RESUMEN
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) may experience nonresponse to biologics, possibly as a result of low drug exposure. This trial assessed the efficacy of dose optimization in patients with UC who have early nonresponse to vedolizumab and high drug clearance. METHODS: ENTERPRET was a phase 4, open-label, randomized, controlled trial that included patients with moderate to severe UC who had high drug clearance at week 5 (serum concentration, <50 µg/mL) and nonresponse to standard vedolizumab treatment at week 6. At week 6, eligible patients were randomized 1:1 to receive standard dosing (300 mg every 8 weeks) or dose-optimized vedolizumab (600 mg at week 6, then 300 mg every 4 weeks; or 600 mg at week 6, then 600 mg every 4 weeks [based on week 5 serum concentration]). The primary end point was endoscopic improvement at week 30. RESULTS: Of 278 enrolled patients, 132 (47.5%) had a clinical response at week 6. From week 6, 108 patients received standard (n = 53) or dose-optimized vedolizumab (n = 55); among patients with nonresponse at week 6, 86.5% had high drug clearance. At week 30, 10 patients (18.9%) who received standard vedolizumab had endoscopic improvement vs 8 patients (14.5%) who received dose-optimized vedolizumab. Five patients (9.4%) who received standard vedolizumab had clinical remission at week 30 vs 5 patients (9.1%) who received dose-optimized vedolizumab; clinical response was observed in 17 (32.1%) and 17 patients (30.9%), respectively. Safety event rates were similar among treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with early nonresponse and high drug clearance, vedolizumab dose optimization is probably not required. A proportion of patients benefited from continued treatment irrespective of the dose received. CLINICALTRIALS: gov: NCT03029143.
RESUMEN
AIMS: Veliparib is a potent inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzyme. The objectives of the analysis were to evaluate the effect of baseline covariates and co-administration of topotecan plus carboplatin (T + C) on pharmacokinetics of veliparib in patients with refractory acute leukaemia, and compare veliparib concentration in various biological matrices. METHODS: A population pharmacokinetic model was developed and effect of age, body size indices, sex, creatinine clearance (CrCL) and co-administration of T + C on the pharmacokinetics of veliparib were evaluated. The final model was qualified using bootstrap and quantitative predictive check. Linear regression was conducted to correlate concentrations of veliparib in various biological matrices. RESULTS: A two compartment model with first-order absorption with Tlag described veliparib pharmacokinetics. The apparent clearance (CL/F) and volume (Vc /F) were 16.5 l h-1 and 122.7 l, respectively. The concomitant administration of T + C was not found to affect veliparib CL/F. CrCL and lean body mass (LBM) were significant covariates on CL/F and Vc/F, respectively. While a strong positive relationship was observed between veliparib concentrations in plasma and bone marrow supernatant, no correlation was observed between plasma and peripheral blood or bone marrow blasts. CONCLUSIONS: Consistent with veliparib's physiochemical properties and its elimination mechanism, LBM and CrCL were found to affect pharmacokinetics of veliparib while concomitant administration of T + C did not affect veliparib's CL/F. Plasma concentrations were found to be a reasonable surrogate for veliparib concentrations in peripheral blood and bone marrow supernatant but not blasts. The current model will be utilized to conduct exposure-response analysis to support dosing recommendations.

Extended-infusion ceftolozane-tazobactam treatment at 1.5 g every 8 h was used to treat multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a critically ill patient on continuous venovenous hemofiltration. Serum drug concentrations were measured at 1, 4, 5, 6, and 8 h after the start of infusion. Prefilter levels of ceftolozane produced a maximum concentration of drug (Cmax) of 38.57 µg/ml, concentration at the end of the dosing interval (Cmin) of 31.63 µg/ml, time to Cmax (Tmax) of 4 h, area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 8 h (AUC0-8) of 284.38 µg · h/ml, and a half-life (t1/2) of 30.7 h. The concentrations were eight times the susceptibility breakpoint for the entire dosing interval.

