RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Immunotherapy targeting pathological α-synuclein (α-syn) species is a promising strategy for slowing disease progression in neurodegenerative synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease (PD). OBJECTIVE: The aim was to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and target engagement of ascending doses of Lu AF82422. METHODS: In this first-in-human study (NCT03611569), healthy participants (18-55 years, cohort A) and patients with PD (40-80 years, Hoehn and Yahr stage ≤3, cohort B) were enrolled in ascending-dose cohorts and randomly assigned to receive single intravenous infusions of Lu AF82422 (cohorts A1-A6: 75, 225, 750, 2250 4500, and 9000 mg, respectively; cohorts B1 and B2: 2250 and 9000 mg, respectively) or placebo. Participants were monitored during a 12-week observational period. RESULTS: Overall, single intravenous infusions of Lu AF82422 were safe and well tolerated, and no serious adverse events (AE) were observed; the most common AEs were related to the study on lumbar punctures, headache, and common infections. Lu AF82422 concentrations (in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid [CSF]) increased in a dose-proportional manner with no observable differences between cohorts; mean plasma half-life was 700 h. Plasma concentrations of Lu AF82422 had an immediate, concentration-dependent lowering effect on the plasma concentration of free α-syn and on the ratio of free to total α-syn in all cohorts and lowered the free-to-total α-syn ratio in CSF in the high-dose PD cohort. CONCLUSIONS: The safety and pharmacokinetic profile of Lu AF82422 were appropriate for further clinical development, and results indicated peripheral target engagement. The central target engagement observed in participants with PD indicates that the doses of Lu AF82422 tested may provide CSF concentrations sufficient to target aggregated forms of α-syn. © 2024 H.

RESUMEN

Background: Two open-label, randomized, parallel-arm studies compared pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of aripiprazole once-monthly 400 mg following deltoid vs gluteal injection in patients with schizophrenia. Methods: In the single-dose study, 1 injection of aripiprazole once-monthly 400 mg in the deltoid (n=17) or gluteal (n=18) muscle (NCT01646827) was administered. In the multiple-dose study, the first aripiprazole once-monthly 400 mg injection was administered in either the deltoid (n=71) or gluteal (n=67) muscle followed by 4 once-monthly deltoid injections (NCT01909466). Results: After single-dose administration, aripiprazole exposure (area under the concentration-time curve) was similar between deltoid and gluteal administrations, whereas median time to maximum plasma concentration was shorter (7.1 [deltoid] vs 24.1 days [gluteal]) and maximum concentration was 31% higher after deltoid administration. In the multiple-dose study, median time to maximum plasma concentration for deltoid administration was shorter (3.95 vs 7.1 days), whereas aripiprazole mean trough concentrations, maximum concentration, and area under the concentration-time curve were comparable between deltoid and gluteal muscles (historical data comparison). Multiple-dose pharmacokinetic results for the major metabolite, dehydro-aripiprazole, followed a similar pattern to that of the parent drug for both deltoid and gluteal injection sites. Safety and tolerability profiles were similar after gluteal or deltoid injections. Based on observed data, minimum aripiprazole concentrations achieved by aripiprazole once-monthly 400 mg are comparable with those of oral aripiprazole 15 to 20 mg/d. Conclusions: The deltoid muscle is a safe alternative injection site for aripiprazole once-monthly 400 mg in patients with schizophrenia.

