Drug Des Devel Ther 2024; 18:1771-1784. [PMID: 38828021 PMCID: PMC11141576 DOI: 10.2147/dddt.s458927] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Several population pharmacokinetic (PPK) models of B cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) venetoclax (VEN) have been developed and published to characterize the influencing factors of pharmacokinetics in hematologic malignancies. This review described PPK models of VEN examining the magnitude and types of covariate effects in PK parameters, as well as identified areas that require further investigation in order to facilitate their use. Currently, there are six analyses on PPK models of VEN summarized in this review. Most analyses described the pharmacokinetics of VEN with a two-compartment model and all covariates are categorical. The median estimated apparent clearance (CL/F) was 446 L/Day and apparent volume of distribution of the central compartment (V2/F) was 114.5 L. The median IIV of CL/F reported was 39.5% and V2/F was 46.7%. Most commonly, CYP3A inhibitors, OATP1B3 inhibitors and rituximab co-administration were found to be significant covariates on CL/F. In addition, sex and population were influential covariates on V2/F. A detailed description of the characteristics of PPK models of VEN is provided in this review, as well as the effects of covariates on the PK parameters. For future development of the VEN PPK model, CYP3A inhibitors, rituximab co-administration, OATP1B1 transporter inhibitors, sex, population, and food might be considered. Further research and comprehensive investigations should be undertaken to explore reference ranges for therapeutic drug monitoring, define the potential role of patients with cerebrospinal fluid complications, and assess new or potential covariates. These endeavors will facilitate the development of personalized VEN therapy.

[PMID: 38778732 PMCID: PMC11112299 DOI: 10.1111/cts.13807] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Venetoclax, a highly potent BCL-2 inhibitor, is indicated for treatment of some hematologic malignancies as monotherapy, and/or in combination with other agents. Venetoclax pharmacokinetics has been extensively characterized in patients and healthy participants. After oral dosing, the median time to reach maximum plasma concentration ranged from 5 to 8 h and harmonic mean half-life ranged from 14 to 18 h. Food increases venetoclax bioavailability by 3-5-fold and venetoclax should be administered with food to ensure adequate and consistent bioavailability. Venetoclax is eliminated via cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A metabolism, and a negligible amount of unchanged drug is excreted in urine. Strong CYP3A/P-glycoprotein inhibitors increased venetoclax exposures (AUC) by 1.44- to 6.90-fold while a significant decrease (71%) has been observed when dosed with strong CYP3 inducers. Venetoclax does not inhibit or induce CYP enzymes or transporters. Venetoclax pharmacokinetics is not appreciably altered by age, weight, sex, but the exposure is up to twofold higher in participants from Asian countries. Mild-to-severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease do not alter venetoclax exposures, and venetoclax is not cleared by dialysis. Although mild-to-moderate hepatic impairment does not affect venetoclax exposures, twofold higher exposure was observed in subjects with severe hepatic impairment. Venetoclax exposure is comparable across patients with different hematologic malignancies and healthy participants. Overall, venetoclax exposure is only affected by food and CYP3A modulators and is only higher in Asian subjects and subjects with severe hepatic impairment. Venetoclax exposure-response relationships are malignancy-dependent and can be different between monotherapy and combination therapy.

Long-term survival in a patient with primary refractory AML after salvage allogeneic hematopoietic transplantation and post-transplant localized irradiation and venetoclax maintenance: a case report. Front Oncol 2023; 13:1329858. [PMID: 38162505 PMCID: PMC10756059 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1329858] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024] Open
Abstract
For patients with primary refractory AML, allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is considered the only curative approach. However, the therapeutic efficacy of salvage transplantation in the non-remission (NR) state remains controversial. We present a patient with primary refractory AML and concomitant central nervous system (CNS) leukemia, who received salvage allo-HCT, localized radiotherapy and venetoclax maintenance. Although he experienced systemic chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD), he remained disease-free for 2 years. We propose that salvage transplantation is a feasible for primary refractory AML and discuss strategies to prevent relapse after allo-HCT, including maintenance therapy and donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI). Finally, we highlight the importance of radiotherapy, which can exert immunomodulatory effects to enhance immune responses against leukemia.
