Laveille C, Snoeck E, Ochoa Díaz de Monasterioguren L, Martínez-González J, Llaudó J, Anta L, Gutierro I. Development of a population pharmacokinetic model for the novel long-acting injectable antipsychotic risperidone ISM®. Br J Clin Pharmacol 2024. [PMID: 38866397 DOI: 10.1111/bcp.16115] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024] Open
Abstract
AIMS The aims of this study were to develop a population pharmacokinetic (PK) model for risperidone ISM® and to investigate the relationships between active moiety exposure, as described by apparent clearance (CL40), and several covariates using all data from five clinical studies. METHODS A population PK model was developed using active moiety concentrations from a study in healthy volunteers and two studies in patients with schizophrenia. Data from a comparative bioavailability study in medically stable patients and a Phase III study in patients with acute exacerbation of schizophrenia were then incorporated, using empirical Bayesian feedback and model refinement in NONMEM. Finally, covariate analysis was performed on CL40. RESULTS The final model adequately described the pharmacokinetics of 6288 active moiety concentrations in 17 healthy volunteers and 430 patients with schizophrenia. This one-compartment disposition model had a complex absorption process, combining a small amount immediately entering the central active moiety compartment, two first-order absorption processes and a combined zero-order and first order process, with first-order elimination from the central compartment. Significant covariates on CL40 were BMI and sex. Goodness-of-fit (GOF) plots and visual predictive checks (VPC) confirmed acceptable description of the data. CONCLUSIONS The population PK model adequately described active moiety concentrations from five clinical studies after risperidone ISM® administration. Relationships between active moiety exposure and covariates were defined in order to facilitate simulations for future studies. The model showed that risperidone ISM® rapidly achieves therapeutic plasma levels within the first hours after the first injection that are maintained sustainedly throughout the whole dosing interval following once-monthly gluteal injections of 100 mg and 75 mg.

Abstract
One of the key pharmacokinetic properties of most small molecule drugs is their ability to bind to serum proteins. Unbound or free drug is responsible for pharmacological activity while the balance between free and bound drug can impact drug distribution, elimination, and other safety parameters. In the hepatic impairment (HI) and renal impairment (RI) clinical studies, unbound drug concentration is often assessed; however, the relevance and impact of the protein binding (PB) results is largely limited. We analyzed published clinical safety and pharmacokinetic studies in subjects with HI or RI with PB assessment up to October 2022 and summarized the contribution of PB results on their label dose recommendations. Among drugs with HI publication, 32% (17/53) associated product labels include PB results in HI section. Of these, the majority (9/17, 53%) recommend dose adjustments consistent with observed PB change. Among drugs with RI publication, 27% (12/44) of associated product labels include PB results in RI section with the majority (7/12, 58%) recommending no dose adjustment, consistent with the reported absence of PB change. PB results were found to be consistent with a tailored dose recommendation in 53% and 58% of the approved labels for HI and RI section, respectively. We further discussed the interpretation challenges of PB results, explored treatment decision factors including total drug concentration, exposure-response relationships, and safety considerations in these case examples. Collectively, comprehending the alterations in free drug levels in HI and RI informs treatment decision through a risk-based approach.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyze the factors affecting the concentrations of the active moiety of risperidone (RIS) and its active metabolite 9-hydroxyrisperidone (9-OH-RIS) in psychiatric outpatients taking immediate-release formulations. METHODS This is a retrospective study on the therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) data regarding RIS and 9-OH-RIS in adult psychiatric outpatients. TDM data with simultaneous RIS and 9-OH-RIS monitoring from March 2018 to February 2020 and relevant medical records (including dosage, dosage form, sex, age, diagnosis, combined medication, and comorbid disease) from 399 adult psychiatric outpatients (223 males and 176 females) were included in this study. RESULTS The daily dose of RIS was 5.56 ± 2.05 mg, the concentration of total active moiety was 42.35 ± 25.46 ng/mL, and the dose-adjusted plasma concentration (C/D) of active moiety was 7.83 ± 3.87 (ng/ml)/(mg/day). Dose, sex, and age were identified as important factors influencing concentrations of RIS and 9-OH-RIS in adult psychiatric outpatients. CONCLUSIONS Individualized medication adjustments should be made according to the specific conditions of psychiatric outpatients. The findings strongly support the use of TDM to guide dosing decisions in psychiatric outpatients taking RIS.

Abstract
Previous analysis of pharmacokinetic data on risperidone-treated patients with dementia predicted that 20% had concentration-to-dose (C/D) ratios of the active moiety (risperidone and 9-hydroxy(OH)-risperidone) above 14 ng/mL per mg/day, which were in turn associated with a greater risk of extrapyramidal side effects. This study aimed to further explore risperidone pharmacokinetics in a second dataset. Nonlinear mixed effects modelling, using a Bayesian approach, was applied to data from a randomized controlled trial of risperidone in people with dementia. Covariates included age and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Age had a significant effect on risperidone clearance (β = -1.5) and GFR on 9-OH-risperidone clearance (β = 0.2). The model predicted that 26.2% (95% confidence interval 18.6-32.6%) had C/D ratios above 14 ng/mL per mg/day. These findings confirm the importance of age-related risperidone dose adjustments and argue strongly for therapeutic drug monitoring in the initial stages of treatment to identify those at greatest risk of toxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Chronic kidney disease (CKD) may alter drug renal elimination but is also known for interacting with hepatic metabolism via multiple uremic components. However, few global models, considering the five major cytochromes, have been published, and none specifically address the decrease in cytochrome P450 (CYP450) activity. The aim of our study was to estimate the possibility of quantifying residual cytochrome activity as a function of filtration rate, according to the data available in the literature. METHODS For each drug in the DDI-predictor database, we collected available pharmacokinetic data comparing drug exposition in the healthy patient and in various stages of CKD, before building a model capable of predicting the variation of exposure according to the degree of renal damage. We followed an In vivo Mechanistic Static Model (IMSM) approach, previously validated for predicting change in liver clearance. We estimated the remaining fraction parameters at glomerular filtration rate (GFR) = 0 and the alpha value of GFR to 50% impairment for the 5 major cytochromes using a non-linear constrained regression using Matlab software. RESULTS Thirty-one compounds had usable pharmacokinetic data, with 51 AUC ratios between healthy and renal impaired patients. The remaining CYP3A4 activity was estimated to be 0.4 when CYP2D6, 2C9, 2C19 and 1A2 activity was estimated to be 0.43; 1; 0.73 and 0.7, respectively. The alpha value was estimated to be at 6.62; 25; 9.8; 1.38 and 11.04 for each cytochrome. In comparison with published data, all estimates but one were correctly predicted in the range of 0.5-2. CONCLUSION Our approach was able to describe the impact of CKD on metabolic elimination. Modelling this process makes it possible to anticipate changes in clearance and drug exposure in CKD patients, with the advantage of greater simplicity than approaches based on physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modelling. However, a precise estimation of the impact of renal failure is not possible with an IMSM approach due to the large variability of the published data, and thus should rely on specific pharmacokinetic modelling for narrow therapeutic margin drugs.

Physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model to investigate the effect of pregnancy on risperidone and paliperidone pharmacokinetics: Application to a pregnant woman and her neonate.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine the effects of pregnancy and ontogeny on risperidone and paliperidone pharmacokinetics by assessing their serum concentrations in two subjects and constructing a customized physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model. Risperidone and paliperidone serum concentrations were determined in a pregnant woman and her newborn. PBPK models for risperidone and paliperidone in adults, pediatric, and pregnant populations were developed and verified using the Simcyp simulator. These models were then applied to our two subjects, generating their "virtual twins." Effects of pregnancy on both drugs were examined using models with fixed pharmacokinetic parameters. In the neonatal PBPK simulation, 10 different models for estimating the renal function of neonates were evaluated. Risperidone was not detected in the serum of both pregnant woman and her newborn. Maternal and neonatal serum paliperidone concentrations were between 2.05-3.80 and 0.82-1.03 ng/ml, respectively. Developed PBPK models accurately predicted paliperidone's pharmacokinetics, as shown by minimal bias and acceptable precision across populations. The individualized maternal model predicted all observed paliperidone concentrations within the 90% prediction interval. Fixed-parameter simulations showed that CYP2D6 activity largely affects risperidone and paliperidone pharmacokinetics during pregnancy. The Flanders metadata equation showed the lowest absolute bias (mean error: 22.3% ± 6.0%) and the greatest precision (root mean square error: 23.8%) in predicting paliperidone plasma concentration in the neonatal population. Our constructed PBPK model can predict risperidone and paliperidone pharmacokinetics in pregnant and neonatal populations, which could help with precision dosing using the PBPK model-informed approach in special populations.

Abstract
Abstract
There are now 9 available FDA-approved second-generation long-acting injectable antipsychotics including aripiprazole (3), olanzapine (1), paliperidone (3), and risperidone (2). These high-cost medications are commonly used with the goal of improving adherence and patient outcomes. With almost 2 decades of use, key aspects have been well studied, including population pharmacokinetics, CYP interactions and various clinical and economic outcomes. However, there are still unknowns with these medications. Issues including adherence, transition from oral antipsychotics, renal dosing, pharmacogenomics, and managing missed doses will be addressed in the context of 4 patient cases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The effects of antipsychotic drugs are dose-dependent, which is particularly true for their efficacy, each antipsychotic having a specific dose-response curve. This may justify individualizing doses for these agents. AREAS COVERED We review the pharmacokinetic profiles of seven oral antipsychotics: haloperidol, risperidone, olanzapine, clozapine, quetiapine, ziprasidone, and aripiprazole. Their main indications are psychotic and affective disorders. They are prescribed in a very large population which may have comorbidities. Hence, we analyze the impact of the latter on the pharmacokinetic profiles of these antipsychotics, focusing on renal and hepatic impairment. Reviews and clinical trials were discussed based on a systematic literature search (PubMed) ranging from 1995 to 2022. EXPERT OPINION Factors liable to impact antipsychotic dosage are numerous and their subsequent effects often hard to predict, due to multi-level interactions and compensatory phenomena. In clinical practice, physicians must be aware of these potential effects, but base their decisions on monitoring antipsychotic plasma levels.

Abstract
Recently, the concept of psychonephrology was developed and has been recognized as a field of study that focuses on nephrology and mental health fields, such as psychiatry and psychosomatic medicine. Indeed, patients with chronic kidney disease frequently suffer from mental problems as the disease stage progresses. Most psychotropic drugs are hepatically metabolized, but some are unmetabolized and eliminated renally. However, renal disease may affect the pharmacokinetics of many psychotropic drugs, as the decreased renal function not only delays the urinary excretion of the drug and its metabolites but also alters various pharmacokinetic factors, such as protein-binding, enterohepatic circulation, and activity of drug-metabolizing enzymes. Therefore, when prescribing drug therapy for patients with both renal disease and mental issues, we should consider reducing the dosage of psychotropic drugs that are eliminated mainly via the kidney and also carefully monitor the blood drug concentrations of other drugs with a high extrarenal clearance, such as those that are largely metabolized in the liver. Furthermore, we should carefully consider the dialyzability of each psychotropic drug, as the dialyzability impacts the drug clearance in patients with end-stage renal failure undergoing dialysis. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) may be a useful tool for adjusting the dosage of psychotropic drugs appropriately in patients with renal disease. We herein review the pharmacokinetic considerations for psychotropic drugs in patients with renal disease as well as those undergoing dialysis and offer new insight concerning TDM in the field of psychonephrology.

Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modelling to Describe the Pharmacokinetics of Risperidone and 9-Hydroxyrisperidone According to Cytochrome P450 2D6 Phenotypes. Clin Pharmacokinet 2021; 59:51-65. [PMID: 31359271 DOI: 10.1007/s40262-019-00793-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The genetic polymorphism of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 is characterized by an excessive impact on positive and adverse drug reactions to antipsychotics, such as risperidone. Consequently, the pharmacokinetics of the drug and metabolite can be substantially altered and exhibit a high variability between the different phenotypes. The goal of this study was to develop a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model considering the CYP2D6 genetic polymorphism for risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone (9-OH-RIS) taking CYP3A4 into account. Additionally, risperidone dose adjustments, which would compensate for genetically caused differences in the plasma concentrations of the active moiety (sum of risperidone and 9-OH-RIS) were calculated. METHODS Based on available knowledge about risperidone, 9-OH-RIS, and relevant physiological changes according to different CYP2D6 phenotypes, several PBPK models were built. In addition, an initial model was further evaluated based on the plasma concentrations of risperidone and 9-OH-RIS from a single-dose study including 71 genotyped healthy volunteers treated with 1 mg of oral risperidone. RESULTS PBPK models were able to accurately describe risperidone exposure after single-dose administration, especially in the concentration range ≥ 1 µg/L, illustrated by a minimal bias and a good precision. About 90.3% of all weighted residuals versus observed plasma concentrations ≥ 1 µg/L were in the ± 30% range. The risperidone/9-OH-RIS ratio increased progressively according to reduced CYP2D6 activity, resulting in a mean ratio of 4.96 for poor metabolizers. Simulations demonstrate that dose adjustment of the drug by - 25% for poor metabolizers and by - 10% for intermediate metabolizers results in a similar exposure to that of extensive metabolizers. Conversely, the risperidone/9-OH-RIS ratio can be used to determine the phenotype of individuals. CONCLUSION PBPK modelling can provide a valuable tool to predict the pharmacokinetics of risperidone and 9-OH-RIS in healthy volunteers, according to the different CYP2D6 phenotypes taking CYP3A4 into account. These models are able to ultimately support decision-making regarding dose-optimization strategies, especially for subjects showing lower CYP2D6 activity.

Abstract
The relevance of the multidrug resistance (ABCB1) and breast cancer resistance (ABCG2) protein transporter polymorphisms for treatment with long-acting intramuscular (LAI) risperidone is largely unknown. We explored the relationship between these polymorphisms and cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 genotype-predicted phenotype in their effects on drug disposition and clinical outcomes in adults with schizophrenia. In a 24-week observational study, patients initiated on LAI-risperidone (n=101) were genotyped [enzymes (CYP2D6 dupl,*3,*4,*5,*6,*41; CYP3A4*22, CYP3A5*3), transporters (ABCG2 421C>A; ABCB1 1236C>T, 2677G>T/A, 3435C>T)] and evaluated for steady-state (weeks 6-8) serum levels of dose-corrected risperidone, 9-OH-risperidone, risperidone+9-OH-risperidone (active moiety), and for response to treatment (PANSS, reduction vs. baseline ≥30% at week 12 and ≥45% at week 24). CYP2D6 normal/ultrarapid metabolizers (NM/UM) (vs. other) had lower risperidone (29%) and active moiety levels (24%) (9-OH-risperidone not affected). The effect on the three analytes was mild (0 to 23% reduction) in ABCG2 wild-type homozygotes and pronounced (44-55% reduction) in ABCG2 variant allele carriers. ABCG2 variant had no effect on disposition in CYP2D6 "other" phenotypes, while the effect was pronounced in CYP2D6 NM/UM subjects (31-37% reduction). ABCB1 polymorphisms had no effect on exposure to risperidone. CYP2D6 NM/UM phenotype tended to lower odds of PANSS response, ABCG2 variant was associated with 4-fold higher odds and ABCB1 (1236C>T, 2677G>T/A, 3435C>T) overall mainly wild-type genotype was associated with around 4--fold lower odds of response. In patients treated with LAI-risperidone, CYP2D6 phenotype effect on systemic exposure is conditional on the ABCG2 421C>A polymorphism. ABCG2 and ABCB1 polymorphisms affect clinical response independently of systemic risperidone disposition.

Abstract
This article describes a method for the simultaneous quantitation of risperidone and its major metabolite, 9-hydroxyrisperidone, in beagle dog plasma by field-amplified sample injection in capillary zone electrophoresis. The separation was carried out at 25°C in a 48 cm × 75 µm fused-silica capillary with an applied voltage of 20 kV using 60 mM NaH2 PO4 buffer (pH 3.6). The detection wavelength was 280 nm. Clean-up and preconcentration of plasma samples were conducted by 96-well formatted liquid-liquid extraction. In this study, this stacking technique provided a sensitivity enhancement of approximately 158 to 188 fold compared with the same sample without stacking. The method was suitably validated with respect to stability, specificity, linearity, lower limit of quantitation, accuracy, precision, and extraction recovery. Calibration curves exhibited good linearity (r2 > 0.995) over a wide concentration range of 2.5 to 200 ng/mL for both risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone. The intra- and interday precisions at the three quality control levels were less than 11.40%. The intra- and interday accuracies ranged from 87.90 to 107.17% for risperidone and from 88.43 to 105.92% for 9-hydroxyrisperidone. All validation data were within the required limits. In conclusion, the method developed was successfully applied to pharmacokinetic studies of risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone in beagle dogs.