RESUMEN

AIMS: The aims of this study were to develop a population pharmacokinetic (PK) model to describe the PK of nalmefene in healthy subjects and to relate the exposure of nalmefene to the µ-opioid receptor occupancy by simulations in the target population. METHODS: Data from nine phase I studies (243 subjects) with extensive blood sampling were pooled and used for the population PK model building. Data from four other phase I studies (85 subjects) were pooled and used as an external validation dataset. Eight subjects from an imaging study contributed occupancy data and the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationship was modelled. Combining the population PK model and the PK/PD relationship enabled simulations to predict µ-opioid occupancy. RESULTS: A two compartment model with first order absorption best described the nalmefene PK data. The typical subject in the population was estimated to have a systemic clearance of 60.4 l h(-1) and a central volume of distribution of 266 l. Absolute oral bioavailability was estimated to 41% without food intake and with food about 53%. Simulation of the µ-opioid receptor occupancy shows that the 95% confidence bound is within or above 60-90% occupancy for up to 22-24 h after a single dose of 20 mg nalmefene. CONCLUSIONS: A robust population PK model for nalmefene was developed. Based on the concentration-occupancy model the µ-opioid receptor occupancy after a single 20 mg dose of nalmefene is predicted to be above the target therapeutic occupancy for about 24 h in about 95% of the target population.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: There is growing interest in having objective assessment of health-related outcomes using technology-based devices that provide unbiased measurements which can be used in clinical practice and scientific research. Many studies have investigated the clinical manifestations of Parkinson's disease using such devices. However, clinimetric properties and clinical validation vary among the different devices. METHODS: Given such heterogeneity, we sought to perform a systematic review in order to (i) list, (ii) compare and (iii) classify technological-based devices used to measure motor function in individuals with Parkinson's disease into three groups, namely wearable, non-wearable and hybrid devices. A systematic literature search of the PubMed database resulted in the inclusion of 168 studies. These studies were grouped based on the type of device used. For each device we reviewed availability, use, reliability, validity, and sensitivity to change. The devices were then classified as (i) 'recommended', (ii) 'suggested' or (iii) 'listed' based on the following criteria: (1) used in the assessment of Parkinson's disease (yes/no), (2) used in published studies by people other than the developers (yes/no), and (3) successful clinimetric testing (yes/no). RESULTS: Seventy-three devices were identified, 22 were wearable, 38 were non-wearable, and 13 were hybrid devices. In accordance with our classification method, 9 devices were 'recommended', 34 devices were 'suggested', and 30 devices were classified as 'listed'. Within the wearable devices group, the Mobility Lab sensors from Ambulatory Parkinson's Disease Monitoring (APDM), Physilog®, StepWatch 3, TriTrac RT3 Triaxial accelerometer, McRoberts DynaPort, and Axivity (AX3) were classified as 'recommended'. Within the non-wearable devices group, the Nintendo Wii Balance Board and GAITRite® gait analysis system were classified as 'recommended'. Within the hybrid devices group only the Kinesia® system was classified as 'recommended'.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Currently, assessment of symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease is mainly performed in the clinic. However, these assessments have limitations because they provide only a snapshot of the condition. METHODS: The feasibility and usability of an objective, continuous and relatively unobtrusive system (SENSE-PARK System), which consists of wearable sensors (three worn during the day and one worn at night), a smartphone-based App, a balance board and computer software, was tested 24/7 over 12 weeks in a study including 22 PD patients. During the first four weeks of the study, patients did not get feedback about their performance, during the last eight weeks they did. The study included seven clinical visits with standardized interviews, and regular phone contact. The primary outcome was the number of drop-outs during the study. As secondary outcomes, the Post-Study System Usability Questionnaire (PSSUQ), score and information obtained from the standardized interviews were used to evaluate the usability of the system. RESULTS: All patients completed the study. The participants rated the usability of the SENSE-PARK System with a mean score of 2.67 (±0.49) on the PSSUQ. The interviews revealed that most participants liked using the system and appreciated that it signaled changes in their health condition. CONCLUSIONS: This 12 week controlled study demonstrates that the acceptance level of PD patients using the SENSE-PARK System as a home-based 24/7 assessment is very good. Particular emphasis should be given to a user-friendly design. Motivation to wear such a system can be increased by providing direct feedback about the individual health condition.

