Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE CYP2C19 is a key factor influencing escitalopram (SCIT) exposure. However, different studies reported various results. This study aims to develop a population pharmacokinetic (popPK) model characterizes the disposition of SCIT in the Chinese population. Based on the popPK model, the study simulates non-adherence scenarios and proposes remedial strategies to facilitate SCIT personalized therapy. METHODS Nonlinear mixed-effects modeling using data from two Chinese bioequivalence studies was employed. Monte-Carlo simulation was used to explore non-adherence scenarios and propose remedial strategies based on the proportion of time within the therapeutic window. RESULTS Results showed that a one-compartment model with transit absorption and linear elimination described the data well, CYP2C19 phenotypes and weight were identified as significant covariates impacting SCIT exposure. Patients were recommended to take the entire delayed dose immediately if the delay time was no >12 h, followed by the regular regimen at the next scheduled time. When there is one or two doses missed, taking a double dose immediately was recommended to the CYP2C19 intermediate and extensive population, and a 1.5-fold dose was recommended to the CYP2C19 poor metabolizers with the consideration of adverse effects. LIMITATION All samples were derived from the homogenized Chinese healthy population for model building, which may pose certain constraints on the ability to identify significant covariates, such as age. CONCLUSION The study highlights the importance of considering patient characteristics for personalized medication and offers a unique perspective on utilizing the popPK repository in precision dosing.

Effects of CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 gene variants on escitalopram and aripiprazole treatment outcome and serum levels: results from the CAN-BIND 1 study. Transl Psychiatry 2022; 12:366.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 drug-metabolizing enzymes may contribute to interindividual differences in antidepressant outcomes. We investigated the effects of CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 gene variants on response, tolerability, and serum concentrations. Patients (N = 178) were treated with escitalopram (ESC) from weeks 0-8 (Phase I), and at week 8, either continued ESC if they were responders or were augmented with aripiprazole (ARI) if they were non-responders (<50% reduction in Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale from baseline) for weeks 8-16 (Phase II). Our results showed that amongst patients on ESC-Only, CYP2C19 intermediate and poor metabolizers (IM + PMs), with reduced or null enzyme function, trended towards significantly lower symptom improvement during Phase II compared to normal metabolizers (NMs), which was not observed in ESC + ARI. We further showed that CYP2D6 NMs and IM + PMs had a higher likelihood of reporting a treatment-related central nervous system side effect in ESC-Only and ESC + ARI, respectively. The differences in the findings between ESC-Only and ESC + ARI may be due to the altered pharmacokinetics of ESC by ARI coadministration in ESC + ARI. We provided evidence for this postulation when we showed that in ESC-Only, CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 IM + PMs demonstrated significantly higher ESC concentrations at Weeks 10 and 16 compared to NMs. In contrast, ESC + ARI showed an association with CYP2C19 but not with CYP2D6 metabolizer group. Instead, ESC + ARI showed an association between CYP2D6 metabolizer group and ARI metabolite-to-drug ratio suggesting potential competition between ESC and ARI for CYP2D6. Our findings suggest that dosing based on CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 genotyping could improve safety and outcome in patients on ESC monotherapy.