Modelling Age-Related Changes in the Pharmacokinetics of Risperidone and 9-Hydroxyrisperidone in Different CYP2D6 Phenotypes Using a Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Approach. Pharm Res 2020; 37:110. [PMID: 32476097 PMCID: PMC7261739 DOI: 10.1007/s11095-020-02843-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2019] [Accepted: 05/19/2020] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Dose-optimization strategies for risperidone are gaining in importance, especially in the elderly. Based on the genetic polymorphism of cytochrome P 450 (CYP) 2D6 genetically and age-related changes cause differences in the pharmacokinetics of risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone. The goal of the study was to develop physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models for the elderly aged 65+ years. Additionally, CYP2D6 phenotyping using metabolic ratio were applied and different pharmacokinetic parameter for different age classes predicted. METHODS Plasma concentrations of risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone were used to phenotype 17 geriatric inpatients treated under naturalistic conditions. For this purpose, PBPK models were developed to examine age-related changes in the pharmacokinetics between CYP2D6 extensive metabolizer, intermediate metabolizer, poor metabolizer, (PM) and ultra-rapid metabolizer. RESULTS PBPK-based metabolic ratio was able to predict different CYP2D6 phenotypes during steady-state. One inpatient was identified as a potential PM, showing a metabolic ratio of 3.39. About 88.2% of all predicted plasma concentrations of the inpatients were within the 2-fold error range. Overall, age-related changes of the pharmacokinetics in the elderly were mainly observed in Cmax and AUC. Comparing a population of young adults with the oldest-old, Cmax of risperidone increased with 24-44% and for 9-hydroxyrisperidone with 35-37%. CONCLUSIONS Metabolic ratio combined with PBPK modelling can provide a powerful tool to identify potential CYP2D6 PM during therapeutic drug monitoring. Based on genetic, anatomical and physiological changes during aging, PBPK models ultimately support decision-making regarding dose-optimization strategies to ensure the best therapy for each patient over the age of 65 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES A clinical trial was conducted to measure and analyse the pharmacokinetic parameters of a lipid formulation of risperidone, VAL401. The VAL401 formulation is designed to repurpose risperidone from an antipsychotic to an adenocarcinoma treatment, with the lipid formulation altering the cellular uptake of risperidone, thus enabling anticancer biology to be exhibited in preclinical testing. METHODS This first human trial of VAL401 measured the concentrations of risperidone and its primary metabolite, 9-hydroxyrisperidone, in the blood of patients after treatment with a single 2-mg dose of VAL401. RESULTS The trial provided information on differences in the pharmacokinetic profile of risperidone in VAL401 that may be caused by the formulation and/or the nature of the cancer patient population. VAL401 provided the following key pharmacokinetic parameters for the risperidone plasma concentration after a single 2-mg dose of VAL401, with results normalised to a dosage of 1 mg for comparison with literature values: Tmax, 2 h; Cmax, 8 ng/ml; half-life, 3.5 h; area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUC0-∞), 58.2 ng h2/mL. CONCLUSIONS Further comparisons of the pharmacokinetic parameters of risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone in plasma of patients administered VAL401 and the corresponding parameters obtained from published data for conventionally formulated risperidone provide evidence for altered biological processing of VAL401 as compared to risperidone. The absolute values obtained provide support for future studies of VAL401 as a cancer treatment, as the Cmax demonstrates sufficient exposure to reach the concentrations seen during preclinical anticancer testing, yet the overall exposure to the active moiety supports the use of the safety and tolerability data from conventional risperidone during future clinical trials.

de Leon J. Personalizing dosing of risperidone, paliperidone and clozapine using therapeutic drug monitoring and pharmacogenetics. Neuropharmacology 2019; 168:107656.

Abstract
By combining knowledge of pharmacogenetics, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and drug-drug interactions (DDIs) the author developed a model for personalizing antipsychotic dosing, which is applied to risperidone, 9-hydroxyrisperidone or paliperidone, and clozapine. Drugs are approved using an average dose for an ideal average patient, but pharmacologists have described outliers: genetic poor metabolizers (PMs) and ultrarapid metabolizers (UMs). Environmental and personal variables can also make patients behave as PMs or UMs. Drug clearance is represented by the concentration-to-dose (C/D) ratio under steady-state and trough conditions. A very low C/D ratio indicates a UM, while a very high C/D ratio indicates a PM. Total risperidone C/D ratio for the oral formulation is around 7 ng/ml per mg/day and can be influenced by CYP2D6 polymorphism, DDIs with inducers and inhibitors, and renal function. Oral paliperidone has low availability; its C/D ratio is around 4.1 ng/ml per mg/d and can be influenced by inducers and renal impairment. Once-a-month long-acting paliperidone provides a C/D ratio around 7.7 ng/ml per mg/day at steady state, which is expected to be in the 8th month (before the 9th injection). TDM is particularly important for long-acting paliperidone formulations that may accumulate once steady state is reached (after years for the 3- and 6-month formulations). In the US, clozapine C/D ratios typically range from 0.6 (male smokers) to 1.2 (female non-smokers) ng/ml per mg/day. East Asians' clozapine C/D ratios appear to be twice as high. Inhibitors (including fluvoxamine and oral contraceptives) and inflammation can also increase clozapine C/D ratios. This article is part of the issue entitled 'Special Issue on Antipsychotics'.

Abstract
A subcutaneous risperidone implant (RI) formulation was developed to improve medication adherence in schizophrenia. Two phase 1 studies were conducted to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of RI in adult patients with schizophrenia. In study 1, all subjects were stable on 4 mg oral risperidone; subsequently, the first subject received 375 mg RI for 1 month, and the remaining subjects received 375 mg RI for 3 months. In study 2, all subjects were stable on oral risperidone 4 mg, 6 mg, or 8 mg and subsequently received RI 480 mg, 720 mg, or 960 mg, respectively, for 6 months. Blood samples were collected at prespecified time points. Various pharmacokinetic parameters were determined in both studies. In both studies risperidone total active moiety plasma concentrations following RI increased slowly, reached therapeutic levels within approximately 2 days, and remained relatively stable. In study 1, the average concentration for RI was 81.3% of the oral trough concentration and 27.5% of the oral peak concentration. In study 2, the steady-state concentration for RI was comparable to the oral trough concentration of the corresponding dose. Patient disease status remained stable with no major safety issues. RI may represent an alternative formulation for schizophrenia treatment with a lower peak-to-trough plasma drug ratio than oral risperidone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Risperidone is a derivative of benzisoxazole and is widely used for schizophrenia and other psychiatric illnesses in both adults and children. Previous studies have confirmed that it is a highly variable drug (within-subject variability ≥ 30%). To reduce the large sample size required for bioequivalence researches on highly variable drugs, a role for genotyping in the design of the bioequivalence study was employed. METHODS A randomized, open-label, two-period crossover study was adopted: 20 subjects with specific genotypes carrying cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6*10 were randomized to two groups to receive a single oral dose of trial formulation or reference formulation with a 2-week washout period. Blood concentrations of risperidone (parent drug) and 9-hydroxy risperidone (active metabolite) were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. RESULTS Eighteen out of the 20 subjects completed the study (two did not finish the test in the second period). The pharmacokinetic parameters of AUClast, AUC∞ and Cmax for the 18 subjects after a single oral dose of the trial or reference preparation were 216.1 ± 88.7 and 220.5 ± 96.8 ng·h/mL; 221.6 ± 93.1 and 226.4 ± 103.5 ng·h/mL; 36.7 ± 10.3 and 36.0 ± 10.2 ng/mL, respectively. The CVw of risperidone in natural logarithm-transformed Cmax was 22.4 and 25.38% for 9-hydroxy risperidone. CONCLUSIONS The test formulation met the Food and Drug Administration guidelines and regulation criteria for bioequivalence. By controlling the genotype, it could actually help reduce the CVw, which may be a feasible method to decrease the sample size for the bioequivalence study of highly variable drugs.

