[PMID: 39010781 DOI: 10.1080/17425255.2024.2380472] [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: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop and validate a population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model of oral olanzapine in pediatric Chinese patients in order to individualize therapy in this population. METHODS A total of 897 serum concentrations from 269 pediatric patients taking oral olanzapine (ages 8 to 17 years) were collected. Demographic parameters, biological characteristics and concomitant medications were investigated as covariates. The data was analyzed using a nonlinear mixed-effects modeling approach. Bootstrapping (1000 runs), normalized prediction distribution error (NPDE), and external validation of 62 patients were employed. Simulations were performed to explore the individualized dosing regimens in various situations. RESULTS The one-compartment model with first-order absorption and elimination had an apparent clearance (CL/F) of 10.38 L/h, a distribution volume (V/F) of 9.41 L/kg and an absorption rate constant (Ka) fixed at 0.3 h-1. The equation was CL∕F (L∕h) = 10.38 × (body weight∕60)0.25 ×1.33 (if male) × 0.71 (if co-occurrence of infection) × 0.51 (if co-therapy with fluvoxamine) × 1.27 (if co-therapy with sertraline) × 1.43 (if co-therapy with valproate). The final model had satisfactory stability, robustness, and predictive ability. The results from a simulation suggested the oral olanzapine doses required for male and female pediatric patients weighing between 40-60 kg without co-medication were 10-15 mg/day and 7.5-10 mg/day, respectively, and dosage adjustments should be based on sex and body weight; and co-administrated with valproate, sertraline, or fluvoxamine. CONCLUSION This model may help individualize optimum dosing of oral olanzapine for pediatric patients.

Abstract
Clozapine-induced myocarditis (CIM) is among the most important adverse events limiting the use of clozapine as the most effective treatment for schizophrenia. CIM necessitates the immediate termination of clozapine, often resulting in its permanent discontinuation with considerable detrimental effects on patients' psychopathology and long-term outcome. Consequently, a clozapine re-challenge after CIM is increasingly regarded as a viable alternative, with published reports indicating a success rate of approximately 60%. However, published cases of re-challenges after CIM remain limited. Here, we provide a narrative review of the current state of research regarding the epidemiology, pathophysiology, risk factors, diagnosis and clinical management of CIM as well as a synthesis of current recommendations for re-challenging patients after CIM. This includes a step-by-step guide for this crucial procedure based on the current evidence regarding the pathophysiology and risk factors for CIM. Slow dose titration regimes and addressing risk factors including concomitant valproate and olanzapine are crucial both to prevent CIM and to ensure a safe and successful re-challenge. Furthermore, we discuss the utility of C-reactive protein, troponin, N-terminal-pro hormone and brain natriuretic peptide, therapeutic drug-monitoring and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for CIM screening and diagnosis as well as for post-CIM re-challenges.

Abstract
We report the case of a Chinese male with schizoaffective disorder, an active smoker and a nonresponder to clozapine (600 mg daily). Therapeutic clozapine monitoring was analyzed, revealing a low concentration-dose ratio. A pharmacogenetic test showed that the patient had the CYP1A2*1F/*1F genotype, indicating an ultra-rapid clozapine metabolizer. In combination with fluvoxamine, a CYP1A2 enzyme inhibitor, clozapine plasma concentrations approached the reference range and achieved clinical improvement. This case demonstrates how pharmacogenetics can help understand the value of therapeutic drug monitoring to enhance the treatment of refractory schizoaffective disorder.