Abstract
Introduction Escitalopram is commonly prescribed to patients with recurrent depressive disorder. Some of them do not show adequate response to treatment with escitalopram, while many of them experience adverse drug reactions. Objective The objective of our study was to evaluate the impact of -806C>T polymorphism of CYP2C19 (CYP2C19*17) on the concentration/dose ratio of escitalopram in patients with recurrent depressive disorder. Material and methods Our study enrolled 267 patients with recurrent depressive disorder (average age -40.2 ± 16.4 years). Treatment regimen included escitalopram in an average daily dose of 12.5 ± 5.0 mg per day. The efficacy and safety rates of treatment were evaluated using the international psychometric scales. For genotyping, we performed the real-time polymerase chain reaction. Therapeutic drug monitoring has been performed using HPLC-MS/MS. Results Our findings revealed the statistically significant results in terms of both treatment efficacy evaluation (HAMD scores at the end of the treatment course): (CC) 9.0 [7.0; 11.0], (CT) 4.0 [2.0; 6.0] and (TT) 2.0 [1.0; 4.0], p < 0.001; and safety profile (the UKU scores): (CC) 7.0 [7.0; 8.0], (CT) 3.0 [3.0; 4.0] and (TT) 3.0 [2.0; 3.0], p < 0.001. We revealed no statistically significant results for the concentration/dose ratio of escitalopram in patients with different genotypes: (CC) 5.762 [3.939; 9.076], (CT) 5.714 [3.485; 8.533] and (TT) 7.388 [4.618; 10.167], p = 0.268). Conclusion The CYP2C19*17 genetic variant significantly affected the efficacy and safety profiles of escitalopram in a group of 267 patients with recurrent depressive disorder but did not greatly affect its equilibrium plasma concentration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The cytochrome P-450 2C19 (CYP2C19) enzyme is involved in the metabolism of numerous antidepressants. It also metabolises some endogenous substrates, which could also confer to vulnerability. We aimed to establish whether the severity of depression and treatment response are associated with the genetically predicted CYP2C19 phenotype. METHODS We assessed the CYP2C19 genotype-predicted metabolic phenotypes (normal, intermediate or ultrarapid, there were no poor metabolisers) in patients with moderate or severe depression. We used the self-rated Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) scale and the clinician-rated Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) at baseline, after 2 and 4 weeks of an empirical treatment trial. Patients and clinicians were blind to the genetic testing results. RESULTS Seventy-six patients participated in the present study. At baseline, impaired CYP2C19 metabolisers, compared to normal metabolisers, had higher BDI-II (P = 0.046; ηp2 = 0.08) but not MADRS score. Intermediate metabolisers more often had a diagnosis of severe depression than normal metabolisers (P = 0.003). After 4 weeks of empirical treatment, intermediate metabolisers had significantly higher MADRS and BDI-II scores than normal metabolisers (P = 0.006; ηp2 = 0.131 and P = 0.030; ηp2 = 0.091). These differences were independent of the use of CYP2C19-metabolised medications in the treatment trial, as well as the treatment discrepancy status. CONCLUSIONS Intermediate CYP2C19 polymorphism-predicted activity was associated with more severe depression after an empirical treatment trial. The lack of association between the prescription of CYP2C19-metabolised drugs and treatment response calls for a further look into the role of endogenous substrates of CYP2C19.

Abstract
Depression disorder is one of the most serious mental illnesses in the world. Escitalopram is the essential first-line medication for depression disorder. It is the substrate of hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme CYP2C19 with high polymorphism. The effect of CYP2C19 on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics on Caucasian population has been studied. The Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium Guideline provides dosing recommendations for escitalopram on CYP2C19 genotypes on the basis of the studies on Caucasian population. However, the gene frequency of the alleles of CYP2C19 showed racial differences between Chinese and Caucasian populations. Representatively, the frequency of the *2 and *3 allele, which were considered as poor metabolizer, has been shown to be three times higher in Chinese than in Caucasians. In addition, the environments might also lead to different degrees of impacts on genotypes. Therefore, the guidelines based on the Caucasians may not be applicable to the Chinese, which induced the establishment of a guideline in China. It is necessary to provide the evidence of individual treatment of escitalopram in Chinese by studying the effect of CYP2C19 genotypes on the pharmacokinetics parameters and steady-state concentration on Chinese. In this study, single-center, randomized, open-label, two-period, two-treatment crossover studies were performed. Ninety healthy Chinese subjects finished the trials, and they were included in the statistical analysis. The pharmacokinetics characteristics of different genotypes in Chinese were obtained. The results indicate that the poor metabolizer had higher exposure, and increased half-life than the extensive metabolizer and intermediate metabolite. The prediction of steady-state concentration based on the single dose trial on escitalopram shows that the poor metabolizer might have a higher steady-state concentration than the extensive metabolizer and intermediate metabolite in Chinese. The results indicate that the genetic testing before medication and the adjustment of escitalopram in the poor metabolizer should be considered in the clinical treatments in Chinese. The results provide the evidence of individual treatment of escitalopram in Chinese, which will be beneficial for the safer and more effective application of escitalopram in the Chinese population.
