Abstract
Cinitapride is a gastrointestinal prokinetic drug, prescribed for the treatment of functional dyspepsia, and as an adjuvant therapy for gastroesophageal reflux disease. In this study, we aimed to explore the impact of relevant variants in CYP3A4 and CYP2C8 and other pharmacogenes, along with demographic characteristics, on cinitapride pharmacokinetics and safety; and to evaluate the impact of CYP2C8 alleles on the enzyme's function. Twenty-five healthy volunteers participating in a bioequivalence clinical trial consented to participate in the study. Participants were genotyped for 56 variants in 19 genes, including cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes (e.g., CYP2C8 or CYP3A4) or transporters (e.g., SLC or ABC), among others. CYP2C8*3 carriers showed a reduction in AUC of 42% and Cmax of 35% compared to *1/*1 subjects (p = 0.003 and p = 0.011, respectively). *4 allele carriers showed a 45% increase in AUC and 63% in Cmax compared to *1/*1 subjects, although these differences did not reach statistical significance. CYP2C8*3 and *4 alleles may be used to infer the following pharmacogenetic phenotypes: ultrarapid (UM) (*3/*3), rapid (RM) (*1/*3), normal (NM) (*1/*1), intermediate (IM) (*1/*4), and poor (PM) metabolizers (*4/*4). In this study, we properly characterized RMs, NMs, and IMs; however, additional studies are required to properly characterize UMs and PMs. These findings should be relevant with respect to cinitapride, but also to numerous CYP2C8 substrates such as imatinib, loperamide, montelukast, ibuprofen, paclitaxel, pioglitazone, repaglinide, or rosiglitazone.

Abstract
Drug repurposing is a strategy consisting of finding new indications for already known marketed drugs used in various clinical settings or highly characterized compounds despite they can be failed drugs. Recently, it emerges as an alternative approach for the rapid identification and development of new pharmaceuticals for various rare and complex diseases for which lack the effective drug treatments. The success rate of drugs repurposing approach accounts for approximately 30% of new FDA approved drugs and vaccines in recent years. This review focuses on the status of drugs repurposing approach for various diseases including skin diseases, infective, inflammatory, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. Efforts have been made to provide structural features and mode of actions of drugs.

Abstract
Introduction: Functional Dyspepsia (FD), defined as chronic symptoms originating from the gastroduodenal region in absence of readily identifiable organic disease, is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders. FD is divided into two subgroups: Post-Prandial Distress Syndrome (PDS) or meal-related FD, characterized by postprandial fullness and early satiation, and Epigastric Pain Syndrome (EPS) or meal-unrelated FD, characterized by epigastric pain and burning.Areas covered: This review summarizes the existing and off-label therapeutic options for FD.Expert opinion: The identification of mechanisms, the Rome IV classification, the reduction of PDS/EPS overlap and pictograms for symptom identification allow a better diagnosis and a more targeted treatment choice. Acotiamide, a first-in-class prokinetic agent available only in Japan and India, is the only agent of proven efficacy for FD, but clinicians use acid-suppressive therapy, prokinetics, neuromodulators and herbal therapies for treating FD symptoms. New emerging targets are duodenal low-grade inflammation with eosinophils and duodenal or other modified luminal microbiota.

Naidoo P, Chetty M. Progress in the Consideration of Possible Sex Differences in Drug Interaction Studies. Curr Drug Metab 2019; 20:114-123. [DOI: 10.2174/1389200220666181128160813] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2018] [Revised: 10/24/2018] [Accepted: 10/30/2018] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Background:
Anecdotal evidence suggests that there may be sex differences in Drug-drug Interactions
(DDI) involving specific drugs. Regulators have provided general guidance for the inclusion of females in clinical
studies. Some clinical studies have reported sex differences in the Pharmacokinetics (PK) of CYP3A4 substrates,
suggesting that DDI involving CYP3A4 substrates could potentially show sex differences.
Objective:
The aim of this review was to investigate whether recent prospective DDI studies have included both
sexes and whether there was evidence for the presence or absence of sex differences with the DDIs.
Methods:
The relevant details from 156 drug interaction studies within 124 papers were extracted and evaluated.
Results:
Only eight studies (five papers) compared the outcome of the DDI between males and females. The majority
of the studies had only male volunteers. Five studies had females only while 60 had males only, with 7.7% of the
studies having an equal proportion of both sexes. Surprisingly, four studies did not specify the sex of the subjects.
:
Based on the limited number of studies comparing males and females, no specific trends or conclusions were evident.
Sex differences in the interaction were reported between ketoconazole and midazolam as well as clarithromycin and
midazolam. However, no sex difference was observed with the interaction between clarithromycin and triazolam or
erythromycin and triazolam. No sex-related PK differences were observed with the interaction between ketoconazole
and domperidone, although sex-related differences in QT prolongation were observed.
Conclusion:
This review has shown that only limited progress had been made with the inclusion of both sexes in
DDI studies.