Abstract
AIMS Guidance on clozapine dosing in treatment-resistant schizophrenia is based largely on data from White young adult males. This study aimed to investigate the pharmacokinetic profiles of clozapine and N-desmethylclozapine (norclozapine) across the age range, accounting for sex, ethnicity, smoking status and body weight. METHODS A population pharmacokinetic model, implemented in Monolix, that linked plasma clozapine and norclozapine via a metabolic rate constant, was used to analyse data from a clozapine therapeutic drug monitoring service, 1993-2017. RESULTS There were 17 787 measurements from 5960 patients (4315 male) aged 18-86 years. The estimated clozapine plasma clearance was reduced from 20.2 to 12.0 L h-1 between 20 and 80 years. Model-based dose predictions to attain a predose plasma clozapine concentration of 0.35 mg L-1 was 275 (90% prediction interval 125, 625) mg day-1 in nonsmoking, White males weighing 70 kg and aged 40 years. The corresponding predicted dose was increased by 30% in smokers, decreased by 18% in females, and was 10% higher and 14% lower in otherwise analogous Afro-Caribbean and Asian patients, respectively. Overall, the predicted dose decreased by 56% between 20 and 80 years. CONCLUSION The large sample size and wide age range of the patients studied allowed precise estimation of dose requirements to attain predose clozapine concentration of 0.35 mg L-1 . The analysis was, however, limited by the absence of data on clinical outcome and future studies are required to determine optimal predose concentrations specifically in those aged over 65 years.

Abstract
Second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs), also known as atypical antipsychotics, are a newer class of antipsychotic drugs used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and related psychiatric conditions. The plasma concentration of antipsychotic drugs is a valid measure of the drug at its primary target structure in the brain, and therefore determines the efficacy and safety of these drugs. However, despite the well-known high variability in pharmacokinetics of these substances, psychiatric medication is usually administered in uniform dosage schedules. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), as the specific method that can help personalised medicine in dose adjustment according to the characteristics of the individual patient, minimizing the risk of toxicity, monitoring adherence, and increasing cost-effectiveness in the treatment, thus seems to be an elegant tool to solve this problem. Non-response to therapeutic doses, uncertain adherence to medication, suboptimal tolerability, or pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions are typical indications for TDM of SGAs. This review aims to summarize an overview of the current knowledge and evidence of the possibilities to tailor the dosage of selected SGAs using TDM, including the necessary pharmacokinetic parameters for personalised pharmacotherapy.

Abstract
Olanzapine is one of the most widely used antipsychotics since its initial approval by the US Food and Drug Administration in 1996 and has undergone extensive pharmacokinetic study. Despite being utilized in clinical psychiatry for decades, there remain questions regarding the variety of available formulations, the utility of therapeutic drug monitoring, altered kinetic properties in special populations/medical illnesses, the use of high-dose olanzapine, and drug interactions, among many others. We performed a narrative literature review of olanzapine pharmacokinetics in June 2023 using the US National Library of Medicine's PubMed.gov resource (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed) and Google Scholar. Herein, we review clinically relevant aspects of olanzapine pharmacokinetic data while highlighting knowledge gaps and potential areas of future study.

Abstract
PURPOSE The goal of the study was to examine clozapine (CLZ) and norclozapine (NCLZ) therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) data and associated sources of pharmacokinetic variability, particularly the impact of valproic acid (VPA) use. METHODS This study included 126 patients with psychiatric disorders on mono- or co-therapy with CLZ. Patients' data during routine TDM were collected retrospectively from clinical records. The descriptive and statistical analysis was computed using IBM SPSS Statistics software (version 22, NY, USA). Multiple linear regression, based on the last observations, was used to assess correlation between demographic characteristics, life habits and co-therapy with dose-corrected serum levels (C/D) of CLZ and NCLZ, as well as CLZ/NCLZ. RESULTS A total of 295 CLZ concentrations were measured in 126 patients, with a mean of 275.5 ± 174.4 µg/L, while 124 NCLZ concentrations were determined in 74 patients, with a mean of 194.6 ± 149.8 µg/L. A statistically significant effect on ln-transformed CLZ C/D was confirmed for sex and smoking, whereas sex, smoking and VPA therapy were associated with ln-transformed NCLZ C/D. According to the final models, lower values of NCLZ C/D for about 45.9% can be expected in patients receiving VPA. Concomitant use of VPA was the only factor detected to contribute in CLZ/NCLZ variability. CONCLUSION The results of this study may help clinicians interpret TDM data and optimize CLZ dosing regimens, especially in patients concomitantly treated with VPA. Our results show that VPA primarily decreases NCLZ levels, while alteration of the parent drug is not statistically significant.