RESUMEN

A ready-to-use (RTU) long-acting injectable (LAI) formulation of aripiprazole monohydrate for administration once every 2 months, available in 960 mg (Ari 2MRTU 960) or 720 mg doses, has been developed for the treatment of schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder. A previously developed and validated population pharmacokinetic model for characterizing aripiprazole plasma concentrations following administration of oral aripiprazole or aripiprazole once-monthly (AOM) intramuscular injection was expanded to include the RTU LAI formulation of aripiprazole (Ari RTU LAI). Overall, 8899 aripiprazole pharmacokinetic samples from 1191 adults from 10 clinical trials were included in the final combined analysis data set. Aripiprazole plasma concentration-time profiles were simulated for various Ari RTU LAI initiation and maintenance scenarios in 1000 virtual patients. Diagnostic plots demonstrated that the final population pharmacokinetic model, which incorporated data for oral aripiprazole, AOM, and Ari RTU LAI, adequately described aripiprazole concentrations following Ari RTU LAI administration. Absorption of Ari RTU LAI was modeled by a parallel zero-order and lagged first-order process. Simulations across multiple scenarios were performed to inform dosing recommendations, including various treatment initiation regimens for a 2-monthly formulation of Ari RTU LAI in patients with or without prior stabilization on oral aripiprazole, and for patients switching from AOM. Additional simulations accounted for missed/delayed doses, cytochrome (CYP) 2D6 metabolizer status, and concomitant use of CYP2D6 or CYP3A4 inhibitors. Overall, simulations across a variety of scenarios demonstrated an Ari RTU LAI pharmacokinetic exposure profile that was comparable to AOM, with a longer dosing interval.