Abstract
Cinitapride (CIN) is a drug for functional dyspepsia. The purpose of the study was to investigate the pharmacokinetics and tolerability of CIN in healthy Chinese volunteers. A randomized, open-label, single- and multiple-dose study was conducted in 12 healthy volunteers. Three different doses of CIN (1, 2, 4 tablets) were given to six groups in the single-dose study, and one tablet (1 mg) of CIN was administered three times a day in the multiple-dose study. Blood samples were collected at predetermined time intervals after CIN dosing and analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Eleven volunteers completed the study. After single dose, the Cmax and AUC of plasma increased approximately linearly with dosage; no statistically significant differences were found in pharmacokinetic parameters between three dose groups. After multiple doses, there was no significant change in Tmax and t1/2 compared with the results from the single dose. After repeated doses, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ were increased, while CLz/F slightly decreased. And no differences between male and female. The pharmacokinetic parameters of this study were consistent with study results of non-Chinese subjects. Good tolerability was demonstrated in both single- and multiple-dose studies with dosage range from 1 to 4 mg in healthy Chinese subjects.

Abstract
AIM Cinitapride (CIN) is a benzamide-derived molecule used for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux and dyspepsia. Its pharmacokinetics are controversial due to the use of supratherapeutic doses and the lack of sensitive methodology. Therefore, a sensitive and accurate micromethod was developed for its quantitation in human plasma. RESULTS CIN was extracted from 300 µl of heparinized plasma by liquid-liquid extraction using cisapride as internal standard, and analyzed with an ultra performance liquid chromatograph employing positive multiple-reaction monitoring-MS. CONCLUSION The method proved to be rapid, accurate and stable within a range between 50 and 2000 pg/ml and was successfully validated and applied in a pharmacokinetic interaction trial, where it was demonstrated that oral co-administration of simethicone does not modify the bioavailability of CIN.

Abstract
During the last 10-15 years, cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C8 has emerged as an important drug-metabolizing enzyme. CYP2C8 is highly expressed in human liver and is known to metabolize more than 100 drugs. CYP2C8 substrate drugs include amodiaquine, cerivastatin, dasabuvir, enzalutamide, imatinib, loperamide, montelukast, paclitaxel, pioglitazone, repaglinide, and rosiglitazone, and the number is increasing. Similarly, many drugs have been identified as CYP2C8 inhibitors or inducers. In vivo, already a small dose of gemfibrozil, i.e., 10% of its therapeutic dose, is a strong, irreversible inhibitor of CYP2C8. Interestingly, recent findings indicate that the acyl-β-glucuronides of gemfibrozil and clopidogrel cause metabolism-dependent inactivation of CYP2C8, leading to a strong potential for drug interactions. Also several other glucuronide metabolites interact with CYP2C8 as substrates or inhibitors, suggesting that an interplay between CYP2C8 and glucuronides is common. Lack of fully selective and safe probe substrates, inhibitors, and inducers challenges execution and interpretation of drug-drug interaction studies in humans. Apart from drug-drug interactions, some CYP2C8 genetic variants are associated with altered CYP2C8 activity and exhibit significant interethnic frequency differences. Herein, we review the current knowledge on substrates, inhibitors, inducers, and pharmacogenetics of CYP2C8, as well as its role in clinically relevant drug interactions. In addition, implications for selection of CYP2C8 marker and perpetrator drugs to investigate CYP2C8-mediated drug metabolism and interactions in preclinical and clinical studies are discussed.