Abstract
AIMS Aripiprazole is one of the most commonly prescribed antipsychotic drugs to children and adolescents worldwide, but it is associated with serious side-effects, including weight gain. This study assessed the population pharmacokinetics of aripiprazole and its active metabolite and investigated the relationship between pharmacokinetic parameters and body mass index (BMI) in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and behavioural problems. Secondary outcomes were metabolic, endocrine, extrapyramidal and cardiac side-effects and drug effectiveness. METHODS Twenty-four children and adolescents (15 males, 9 females) aged 6-18 years were included in a 24-week prospective observational trial. Drug plasma concentrations, side-effects and drug effectiveness were measured at several time points during follow-up. Relevant pharmacokinetic covariates, including CYP2D6, CYP3A4, CYP3A5 and P-glycoprotein (ABCB1) genotypes, were determined. Nonlinear mixed-effects modelling (NONMEM®) was used for a population pharmacokinetic analysis with 92 aripiprazole and 91 dehydro-aripiprazole concentrations. Subsequently, model-based trough concentrations, maximum concentrations and 24-h area under the curves (AUCs) were analysed to predict outcomes using generalized and linear mixed-effects models. RESULTS For both aripiprazole and dehydro-aripiprazole, one-compartment models best described the measured concentrations, with albumin and BMI as significant covariates. Of all the pharmacokinetic parameters, higher sum (aripiprazole plus dehydro-aripiprazole) trough concentrations best predicted higher BMI z-scores (P < .001) and higher Hb1Ac levels (P = .03) during follow-up. No significant association was found between sum concentrations and effectiveness. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate a threshold with regard to safety, which suggests that therapeutic drug monitoring of aripiprazole could potentially increase safety in children and adolescents with ASD and behavioural problems.

Abstract
Clozapine is a frequently used antipsychotic that, in case of overdose, can cause severe adverse side effects, such as hematological, cardiovascular, and neurological complications. As there is no specific antidote or reversal agent available, extracorporeal techniques such as CytoSorb hemoadsorption might represent a viable option, having already been used in a variety of intoxication scenarios with favorable rates of success. A 56-year-old male was admitted with generalized epileptic seizures and arrhythmias following ingestion of clozapine in a suicide attempt (5,000 mg). Subsequently, conventional supportive care was initiated. To accelerate drug removal, continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration including the application of CytoSorb hemoadsorption therapy was started. Serial measurements confirmed rapid reduction of clozapine plasma levels. The patient remained hemodynamically stable throughout this period. Furthermore, there were no cardiac arrhythmias detected and liver values were normal. The patient improved and was successfully extubated 3 days after admission with good vigilance and no residual neurological abnormalities. This is the first clinical case report on the use of CytoSorb hemoadsorption in severe clozapine intoxication which helped quickly and efficiently reduce clozapine levels to nontoxic serum levels while preserving organ function. Therefore, CytoSorb might represent an alternative treatment modality to be considered for potentially lethal clozapine intoxications.

Understanding inter-individual variability in pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of aripiprazole in children with tic disorders: Individualized administration based on physiological development and CYP2D6 genotypes. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:1048498. [PMID: 36532742 PMCID: PMC9755210 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.1048498] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 09/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective: This study aims to develop a combined population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model for aripiprazole (ARI) and its main active metabolite dehydroaripiprazole (DARI) in pediatric patients with tic disorders (TD), to investigate the inter-individual variability caused by physiological and genetic factors in pharmacokinetics of ARI and optimize the dosing regimens for pediatric patients. Methods: A prospective PPK research was performed in Chinese children with TD. Totally 84 patients aged 4.83-17.33 years were obtained for the pharmacokinetic analysis. 27 CYP2D6 and ABCB1 gene alleles were detected. Moreover, the clinical efficacy was evaluated according to reduction rate of Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) score at the 12th week comparing with the baseline. Monte Carlo simulations were used to evaluate and optimize dosing regimens. Results: The PPK model was established to predict the concentrations of ARI and DARI. Body weight and CYP2D6 genotype were the significant covariates affecting the clearance of ARI. The DARI/ARI metabolic ratios (MRs) of AUC24h, Cmin and Cmax at the steady state of results were ultra-rapid metabolizers (UMs) > normal metabolizers (NMs) > intermediated metabolizers (IMs). MRs could be used to distinguish UMs or IMs from other patients. The best predictor of clinical efficacy for TD was the trough concentration of ARI and the cut-off point was 101.636 ng/ml. Conclusion: The pharmacokinetics of ARI and DARI in pediatric TD were significantly influenced by body weight and CYP2D6 genotype. Individualized dosing regimens were recommended for pediatric patients with TD to ensure clinical efficacy.