RESUMEN

Due to the customary delay between medication approvals in adult and adolescent populations, adolescents with schizophrenia may receive off-label antipsychotic treatment, without empirically justified dosing recommendations. In order to accelerate pediatric drug development, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a general advice letter to sponsors permitting the effectiveness of atypical antipsychotics for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults to be extrapolated to adolescents based on a pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis to support dose selection, plus a safety study. The aim of the present article is to describe the population PK analysis that was submitted to the FDA to inform brexpiprazole dose selection in adolescents with schizophrenia. Using a population PK model with brexpiprazole clearance and volume of distribution allometrically scaled by body weight, PK simulations showed comparable brexpiprazole dose-exposure between adults and adolescents aged 13-17 years following oral daily doses of brexpiprazole 1-4 mg, indicating that the target brexpiprazole dose of 2-4 mg/day in adults with schizophrenia is also suitable for adolescents. Based on this population PK analysis, together with a safety study in adolescents, the FDA approved brexpiprazole for the treatment of schizophrenia in adolescents aged 13-17 years, via extrapolation of the efficacy of brexpiprazole from adults to adolescents.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Aripiprazole 2-month ready-to-use 960 mg (Ari 2MRTU 960) is a new long-acting injectable antipsychotic formulation for administration every 2 months. A 32-week trial evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of Ari 2MRTU 960 in clinically stable adults with schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder (BP-I) (per DSM-5 criteria). This secondary analysis evaluated the safety and efficacy of Ari 2MRTU 960 in the subpopulation of patients with BP-I. METHODS: Patients with BP-I were randomized to receive Ari 2MRTU 960 (n = 40) every 56 ± 2 days (4 injections scheduled) or aripiprazole once-monthly 400 mg (AOM 400; n = 41) every 28 ± 2 days (8 injections scheduled). Data were collected during August 2019-July 2020 across 16 US sites. Primary safety endpoints included reported adverse events (coded by the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities preferred term), injection site reactions (assessments included a Visual Analog Scale [VAS] to evaluate patient-reported injection-site pain), and motoric symptoms. Secondary endpoints for efficacy included change from baseline at Week 32 in the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), Clinical Global Impression - Bipolar Version (CGI-BP), and Subjective Well-being under Neuroleptic Treatment - Short Form (SWN-S) scores, and Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I) at Week 32. RESULTS: The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) was similar between Ari 2MRTU 960 (82.5% [33/40]) and AOM 400 (87.8% [36/41]; p = .5468). The most frequently reported TEAE was increased weight (Ari 2MRTU 960: 25.0% [10/40]; AOM 400: 26.8% [11/41]; p = 1). Injection-site pain was experienced by more patients in the Ari 2MRTU 960 group (25% [10/40]) versus the AOM 400 group (7.3% [3/41]; p = .0622). Mean (standard deviation [SD]) VAS scores for patient-reported injection-site pain following the last injection were 1.2 (2.07) for Ari 2MRTU 960 group and 1.3 (2.19) for AOM 400 (p = .9479) (VAS scale range 0-100 [no pain-extreme pain]). No notable improvement or decline from baseline was observed in motoric symptoms in either treatment group. Patients in both treatment groups remained clinically stable for the entire 32-week trial duration, with minimal difference between treatment groups in the least squares (LS) mean change from baseline at Week 32 in the YMRS Total (p = .8995), MADRS Total (p = .3185), and CGI-BP scores (p = .8485), and in mean CGI-I score (p = .7960). LS mean change from baseline in SWN-S score was greater for Ari 2MRTU 960 than for AOM 400 at Week 32 (p = .0169). CONCLUSIONS: Ari 2MRTU 960 was well tolerated in patients with BP-I, with efficacy similar to AOM 400. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04030143.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Most evidence suggests that the pharmacokinetics of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are not meaningfully altered by patient characteristics, including racial/ethnic differences. Nevertheless, the pharmacokinetic profile of eptinezumab has not been evaluated in a Chinese population. This study was designed to confirm the hypothesis that the pharmacokinetic profile of the anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide mAb, eptinezumab, is similar in healthy Chinese individuals to that of healthy non-Asian individuals and non-Asian patients with migraine. METHODS: Over a study period of 12 weeks, healthy adult Chinese participants (N = 20) were randomized (1:1) to receive a single intravenous dose of eptinezumab 100 mg (n = 10) or 300 mg (n = 10) in a prospective, single-site, open-label parallel-group trial. Blood samples for the evaluation of plasma eptinezumab concentrations were obtained over 84 days, and standard pharmacokinetic parameters were derived. RESULTS: Mean maximum plasma concentrations (Cmax) of eptinezumab occurred 1.0-1.5 h post start of infusion, were similar between the 100 mg and 300 mg dose groups, and slowly declined in a biphasic manner. Cmax and area under the drug concentration-time curve (AUC) increased in a dose-proportional manner. Volume of distribution and clearance were similar between the 100 mg and 300 mg dose groups, and half-life was 22.5-28.1 days. Eptinezumab was generally well tolerated with no new safety signals identified. Only one participant, randomized to the 100 mg dose group, was positive for eptinezumab anti-drug antibodies, but negative for neutralizing antibodies, with no impact on pharmacokinetics. CONCLUSION: The pharmacokinetic profile of eptinezumab in healthy Chinese individuals was generally similar to that reported for non-Asian populations with migraine, and eptinezumab was generally well tolerated. Evaluation of immunogenicity showed no evidence of an impact of anti-drug antibodies or neutralizing antibodies on safety profiles. This supports the globally approved doses of 100 mg and 300 mg as being appropriate for Chinese patients with episodic migraine or chronic migraine.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Aripiprazole 2-month ready-to-use 960 mg (Ari 2MRTU 960) is a new long-acting injectable antipsychotic formulation for gluteal administration every 2 months, currently being investigated for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder (BP-I). The objectives of this trial were to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Ari 2MRTU 960, and the similarity of aripiprazole plasma concentrations following administration of Ari 2MRTU 960 or aripiprazole once-monthly 400 mg (AOM 400), in adults with schizophrenia or BP-I. METHODS: This was a 32-week open-label study. Eligible participants were randomized 1:1 to receive Ari 2MRTU 960 every 56 ± 2 days (four injections scheduled) or AOM 400 every 28 ± 2 days (eight injections scheduled). Participants received overlapping oral antipsychotic treatment with the first administration of study drug (there was no oral overlap for participants stabilized on AOM 400). Safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) were evaluated throughout the study. Primary safety endpoints included reported adverse events, injection site reactions, and extrapyramidal symptoms. Primary PK endpoints were plasma concentration of aripiprazole 56 days after the fourth dose of Ari 2MRTU 960 and 28 days after the eighth dose of AOM 400, and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) from Day 0 to 56 postdose after the fourth dose of Ari 2MRTU 960, or AUC from Day 0 to 28 after the seventh and eighth doses of AOM 400. RESULTS: Of the 266 participants enrolled (schizophrenia, n = 185; BP-I, n = 81), 132 were randomized to receive Ari 2MRTU 960 and 134 were randomized to receive AOM 400. The majority (66.2%) of participants were male; 72.9% were Black or African American, and mean age was 47.3 years; demographic characteristics and baseline disease characteristics were generally well balanced between groups. Study completion rate was 77.3% in the Ari 2MRTU 960 group and 68.7% in the AOM 400 group. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) was similar between Ari 2MRTU 960 (71.2%) and AOM 400 (70.9%). The most frequently reported TEAEs were increased weight (Ari 2MRTU 960: 22.7%; AOM 400: 20.9%) and injection-site pain (Ari 2MRTU 960: 18.2%; AOM 400: 9.0%). The geometric means ratio (GMR) of aripiprazole plasma concentrations on the last day following the final dosing for Ari 2MRTU 960 versus AOM 400 was 1.011 (90% confidence interval [CI] 0.893-1.145), and the GMR of aripiprazole plasma exposure (area under the concentration-time curve) over the fourth Ari 2MRTU 960 dosing interval versus the seventh and eighth AOM 400 dosing intervals was 1.006 (90% CI 0.851-1.190). CONCLUSIONS: Ari 2MRTU 960 was generally well tolerated in adults with schizophrenia or BP-I, with a safety profile comparable with that of AOM 400, and aripiprazole exposure equivalent to that with AOM 400 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04030143, registered on 23 July 2019).


