Abstract
PURPOSE Model-based methods can predict pediatric exposure and support initial dose selection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of allometric scaling of population pharmacokinetic (popPK) versus physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models in predicting the exposure of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for pediatric patients (≥ 2 years), based on adult data. The drugs imatinib, sunitinib and pazopanib were selected as case studies due to their complex PK profiles including high inter-patient variability, active metabolites, time-varying clearances and non-linear absorption. METHODS Pediatric concentration measurements and adult popPK models were derived from the literature. Adult PBPK models were generated in PK-Sim® using available physicochemical properties, calibrated to adult data when needed. PBPK and popPK models for the pediatric populations were translated from the models for adults and were used to simulate concentration-time profiles that were compared to the observed values. RESULTS Ten pediatric datasets were collected from the literature. While both types of models captured the concentration-time profiles of imatinib, its active metabolite, sunitinib and pazopanib, the PBPK models underestimated sunitinib metabolite concentrations. In contrast, allometrically scaled popPK simulations accurately predicted all concentration-time profiles. Trough concentration (Ctrough) predictions from the popPK model fell within a 2-fold range for all compounds, while 3 out of 5 PBPK predictions exceeded this range for the imatinib and sunitinib metabolite concentrations. CONCLUSION Based on the identified case studies it appears that allometric scaling of popPK models is better suited to predict exposure of TKIs in pediatric patients ≥ 2 years. This advantage may be attributed to the stable enzyme expression patterns from 2 years old onwards, which can be easily related to adult levels through allometric scaling. In some instances, both methods performed comparably. Understanding where discrepancies between the model methods arise, can further inform model development and ultimately support pediatric dose selection.

Abstract
Oral multi-kinase inhibitors have transformed the treatment landscape for various cancer types and provided significant improvements in clinical outcomes. These agents are mainly approved at fixed doses, but the large inter-individual variability in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (efficacy and safety) has been an unsolved clinical issue. For example, certain patients treated with oral multi-kinase inhibitors at standard doses have severe adverse effects and require dose reduction and discontinuation, yet other patients have a suboptimal response to these drugs. Consequently, optimizing the dosing of oral multi-kinase inhibitors is important to prevent over-dosing or under-dosing. To date, multiple studies on the exposure-efficacy/toxicity relationship of molecular targeted therapy have been attempted for the implementation of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) strategies. In this milieu, we recently conducted research on several multi-kinase inhibitors, such as sunitinib, pazopanib, sorafenib, and lenvatinib, with the aim to optimize their treatment efficacy using a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic approach. Among them, sunitinib use is an example of successful TDM implementation. Sunitinib demonstrated a significant correlation between drug exposure and treatment efficacy or toxicities. As a result, TDM services for sunitinib has been covered by the National Health Insurance program in Japan since April 2018. Additionally, other multi-kinase targeted anticancer drugs have promising data regarding the exposure-efficacy/toxicity relationship, suggesting the possibility of personalization of drug dosage. In this review, we provide a comprehensive summary of the clinical evidence for dose individualization of multi-kinase inhibitors and discuss the utility of TDM of multi-kinase inhibitors, especially sunitinib, pazopanib, sorafenib, and lenvatinib.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pazopanib and sunitinib are oral tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) approved for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma. For both oncolytics, a clear target trough concentration level in plasma has been defined above which improved clinical efficacy can be expected. However, many factors can alter TKI exposure, including disease characteristics. CASE A 79-year old male with metastatic papillary renal cell carcinoma and malignant ascites was treated with pazopanib. Initially, treatment with pazopanib at adequate trough concentrations resulted in regression of ascites. After a 6-month puncture-free interval, paracenteses were again required and the plasma trough concentration of pazopanib had decreased to 5 mg/L without any dose adjustments. Despite a dose increase, pazopanib levels remained subtherapeutic and could not prevent new paracenteses. Pazopanib concentrations in the drained ascites fluid were comparable to plasma concentrations and remained high also after treatment discontinuation. This observation suggests that the ascites compartment may act as a third space in which pazopanib accumulates. During subsequent treatment with sunitinib, a similar distribution over ascites fluid was observed. CONCLUSION Presence of ascites or pleural effusion in patients treated with TKIs may lead to subtherapeutic plasma exposure, which may hamper treatment efficacy. Measuring TKIs plasma concentrations regularly during treatment is essential to identify patients with subtherapeutic exposure.