Abstract
Background Proarrhythmia assessment is one of the major concerns for regulatory bodies and pharmaceutical industry. ICH guidelines recommending preclinical tests have been established in attempt to eliminate the risk of drug-induced arrhythmias. However, in the clinic, arrhythmia occurrence is determined not only by the inherent property of a drug to block ion currents and disturb electrophysiological activity of cardiac myocytes, but also by many other factors modifying individual risk of QT prolongation and subsequent proarrhythmia propensity. One of those is drug-drug interactions. Since polypharmacy is a common practice in clinical settings, it can be anticipated that there is a relatively high risk that the patient will receive at least two drugs mutually modifying their proarrhythmic potential and resulting either in triggering the occurrence or mitigating the clinical symptoms. The mechanism can be observed either directly at the pharmacodynamic level by competing for the molecular targets, or indirectly by modifying the physiological parameters, or at the pharmacokinetic level by alteration of the active concentration of the victim drug. Methods This publication provides an overview of published clinical studies on pharmacokinetic and/or pharmacodynamic drug-drug interactions in humans and their electrophysiological consequences (QT interval modification). Databases of PubMed and Scopus were searched and combinations of the following keywords were used for Title, Abstract and Keywords fields: interaction, coadministration, combination, DDI and electrocardiographic, QTc interval, ECG. Only human studies were included. Over 4500 publications were retrieved and underwent preliminary assessment to identify papers accordant with the topic of this review. 76 papers reporting results for 96 drug combinations were found and analyzed. Results The results show the tremendous variability of drug-drug interaction effects, which makes one aware of complexity of the problem, and suggests the need for assessment of an additional risk factors and careful ECG monitoring before administration of drugs with anticipated QT prolongation. Conclusions DDIs can play significant roles in drugs’ cardiac safety, as evidenced by the provided examples. Assessment of the pharmacodynamic effects of the drug interactions is more challenging as compared to the pharmacokinetic due to the significant diversity in the endpoints which should be analyzed specifically for various clinical effects. Nevertheless, PD components of DDIs should be accounted for as PK changes alone do not allow to fully explain the electrophysiological effects in clinic situations.

Abstract
PURPOSE Axitinib is a potent and selective inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors 1-3, approved for second-line treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Preclinical studies did not indicate potential for axitinib-induced delayed cardiac repolarization. METHODS The effect of axitinib on corrected QT (QTc) prolongation was evaluated with one-stage concentration-QTc response modeling using data from a definitive randomized crossover QT phase I study in healthy volunteers administered one single 5-mg axitinib dose alone or in the presence of steady-state ketoconazole (400 mg once daily). RESULTS Axitinib and ketoconazole had opposite effects on heart rate: Axitinib lowered it, ketoconazole raised it. The final analysis showed a flat relationship between QTc and axitinib concentration (slope -0.0314 ms·mL/ng) for axitinib alone. Mean highest placebo-matched change from baseline in QTc was -3.0 [90 % confidence interval (CI) -5.4, -0.6] ms. At supratherapeutic axitinib exposures achieved with potent cytochrome P450 3A4/5 inhibition by ketoconazole, the model predicted mean QTc change of 6.5 (90 % CI 4.4-8.5) ms. The slope population mean estimate was -0.331 (95 % CI -0.860, 0.198) ms·mL/µg for ketoconazole alone and 0.0725 (0.0445-0.1005) ms·mL/ng for axitinib in the presence of ketoconazole. The results were then compared with those obtained based on more widely used Fridericia's, Bazett's, and study-specific correction methods. CONCLUSIONS Since axitinib plasma concentrations observed in this study exceeded the range of concentrations observed in patients with RCC at the highest approved clinical dose (10 mg twice daily), axitinib was not associated with clinically significant QTc prolongation in target populations.