Aripiprazole is a medication used to treat psychotic symptoms in schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder (BP-I) that can be taken orally or injected into the muscle. Aripiprazole once-monthly 400 mg (AOM 400) is a long-acting injectable formulation administered every 28 days, used in the treatment of schizophrenia or BP-I. A new 2-month ready-to-use formulation containing 960 mg of aripiprazole (Ari 2MRTU 960) is currently being investigated for the treatment of schizophrenia or BP-I. This 32-week study compared Ari 2MRTU 960 with AOM 400 in adults with schizophrenia or BP-I stabilized on their current medication. Study participants were randomly assigned to receive either Ari 2MRTU 960 every 56 ± 2 days (four injections scheduled in total) or AOM 400 every 28 ± 2 days (eight injections scheduled in total). Safety, tolerability, and concentration of aripiprazole in the blood were evaluated throughout the study. The incidence of adverse events emerging during the treatment period was similar between Ari 2MRTU 960 and AOM 400 (71.2% and 70.9%, respectively), with the most frequently reported events being increased weight (Ari 2MRTU 960: 22.7%; AOM 400: 20.9%) and injection-site pain (Ari 2MRTU 960: 18.2%; AOM 400: 9.0%). At the end of the study, aripiprazole concentrations were similar between treatment groups, based on the reported pharmacokinetic parameters. Participants remained clinically stable throughout the study. Ari 2MRTU 960 was generally well tolerated in adults with schizophrenia or BP-I.