Abstract
The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/VEGFR and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/c-MET signaling pathways act synergistically to promote angiogenesis. Studies indicate VEGF inhibition leads to increased levels of phosphorylated c-MET, bypassing VEGF-mediated angiogenesis and leading to chemoresistance. We conducted a phase 1 clinical trial with 32 patients with refractory solid tumors to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of combinations of VEGF-targeting pazopanib and the putative c-MET inhibitor ARQ197 (tivantinib) at 5 dose levels (DLs). Patients either took pazopanib and tivantinib from treatment initiation (escalation phase) or pazopanib alone for 7 days, with paired tumor sampling, prior to starting combination treatment (expansion phase). Hypertension was the most common adverse event. No more than 1 dose limiting toxicity (DLT) occurred at any DL, so the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was not determined; DL5 (800 mg pazopanib daily and 360 mg tivantinib BID) was used during the expansion phase. Twenty of 31 evaluable patients achieved stable disease lasting up to 22 cycles. Circulating VEGF, VEGFR2, HGF, and c-MET levels were assessed, and only VEGF levels increased. Tumor c-MET levels (total and phosphorylated) were determined in paired biopsies before and after 7 days of pazopanib treatment. Total intact c-MET decreased in 6 of 7 biopsy pairs, in contrast to previously reported c-MET elevation in response to VEGF inhibition. These results are discussed in the context of our previously reported analysis of epithelial-mesenchymal transition in these tumors.

Abstract
Pazopanib is widely used to treat renal cell carcinomas and soft tissue tumors in Japan. Although several reports demonstrated the usefulness of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of pazopanib, those studies measured only total pazopanib concentration. For drugs with high protein binding rates such as pazopanib, measuring free concentrations may be clinically more useful than measuring total concentrations. In this study, we aimed to develop a high-throughput method for quantification of free pazopanib in human plasma using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). Free pazopanib was separated by ultrafiltration. After a simple solid-phase extraction step using a 96-well plate, pazopanib was analyzed by UHPLC-MS/MS in positive electrospray ionization mode. The novel method fulfilled the requirements of the US Food and Drug Administration guidelines for assay validation, and the lower limit of quantification was 0.05 ng/mL. The calibration curve was linear over the concentration range of 0.05-50 ng/mL. The average recovery rate was 66.9 ± 2.1% (mean ± SD). The precision was below 7.02%, and accuracy was within 10.60% across all quality control levels. Matrix effect varied between 44.4% and 60.4%. This assay was successfully applied to measure trough free pazopanib concentrations in three patients treated with pazopanib for soft tissue tumors. We succeeded to develop a novel high-throughput UHPLC-MS/MS method for quantification of free pazopanib in human plasma. This method can be applied to TDM for patients receiving pazopanib in the clinical setting.

Abstract
Albumin, as the most abundant plasma protein, plays an integral role in the transport of a variety of exogenous and endogenous ligands in the bloodstream and extravascular spaces. For exogenous drugs, especially chemotherapeutic drugs, binding to and being delivered by albumin can significantly affect their efficacy. Meanwhile, albumin can also bind to many endogenous ligands, such as fatty acids, with important physiological significance that can affect tumor proliferation and metabolism. In this review, we summarize how albumin with unique properties affects chemotherapeutic drugs efficacy from the aspects of drug outcome in blood, toxicity, tumor accumulation and direct or indirect interactions with fatty acids, plus application of albumin-based carriers for anti-tumor drug delivery.

