Rechallenge in idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury: An analysis of cases in two large prospective registries according to existing definitions. Pharmacol Res 2024; 203:107183. [PMID: 38631619 DOI: 10.1016/j.phrs.2024.107183] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Data on positive rechallenge in idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) are scarce. We aim to analyse the clinical presentation, outcome and drugs associated with positive rechallenge in two DILI registries. METHODS Cases from the Spanish and Latin American DILI registries were included. Demographics, clinical characteristics and outcome of cases with positive rechallenge according to CIOMS/RUCAM and current definitions were analysed. RESULTS Of 1418 patients with idiosyncratic DILI, 58 cases had positive rechallenge (4.1%). Patients with positive rechallenge had shorter duration of therapy (p=0.001) and latency (p=0.003). In patients with rechallenge, aspartate transaminase levels were increased (p=0.026) and showed a prolonged time to recovery (p=0.020), albeit no differences were seen in terms of fatal outcomes. The main drug implicated in rechallenge was amoxicillin-clavulanate (17%). The majority of re-exposure events were unintentional (71%). Using both existing definitions of positive rechallenge, there were four cases which exclusively fulfilled the current criteria and five which only meet the historical definition. All cases of positive rechallenge, irrespective of the pattern of damage, fulfilled the criteria of either alanine transaminase (ALT) ≥3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) and/or alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≥2 times ULN. CONCLUSIONS Episodes of rechallenge were characterised by shorter duration of therapy and latency, and longer time to resolution, but did not show an increased incidence of fatal outcome. Based on our findings, ALT ≥3 times ULN and/or ALP ≥2 times ULN, regardless of the pattern of damage, is proposed as a new definition of rechallenge in DILI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited kidney condition caused by a single-gene mutation. It leads patients to kidney failure in more than 50% of cases by the age of 60, and, given the dominant inheritance, this disease is present in the family history in more than 90% of cases. AREAS COVERED This review aims to analyze the set of preclinical and early-phase studies to provide a general view of the current progress on ADPKD therapeutic options. Articles from PubMed and the current status of the trials listed in clinicaltrials.gov were examined for the review. EXPERT OPINION Many potential therapeutic targets are currently under study for the treatment of ADPKD. A few drugs have reached the clinical phase, while many are currently still in the preclinical phase. Organoids could be a novel approach to the study of drugs in this phase. Other than pharmacological options, very important developing approaches are represented by gene therapy and the use of MiRNA inhibitors.

Expert Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol 2023; 17:1041-1051. [PMID: 37794713 DOI: 10.1080/17474124.2023.2267421] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Tolvaptan has been approved for the management of cirrhosis-related complications according to the Japanese and Chinese practice guidelines, but not the European or American practice guidelines in view of FDA warning about its hepatotoxicity. This study aimed to systematically evaluate its efficacy and safety in cirrhosis. METHODS The PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane library databases were searched to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the efficacy and/or safety of tolvaptan in cirrhosis. Risk ratios (RRs) and weight mean differences (WMDs) were calculated. The incidence of common adverse events (AEs) was pooled. RESULTS Eight RCTs were included. Tolvaptan was significantly associated with higher rates of improvement of ascites (RR = 1.49, P < 0.001) and hyponatremia (RR = 1.80, P = 0.005) and incidence of any AEs (RR = 1.18, P = 0.003), but not serious AEs (RR = 0.86, P = 0.410). Tolvaptan was significantly associated with reductions in body weight (WMD = -1.30 kg, P < 0.001) and abdominal circumference (WMD = -1.71 cm, P < 0.001), and increases in daily urine volume (WMD = 1299.84 mL, P < 0.001) and serum sodium concentration (WMD = 2.57 mmol/L, P < 0.001). The pooled incidences of dry mouth, thirst, constipation, and pollakiuria were 16%, 24%, 6%, and 17%, respectively. CONCLUSION Short-term use of tolvaptan may be considered in cirrhotic patients with ascites who have inadequate response to conventional diuretics and those with hyponatremia.

