Doses 10 20 mg once daily titrated based on (serum) potassium estimated glomerular filtration rate. The MRA mode action increases...
Previously, a systems pharmacology model was developed characterizing drug effects on the interrelationship between mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac output (CO) and total peripheral resistance (TPR). The present investigation aims to (i) extend previously by parsing CO into heart rate (HR) stroke volume (SV) (ii) evaluate if mechanism of action (MoA) new compounds can be elucidated using only HR MAP measurements.
Finerenone (BAY 94-8862) is a potent non-steroidal, selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist being developed for the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. We present population pharmacokinetics pharmacodynamics (PD) analysis efficacy safety markers based on data from two clinical phase IIb studies: ARTS-DN (NCT01874431) Japan (NCT01968668). The finerenone were adequately characterized, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) body weight as...
Abstract Aims To perform dose–exposure–response analyses to determine the effects of finerenone doses. Materials and Methods Two randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled phase 3 trials enrolling 13 026 randomized participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D) from global sites, each an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 25 90 mL/min/1.73 m , a urine albumin‐creatinine ratio (UACR) 30 5000 mg/g, serum potassium ≤ 4.8 mmol/L were included. Interventions titrated doses 10 or 20 mg versus...
The homeostatic control of arterial BP is well understood with changes in resulting from cardiac output (CO) and/or total peripheral resistance (TPR). A mechanism-based and quantitative analysis drug effects on this interrelationship could provide a basis for the prediction BP. Hence, we aimed to develop pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PKPD) model rats that be used characterize cardiovascular drugs different mechanisms action (MoA) between BP, CO TPR.The six diverse MoA, (amlodipine,...
Finerenone reduces the risk of kidney failure in patients with chronic disease and type 2 diabetes. Changes urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) are surrogates for failure. We performed dose–exposure–response analyses to determine effects finerenone on these presence absence sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) using individual patient data from FIDELIO-DKD study. Non-linear mixed-effects population...
In pharmacometric modeling, it is often important to know whether the data sufficiently rich identify parameters of a proposed model. While may be possible assess this based on results model fit, difficult disentangle identifiability issues from other fitting and numerical problems. Furthermore, can value ascertain beforehand. This paper compares four methods for parameter identifiability, namely Differential Algebra Identifiability SYstems (DAISY), sensitivity matrix method (SMM), Aliasing,...
Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) modeling benefits from the inclusion of covariates to enhance predictive capabilities and explain variability. This study uses simulations illustrate overadjustment bias in PK/PD when incorporating time-varying or postbaseline that are affected by treatment demonstrates use mediation analysis estimate percentage drug effect explained intermediate (time-varying covariate). Overadjustment is a term used epidemiology refer situation where introduced...
Finerenone is a nonsteroidal selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist that recently demonstrated efficacy in delaying chronic kidney disease progression and reducing cardiovascular events patients with type 2 diabetes FIDELIO-DKD, where 5734 were randomized 1:1 to receive either titrated finerenone doses of 10 or 20 mg once daily placebo, median follow-up 2.6 years. Nonlinear mixed-effects population pharmacokinetic models used analyze the pharmacokinetics sparsely sampled all...

Reboxetine is a clinically used antidepressant and racemic mixture of two enantiomers, SS- RR-reboxetine. The aim the work described in this manuscript was to determine kinetics binding RR- SS-reboxetine human noradrenaline transporter (hNET).
A complicating factor in the translational pharmacology of sphingosine 1-phosphate agonists is that they exert their pharmacological effect through respective phosphate metabolites, which are formed by enzyme kinase (S1PHK). In this investigation, we present a semimechanistic pharmacokinetic model for interconversion S1PHK substrates and phosphates rats humans with aim investigating whether characterization rate phosphorylation blood platelets constitutes basis interspecies scaling using...