BACKGROUND: Previous clinical studies of trazpiroben, a dopamine D2 /D3 receptor antagonist for long-term treatment of moderate-to-severe idiopathic and diabetic gastroparesis, have shown improved symptoms of fullness. This study assessed trazpiroben efficacy, safety, and tolerability in adults with idiopathic and diabetic gastroparesis versus placebo. METHODS: This global, multicenter, double-blind, parallel-group, phase 2b study (NCT03544229) enrolled eligible adults aged 18-85 years with symptomatic idiopathic or diabetic gastroparesis. Randomized participants received either oral placebo or trazpiroben 5, 25, or 50 mg, administered twice daily over 12 weeks, and completed the American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index-Daily Diary. Change in weekly composite score from baseline to week 12 (primary endpoint) and treatment-emergent adverse events were assessed. Data were summarized descriptively. KEY RESULTS: Overall, 242 participants were enrolled (mean [standard deviation] age 55.7 [14.2] years; 75.6% female); 193 completed the study. No significant differences in change from baseline in weekly average of the daily diary composite score occurred at week 12 between placebo (least-squares mean [standard error] -1.19 [0.12]) and trazpiroben (5, 25, and 50 mg: -1.11 [0.22], -1.17 [0.12], and -1.21 [0.12], respectively). Overall, 41.4% of participants receiving trazpiroben reported treatment-emergent adverse events (placebo, 39.7%). No serious events were considered trazpiroben-related; no life-threatening or fatal events were reported. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES: There was no clinically meaningful difference in efficacy between trazpiroben and placebo in treating gastroparesis, based on the primary endpoint analysis. Trazpiroben was well tolerated with no new safety concerns identified, strengthening evidence supporting its favorable safety profile. NCT number: NCT03544229.

BACKGROUND: Centanafadine is an inhibitor of reuptake transporters for norepinephrine (NET), dopamine (DAT) and serotonin (SERT). AIMS: This phase 1, adaptive-design positron emission tomography study investigated the occupancy time course of NET, DAT, and SERT and the relationship to centanafadine plasma concentrations. METHODS: Healthy adult males received centanafadine sustained-release 400 mg/day for 4 days (N = 6) or 800 mg in a single day (N = 4). Assessments included safety monitoring; time course of occupancy of NET, DAT, and SERT; and centanafadine plasma concentrations. RESULTS: Transporter occupancy was numerically higher for NET versus DAT or SERT. For NET, estimated (mean ± standard error [SE]) maximal observable target occupancy (TOmax) and concentration at half maximal occupancy (IC50) were 64 ± 7% and 132 ± 65 ng/mL, respectively, for all regions and 82 ± 13% and 135 ± 97 ng/mL after excluding the thalamus, which showed high nonspecific binding. For DAT and SERT, TOmax could not be established and was assumed to be 100%; estimated IC50 (mean ± SE) values were 1580 ± 186 ng/mL and 1,760 ± 309 ng/mL, respectively. For centanafadine, the estimated in vivo affinity ratio was 11.9 ± 6.0 (mean ± SE) for NET/DAT, 13.3 ± 7.0 for NET/SERT, and 1.1 ± 0.2 for DAT/SERT. DAT and SERT occupancies at a plasma concentration of 1400 ng/mL were estimated to be 47 and 44%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: High occupancy at NET and moderate occupancy at DAT and SERT was observed at peak concentrations achieved following 400 mg total daily doses of centanafadine.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has concluded that the efficacy of drugs approved for the treatment of partial onset seizures (POS) in adults can be extrapolated to pediatric patients 1 month of age and above and that independent efficacy trials in this pediatric population are no longer needed. This paper focuses on the dosing, pharmacokinetic (PK), exposure-response, and clinical information that were leveraged from the approved drugs for the treatment of POS to conduct analyses that supported extrapolation of efficacy in pediatric patients. Clinical data from trials for eight drugs (levetiracetam, oxcarbazepine, topiramate, lamotrigine, gabapentin, perampanel, tiagabine, and vigabatrin) approved in both adults and pediatric patients for the treatment of POS were analyzed. Comparisons of exposures at approved doses, placebo response, and model-based exposure-response relationships were performed. Based on disease similarity, similar response to intervention, and similar exposure-response relationships in adults and pediatric patients, it was concluded that extrapolation of efficacy in pediatric patients aged 1 month and above is acceptable. PK analysis to determine pediatric dose and regimens that provide drug exposure similar to that known to be effective in adult patients with POS will be required, along with long-term open-label safety data in pediatric patients.