Abstract
Antipsychotic polypharmacy in psychotic disorders is widespread despite international guidelines favoring monotherapy. Previous evidence indicates the utility of low-dose partial dopamine agonist (PDAs) add-ons to mitigate antipsychotic-induced metabolic adverse effects or hyperprolactinemia. However, clinicians are often concerned about using PDAs combined with high-potency, full dopaminergic antagonists (FDAs) due to the risk of psychosis relapse. We, therefore, conducted a literature review to find studies investigating the effects of combined treatment with PDAs (i.e. aripiprazole, cariprazine and brexpiprazole) and FDAs having a strong D 2 receptor binding affinity. Twenty studies examining the combination aripiprazole - high-potency FDAs were included, while no study was available on combinations with cariprazine or brexpiprazole. Studies reporting clinical improvement suggested that this may require a relatively long time (~11 weeks), while studies that found symptom worsening observed this happening in a shorter timeframe (~3 weeks). Patients with longer illness duration who received add-on aripiprazole on ongoing FDA monotherapy may be at greater risk for symptomatologic worsening. Especially in these cases, close clinical monitoring is therefore recommended during the first few weeks of combined treatment. These indications may be beneficial to psychiatrists who consider using this treatment strategy. Well-powered randomized clinical trials are needed to derive more solid clinical recommendations.

Abstract
Aripiprazole, an atypical antipsychotic, is a metabolic substrate for cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A4 and 2D6. Terbinafine, an antifungal agent used for onychomycosis, is a CYP2D6 inhibitor and could theoretically reduce the metabolism of aripiprazole. However, there are no published reports describing this interaction. We present 2 female patients hospitalized in a psychiatric unit who were both taking aripiprazole 15 mg daily and terbinafine 250 mg daily prior to admission. The first patient was a 58-year-old female who was prescribed aripiprazole and terbinafine concomitantly for approximately 5 months prior to admission. A commercial pharmacogenetic testing platform classified this patient as a normal metabolizer for CYP3A4 and 2D6. The first patient's serum trough aripiprazole concentration at steady-state concentration (Css) was 207.5 ng/mL. The second patient was a 43-year-old female who was taking aripiprazole and terbinafine concomitantly for approximately 2 weeks prior to admission who had a Css aripiprazole concentration of 278.9 ng/mL. Aripiprazole has a wide therapeutic range (100 to 350 ng/mL) and a reference dose-related drug concentration of 11.7 (mean) ± 5.6 (SD) ng/mL/mg/d. Our patients had Css aripiprazole concentrations 18% and 59% higher than guideline-supported dose-related drug concentrations. Through the use of therapeutic drug monitoring, pharmacogenetic data, electronic pharmaceutical claims data, and the Drug Interaction Probability Scale, we suggest terbinafine possibly increases aripiprazole concentrations 18% to 59%. Further reports are needed to confirm these findings prior to using this information in clinical practice.

