Clinical implications of the Drug-Drug Interaction in Cancer Patients treated with innovative oncological treatments. Crit Rev Oncol Hematol 2024; 200:104405. [PMID: 38838928 DOI: 10.1016/j.critrevonc.2024.104405] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2024] [Revised: 05/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024] Open
Abstract
In the last two-decades, innovative drugs have revolutionized cancer treatments, demonstrating a significant improvement in overall survival. These drugs may present several pharmacokinetics interactions with non-oncological drugs, and vice versa, and, non-oncological drugs can modify oncological treatment outcome both with pharmacokinetic interaction and with an "off-target impact" on the tumor microenvironment or on the peripheral immune response. It's supposed that the presence of a drug-drug interaction (DDI) is associated with an increased risk of reduced anti-tumor effects or severe toxicities. However, clinical evidence that correlate the DDI presence with outcome are few, and results are difficult to compare because of difference in data collection and heterogeneous population. This review reports all the clinical evidence about DDI to provide an easy-to-use guide for DDI management and dose adjustment in solid tumors treated with inhibitors of the cyclin-dependent kinases CDK4-6, Antibody-drug conjugates, Poly ADPribose polymerase inhibitors, androgen-receptor targeted agents, or immunecheckpoints inhibitors.

Reporting on patient's body mass index (BMI) in recent clinical trials for patients with breast cancer: a systematic review. Breast Cancer Res 2024; 26:81. [PMID: 38778365 PMCID: PMC11112918 DOI: 10.1186/s13058-024-01832-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The proportion of patients with breast cancer and obesity is increasing. While the therapeutic landscape of breast cancer has been expanding, we lack knowledge about the potential differential efficacy of most drugs according to the body mass index (BMI). Here, we conducted a systematic review on recent clinical drug trials to document the dosing regimen of recent drugs, the reporting of BMI and the possible exclusion of patients according to BMI, other adiposity measurements and/or diabetes (leading comorbidity of obesity). We further explored whether treatment efficacy was evaluated according to BMI. METHODS A search of Pubmed and ClinicalTrials.gov was performed to identify phase I-IV trials investigating novel systemic breast cancer treatments. Dosing regimens and exclusion based on BMI, adiposity measurements or diabetes, documentation of BMI and subgroup analyses according to BMI were assessed. RESULTS 495 trials evaluating 26 different drugs were included. Most of the drugs (21/26, 81%) were given in a fixed dose independent of patient weight. BMI was an exclusion criterion in 3 out of 495 trials. Patients with diabetes, the leading comorbidity of obesity, were excluded in 67/495 trials (13.5%). Distribution of patients according to BMI was mentioned in 8% of the manuscripts, subgroup analysis was performed in 2 trials. No other measures of adiposity/body composition were mentioned in any of the trials. Retrospective analyses on the impact of BMI were performed in 6 trials. CONCLUSIONS Patient adiposity is hardly considered as most novel drug treatments are given in a fixed dose. BMI is generally not reported in recent trials and few secondary analyses are performed. Given the prevalence of patients with obesity and the impact obesity can have on pharmacokinetics and cancer biology, more attention should be given by investigators and study sponsors to reporting patient's BMI and evaluating its impact on treatment efficacy and toxicity.

An Integrated QbD Approach for Assessment of pH-Mediated Interaction. J Chromatogr Sci 2024; 62:175-181.

Abstract
The objective of the study was to evaluate the possible pH-dependent interaction of ribociclib succinate with acid-reducing agents, which are concomitantly administered as supportive care medicines in cancer. Quality by Design-based analytical method development for a weakly basic drug ribociclib succinate supposedly having the characteristic ability of pH-dependent solubility was carried out for analyzing micro-dissolution experiment samples in biorelevant media to study pH-dependent interaction. An accurate and robust analytical method was developed using a three-level three-factorial box-behnken design for quantification of ribociclib succinate in micro-dissolution samples by the implementation of the Analytical Quality by Design approach. Here, pH of aqueous mobile phase and flow rate proved to be critical process parameters. The gastric compartment solubility was found to be 814.05 μg/mL, which dropped down to 494.71 μg/mL after a pH shift from pH 1.2-6.5. In the intestinal compartment, initial solubility was 717.58 μg/mL, which reduced to 463.20 μg/mL after a pH shift from 6.5 to 6.8. Concluded results state that pH shift does not impact the solubility or the absorption of the drug to a significant extent in the presence of acid-reducing agents. However, the study would prove to be a practical approach for examination of the behavior of the drugs at the initial stages.