Abstract
Background The selective occurrence of hepatotoxicity observed with use of pazopanib may be attributed to its high level of plasma protein binding and low hepatic extraction ratio. The primary objective was to investigate changes in free drug concentration amongst patients with varying albumin concentrations. Methods A HPLC-MS/MS method using C18 column (4.6 × 150 mm, 5 μm) with ESI source in positive mode had been developed and validated for the quantitative determination of free pazaopanib concentration in human plasma. Prior to sample preparation, patient samples were subjected to 6-hour equilibrium dialysis with molecular weight cut-off set at 8000 Da. Results The calibration curves were linear over the range of 5–1000 ng/mL, with a lower limit of quantification of 5 ng/mL. The intra-day and inter-day precisions and accuracies were all within ± 15 %, at 3 different quality controls. Higher median fraction unbound of pazopanib were observed in patients (n = 17) with lower than normal albumin concentrations. Conclusion With the developed assay, monitoring of plasma free concentrations may be evaluated as an indicator of pazopanib exposure in patients.

Abstract
The currently approved dose of pazopanib (800 mg) is being re-examined owing to its adverse effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationships among starting or maintenance doses of pazopanib, estimated pazopanib Cmin, and other clinical factors, including albumin and α-1 acid glycoprotein levels, in soft-tissue sarcoma and renal cell carcinoma. We also determined whether therapeutic drug monitoring of pazopanib concentrations may be used to improve its therapeutic efficacy and prevent adverse effects. Forty patients who received pazopanib for renal cancer or soft-tissue sarcoma at the Hokkaido Cancer Center were evaluated prospectively. Cmin for pazopanib was calculated based on the measured values from the plasma samples. The efficacy and time to treatment failure were then assessed. The pazopanib maintenance doses were 200 (n = 4), 400 (n = 34), 600 (n = 4), and 800 mg (n = 1). Most patients (65%) who received a 400 mg dose had an effective pazopanib concentration (≧20 µg/mL), whereas 35% of patients who received the 400 mg dose had ineffective concentrations (<20 µg/mL). Logistic regression analysis revealed that only the albumin level was significantly associated with effective pazopanib concentrations (odds ratio: 1.37, p = 0.0234). In conclusion, a dose of 400 mg had been effective and well tolerated in more than half of patients in this study. However, therapeutic drug monitoring is necessary during pazopanib therapy.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are anti‐cancer drugs that target tyrosine kinases, enzymes that are involved in multiple cellular processes. Currently, multiple oral TKIs have been introduced in the treatment of solid tumours, all administered in a fixed dose, although large interpatient pharmacokinetic (PK) variability is described. For imatinib, sunitinib and pazopanib exposure‐treatment outcome (efficacy and toxicity) relationships have been established and therapeutic windows have been defined, therefore dose optimization based on the measured blood concentration, called therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), can be valuable in increasing efficacy and reducing the toxicity of these drugs. In this review, an overview of the current knowledge on TDM guided individualized dosing of imatinib, sunitinib and pazopanib for the treatment of solid tumours is presented. We summarize preclinical and clinical data that have defined thresholds for efficacy and toxicity. Furthermore, PK models and factors that influence the PK of these drugs which partly explain the interpatient PK variability are summarized. Finally, pharmacological interventions that have been performed to optimize plasma concentrations are described. Based on current literature, we advise which methods should be used to optimize exposure to imatinib, sunitinib and pazopanib.