Abstract
With the adoption of the ICH E14 guidance, the thorough QT/QTc (TQT) study has become the focus of clinical assessment of an NCE's effects on ECG parameters. The TQT study is used as a guide to the liability of a drug to cause proarrhythmias on the basis of delayed cardiac repolarization. Around 300 TQT studies have been performed since 2005 and through interactions between sponsors and regulators, especially FDA's Interdisciplinary Review Team (IRT) for QT studies. These studies can today be performed more effectively and with great confidence in the generated data. This chapter will discuss technical features and the design and analysis of TQT studies, how assay sensitivity is demonstrated, and examples from recently conducted studies. ECG assessment for drugs that cannot be safely given to healthy volunteers is also addressed, and examples from studies in cancer patients and in healthy volunteers with tyrosine kinase inhibitors are discussed. The TQT study is resource intensive and designed to solely evaluate whether an NCE prolongs the QTc interval. If data with similar confidence can be generated from other studies that are routinely performed as part of the clinical development, this would represent a more optimal use of human resources. Methods and approaches to increase the confidence in ECG data derived from "early QT assessment" in single-ascending/multiple-ascending dose studies are therefore discussed, and a path toward replacing the TQT study using these approaches will be outlined.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the effects of the cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitor ketoconazole on the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics of fluticasone furoate (FF) and vilanterol trifenatate (VI). METHODS Two double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, two-way crossover studies in healthy subjects. In study 1, subjects received single doses of ketoconazole (400 mg) or placebo on days 1-6, with a single dose of inhaled VI (25 μg) on day 5. Pharmacodynamic and PK data were obtained up to 48 h following the VI dose. In study 2, subjects received once daily ketoconazole (400 mg) or placebo for 11 days, with FF/VI (200/25 μg) for the final 7 days. Pharmacodynamic and PK data were obtained up to 48 h following the day 11 dose. RESULTS In study 1, there was no effect of co-administration of ketoconazole and VI on pharmacodynamic or PK parameters. In study 2, co-administration of ketoconazole and FF/VI had no effect on 0-4 h maximal heart rate or minimal blood potassium {treatment difference [90% confidence interval (CI)] -0.6 beats min(-1) (-5.8, 4.5) and 0.04 mmol l(-1) (-0.03, 0.11), respectively}, whilst there was a 27% decrease in 24 h weighted mean serum cortisol [treatment ratio (90% CI) 0.73 (0.62, 0.86)]. Co-administration of ketoconazole increased [percentage change (90% CI)] FF area under the curve (0-24) and maximal plasma concentration by 36% (16, 59) and 33% (12, 58), respectively, and VI area under the curve (0-t') and maximal plasma concentration by 65% (38, 97) and 22% (8, 38), respectively. CONCLUSION Co-administration of FF/VI or VI with ketoconazole resulted in a less than twofold increase in systemic exposure to FF and VI. There was no increase in β-agonist systemic pharmacodynamic effects, while serum cortisol was decreased by 27%. Co-administration of FF/VI with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors has the potential to increase systemic exposure to both fluticasone furoate and vilanterol, which could lead to an increase in the potential for adverse reactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the effect of high plasma levels of lomitapide and its main metabolite on ECG parameters. METHODS In this randomized five-way cross-over thorough QT study, 56 healthy subjects were enrolled. Study treatments were administered orally for 3 days in five separate periods in which subjects were dosed with (1) a single dose of 75 mg lomitapide on Day 1 followed by a single dose of 200 mg on Day 3; (2) ketoconazole 200 mg BID; (3) ketoconazole with a single dose of 75 mg lomitapide on Day 3; (4) a single dose of 400 mg moxifloxacin on Day 3 and (5) placebo. RESULTS Single doses of 75 and 200 mg lomitapide alone or in combination with ketoconazole caused minor changes in the change-from-baseline QTcI (ΔQTcI), whereas moxifloxacin and ketoconazole caused an increase of ΔQTcI with a peak effect at 1 and 3 hours postdosing, respectively. The largest mean placebo-corrected ΔQTcI (ΔΔQTcI) for lomitapide did not exceed 3 ms (upper bound of 90% CI: 4.7 ms) at any time points postdosing. Ketoconazole caused mild QT prolongation with mean ΔΔQTcI of 5.9 and 6.5 ms at 2 and 3 hours postdosing, and exposure-response analysis demonstrated a significantly positive slope of 1.3 ms per μg/mL (90% CI: 1.0-1.7). Moxifloxacin met the criteria for assay sensitivity. CONCLUSIONS Lomitapide does not have an effect on cardiac repolarization. The study's ability to detect small QTc changes was demonstrated with both moxifloxacin and ketoconazole.

Abstract
The effect of bilastine on cardiac repolarization was studied in 30 healthy participants during a multiple-dose, triple-dummy, crossover, thorough QT study that included 5 arms: placebo, active control (400 mg moxifloxacin), bilastine at therapeutic and supratherapeutic doses (20 mg and 100 mg once daily, respectively), and bilastine 20 mg administered with ketoconazole 400 mg. Time-matched, triplicate electrocardiograms (ECGs) were recorded with 13 time points extracted predose and 16 extracted over 72 hours post day 4 dosing. Four QT/RR corrections were implemented: QTcB; QTcF; a linear individual correction (QTcNi), the primary correction; and a nonlinear one (QTcNnl). Moxifloxacin was associated with a significant increase in QTcNi at all time points between 1 and 12 hours, inclusively. Bilastine administration at 20 mg and 100 mg had no clinically significant impact on QTc (maximum increase in QTcNi, 5.02 ms; upper confidence limit [UCL] of the 1-sided, 95% confidence interval, 7.87 ms). Concomitant administration of ketoconazole and bilastine 20 mg induced a clinically relevant increase in QTc (maximum increase in QTcNi, 9.3 ms; UCL, 12.16 ms). This result was most likely related to the cardiac effect of ketoconazole because for all time points, bilastine plasma concentrations were lower than those observed following the supratherapeutic dose.