RESUMEN

Aripiprazole 2-month ready-to-use 960 mg (Ari 2MRTU 960) is a novel long-acting injectable (LAI) formulation of aripiprazole monohydrate for administration once every 2 months, developed for the treatment of schizophrenia or maintenance monotherapy treatment of bipolar I disorder in adults (indication will vary by country). Aripiprazole lauroxil 1064 mg (AL 1064) is an LAI formulation of aripiprazole lauroxil, an aripiprazole prodrug, for administration once every 2 months, indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults. This analysis provides an indirect comparison of aripiprazole plasma concentrations following multiple doses of either formulation. Clinical trial data were used to determine average steady-state aripiprazole plasma concentration (Cavg,ss), maximum aripiprazole plasma concentration (Cmax), and other pharmacokinetic parameters of either formulation following four administrations (96 patients received Ari 2MRTU 960; 28 patients received AL 1064). All pharmacokinetic parameters were considered in the context of a minimum aripiprazole therapeutic concentration (Cmin) of ≥95 ng/mL. An exposure-response analysis using data from two Phase III trials of aripiprazole once-monthly (an aripiprazole monohydrate LAI, administered monthly), showed that patients with a Cmin ≥95 ng/mL are 4.41 times less likely to relapse than patients with a Cmin <95 ng/mL. A similar analysis has not been performed for AL 1064. However, consensus guidelines for therapeutic drug monitoring recommend a range of 100-350 ng/mL for aripiprazole. Following four administrations, mean (standard deviation [SD]) Cavg,ss over the 2-month dosing interval was 263 (133) ng/mL for Ari 2MRTU 960 and 140.7 (57.3) ng/mL for AL 1064. Mean (SD) Cmax during the fourth dosing interval was 342 (157) ng/mL for Ari 2MRTU 960 and 188.8 (79.8) ng/mL for AL 1064. This indirect comparison showed that, following four administrations, Ari 2MRTU 960 and AL 1064 delivered mean aripiprazole plasma concentrations that remained above the minimum therapeutic concentration of aripiprazole over the 2-month dosing interval.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: In the area of parenteral depots, a strong need exists for the development of suitable in vitro drug release models that might enable establishment of in vitro-in vivo relations (IVIVRs). AIM: The objective of this study was to investigate the possibility of establishing an IVIVR between morphine disappearance from the joint cavity and in vitro release data obtained employing the rotating dialysis cell model. METHOD: In vitro release experiments were conducted using the rotating dialysis cell model. For establishment of an IVIVR, data from a previous study on pharmacokinetics of intra-articular (IA) morphine in horses with lipopolysaccharide-induced synovitis were used (Lindegaard et al., (2009). Vet Anaesth Analg, 37, 186-195). RESULTS: A rate constant of morphine disappearance from the donor phase of the in vitro model of 1.8 × 10(-2) min(-1) was calculated, independently of the different release media used. The in vivo synovial fluid disappearance rate constants were in the range of 1.0 × 10(-2)-1.7 × 10(-2) min(-1). An IVIVR (R(2) = 0.89) was established between the calculated disappearance data and the joint disappearance data. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that the IA fate of morphine administered in the form of a solution can be predicted from the in vitro release data obtained in the rotating dialysis cell model. Thus, this model might be a valuable tool in the establishment of IVIVRs after IA administration of drugs with similar properties.

RESUMEN

Alpha-synuclein is a 15 kDa protein associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson disease and multiple-system atrophy where pathological forms of alpha-synuclein aggregate and become neurotoxic. Here we describe the nonclinical program to support a first-in-human (FIH) single ascending dose (SAD) study for Lu AF82422, a human recombinant, anti-alpha-synuclein monoclonal antibody (mAb) in development for treatment of synucleinopathies. Alpha-synuclein is primarily expressed in brain, peripheral nerves and in blood cells. A tissue cross-reactivity assessment showed that Lu AF82422 binding was generally restricted to nervous tissues. Flow cytometry analysis did not show extracellular surface binding of Lu AF82422 to human platelets, erythrocytes, granulocytes, or lymphocytes, but to a low fraction of monocytes, without any functional consequences on activation or phagocytic capacity. A single dose pharmacokinetic (PK) study in cynomolgus monkeys with dose levels of 1-30 mg/kg confirmed PK properties in the expected range for a mAb with a soluble target, and target engagement was shown as a decrease in free alpha-synuclein in plasma. Four-week repeat-dose toxicity studies were conducted in rats and cynomolgus monkeys at doses up to 600 mg/kg administered intravenously every 10 days. Results showed no treatment-related adverse findings and the no-observed-adverse-effect-level was the highest dose tested. Target engagement was shown in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. Taken together, the nonclinical data indicated no safety signal of concern and provided adequate safety margins between observed safe doses in animals and the planned dose levels in the FIH SAD study.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The single-injection start regimen for aripiprazole once-monthly 400 mg (AOM 400) in patients with schizophrenia requires a single intramuscular injection in the gluteal or deltoid site and 14 days of concurrent oral therapy. A simplified, single-day regimen of two injections at separate gluteal and/or deltoid injection sites, together with a single 20-mg dose of oral aripiprazole on the 1st day, was assessed. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A previously developed population-pharmacokinetic (popPK) model for characterizing aripiprazole PK following oral administration and gluteal intramuscular depot injection was expanded to include deltoid injection. Simulations were conducted to assess PK profiles following various (including two-injection) start regimens. Postmarketing data on patients who received higher-than-recommended AOM doses were used to assess overall safety/tolerability. RESULTS: The two-injection start regimen with a single concurrent oral dose displayed a comparable PK profile to the single-injection start regimen with concurrent 14-day oral administration in simulations. The safety assessment indicated the two-injection start regimen was unlikely to be associated with safety concerns beyond those expected with a single-injection start regimen. CONCLUSION: These data support use of the two-injection start regimen in clinical practice to reduce reliance on daily oral administration and optimize the therapeutic benefits of AOM 400 in patients with schizophrenia.