Abstract
Pyrotinib is a novel irreversible EGFR/HER2 dual tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is used to treat HER2-positive breast cancer. In this study we investigated the metabolism and disposition of pyrotinib in six healthy Chinese men after a single oral dose of 402 mg of [14C]pyrotinib. At 240 h postdose, the mean cumulative excretion of the dose radioactivity was 92.6%, including 1.7% in urine and 90.9% in feces. In feces, oxidative metabolites were detected as major drug-related materials and the primary metabolic pathways were O-depicoline (M1), oxidation of pyrrolidine (M5), and oxidation of pyridine (M6-1, M6-2, M6-3, and M6-4). In plasma, the major circulating entities identified were pyrotinib, SHR150980 (M1), SHR151468 (M2), and SHR151136 (M5), accounting for 10.9%, 1.9%, 1.0%, and 3.0%, respectively, of the total plasma radioactivity based on the AUC0-∞ ratios. Approximately 58.3% of the total plasma radioactivity AUC0-∞ was attributed to covalently bound materials. After incubation of human plasma with [14C]pyrotinib at 37 °C for 2, 5, 8, and 24 h, the recovery of radioactivity by extraction was 97.4%, 91.8%, 69.6%, and 46.7%, respectively, revealing covalent binding occurred independently of enzymes. A group of pyrotinib adducts, including pyrotinib-lysine and pyrotinib adducts of the peptides Gly-Lys, Lys-Ala, Gly-Lys-Ala, and Lys-Ala-Ser, was identified after HCl hydrolysis of the incubated plasma. Therefore, the amino acid residue Lys190 of human serum albumin was proposed to covalently bind to pyrotinib via Michael addition. Finally, the covalently bound pyrotinib could dissociate from the human plasma protein and be metabolized by oxidation and excreted via feces.

Abstract
Background Pazopanib is indicated in the first-line treatment of metastatic renal cell cancer (mRCC). The aim of this study was to review the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of pazopanib and see how these aspects are linked to clinical practice. Methods A non-exhaustive systematic review was conducted according to the three topics. No publication restrictions were imposed and the selected languages were Spanish and English. After that, a summary of the main results and findings of the review was presented and discussed during three meetings (one for each topic) with 13 medical oncologists that usually treat mRCC. At these meetings, a questionnaire on the first-line use of pazopanib in clinical practice was also drawn up. After the meetings, the questionnaire was completed by 60 specialist medical oncologists in renal cancer. Results The efficacy and safety of pazopanib have been demonstrated in several clinical trials, and subsequently confirmed in studies in real-world clinical practice. In addition to its clinical benefit and good safety profile, quality of life results for pazopanib, which compare favorably to sunitinib, make it a good option in the first-line treatment of patients. Special populations have been included in studies conducted with pazopanib, and it is safe for use in elderly patients, poor functional status, kidney failure, and mild or moderate hepatic impairment, and in patients with concomitant cardiovascular disease. The results of the questionnaire have shown that pazopanib is perceived as an effective drug, in which quality of life (QoL) outcomes are valued above all. Conclusions This paper offers a comprehensive and critical summary of efficacy, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of pazopanib in the treatment of mRCC. Pazopanib is an effective treatment with an acceptable safety profile. Its QoL and tolerability results offer certain advantages when compared with other therapeutic alternatives, and its use appears to be safe in different patient profiles.

Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Pazopanib Inhibits Platelet Procoagulant Activity in Renal Cell Carcinoma Patients. Front Cardiovasc Med 2018; 5:142.

Abstract
Pazopanib is an angiostatic tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) presently used for cancer treatment, particularly in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). This treatment can be accompanied by mild bleeding as an adverse effect. Given the role of protein tyrosine kinases in platelet activation processes, we investigated whether and how pazopanib can affect platelet functions in purified systems and during treatment of advanced RCC patients. In isolated platelets from healthy volunteers, pazopanib dose-dependently reduced collagen-induced integrin activation and secretion, as well as platelet aggregation. Pazopanib addition diminished glycoprotein (GP) VI-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of multiple platelet proteins, including the tyrosine kinase Syk. Furthermore, pazopanib inhibited GPVI-induced Ca2+ elevation, resulting in reduced exposure of the procoagulant phospholipid phosphatidylserine (PS). Upon perfusion of control blood over a collagen surface, pazopanib inhibited thrombus size as well as PS exposure. Blood samples from 10 RCC patients were also analyzed before and after 14 days of pazopanib treatment as monotherapy. This treatment caused an overall lowering in platelet count, with 3 out of 10 patients experiencing mild bleeding. Platelets isolated from pazopanib-treated patients showed a significant lowering of PS exposure upon activation. In addition, platelet procoagulant activity was inhibited in thrombi formed under flow conditions. Control experiments indicated that higher pazopanib concentrations were required to inhibit GPVI-mediated PS exposure in the presence of plasma. Together, these results indicated that pazopanib suppresses GPVI-induced platelet activation responses in a way partly antagonized by the presence of plasma. In treated cancer patients, pazopanib effects were confined to a reduction in GPVI-dependent PS exposure. Together with the reduced platelet count, this may explain the mild bleeding tendency observed in pazopanib-treated patients.