A pediatric formulation workshop entitled "Pediatric Formulations: Challenges of Today and Strategies for Tomorrow" was held to advance pediatric drug product development efforts in both pre-competitive and competitive environments. The workshop had four main sessions discussing key considerations of Formulation, Analytical, Clinical and Regulatory. This paper focuses on the clinical session of the workshop. It provides an overview of the discussion on the interconnection of pediatric formulation design and development, clinical development strategy and pediatric clinical pharmacology. The success of pediatric drug product development requires collaboration of multi-disciplinary teams across the pharmaceutical industry, consortiums, foundations, academia and global regulatory agencies. Early strategic planning is essential to ensure alignment among major stakeholders of different functional teams. Such an alignment is particularly critical in the collaboration between formulators and clinical pharmacology teams.

A workshop on "Pediatric Formulation Development: Challenges of Today and Strategies for Tomorrow" was organized jointly by the University of Maryland's Center of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation (M-CERSI), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the International Consortium for Innovation and Quality in Pharmaceutical Development (IQ) Drug Product Pediatric Working Group (PWG). This multi-disciplinary, pediatric focused workshop was held over a two-day period (18-19 Jun 2019) and consisted of participants from industry, regulatory agencies, academia and other organizations from both US and Europe. The workshop consisted of sequential sessions on formulation, analytical, clinical, and regulatory and industry lessons learned and future landscape. Each session began with a series of short framing presentations, followed by facilitated breakout sessions and panel discussion. The formulation session was dedicated to three main topics pertaining to drug product acceptability, excipients in pediatrics and oral administration device considerations. The analytical session discussed key considerations for dosing vehicle selection and analytical strategies for testing of different dosage forms, specifically mini-tablets (multiparticulates). The clinical session highlighted the influence of pediatric pharmacokinetics prediction on formulation design, pediatric drug development strategies and clinical considerations to support pediatric formulation design. The regulatory and industry lessons learned and future landscape session explored the regional differences that exist in regulatory expectations, requirements for pediatric formulation development, and key patient-centric factors to consider when developing novel pediatric formulations. This session also discussed potential collaboration opportunities and tools for pediatric formulation development. This manuscript summarizes the key discussions and outcomes of all the sessions in the workshop with a broadened review and discussion of the topics that were covered.

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (henceforth, neuropathy) is often dose limiting and is generally managed by empirical dose modifications. We aimed to (1) identify an early time point that is predictive of future neuropathy using a patient-reported outcome and (2) propose a dose-adjustment algorithm based on simulated data to manage neuropathy. In previous work, a dose-neuropathy model was developed using dosing and patient-reported outcome data from Cancer and Leukemia Group B 40502 (Alliance), a randomized phase III trial of paclitaxel, nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel or ixabepilone as first-line chemotherapy for locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. In the current work, an early time point that is predictive of the future severity of neuropathy was identified based on predictive accuracy of the model. Using the early data and model parameters, simulations were conducted to propose a dose-adjustment algorithm for the prospective management of neuropathy in individual patients. The end of the first 3 cycles (12 weeks) was identified as the early time point based on a predictive accuracy of 75% for the neuropathy score after 6 cycles. For paclitaxel, nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel, and ixabepilone, simulations with the proposed dose-adjustment algorithm resulted in 61%, 48%, and 35% fewer patients, respectively, with neuropathy score ≥8 after 6 cycles compared to no dose adjustment. We conclude that early patient-reported outcome data on neuropathy can be used to guide dose adjustments in individual patients that reduce the severity of future neuropathy. Prospective validation of this approach should be undertaken in future studies.

