Limited sampling strategy to predict free mycophenolic acid area under the concentration-time curve in paediatric patients with nephrotic syndrome. Clin Exp Pharmacol Physiol 2023; 50:486-496. [PMID: 36846865 DOI: 10.1111/1440-1681.13765] [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: 10/07/2022] [Revised: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/01/2023]
Abstract
In paediatric patients, there is no data on the recommended area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 12 h (AUC0-12 ) for free mycophenolic acid (fMPA), which is the active form of the drug, responsible for the pharmacological effect. We decided to establish the limited sampling strategy (LSS) for fMPA for its use in MPA therapeutic monitoring in children with nephrotic syndrome treated with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). This study included 23 children (aged 11 ± 4 years) from whom eight blood samples were collected within 12 h after MMF administration. The fMPA was determined using the high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection method. LSSs were estimated with the use of R software and bootstrap procedure. The best model was chosen based on a number of profiles with AUC predicted within ± 20% of AUC0-12 (good guess), r2 , mean prediction error (%MPE) of ±10% and mean absolute error (%MAE) of less than 25%. The fMPA AUC0-12 was 0.1669 ± 0.0697 μg h/mL and the free fraction was within 0.16%-0.81%. In total, there were 92 equations developed of which five fulfilled the acceptance criteria for %MPE, %MAE, good guess >80% and r2 > 0.900. These equations consisted of three time points: model 1 (C1 , C2 , C6 ), model 2 (C1 , C3 , C6 ), model 3 (C1 , C4 , C6 ), model 5 (C0 , C1 , C2 ), and model 6 (C1 , C2 , C9 ). Although blood sampling up to 9 h after MMF dosing is impractical, it is crucial to include C6 or C9 in LSS to assess fMPA AUCpred correctly. The most practical fMPA LSS, which fulfilled the acceptance criteria in the estimation group, was fMPA AUCpred = 0.040 + 2.220 × C0 + 1.130 × C1 + 1.742 × C2 . Further studies should define the recommended fMPA AUC0-12 value in children with nephrotic syndrome.

Pharmacokinetics of free and total mycophenolic acid in paediatric and adult renal transplant recipients: Exploratory analysis of the effects of clinical factors and gene variants. Basic Clin Pharmacol Toxicol 2022; 131:60-73.

Abstract
Clinical and genetic influencing factors on free fraction of mycophenolic acid (MPA) have rarely been discussed. The present study investigated whether the clinical and genetic factors could explain the variability in the pharmacokinetics of free MPA (fMPA) and total MPA (tMPA) in Chinese paediatric and adult renal transplant recipients. Twenty-eight paediatric and 31 adult patients were enrolled, and the concentrations of tMPA and fMPA were determined at 0 h (predose) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10 and 12 h after mycophenolate mofetil administration. Genetic polymorphisms of UGTs (rs671448, rs1042597, rs2741049, rs62298861, rs7439366, rs12233719) and ABCC2 (rs717620) were simultaneously determined. The clinical and genetic data were analysed and reported. tMPA and fMPA concentrations adjusted for dose per body weight were consistently higher in adults than in paediatric patients. In the paediatric group, only albumin and time after transplantation correlated significantly with the MPA-free fraction variation, which could explain 32.4% of the variability. Besides, ABCC2 polymorphism, albumin and time after transplantation correlated significantly with the MPA-free fraction variation in adults, which could explain 56.9% of the variability. The influencing factors in the paediatric group are different from those in adults, which may be due to age-related transporter expression.

Improved outcomes of single-unit cord blood transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia by killer immunoglobulin-like receptor 2DL1-ligand mismatch. Bone Marrow Transplant 2022; 57:1171-1179. [PMID: 35538140 DOI: 10.1038/s41409-022-01700-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2022] [Accepted: 04/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
The impact of the killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR)-ligand mismatch between donor and recipient in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is controversial. Recently, it has been suggested that their effect on cord blood transplantation (CBT) differs among types of mismatched KIR-ligand and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. To investigate their role in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), mismatch of KIR2DL1, KIR3DL1, and KIR3DL2-ligand (HLA-C2, Bw4, and A3/11) were retrospectively assessed in patients undergoing CBT with GVHD prophylaxis comprising a calcineurin inhibitor plus methotrexate (CNI/MTX) or mycophenolate mofetil (CNI/MMF). In patients who received CNI/MTX, a favorable effect of KIR-ligand mismatch on relapse was noted in HLA-C2 mismatched cases (24.8% at 3 years post-CBT [no HLA-C2 mismatch, n = 1602] vs. 15.4% [HLA-C2 mismatch, n = 161], P = 0.0116). In this group, overall survival (OS) was also superior (68.2%, P = 0.0083) compared to the other group (55.0%). Multivariate analysis results supported these findings (hazard ratio [HR] 0.61 for relapse, P = 0.017 and HR 0.72 for OS, P = 0.016). However, the KIR-ligand mismatch effect was not observed in patients with KIR-ligand mismatch types other than HLA-C2 and those using CNI/MMF for GVHD prophylaxis. These results suggest that HLA-C2 mismatch in CBT using CNI/MTX as GVHD prophylaxis may improve the outcomes of patients with AML.