Abstract
Background & Aim To better understand the clinical significance of drug induced liver injury (DILI) during chemotherapy, we examined the epidemiology, incidence, and treatment effects of DILI in patients undergoing chemotherapy for genitourinary malignancies over a two-year period. Methods We conducted a retrospective review of 284 patients who underwent chemotherapy for prostate, bladder, testicular and renal cell carcinomas over a two year period. Those with abnormal or absent liver test (LT) results prior to chemotherapy initiation were excluded. Post chemotherapy LT results were defined as DILI if ALT>3× ULN and/or total bilirubin (TB)>2× ULN, in the absence of other more likely causes of elevated LT. Results The cumulative incidence of DILI in the total study population was 6.1% (17/284), and in the population who had appropriate LT performed it increased to 18.9% (17/90). Chemotherapeutic agents were determined to be the cause of DILI in 82% (14/17) of patients, and the treatment plans were changed in 59% (10/17) of patients. Conclusion In this real world study, the cumulative incidence of DILI was higher than commonly reported in clinical trials, and the majority of affected patients had to have their cancer treatment altered or interrupted.

Abstract
Pazopanib is an inhibitor of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, platelet-derived growth factor receptor, fibroblast growth factor receptor and stem cell receptor c-Kit, and has been approved for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma and soft tissue sarcoma. The pharmacokinetics of pazopanib are complex and are characterized by pH-dependent solubility, large interpatient variability and low, non-linear and time-dependent bioavailability. Exposure to pazopanib is increased by both food and coadministration of ketoconazole, but drastically reduced by proton pump inhibitors. Studies have demonstrated relationships between systemic exposure to pazopanib and toxicity, such as hypertension. Furthermore, a strong relationship between pazopanib trough level ≥20 mg/L and both tumor shrinkage and progression-free survival has been established. At the currently approved daily dose of 800 mg, approximately 20% of patients do not reach this threshold and may be at risk of suboptimal treatment. As a result of this, clinical trials have explored individualized pazopanib dosing, which demonstrate the safety and feasibility of individualized pazopanib dosing based on trough levels. In summary, we provide an overview of the complex pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of pazopanib and, based on the available data, we propose optimized dosing strategies.

Abstract
Creatinine is actively secreted across tubular epithelial cells via organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2) and multidrug and toxin extrusion 1 (MATE1). We previously showed that the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) crizotinib inhibits OCT2-mediated transport of creatinine. In the present work, we examined the inhibitory potency of TKIs, including crizotinib, on MATE1-mediated transport of creatinine. Then, we used the kinetic parameters estimated in this and the previous work to predict the potential impact of TKIs on serum creatinine level (SCr) via reversible inhibition of creatinine transport. Crizotinib inhibited [14C]creatinine uptake by MATE1-overexpressing cells, and the inhibitory effect increased with incubation time, being greater in the case of pre-incubation or combined pre-incubation/co-incubation (pre/co-incubation) than in the case of co-incubation alone. The inhibition was non-competitive, with K i values of 2.34 μM, 0.455 μM and 0.342 μM under co-, pre- or pre/co-incubation conditions, respectively. Similar values were obtained for inhibition of [3H]MPP+ uptake by MATE1-overexpressing cells. Gefitinib, imatinib, pazopanib, sorafenib, and sunitinib also inhibited MATE1-mediated creatinine uptake. Further, all these TKIs except pazopanib inhibited [14C]creatinine uptake by OCT2-overexpressing cells. In rat kidney slices, the ratio of unbound tissue accumulation of TKIs to extracellular concentration ranged from 2.05 to 3.93. Prediction of the influence of TKIs on SCr based on the renal creatinine clearance and plasma maximum unbound concentrations of TKIs suggested that crizotinib and imatinib might increase SCr by more than 10% in the clinical context. Accordingly, it is necessary to be cautious in diagnosing TKI-induced renal failure only on the basis of an increase of SCr.