Abstract
We aimed to explore the differences in the pharmacokinetics of risperidone between oral and long-acting injectable (LAI) formulations using a large database of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). Plasma concentrations of risperidone (RIS), its active metabolite (9-OH-RIS) and the active moiety (AM) (RIS+9-OH-RIS), their concentration-to-dose (C/D) ratios and ratio of RIS/9-OH-RIS (an index of CYP2D6 metabolic activity) were used to compare patients receiving risperidone orally (n = 851) and those treated with LAI RIS (n = 63). Patients taking CYP inducers or inhibitors or with liver/renal impairment were eliminated. Our study demonstrated that patients on LAI RIS, despite slightly higher RIS doses in the oral group, showed no significant differences in total AM or 9-OH-RIS. Conversely, RIS concentration, RIS C/D ratio and total C/D ratio were slightly higher in the LAI RIS group, reaching significance due to the large sample size. More importantly, the median ratio of RIS/9-OH-RIS was 0.52 in LAI RIS vs. 0.25 in the oral group, providing a significant difference (p < 0.001). After controlling for confounding factors, we replicated the RIS/9-OH-RIS ratio increases in patients with LAI RIS, probably reflecting a decrease in first-pass metabolism. More studies are required to establish the clinical use of TDM for patients on LAI RIS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate serum concentrations of second-generation antipsychotics in relation to age and gender in a population ranging from 18 to 100 years. METHOD Results from a routine therapeutic drug monitoring database were retrieved, and 43 079 samples from 11 968 patients were included (17 249 samples for clozapine, 16 171 samples for olanzapine, 5343 samples for risperidone, and 4316 samples for quetiapine). The dose-adjusted concentration was used as the primary target variable. A linear mixed model was used to allow the inclusion of multiple samples from each patient. RESULTS Age had a significant impact on the concentrations of all four drugs. At the age of 80, the dose-adjusted concentrations were up to twice those of the age of 40. At the age of 90, dose-adjusted concentrations were two- to three-fold higher. Age-related increases were largest for clozapine (+108% at 80 years; +197% at 90 years) and smallest for olanzapine (+28% at 80 years; +106% at 90 years). Females generally had dose-adjusted concentrations 20-30% higher than males. CONCLUSION The effect of age on the serum concentrations of the antipsychotics studied becomes pronounced with advanced age. The patient population aged above 70 should be subdivided according to exact age, and considerable dose reductions are recommended.

[PMID: 28396010 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijheh.2017.03.007] [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: 12/15/2016] [Revised: 03/17/2017] [Accepted: 03/17/2017] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
The elderly constitute a significant, potentially sensitive, subpopulation within the general population, which must be taken into account when performing risk assessments including determining an acceptable daily exposure (ADE) for the purpose of a cleaning validation. Known differences in the pharmacokinetics of drugs between young adults (who are typically the subjects recruited into clinical trials) and the elderly are potential contributors affecting the interindividual uncertainty factor (UFH) component of the ADE calculation. The UFH values were calculated for 206 drugs for young adult and elderly groups separately and combined (with the elderly assumed to be a sensitive subpopulation) from published studies where the pharmacokinetics of the young adult and elderly groups were directly compared. Based on the analysis presented here, it is recommended to use a default UFH value of 10 for worker populations (which are assumed to be approximately equivalent to the young adult groups) where no supporting pharmacokinetic data exist, while it is recommended to use a default UFH value of 15 for the general population, to take the elderly into consideration when calculating ADE values. The underlying reasons for the large differences between the exposures in the young adult and elderly subjects for the 10 compounds which show the greatest separation are different in almost every case, involving the OCT2 transporter, glucuronidation, hydrolysis, CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A4 or CYP3A5. Therefore, there is no consistent underlying mechanism which appears responsible for the largest differences in pharmacokinetic parameters between young adult and elderly subjects.

Abstract
AIM Delirium is commonly encountered in daily clinical practice. To identify predictors influencing outcomes, we retrospectively examined the characteristics of inpatients with delirium who required psychiatric medication during hospitalization. METHODS We extracted all new inpatients (n=523) consulted for psychiatric symptoms at Fukushima Medical University Hospital between October 2011 and September 2013. We selected 203 inpatients with delirium diagnosed by psychiatrists. We analyzed data from 177 inpatients with delirium who received psychiatric medication. We defined an "early improvement group" in which delirium resolved in ≤3 days after starting psychiatric medication, and a "prolonged group" with delirium lasting for >3 days. Among the 83 inpatients with renal dysfunction (estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m2), we defined an "early improvement group with renal dysfunction" in which delirium resolved in ≤3 days after starting psychiatric medication and a "prolonged group with renal dysfunction" with delirium lasting for >3 days. We then examined differences between groups for different categorical variables. RESULTS Dose of antipsychotic medication at end point was significantly lower in the prolonged group with renal dysfunction than in the early improvement group with renal dysfunction. CONCLUSION The results suggest that maintaining a sufficient dose of antipsychotics from an early stage may prevent prolongation of delirium even in inpatients with renal dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Prediction of drug clearance in liver cirrhosis patients is currently based on in vitro-in vivo extrapolation and physiologically-based pharmacokinetic models. No static model for this purpose has been described. The objectives of this study were to (1) derive a static model for predicting drug exposure in cirrhotic patients, and (2) to evaluate the model on a large set of published data. METHODS The impact of cirrhosis was characterized by the ratio of the total and unbound drug area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) in cirrhotic patients to the AUC measured in healthy subjects These ratios were predicted for Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C. The AUC ratios observed in published data were compared with AUC ratios predicted by the model. RESULTS Among 171 drugs examined, 83 published AUC ratios for 45 drugs in cirrhotic patients were available for analysis. The mean ± standard deviation relative prediction error for the total and unbound AUC ratios was 0.22 ± 0.58 and 0.24 ± 0.56, respectively. There were four outliers among the 83 predicted values. Simulations showed that the prediction error was negligible provided that the hepatic extraction coefficient was less than 0.8. CONCLUSIONS For mild and moderate cirrhosis (classes A and B), the predicted unbound AUC ratio is typically approximately 2 and 3.5, respectively, for most drugs. In the absence of data in cirrhotic patients, the drug dose might be empirically reduced by these factors. In severe cirrhosis (class C), our model may help clinicians to adjust their prescriptions.

