Conducting PK studies in pregnant women is challenging. Therefore, we asked if a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model could be used to predict the disposition of drugs cleared by multiple CYP enzymes.We expanded and verified our previously published pregnancy PBPK incorporating hepatic CYP2B6 induction (based on vitro data), CYP2C9 phenytoin PK) CYP2C19 suppression proguanil PK), into model. This accounted for gestational age-dependent changes maternal physiology CYP3A, CYP1A2...

Conducting pharmacokinetic (PK) studies in pregnant women is challenging. Therefore, we asked if a physiologically based (PBPK) model could be used to evaluate different dosing regimens for women. We refined and verified our previously published pregnancy PBPK by incorporating cytochrome P450 CYP1A2 suppression (based on caffeine PK) CYP2D6 induction metoprolol into the model. This accounts gestational age–dependent changes maternal physiology hepatic CYP3A activity. For verification,...

High-dose ketoconazole (400 mg q.d. for ≥5 days) has been the gold-standard strong cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) inhibitor in drug development drug–drug interaction (DDI) studies. In 2013, US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) European Medicines Agency (EMA) advised against using this regimen following review of clinical safety reports. We systematically evaluated 19 CYP3A inhibitors from regulatory guidances a literature database to identify itraconazole (200 b.i.d. on day 1, days 2–6)...

Abstract Physiologically‐based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling is being increasingly used in drug development to avoid unnecessary clinical drug–drug interaction (DDI) studies and inform labels. Thus, regulatory agencies are recommending, or indeed requesting, more rigorous demonstration of the prediction accuracy PBPK platforms area their intended use. We describe a framework for qualification Simcyp Simulator with respect competitive mechanism‐based inhibition (MBI) CYP1A2, CYP2D6, CYP2C8,...
