) and 1 subject received placebo as a single 2-hour intravenous infusion. Subjects were monitored as inpatients for 24 hours and then as outpatients for 1 year. RESULTS: All subjects completed the study. There were no serious or National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade ≥ 3 adverse events, hypersensitivity reactions, or antidrug antibodies. No clinical or MRI evidence of brain microhemorrhage, cerebral edema, or encephalitis was observed. PF-04360365 plasma concentrations increased with dose, and pharmacokinetics were consistent with a small steady-state volume of distribution, slow clearance, and long elimination half-life. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF):plasma ratios were < 0.5%. Plasma Aß species showed dose-dependent increases in C(max) and AUC(∞), but CSF biomarkers did not differ clearly between treatment arms. CONCLUSIONS: PF-04360365 was safe and well tolerated in Japanese subjects. Pharmacokinetics and plasma pharmacodynamic responses in Japanese subjects were comparable to those in Western subjects. *No longer affiliated with Pfizer.

Increasing use of therapeutic proteins (TPs) in polypharmacy settings calls for more in-depth understanding of the biological interactions that can lead to increased toxicity or loss of pharmacological effect. Factors such as patient population, medications that are likely to be coadministered in that population, clearance mechanisms of a TP, and concomitant drugs have to be taken into account to determine the potential for drug-drug interactions (DDIs). The most well documented TP DDI mechanism involves cytokine-mediated changes in drug-metabolizing enzymes. Because of the limitations of the current preclinical models for addressing this type of DDI, clinical evaluation is currently the most reliable approach. Other DDI mechanisms need to be addressed on a case-by-case basis. These include altered clearance of TPs resulting from the changes in the target protein levels by the concomitant medication, displacement of TPs from binding proteins, modulation of Fcγ receptor expression, and others. The purpose of this review is to introduce the approach used by Pfizer scientists for evaluation of the DDI potential of novel TP products during drug discovery and development.

AIMS: To develop a population-based model to describe and predict the pharmacokinetics of carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb) in adult smokers. METHODS: Data from smokers of different conventional cigarettes (CC) in three open-label, randomized studies were analysed using NONMEM (version V, Level 1.1). COHb concentrations were determined at baseline for two cigarettes [Federal Trade Commission (FTC) tar 11 mg; CC1, or FTC tar 6 mg; CC2]. On day 1, subjects were randomized to continue smoking their original cigarettes, switch to a different cigarette (FTC tar 1 mg; CC3), or stop smoking. COHb concentrations were measured at baseline and on days 3 and 8 after randomization. Each cigarette was treated as a unit dose assuming a linear relationship between the number of cigarettes smoked and measured COHb percent saturation. Model building used standard methods. Model performance was evaluated using nonparametric bootstrapping and predictive checks. RESULTS: The data were described by a two-compartment model with zero-order input and first-order elimination with endogenous COHb. Model parameters included elimination rate constant (k(10)), central volume of distribution (Vc/F), rate constants between central and peripheral compartments (k(12) and k(21)), baseline COHb concentrations (c0), and relative fraction of carbon monoxide absorbed (F1). The median (range) COHb half-lives were 1.6 h (0.680-2.76) and 30.9 h (7.13-367) (alpha and beta phases, respectively). F1 increased with increasing cigarette tar content and age, whereas k(12) increased with ideal body weight. CONCLUSION: A robust model was developed to predict COHb concentrations in adult smokers and to determine optimum COHb sampling times in future studies.