Abstract
Recent reviews suggest that chronic kidney disease (CKD) can affect the pharmacokinetics of nonrenally eliminated drugs, but the impact of CKD on individual elimination pathways has not been systematically evaluated. In this study we developed a comprehensive dataset of the effect of CKD on the pharmacokinetics of CYP2D6‐ and CYP3A4/5‐metabolized drugs. Drugs for evaluation were selected based on clinical drug–drug interaction (CYP3A4/5 and CYP2D6) and pharmacogenetic (CYP2D6) studies. Information from dedicated CKD studies was available for 13 and 18 of the CYP2D6 and CYP3A4/5 model drugs, respectively. Analysis of these data suggested that CYP2D6‐mediated clearance is generally decreased in parallel with the severity of CKD. There was no apparent relationship between the severity of CKD and CYP3A4/5‐mediated clearance. The observed elimination‐route dependency in CKD effects between CYP2D6 and CYP3A4/5 may inform the need to conduct clinical CKD studies with nonrenally eliminated drugs for optimal use of drugs in patients with CKD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Little is known about how to best taper antipsychotics used in patients with dementia. To address this gap, we reviewed published antipsychotic discontinuation trials to summarize what is known about tapering strategies for antipsychotics used with older adults with dementia. We further developed pharmacokinetic-based gradual dose reduction (GDR) protocols based on antipsychotic half-lives. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, EMBASE, and International Pharmaceutical Abstracts were searched up to October 2014 to identify intervention studies reporting the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia outcomes resulting from discontinued off-label use of antipsychotics in nursing facility populations. Recently published pharmacokinetic reviews and standard pharmacology texts were used to determine antipsychotic drug half-lives for the pharmacokinetic-based GDR protocols. STUDY SELECTION For the review, studies with an intervention resulting in antipsychotic medication discontinuation or tapering were eligible, including randomized controlled trials and pre- and post-intervention studies. DATA EXTRACTION When available, we extracted the protocols used for antipsychotic GDR from each study included in the review. DATA SYNTHESIS We found that clinical trials used different approaches to antipsychotic discontinuation, including abrupt discontinuation, slow tapers (more than two weeks), and mixed strategies based on drug dosage. None of the published trials described an approach based on pharmacokinetic principles. We developed a two-stage GDR protocol for tapering antipsychotic medications based on the log dose-response relationship; each stage was designed to result in a 50% dose reduction prior to discontinuation. This pharmacologically based strategy for patients chronically prescribed antipsychotics resulted in recommendations for slow tapers. CONCLUSION Our theoretically derived GDR recommendations suggest a different approach than previously published in clinical trials. Further study is needed to evaluate the effect of this approach on patients.

Abstract
AIM The study aims were to characterize risperidone and (±)-9-hydroxyrisperidone pharmacokinetic (PK) variability in children and adolescents and to evaluate covariate effects on PK parameters. METHODS Steady-state samples were drawn at predose, 1, 2, 4, and 7 hours postdose; cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) genotypes were available for 28 subjects. A nonlinear mixed-effects model (NONMEM) modeled the PKs of risperidone and (±)-9-hydroxyrisperidone; covariates included age, weight, sex, and CYP2D6 phenotype. The model included 497 observations [risperidone (n = 163), (+) and (-)-9-hydroxyrisperidone (n = 334)] from 45 subjects aged 3-18.3 (mean 9.6 ± 3.7) years, weighing 16.8-110 (43 ± 20.2) kg. RESULTS A 1-compartment mixture model described risperidone and (±)-9-hydroxyrisperidone clearances for 3 CYP2D6 metabolizer subpopulations: extensive, intermediate, and poor. Weight significantly affected (±)-9-hydroxyrisperidone clearance. Clearance estimates in the mixture model were poor metabolizer 9.38 L/h, intermediate metabolizer 29.2 L/h, and extensive metabolizer 37.4 L/h. CONCLUSION Active moiety [risperidone plus (±)-9-hydroxyrisperidone] PK variability and the covariate effects were better explained with the addition of metabolite PK parameters. This model may aid the development of individualized risperidone dosing regimens in children and adolescents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The effects of hepatic or renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of atypical antipsychotics are not well understood. Drug exposure may increase in patients with hepatic disease, owing to a reduction of certain metabolic enzymes. The objective of the present study was to study the effects of hepatic or renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of asenapine and its N-desmethyl and N⁺-glucuronide metabolites. METHODS Two clinical studies were performed to assess exposure to asenapine, desmethylasenapine and asenapine N⁺-glucuronide in subjects with hepatic or renal impairment. Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined from plasma concentration-time data, using standard noncompartmental methods. The pharmacokinetic variables that were studied included the maximum plasma concentration (C(max)) and the time to reach the maximum plasma concentration (t(max)). Eligible subjects, from inpatient and outpatient clinics, were aged ≥18 years with a body mass index of ≥18 kg/m² and ≤32 kg/m². Sublingual asenapine (Saphris®) was administered as a single 5 mg dose. RESULTS Thirty subjects participated in the hepatic impairment study (normal hepatic function, n = 8; mild hepatic impairment [Child-Pugh class A], n = 8; moderate hepatic impairment [Child-Pugh class B], n = 8; severe hepatic impairment [Child-Pugh class C], n = 6). Thirty-three subjects were enrolled in the renal impairment study (normal renal function, n = 9; mild renal impairment, n = 8; moderate renal impairment, n = 8; severe renal impairment, n = 8). Asenapine and N-desmethylasenapine exposures were unaltered in subjects with mild or moderate hepatic impairment, compared with healthy controls. Severe hepatic impairment was associated with increased area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUC(∞)) values for total asenapine, N-desmethylasenapine and asenapine N⁺-glucuronide (5-, 3-, and 2-fold, respectively), with slight increases in the C(max) of asenapine but 3- and 2-fold decreases in the C(max) values for N-desmethylasenapine and asenapine N⁺-glucuronide, respectively, compared with healthy controls. The mean AUC(∞) of unbound asenapine was more than 7-fold higher in subjects with severe hepatic impairment than in healthy controls. Mild renal impairment was associated with slight elevations in the AUC(∞) of asenapine compared with healthy controls; alterations observed with moderate and severe renal impairment were marginal. N-desmethylasenapine exposure was only slightly altered by renal impairment. No correlations were observed between exposure and creatinine clearance. CONCLUSION Severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C) was associated with pronounced increases in asenapine exposure, but significant increases were not seen with mild (Child-Pugh class A) or moderate (Child-Pugh class B) hepatic impairment, or with any degree of renal impairment. Asenapine is not recommended in patients with severe hepatic impairment; no dose adjustment is needed in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment, or in patients with renal impairment.