Abstract
Background Schizophrenia is characterized by a high disease burden. Olanzapine is a common drug used in antipsychotic medication. Little is known about the population pharmacokinetics of olanzapine in elderly patients. Missed doses are a common and unavoidable issue during the treatment of psychiatric diseases, especially in elderly patients. This study aimed to identify what an elderly person should do if doses are inadvertently missed. Methods Data were collected from 140 elderly psychiatric patients (aged ≥65 years) who received olanzapine therapy. Olanzapine concentrations were determined by high pressure liquid chromatographic tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) and a population-based approach was used to quantify the characteristics of elderly patients. A non-linear mixed-effects model was used for data analysis. Simulations based on the final model were applied to predict situations involving a single missed dose or three consecutive missed doses under several remedial regimens. Results A total of 474 samples from 140 elderly patients were included in the therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) data analysis. A one-compartment model, with no significant covariates, was developed to describe the population pharmacokinetics of olanzapine in elderly patients. The population predicted systematic clearance (CL/F) and volumes of distribution (V/F) were 18 L/h and 785 L, respectively. The simulation demonstrated that in a missed dose situation, elderly patients should take the regular dose immediately; the refill dose used at the second remedial time point depends on the length of the time delay. Conclusion Here, we used a simulation to provide a remedial regimen for missed doses of olanzapine in the elderly population. Our simulation can provide valuable suggestions for individualized therapy in elderly patients.

Abstract
Both inflammation and smoking can influence a drug’s pharmacokinetic properties, i.e., its liberation, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination. Depending on, e.g., pharmacogenetics, these changes may alter treatment response or cause serious adverse drug reactions and are thus of clinical relevance. Antipsychotic drugs, used in the treatment of psychosis and schizophrenia, should be closely monitored due to multiple factors (e.g., the narrow therapeutic window of certain psychotropic drugs, the chronicity of most mental illnesses, and the common occurrence of polypharmacotherapy in psychiatry). Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) aids with drug titration by enabling the quantification of patients’ drug levels. Recommendations on the use of TDM during treatment with psychotropic drugs are presented in the Consensus Guidelines for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring in Neuropsychopharmacology; however, data on antipsychotic drug levels during inflammation or after changes in smoking behavior—both clinically relevant in psychiatry—that can aid clinical decision making are sparse. The following narrative review provides an overview of relevant literature regarding TDM in psychiatry, particularly in the context of second- and third-generation antipsychotic drugs, inflammation, and smoking behavior. It aims to spread awareness regarding TDM (most pronouncedly of clozapine and olanzapine) as a tool to optimize drug safety and provide patient-tailored treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Caffeine is a known inhibitor of Clozapine metabolism mediated by inhibition of CYP1A2. Hitherto, the effects of caffeine on Clozapine levels have always been modest, as have the clinical manifestations of toxicity resulting from their interaction. We present a case of severe toxicity associated with the co-consumption of caffeine and Clozapine culminating in life-threatening complications requiring management in Intensive Care. CASE PRESENTATION A 34 year old male with a history of chronic schizophrenia, who had been managed stably on 400 mg Clozapine for the previous 5 years, changed his dietary behaviour and began consuming caffeine-containing energy drinks over the course of 3 weeks. The total daily dose of caffeine was estimated as 600 mg/day (four cans of Red Bull). He subsequently presented to the Emergency Department with life-threatening Clozapine toxicity, resulting in a decreased level of consciousness, severe metabolic acidosis, acute respiratory failure, raised inflammatory markers and acute renal failure attributed to interstitial nephritis. Maximum recorded Clozapine level was 1796 ng/ml. CONCLUSIONS This case describes the interaction between a common caffeine-containing beverage and a commonly prescribed antipsychotic medication, associated with severe adverse effects. We call for clinical and scientific attention to the possible interaction between these substances and draw attention to the implications for prescribing practices and patient counselling.

Abstract
Clozapine has been used as a treatment of schizophrenia. Despite its large interindividual variability, few reports addressed the physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation (PBPK M&S) of clozapine in patients. This study aimed to develop a PBPK M&S of clozapine in Korean patients with schizophrenia. PBPK modeling for clozapine was constructed using a population-based PBPK platform, the SimCYP® Simulator (V19; Certara, Sheffield, UK). The PBPK model was developed by optimizing the physiological parameters of the built-in population and compound libraries in the SimCYP® Simulator. The model verification was performed with the predicted/observed ratio for pharmacokinetic parameters and visual predictive checks (VPCs) plot. Simulations were performed to predict toxicities according to dosing regimens. From published data, 230 virtual trials were simulated for each dosing regimen. The predicted/observed ratio for the area under the curve and peak plasma concentration was calculated to be from 0.78 to 1.34. The observation profiles were within the 5th and 95th percentile range with no serious model misspecification through the VPC plot. A significant impact on age and gender was found for clozapine clearance. The simulation results suggested that 150 mg twice a day and 150 mg three times a day of clozapine have toxicity concerns. In conclusion, a PBPK model was developed and reasonable parameters were made from the data of Korean patients with schizophrenia. The provided model might be used to predict the pharmacokinetics of clozapine and assist dose adjustment in clinical settings.