Abstract
Hyperphosphorylation and aggregation of tau protein is a critical factor in many neurodegenerative diseases. These diseases are increasing in prevalence, and there are currently no cures. Previous work from our group and others has shown that tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) can stimulate autophagy, decrease pathological proteins, and improve symptoms in models of neurodegeneration. Here we examined the role of pazopanib in mouse models that express either human mutant P301L tau (TauP301L) or triple mutant amyloid precursor protein (3x-AβPP). The TauP301L mouse expresses P301L tau under the control of a prion promoter in both neurons and astrocytes, reminiscent of some human tauopathies. Pazopanib crosses the blood-brain barrier with no detectable peripheral off-side effects, and decreases p-tau in TauP301L mice. Pazopanib reaches a brain concentration sufficient for inhibition of several tyrosine kinases, including vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs). Further, pazopanib does not affect microglia but reduces astrocyte levels toward nontransgenic controls in TauP301L mice. Pazopanib does not alter amyloid beta levels or astrocytes in 3x-AβPP mice but modulates a number of inflammatory markers (IP-10, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, and RANTES). These data suggest that pazopanib may be involved in p-tau clearance and modulation of astrocytic activity in models of tauopathies.

Abstract
Introduction Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is a life-threatening emergency caused by rapid cell death as a result of anti-tumor therapy. In the era of targeted therapy it has increasingly been observed in solid malignancies such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Case We describe the case of a 58-year old man with the medical history of a memorial sloan kettering cancer centre (MSKCC) poor prognosis metastasized clear cell renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) who developed TLS within six days after initiating therapy with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) pazopanib. Discussion The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of pazopanib are complex and characterized by a non-linear and time-dependent bioavailability. Pazopanib is almost completely bound to serum albumin (>99.9%). In this presented case, a low serum albumin (26 g/L) might have led to a higher free fraction of pazopanib, which could have resulted in more toxicity. Also, pazopanib is metabolised by the CYP3A4 isoform of the cytochrome P450 group. Low quantities of this enzyme may lead to an impaired and prolonged breakdown of the drug. Conclusion As far as we know this is the first report on pazopanib induced TLS. We advise further research in order to identify the exact mechanism behind TKI-induced TLS and the patients at risk of developing TLS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In the past decade, treatment options for metastatic renal cell carcinoma and soft-tissue sarcoma have expanded. Pazopanib was discovered during the screening of compounds that suppressed vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2). As other tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), pazopanib is not totally specific for one target since it also inhibits stem-cell factor receptor (cKIT), platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFRα, β), VEGFR-1 and -3. Areas covered: Clinical pharmacology, drug-drug interactions and safety data published on pazopanib, between January 2006 and April 2016, are reviewed. Expert opinion: This new therapy has been shown to improve progression-free survival compared with previous approaches, in renal cell cancer and soft-tissue sarcoma. However, some specific sub-populations, such as elderly patients, patients with brain metastases or with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) 2 or comorbidities, are poorly represented in pivotal pazopanib phase III studies. Pazopanib meets criteria defining therapies as candidates for therapeutic drug monitoring: large intra- and inter-patient pharmacokinetic variability, potential pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship and narrow therapeutic index. Knowledge of predictors that can be used to guide dosing regimens in the target population and in special populations needs to be improved.