Abstract
Although several studies have reported that dopamine D₂ receptor (DRD2) polymorphisms affect the therapeutic efficacy of antipsychotics, other studies have suggested that the plasma drug concentration is related to the clinical response. Currently, there are no definitive data regarding which factor has greater clinical significance. Sixty patients with acute exacerbations of schizophrenia received 6 mg/d of risperidone for 4 weeks. Clinical evaluations using the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale and the Udvalg for Klinicke Undersøgelser Side Effect Rating Scale were performed before and after administration of risperidone. TaqI A and -141C Ins/Del polymorphisms were determined, and the plasma concentrations of risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone were measured. The TaqI A polymorphism had no effect on therapeutic efficacy, but the -141C Ins/Del polymorphism was associated with an improvement in positive symptoms. In addition, the plasma concentration of the active moiety (risperidone plus 9-hydroxyrisperidone) correlated with the improvement in the total Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale score as well as with positive symptoms. Although there were no associations between DRD2 polymorphisms and psychic adverse effects, the plasma drug concentration was associated with psychic adverse effects. These findings suggest that DRD2 polymorphisms are associated with the therapeutic effects of risperidone as they relate to positive symptoms and that plasma drug concentrations are associated with overall symptoms as well as excitement and cognitive symptoms. Both the genotyping of DRD2 and the monitoring of plasma drug concentrations may be useful for improving clinically dominant symptoms. Further work involving replication in a larger sample is required to support our findings.

Abstract
Risperidone has been used to treat behavioral symptoms, such as delusions and agitation, in people with Alzheimer's disease. The relationship between magnitude and variability of risperidone and 9-hydroxy risperidone exposure and the relationship with time to discontinuation of the medication were explored. Sixty-five subjects from the Clinical Antipsychotic Trial of Intervention Effectiveness-Alzheimer's Disease Trial that received risperidone were included in this study. Eighteen subjects completed the study without switching medication (completers on risperidone), whereas 47 discontinued the medication. Those who discontinued were divided into 2 groups according to responsiveness to therapy. Using Cox proportional survival regression analysis, we estimated time to discontinuation and factors associated with treatment discontinuation including age, dose, body mass index, neuropsychiatric inventory baseline score, and average exposure (area under the curve [AUC]) to risperidone and 9-hydroxy risperidone. Twenty-four and 17 subjects discontinued therapy because of inadequate therapeutic effect and side effects, respectively (6 subjects were excluded because of missing information about reason for switching or discontinuation). Discontinuation hazards for those with a higher than median AUC of the metabolite were 2.54 (P = 0.029; inadequate and side effect group combined) and 3.48 (P = 0.025; inadequate effect group) times that of those in the lower than median AUC group. None of the other covariates contributed significantly to the switching hazard. Risperidone metabolite, 9-hydroxy risperidone concentrations, correlated with the risk of switching or discontinuing the medication, suggesting that 9-hydroxy risperidone contributes to adverse events and intolerability in dementia patients.

A population pharmacokinetic evaluation of the influence of CYP2D6 genotype on risperidone metabolism in patients with acute episode of schizophrenia. Eur J Pharm Sci 2010; 41:289-98.

Abstract
The objective of this prospective study was to characterize the metabolism of risperidone to (+)- and (-)-9-hydroxyrisperidone in vivo and to evaluate the influence of CYP2D6 genotype. A population pharmacokinetic modeling approach was used to estimate the interindividual variability of the pharmacokinetic parameters in 50 hospitalized patients with acute episode of schizophrenia. CYP2D6 genotype remarkably influenced the formation clearances of the risperidone metabolites, while creatinine clearance was related to the plasma clearance of 9-hydroxyrisperidone. CYP2D6 genotype was also associated with the average plasma concentration of risperidone active moiety (a sum of all three active compounds). In comparison to the patients with CYP2D6*1/*1 genotype, average steady-state plasma concentration of risperidone active moiety was 3.3- and 1.6-fold higher in poor metabolizers (both alleles nonfunctional; CYP2D6*3 or *4) and intermediate metabolizers (one nonfunctional allele and one allele for diminished enzyme activity; CYP2D6*10 or *41), respectively. Additionally, average plasma concentration of risperidone active moiety was higher in the patients with dystonia (p=0.0066) and parkinsonism (p=0.046). The results of this study imply the potential role of CYP2D6 genotyping in personalizing risperidone therapy in patients with schizophrenia to reduce the incidence of adverse extrapyramidal symptoms.