PURPOSE: Veliparib is an oral inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase enzyme. Combination of veliparib and temozolomide was well-tolerated and demonstrated clinical activity in older patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or AML arising from pre-existing myeloid malignancies. We aimed to perform quantitative assessments of pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety of veliparib in this patient population to inform future trial design. METHODS: Population pharmacokinetic analysis was performed using Phoenix® NLME with pharmacokinetic data obtained from 37 subjects after oral administration of veliparib in a Phase I study with and without temozolomide. Effect of covariates (age, sex, BMI, creatinine clearance (CLCR), and co-administration of temozolomide) on the pharmacokinetics of veliparib were evaluated, as well as impact of veliparib exposure on mucositis (dose-limiting toxicity), objective response rate (ORR), and overall survival. RESULTS: A two-compartment model with first-order elimination and a first-order absorption with lag-time adequately described veliparib pharmacokinetics. CLCR and body weight were clinically significant covariates for veliparib disposition. The proportion of subjects with all grade mucositis increased with veliparib exposure (AUC). However, no trend in ORR and overall survival was observed with increasing exposure. CONCLUSIONS: Veliparib with temozolomide presents a promising combination for older patients with myeloid leukemias. An exposure-safety relationship was established for this combination. Further clinical investigations aimed at elucidating the veliparib exposure-efficacy/safety relationship and optimizing dosing recommendations for maximizing benefit-risk in patients with advanced myeloid malignancies should study veliparib doses ranging up to 120 mg in combination with temozolomide.

OBJECTIVE: Current extended-release (ER) formulations of psychostimulants used for treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) provide an extended duration of ADHD symptom control; however, the onset of efficacy can be protracted and variable, leaving the early morning untreated. The primary objective was to characterize the single-dose pharmacokinetics and tolerability of HLD200, an evening-dosed, delayed-release (DR) and ER formulation of methylphenidate (MPH), in healthy adults and in adolescents and children with ADHD. METHODS: The pharmacokinetics and tolerability of a single, oral evening dose of HLD200 (54 mg) were evaluated in two single-center open-label studies: the first in healthy adults (n = 12) and the second in adolescents (n = 18) and children (n = 11) with ADHD. Primary pharmacokinetic endpoints were the rate and extent of MPH absorption (Cmax and area under the curve [AUC]) and time to peak concentration (Tmax). These parameters were calculated using noncompartmental analysis. RESULTS: HLD200 produced a pharmacokinetic profile characterized by an 8- to 10-hour delay in MPH release, followed by a period of extended controlled release, resulting in an ascending absorption profile that coincided with the early morning and afternoon. Mean values (coefficient of variation [CV]%) of weight-adjusted pharmacokinetic parameters were similar in adults and in adolescents and children with ADHD: Cmax ([ng/mL]/[mg/kg]) was 9.1 (35.2), 8.8 (34.5), and 7.4 (30.1); AUC0-t ([ng · h/mL]/[mg/kg]) was 126.5 (35.5), 129.4 (34.8), and 129.7 (27.3); and Tmax (hours) was 15.6 (11.1), 17.1 (14.5), and 17.7 (14.1), respectively. Intersubject variability in the mean time to achieve ascending plasma MPH concentrations of 2, 3, 4, and 5 ng/mL was low (CV: 7.8%-17.7%). CONCLUSIONS: Evening-dosed HLD200 produces the intended DR and ER pharmacokinetic profile that provides a consistent predictable delay in initial MPH release until the early morning, followed by extended release across the day. The body weight-adjusted pharmacokinetics of HLD200 were similar between adults and adolescents and children with ADHD.

Purpose: A phase I trial of veliparib in combination with topotecan plus carboplatin (T+C) demonstrated a 33% objective response rate in patients with hematological malignancies. The objective is to perform exposure-response analysis to inform the phase II trial design.Experimental Design: Pharmacokinetic, efficacy, and safety data from 95 patients, who were administered 10 to 100 mg b.i.d. doses of veliparib for either 8, 14, or 21 days with T+C, were utilized for exposure-efficacy (objective response and overall survival) and exposure-safety (≥grade 3 mucositis) analysis. Multivariate cox proportional hazards and logistic regression analyses were conducted. The covariates evaluated were disease status, duration of treatment, and number of prior therapies.Results: The odds of having objective response were 1.08-fold with 1,000 ng/hr/mL increase in AUC, 1.8-fold with >8 days treatment, 2.8-fold in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), and 0.5-fold with ≥2 prior therapies. Based on analysis of overall survival, hazard of death decreased by 1.5% for 1,000 ng/hr/mL increase in AUC, 39% with >8 days treatment, 44% in patients with MPN, while increased by 19% with ≥2 prior therapies. The odds of having ≥grade 3 mucositis increased by 29% with 1,000 ng.h/mL increase in AUC.Conclusions: Despite shallow exposure-efficacy relationship, doses lower than 80 mg do not exceed veliparib single agent preclinical IC50 Shallow exposure-mucositis relationship also supports the 80-mg dose. Based on benefit/risk assessment, veliparib at a dose of 80 mg b.i.d. for at least 14 days in combination with T+C is recommended to be studied in MPN patients.