Use of Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Data to Develop the CDK4/6 Inhibitor Ribociclib for Patients with Advanced Breast Cancer. Clin Pharmacokinet 2024; 63:155-170. [PMID: 38244190 PMCID: PMC10847209 DOI: 10.1007/s40262-023-01338-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/22/2024]
Abstract
Ribociclib is an orally bioavailable, selective cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor. CDK4/6 inhibition by ribociclib leads to retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (Rb) reactivation, thereby restoring Rb-mediated cell cycle arrest. Ribociclib is approved for the treatment of patients with hormone receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor-2-negative (HR+/HER2-) advanced breast cancer (ABC), at the dose of 600 mg once daily (QD) during cycles of 21 days on/7 days off, with optional dose reduction to 400 mg and 200 mg. Ribociclib is rapidly absorbed with a median time to reach maximum plasma concentration of 2.4 h, mean half-life of 32.0 h and oral bioavailability of 65.8% at 600 mg. It is eliminated mainly by hepatic metabolism (~ 84% of total elimination), mostly by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4. Age, body weight, race, baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group status, food, mild hepatic impairment, mild-to-moderate renal impairment, proton pump inhibitors, and combination partners (non-steroidal aromatase inhibitors or fulvestrant) have no clinically relevant impact on ribociclib exposure. Ribociclib inhibits CYP3A at 600 mg leading to increased exposure of CYP3A substrates. Strong CYP3A inhibitors or inducers increase or decrease, respectively, ribociclib exposure. Exposure-safety and exposure-efficacy analyses support the clinical benefit of the 600 mg QD starting dose, with potential individualized dose reductions to 400 mg and 200 mg for effective management of the adverse events neutropenia and QTcF interval prolongation, while maintaining efficacy, in patients with HR+/HER2- ABC. Overall, these clinical pharmacology data informed ribociclib dose justification and clinical development, as well as its prescribing information for clinical use in advanced breast cancer patients.

Justifying Ribociclib Dose in Patients with Advanced Breast Cancer with Renal Impairment Based on PK, Safety, and Efficacy Data: An Innovative Approach Integrating Data from a Dedicated Renal Impairment Study and Oncology Clinical Trials. Clin Pharmacokinet 2023; 62:493-504.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Renal impairment is common in patients with cancer and can alter the PK and thus the safety and efficacy of drugs. We assessed the impact of renal impairment during treatment with ribociclib, a cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor, and determined dose recommendations for patients with advanced breast cancer with renal impairment. METHODS A comprehensive assessment integrating pharmacokinetic, safety, and efficacy data from a phase I dedicated renal impairment study in non-cancer subjects and six phase I-III trials in patients with cancer was performed. RESULTS Ribociclib showed higher pharmacokinetic exposure in subjects with renal impairment than those with normal renal function following a single 400-mg dose in the dedicated renal impairment study. However, in patient trials, both single-dose and steady‑state ribociclib exposure was comparable between patients with cancer with mild/moderate renal impairment and those with normal renal function following the recommended starting dose of 600 mg. Model-predicted steady‑state exposure in patients with advanced breast cancer was also similar across the renal function groups. Progression-free survival was similar and safety profiles were generally consistent across the renal cohorts (normal/mild/moderate) in patients with advanced breast cancer, with low-grade and manageable adverse events, demonstrating a positive benefit-risk profile. CONCLUSIONS From the collective evidence and considering a real-world clinical setting, no dose adjustment is recommended for patients with mild/moderate renal impairment, whereas a reduced dose is recommended for patients with severe renal impairment. This report presented a holistic and innovative strategy to determine dose in patients with renal impairment and demonstrated the effectiveness of integrating the data of both a clinical pharmacology study and patient trials to justify doses in patients with renal impairment.

Abstract
In solid organ transplant recipients, cancer is associated with worse prognosis than in the general population. Among the causes of increased cancer‐associated mortality, are the limitations in selecting the optimal anticancer regimen in solid organ transplant recipients, because of the associated risks of graft toxicity and rejection, drug‐to‐drug interactions, reduced kidney or liver function, and patient frailty and comorbid conditions. The advent of immunotherapy has generated further challenges, mainly because checkpoint inhibitors increase the risk of rejection, which may have life‐threatening consequences in recipients of life‐saving organs. In general, there are no safe or unsafe anticancer drugs. Rather, the optimal choice of the anticancer regimen results from a careful risk/benefit assessment, from the awareness of potential pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic drug‐to‐drug interactions, and of the risk of drug overexposure in patients with kidney or liver dysfunction. In this review, we summarize general principles that may help the oncologists and transplant physicians in the multidisciplinary management of recipients of solid organ transplantation with cancer who are candidates for chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy.