Abstract
There are no data indicating a clear relationship between the clinical effect of risperidone and plasma drug concentration. In this study, 51 patients with acutely exacerbated schizophrenia received 6 mg risperidone/day for 4 weeks. A clinical evaluation using the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) and Udvalg for Klinicke Undersøgelser (UKU) side effect rating scale were performed at baseline and each week. Significant (P < 0.05) correlations were found between plasma concentrations of risperidone and improved total BPRS scores, positive and cognitive symptoms. Plasma concentrations of the active moiety were significantly (P < 0.05) correlated with improved total BPRS scores. Improved score and percent improvement in anxiety-depression subscale were significantly (P < 0.01) correlated with plasma concentrations of the active moiety. The sum of total UKU side effect scores from 1 to 4 weeks was significantly correlated with plasma concentration of both risperidone (rs = 0.319, P < 0.05) and active moiety (rs = 0.373, P < 0.01). The sum of the psychic subgroup scores was significantly correlated with plasma concentrations of active moiety (rs = 0.318, P < 0.05). Results suggest that plasma drug concentrations are, to some extent, associated with improved scores in some psychopathological schizophrenic symptoms and sedative side effects. These findings should be replicated with a larger patient sample.

Abstract
Antipsychotic medications are widely used to manage psychotic and behavioral disorders in older adults, including primary psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia, and psychosis and behavioral disturbances associated with dementia. These two broad diagnostic indications are associated with contrasting recommended treatment durations, with the former requiring indefinite treatment across the life span. Antipsychotic drug dosing for schizophrenia is based primarily on studies of younger patients and thus may not apply to older adults. It is critically important to address the effects of aging on antipsychotic dosing given the recent emergence of data that suggest a critical role for age-related sensitivity to these drugs. Antipsychotic drugs are not only associated with somatic and neurological adverse effects but also increased all-cause mortality and sudden cardiac death in this vulnerable population. This review focuses on the sensitivity of older adults to adverse effects from antipsychotic medications and the current pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic explanatory models of susceptibility. Implications of recent research findings for individualized pharmacotherapy are discussed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The kidney is a primary route of drug elimination; abnormal kidney function is predicted to alter the pharmacokinetics of agents metabolized and/or excreted predominantly through this route. The high prevalence of mental disorders associated with psychotropic drug use in individuals with deteriorating renal function suggests there is a need to investigate the effects of renal failure on psychotropic pharmacokinetics. The aim of this review is to provide a clinically accessible overview of the effect of chronic renal failure on the pharmacokinetics for each of the major classes of prescribed psychotropic agents. METHODS All English language articles published between 1977 and 2008 were searched through PubMed, using the following keywords: "renal," "kidney," "pharmacokinetics," "renal impairment," "renal insufficiency," and "renal failure." Each of these search words was cross-referenced with the non-proprietary name of each psychotropic agent. The manufacturer's product insert was also reviewed for some agents for updated dosing. Owing to the lack of adequately powered studies, an inclusive manner was used. RESULTS Chronic renal failure variably affects the pharmacokinetic parameters of psychotropic drugs. A review of each psychotropic drug is provided, with an emphasis on the individual pharmacokinetic parameters and recommended dosing. CONCLUSIONS The adjudication of safe and effective doses for any psychotropic agent needs to be individualized. Tactics including dosage adjustment, slow titration, and careful monitoring for serious adverse events should be incorporated into practice.

Abstract
AIMS To characterize pharmacokinetic (PK) variability of risperidone and 9-OH risperidone using sparse sampling and to evaluate the effect of covariates on PK parameters. METHODS PK analysis used plasma samples collected from the Clinical Antipsychotic Trials of Intervention Effectiveness. A nonlinear mixed-effects model was developed using NONMEM to describe simultaneously the risperidone and 9-OH risperidone concentration-time profile. Covariate effects on risperidone and 9-OH risperidone PK parameters were assessed, including age, weight, sex, smoking status, race and concomitant medications. RESULTS PK samples comprised 1236 risperidone and 1236 9-OH risperidone concentrations from 490 subjects that were available for analysis. Ages ranged from 18 to 93 years. Population PK submodels for both risperidone and 9-OH risperidone with first-order absorption were selected to describe the concentration-time profile of risperidone and 9-OH risperidone. A mixture model was incorporated with risperidone clearance (CL) separately estimated for three subpopulations [poor metabolizer (PM), extensive metabolizer (EM) and intermediate metabolizer (IM)]. Age significantly affected 9-OH risperidone clearance. Population parameter estimates for CL in PM, IM and EM were 12.9, 36 and 65.4 l h(-1) and parameter estimates for risperidone half-life in PM, IM and EM were 25, 8.5 and 4.7 h, respectively. CONCLUSIONS A one-compartment mixture model with first-order absorption adequately described the risperidone and 9-OH risperidone concentrations. Age was identified as a significant covariate on 9-OH risperidone clearance in this study.

Abstract
Evidence-based therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), which may be successfully employed to guide drug therapy in clinical routine, supplies all the information from laboratory determination of a drug concentration in a patient's blood specimen. This value is interpreted first of all in relation to a therapeutic reference range that must be established according to the same rules that are generally accepted for clinical studies aimed to license a new drug. The drug concentration may be furthermore interpreted in reference to a dose-related reference range. Thereby a signal is created to alert for individual abnormalities such as drug/drug interactions, gene polymorphisms that give rise to slow/rapid metabolizers, altered function of the excretion organs liver and kidneys by age and/or disease, compliance problems, a missing pharmacokinetic steady state, and even signal overlay in the laboratory analysis. We return all information available and clinical pharmacological comments to physicians who send specimens to our laboratory.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Risperidone and olanzapine are second-generation antipsychotics that are increasingly used in child and adolescent psychiatry. So far, little is known about plasma concentrations and concentration-to-dose (C/D) ratios of these agents in children and adolescents compared to adults. METHOD This study investigated whether age and gender influence risperidone and olanzapine plasma concentration by determining risperidone and olanzapine plasma levels by tandem mass spectrometry in 162 Caucasian patients (98 risperidone and 64 olanzapine). RESULTS For risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone, the C(total)/D ratio was almost identical in both age groups (10-18 and 19-45 years, respectively). In the younger age group, females exhibited significantly higher total plasma levels than males while receiving similar doses of risperidone. For olanzapine, in adolescents significantly higher C/D ratios were detected by an average of 43% (after adjustment for weight: 34%) compared to adults. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates an age effect for olanzapine but not for risperidone resulting in higher olanzapine plasma levels in younger patients. For risperidone, we found a gender effect as female adolescent patients had significantly higher risperidone plasma concentrations than male adolescent patients. Future prospective studies are necessary to clarify whether the prescribed dosage should be different in young and older patients.