Sensitive quantification of free pazopanib using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry and assessment of clinical application. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2021; 206:114348. [PMID: 34509660 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2021.114348] [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: 05/24/2021] [Revised: 08/25/2021] [Accepted: 08/27/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
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
ABSTRACT When mycophenolic acid (MPA) was originally marketed for immunosuppressive therapy, fixed doses were recommended by the manufacturer. Awareness of the potential for a more personalized dosing has led to development of methods to estimate MPA area under the curve based on the measurement of drug concentrations in only a few samples. This approach is feasible in the clinical routine and has proven successful in terms of correlation with outcome. However, the search for superior correlates has continued, and numerous studies in search of biomarkers that could better predict the perfect dosage for the individual patient have been published. As it was considered timely for an updated and comprehensive presentation of consensus on the status for personalized treatment with MPA, this report was prepared following an initiative from members of the International Association of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring and Clinical Toxicology (IATDMCT). Topics included are the criteria for analytics, methods to estimate exposure including pharmacometrics, the potential influence of pharmacogenetics, development of biomarkers, and the practical aspects of implementation of target concentration intervention. For selected topics with sufficient evidence, such as the application of limited sampling strategies for MPA area under the curve, graded recommendations on target ranges are presented. To provide a comprehensive review, this report also includes updates on the status of potential biomarkers including those which may be promising but with a low level of evidence. In view of the fact that there are very few new immunosuppressive drugs under development for the transplant field, it is likely that MPA will continue to be prescribed on a large scale in the upcoming years. Discontinuation of therapy due to adverse effects is relatively common, increasing the risk for late rejections, which may contribute to graft loss. Therefore, the continued search for innovative methods to better personalize MPA dosage is warranted.

J Cell Mol Med 2020; 24:11146-11157.

Abstract
The lack of efficient ex vivo expansion methods restricts clinical use of haematopoietic stem cells (HSC) for the treatment of haematological malignancies and degenerative diseases. Umbilical cord blood (UCB) serves as an alternative haematopoietic stem cell source. However, currently what limits the use of UCB‐derived HSC is the very low numbers of haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells available for transplantation in a single umbilical cord blood unit. Here, we report that TNFSF15, a member of the tumour necrosis factor superfamily, promotes the expansion of human umbilical cord blood (UCB)‐derived HSC. TNFSF15‐treated UCB‐HSC is capable of bone marrow engraftment as demonstrated with NOD/SCID or NOD/Shi‐SCID/IL2Rgnull (NOG) mice in both primary and secondary transplantation. The frequency of repopulating cells occurring in the injected tibiae is markedly higher than that in vehicle‐treated group. Additionally, signal proteins of the Notch pathway are highly up‐regulated in TNFSF15‐treated UCB‐HSC. These findings indicate that TNFSF15 is useful for in vitro expansion of UCB‐HSC for clinical applications. Furthermore, TNFSF15 may be a hopeful selection for further UCB‐HSC application or study.

Abstract
Pharmacometrics is the mathematical study of pharmacokinetics, disease progression, and clinical outcomes. One objective of pharmacometrics is to facilitate rational drug treatment in patients, also termed clinical pharmacometrics. In this review, our clinical pharmacometric studies conducted over the last 10 years are discussed. Population pharmacokinetic analysis using therapeutic monitoring data for levetiracetam revealed that oral clearance allometrically scaled to both body weight and estimated glomerular filtration rate can accurately predict clinical data from patients of various ages (pediatric to elderly) with varying renal function. Dosage adjustments based on renal function in the package information are effective in controlling the trough and peak concentrations in similar ranges. In addition, a retrospective pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study revealed that the efficacy of low-dose clobazam therapy was significantly influenced by CYP2C19 polymorphisms. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic models were successfully built using electronic medical information to explain retrospective international normalized ratio values of prothrombin time before and after catheter ablation in warfarin-treated patients. Simulation studies suggest that more than 20 mg of vitamin K2 is unnecessary in the preoperative period of catheter ablation. A physiologically based pharmacokinetic model adapted to tacrolimus pharmacokinetic data in patients who underwent living-donor liver transplantation was constructed, and clarified that oral clearance of this drug was affected by CYP3A5 genotypes in both the liver and intestine to the same extent. In conclusion, pharmacometrics is a useful methodology for individualized and optimized drug therapy.

J Pharm Biomed Anal 2018; 165:56-64. [PMID: 30502552 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2018.11.047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2018] [Revised: 11/16/2018] [Accepted: 11/19/2018] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Recently, several studies on pharmacokinetics parameters of daptomycin reported that plasma trough concentration was linked to efficacy and adverse effects, suggesting the usefulness of therapeutic drug monitoring. Although some methods for determining total daptomycin concentration using liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry were established previously, no sensitive quantification method for free drug concentration was established. In this study, we aimed to develop a quantitative method of measuring both total and free daptomycin concentrations using ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS), by which both trough and maximum concentrations can be measured. Plasma samples were prepared by solid phase extraction. Free fractions were obtained by ultrafiltration. The assay fulfilled the requirements of US Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency for assay validation. The methods for total and free drug showed good fit over wide ranges of 0.5-200 and 0.04-40 μg/mL, with lower limits of quantitation of 0.5 and 0.04 μg/mL, respectively. Recovery rate of free daptomycin from ultrafiltration was approximately 100%. Extraction recovery rates of total and free drug measurements ranged from 57.1 to 67.4% and 54.6 to 62.3%, while matrix effect varied between 111.9 and 118.7% and 104.0 and 127.1%, respectively. The maximum and trough concentrations of total and free daptomycin in plasma from two patients in intensive care unit were successfully determined, demonstrating the feasibility of clinical application of the novel methods for determining plasma total and free daptomycin concentrations. In conclusion, we succeeded to develop a sensitive and selective method using UPLC-MS/MS for quantitative measurement of total and free daptomycin concentrations in plasma.