RESUMEN

We identify here for the first time the low-affinity cytochrome P450 (P450) isoforms that metabolize paroxetine, using cDNA-expressed human P450s measuring substrate depletion and paroxetine-catechol (product) formation by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. CYP1A2, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, and CYP3A5 were identified as paroxetine-catechol-forming P450 isoforms, and CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 were identified as metabolizing P450 isoforms by substrate depletion. Michaelis-Menten constants K(m) and V(max) were determined by product formation and substrate depletion. Using selective inhibitory studies and a relative activity factor approach for pooled and single-donor human liver microsomes, we confirmed involvement of the identified P450 isoforms for paroxetine-catechol formation at 1 and 20 muM paroxetine. In addition, we used the population-based simulator Simcyp to estimate the importance of the identified paroxetine-metabolizing P450 isoforms for human metabolism, taking mechanism-based inhibition into account. The amount of active hepatic CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 (not inactivated by mechanism-based inhibition) was also estimated by Simcyp. For extensive and poor metabolizers of CYP2D6, Simcyp-estimated pharmacokinetic profiles were in good agreement with those reported in published in vivo studies. Considering the kinetic parameters, inhibition results, relative activity factor calculations, and Simcyp simulations, CYP2D6 (high affinity) and CYP3A4 (low affinity) are most likely to be the major contributors to paroxetine metabolism in humans. For some individuals CYP1A2 could be of importance for paroxetine metabolism, whereas the importance of CYP2C19 and CYP3A5 is probably limited.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To establish a pharmacokinetic model for the model drug, sodium diatrizoate (DTZ), allowing joint disappearance kinetics to be estimated from serum appearance kinetics following intra-articular administration, and to calculate the relative joint exposure after intravenous and intra-articular DTZ administration (F(iv/IA)). METHODS: Each of five horses received an aqueous solution of 3.9 mg/kg sodium diatrizoate both intravenously and intra-articularly separated by a one-week wash out period. Serum and synovial samples were collected over 7 h and analyzed for content of model compound using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. RESULTS: Differential equations were used for describing the transport of DTZ between the joint and the central compartment. The three-compartment lag-time model obtained demonstrates that the rate of drug appearance in the systemic circulation equals the rate of disappearance from the joint compartment. Following intravenous and intra-articular administration, an average F(iv/IA) of 0.04% (n = 4) was calculated based on the synovial fluid profiles of DTZ. CONCLUSIONS: This study implies that aspects of the intra-articular fate of DTZ can be obtained from serum data in case synovial fluid samplings are limited, for various possible reasons. The low F(iv/IA) may stimulate future research in the field of intra-articular administration of anti-osteoarthritic drugs.

RESUMEN

Healthcare delivery in the northern periphery of Europe is challenged by dispersed populations, geographical complexities (including mountainous terrain and inhabited islands), ageing populations, and rising patient expectations. It is challenged further by variations in transport networks and information communication technology infrastructure. This article provides an overview of e-health development across the northern periphery areas of four northern European countries (Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Scotland) by summarizing the outcomes of a mixed methods e-health mapping exercise and subsequently identifying service needs and gaps. A total of 148 applications, with a range of applied e-health solutions, were identified and the findings have promoted the sharing and transfer of e-health innovation across the four countries. The supporting telecommunications infrastructure and development of innovative telemedicine appear slower in sparsely populated areas of Scotland in comparison to its northern peripheral counterparts. All four countries have, however, demonstrated a clear commitment to the development of e-health within their remote and rural regions.
