An Open Label, Phase 1, Randomized, Seven-treatment, Seven-period, Crossover Study to Assess the Relative Bioavailability, pH Effect, Food Effect, and Dose Proportionality of CC-292, a Potent and Orally Available Bruton ’s Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor
ConclusionsCC-292 was well tolerated when administered to healthy subjects as single oral doses under all conditions. Food intake had no clinically relevant impact on CC-292 pharmacokinetics compared to fasted conditions. Therefore, CC-292 can be administered with or without food. Co-administration of CC-292 with multiple doses of omeprazole (40 mg) decreased the pharmacokinetic  exposure of CC-292. However, the effect was not clinically relevant.Clinical Trials RegistrationNCT02433457 (Source: European Journal of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics)

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring and Prolonged Infusions of Ceftolozane/Tazobactam for MDR/XDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infections: An Observational Study
ConclusionsThe administration of C/T by prolonged infusion with TDM-guided dosing allowed the achievement of a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic target even at lower doses. C/T showed a high efficacy for treating MDR/XDRP. aeruginosa infections. (Source: European Journal of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics)

Results From Phase I Studies Investigating the Dose Linearity of Finerenone Tablets and the Influence of Food or pH-Modifying Comedications on its Pharmacokinetics in Healthy Male Volunteers
ConclusionsThe pharmacokinetics of the finerenone film-coated tablet were linear. High-fat, high-calorie food had no clinically relevant effect on the pharmacokinetics of finerenone. In addition, pH-modifying comedications were not found to alter the pharmacokinetics of finerenone and were deemed safe for co-administration.

Systematic Review and Pharmacokinetic Meta-analysis of Doxorubicin Exposure in Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization  and Doxorubicin-Eluted Beads Chemoembolization for Treatment of Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma
ConclusionThis meta-analysis provides exposure parameters of doxorubicin and justifies the advantage of DEB-TACE over TACE in terms of safety for patients with unresectable HCC. This study showed a marked association between the size of microsphere and exposure parameters of doxorubicin supporting the preference for small microspheres in DEB-TACE. The moderate and low quality of evidence is assigned to theCmax and AUC, respectively. (Source: European Journal of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics)

A Mechanistic Absorption and Disposition Model of Ritonavir to Predict Exposure and Drug –Drug Interaction Potential of CYP3A4/5 and CYP2D6 Substrates
ConclusionsThe current model, which incorporates formulation characteristics and mechanistic disposition parameters, can be used to assess the DDI potential of CYP3A4/5 and CYP2D6 substrates administered with a twice-daily dose of 100  mg of ritonavir for 14 days.

Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Properties of Indole-3-carbinol in Experimental Focal Ischemic Injury
ConclusionsI3C pharmacokinetic parameters were similar in sham and MCAO rats, but I3C and DIM penetration in the brain and CSF was significantly higher in MCAO rats than in sham animals, and I3C oral intake significantly reduced MCAO-induced neurological impairments. Consequently, compared to intravenous treatment, I3C oral delivery is more effective in treating ischemic stroke.Graphical abstract (Source: European Journal of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics)

A Population Pharmacokinetic Model of Whole-Blood and Intracellular Tacrolimus in Kidney Transplant Recipients
ConclusionWe were able to accurately describe intracellular tacrolimus concentrations using whole-blood concentrations, lean body weight, and haematocrit values in a popPK model. This model may be used in the future to more accurately predict clinical outcomes after transplantation and to identify patients at risk for under- and overexposure.Dutch National Trial Registry number NTR2226 (Source: European Journal of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics)

Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetic Study of 101BHG-D01 Nasal Spray, a Novel Long-Acting and Selective Cholinergic M Receptor Antagonist, in Healthy Chinese Volunteers: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Single-Dose Escalation, First-In-Human Study
Conclusions101BHG-D01 nasal spray was safe and well tolerated in healthy Chinese subjects when administered intranasally in single escalating doses. The meanCmax and AUC increased proportionally to the studied dose. The pharmacokinetic, safety, and tolerability profiles of 101BHG-D01 nasal spray indicate that it is a good candidate for further development as a treatment for rhinorrhea in rhinitis.