Abstract
Idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is an infrequent but important cause of liver disease. Newly identified causes of DILI include the COVID vaccines, turmeric, green tea extract, and immune checkpoint inhibitors. DILI is largely a clinical diagnosis of exclusion that requires evaluation for more common causes of liver injury and a compatible temporal association with the suspect drug. Recent progress in DILI causality assessment includes the development of the semi-automated revised electronic causality assessment method (RECAM) instrument. In addition, several drug-specific HLA associations have been identified that can help with the confirmation or exclusion of DILI in individual patients. Various prognostic models can help identify the 5%-10% of patients at highest risk of death. Following suspect drug cessation, 80% of patients with DILI fully recover, whereas 10%-15% have persistently abnormal laboratory studies at 6 months of follow-up. Hospitalized patients with DILI with an elevated international normalized ratio or mental status changes should be considered for N-acetylcysteine therapy and urgent liver transplant evaluation. Selected patients with moderate to severe drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms or autoimmune features on liver biopsy may benefit from short-term corticosteroids. However, prospective studies are needed to determine the optimal patients and dose and duration of steroids to use. LiverTox is a comprehensive, freely accessible Web site with important information regarding the hepatotoxicity profile of more than 1000 approved medications and 60 herbal and dietary supplement products. It is hoped that ongoing "omics" studies will lead to additional insight into DILI pathogenesis, improved diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, and mechanism-based treatments.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common genetic kidney disorder and the fourth leading cause of end-stage kidney disease. ADPKD encompasses a wide range of morbidity in addition to chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease, and its pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. Progress in the management of this condition includes the 2018 FDA approval of tolvaptan as the only mechanism-specific treatment available for individuals at risk of rapid progression. Assessing the risk of rapid progression is discussed at greater length in a separate article in this special issue. This section will address use and prescription of tolvaptan in more detail and address other therapies that may be considered in the treatment of patients with ADPKD.

Abstract
Ascites is a typical symptom of liver cirrhosis that is caused by a variety of liver diseases. Ascites severely affects the life quality of patients and needs long-term treatment. 25a is a specific urea transporter inhibitor with a diuretic effect that does not disturb the electrolyte balance. In this study, we aimed to determine the therapeutic effect of 25a on ascites with a dimethylnitrosamine (DMN)-induced cirrhotic rat model. It was found that 100 mg/kg of 25a significantly increased the daily urine output by 60% to 97% and reduced the daily abdominal circumference change by 220% to 260% in cirrhotic rats with a water intake limitation. The 25a treatment kept the serum electrolyte levels within normal ranges in cirrhotic rats. The H&E and Masson staining of liver tissue showed that 25a did not change the cirrhotic degree. A serum biochemical examination showed that 25a did not improve the liver function in cirrhotic rats. A Western blot analysis showed that 25a did not change the expression of fibrosis-related marker protein α-SMA, but significantly decreased the expressions of type I collagen in the liver of cirrhotic rats, indicating that 25a did not reverse cirrhosis, but could slow the cirrhotic progression. These data indicated that 25a significantly reduced ascites via diuresis without an electrolyte imbalance in cirrhotic rats. Our study provides a proof of concept that urea transporter inhibitors might be developed as novel diuretics to treat cirrhotic ascites.

Abstract
PURPOSE Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is a hereditary condition characterized by massive kidney enlargement and developmental liver defects. Potential consequences during childhood include the need for kidney replacement therapy (KRT). We report the design of 2 ongoing clinical trials (Study 204, Study 307) to evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy of tolvaptan in children with ARPKD. METHODS Both trials are of multinational, multicenter, open-label design. Age range at enrollment is 28 days to < 12 weeks in Study 204 and 28 days to < 18 years in Study 307. Subjects in both studies must have a clinical diagnosis of ARPKD, and those in Study 204 must additionally have signs indicative of risk of rapid progression to KRT, namely, all of: nephromegaly, multiple kidney cysts or increased kidney echogenicity suggesting microcysts, and oligohydramnios or anhydramnios. Target enrollment is 20 subjects for Study 204 and ≥ 10 subjects for Study 307. RESULTS Follow-up is 24 months in Study 204 (with optional additional treatment up to 36 months) and 18 months in Study 307. Outcomes include safety, tolerability, change in kidney function, and percentage of subjects requiring KRT relative to historical data. Regular safety assessments monitor for possible adverse effects of treatment on parameters such as liver function, kidney function, fluid balance, electrolyte levels, and growth trajectory, with increased frequency of monitoring following tolvaptan initiation or dose escalation. CONCLUSIONS These trials will provide data on tolvaptan safety and efficacy in a population without disease-specific treatment options.

Abstract
Tolvaptan is the current standard of treatment for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. It operates by acting on V2 receptors and blocks vasopressin interactions, causing a reduction in the rate of renal cyst growth and preserving kidney function. The current known risks of tolvaptan involve a serious liver injury characterized by an elevation in total bilirubin and alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase levels. In this report, we document a unique liver injury characterized by an elevated bilirubin with normal alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase levels in a patient who is homozygous for the UGT1A1 consistent with Gilbert syndrome.