Veliparib (ABT-888) is a novel oral poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor that is being developed for the treatment of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. Although the pharmacokinetics of veliparib have been studied in combination with cytotoxic agents, limited information exists regarding the pharmacokinetics (PK) of chronically dosed single-agent veliparib in patients with either BRCA 1/2-mutated cancer or PARP-sensitive tumors. The objectives of the current analysis were to characterize the population pharmacokinetics of veliparib and its primary, active metabolite, M8, and to evaluate the relationship between veliparib and M8 concentrations and poly-ADP-ribose (PAR) level observed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Seventy-one subjects contributed with veliparib plasma concentrations, M8 plasma concentrations, and PAR levels in PBMCs. Veliparib and M8 concentrations were modeled simultaneously using a population PK approach. A 2-compartment model with delayed first-order absorption and the elimination parameterized as renal (CLR /F) and nonrenal clearance (CLNR /F) adequately described veliparib pharmacokinetics. The pharmacokinetics of the M8 metabolite was described with a 2-compartment model. Creatinine clearance(CLCR ) and lean body mass (LBM) were identified as significant predictors of veliparib CLR /F and central volume of distribution, respectively. For a typical subject (LBM, 48 kg; CLCR , 95 mL/min), total clearance (CLR /F + CLNR /F), and central and peripheral volume of distribution for veliparib were estimated as 17.3 L/h, 98.7 L, and 48.3 L, respectively. At least 50% inhibition of PAR levels in PBMCs was observed at dose levels ranging from 50 to 500 mg.

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a dose-limiting toxicity caused by several chemotherapeutic agents. Currently, CIPN is managed by empirical dose modifications at the discretion of the treating physician. The goal of this research is to quantitate the dose-CIPN relationship to inform the optimal strategies for dose modification. Data were obtained from the Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) 40502 trial, a randomized phase III trial of paclitaxel vs. nab-paclitaxel vs. ixabepilone as first-line chemotherapy for locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. CIPN was measured using a subset of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Gynecologic Oncology Group Neurotoxicity (FACT-GOG-NTX) scale. A kinetic-pharmacodynamic (K-PD) model was utilized to quantitate the dose-CIPN relationship simultaneously for the three drugs. Indirect response models with linear and Smax drug effects were evaluated. The model was evaluated by comparing the predicted proportion of patients with CIPN (score ≥8 or score ≥12) to the observed proportion. An indirect response model with linear drug effect was able to describe the longitudinal CIPN data reasonably well. The proportion of patients that were falsely predicted to have CIPN or were falsely predicted not to have CIPN was 20% or less at any cycle. The model will be utilized to identify an early time point that can predict CIPN at later time points. This strategy will be utilized to inform dose adjustments to prospectively manage CIPN.

The objective of the present work was to use modeling and simulation to inform trial design of a proof-of-concept study for agents used in the treatment of hyperhidrosis. Data were available from 36 subjects who received the vehicle, 2% or 4% topical glycopyrrolate wipes daily for 4 weeks, with response (hyperhidrosis disease severity scale [HDSS] and sweat production [SP]) measured weekly. The HDSS and SP time courses were best described using a longitudinal model with maximum response achieved by 1 week. Glycopyrrolate 4% had a higher HDSS responder rate than 2% (50% vs 33%) and placebo (0%) at week 1. Mean change from baseline (mg/5 min [SD]) in SP at week 1 was -90 (220), -185 (214), and -271 (265) for placebo, 2%, and 4% glycopyrrolate, respectively. Subjects with higher baseline SP had higher sweat reduction from baseline. Virtual clinical trials were simulated and analyzed using conventional (at the end of the study) versus model-based methods to determine sample size for achieving 80% power to identify a dose-response relationship. Twenty-seven subjects compared with at least 120 subjects would be needed using model-based and conventional methods, respectively. Thus, the model-based method using longitudinal data required fewer subjects than the conventional single-point method.