Abstract
Due to frequent clinical trial failures and consequently fewer new drug approvals, the need for improvement in drug development has, to a certain extent, been met using model-based drug development. Pharmacometrics is a part of pharmacology that quantifies drug behaviour, treatment response and disease progression based on different models (pharmacokinetic - PK, pharmacodynamic - PD, PK/PD models, etc.) and simulations. Regulatory bodies (European Medicines Agency, Food and Drug Administration) encourage the use of modelling and simulations to facilitate decision-making throughout all drug development phases. Moreover, the identification of factors that contribute to variability provides a basis for dose individualisation in routine clinical practice. This review summarises current knowledge regarding the application of pharmacometrics in drug development and clinical practice with emphasis on the population modelling approach.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Olanzapine has become a major drug in the management of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting as a prophylactic agent. In addition, a recent randomized trial has demonstrated its benefits in treating nausea and vomiting associated with advanced cancer. The added benefit to olanzapine is that it also stimulates appetite. As a result, since it treats multiple symptoms associated with advanced cancer, it is likely to become the antiemetic of choice in palliative care at least in the USA. The added benefit of treating insomnia and the avoidance of benzodiazepines should place olanzapine in at the top of the list of drugs to use for patients who do complain of insomnia. There is no good evidence that it potentiates the respiratory depression of opioids unlike benzodiazepines. The evidence is weak that olanzapine in as an adjuvant analgesic. Hopefully, future trials will explore this in greater depth. The benefits of adding olanzapine to potent opioids are that it may reduce craving, drug cues, and opioid misuse. Other symptoms like anxiety and depression may be addressed by the addition of olanzapine to standard antidepressants.

Do Indian patients with schizophrenia need half the recommended clozapine dose to achieve therapeutic serum level? An exploratory study. Schizophr Res 2020; 222:195-201. [PMID: 32518001 DOI: 10.1016/j.schres.2020.05.057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2020] [Revised: 05/18/2020] [Accepted: 05/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Inter-racial differences in serum clozapine have received less scientific importance, as there are fewer studies on therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) from Asia. We measured the serum clozapine levels in 142 patients with schizophrenia and related disorders at a tertiary care psychiatric institute in India. The clozapine concentration per milligram (mg) of oral clozapine dose (C/D ratio) was calculated, and the C/D ratio was used to estimate oral clozapine dose needed to achieve therapeutic serum clozapine level (350 ng/ml). This study examined Indian patients only and compared the results with weighted mean serum clozapine and its correlates in Caucasian population, based on published scientific literature. The median C/D ratio in our sample was 2.5 (n = 142), and the clozapine dose needed to achieve therapeutic serum clozapine level was 140 mg/d. The median C/D ratio of our subjects was nearly two and a half times higher than the weighted mean C/D ratio of Caucasians (2.5 v/s 1.07) reported elsewhere. After excluding the significant pharmacokinetic interactions and stratifying according to gender and smoking status, the estimated clozapine dose to achieve therapeutic serum level in male smokers (n = 9) and female non-smokers (n = 38) were 238 mg/d (C/D ratio; 1.47) and 120 mg/d (C/D ratio:2.93) respectively. On comparing, male smokers (600 mg/d versus 238 mg/d) and female non-smokers (300 mg/d versus 120 mg/d) in our study needed about 40% of the recommended clozapine dose for Caucasians to achieve therapeutic serum clozapine level. The pharmacogenetic correlates of lesser clozapine dose requirement in the Indian population require further research.
