Physiologically based pharmacokinetic modelling to predict the clinical effect of CYP3A inhibitors/inducers on esaxerenone pharmacokinetics in healthy subjects and subjects with hepatic impairment
PURPOSE: Esaxerenone is a novel, oral, nonsteroidal treatment for hypertension. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling was performed to predict the drug–drug interaction (DDI) effect of cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A modulators on esaxerenone pharmacokinetics in healthy subjects and subject...

Sumario: | PURPOSE: Esaxerenone is a novel, oral, nonsteroidal treatment for hypertension. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling was performed to predict the drug–drug interaction (DDI) effect of cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A modulators on esaxerenone pharmacokinetics in healthy subjects and subjects with hepatic impairment. METHODS: In our PBPK model, the fraction of esaxerenone metabolised by CYP3A was estimated from mass-balance data and verified and optimised by clinical DDI study results with strong CYP3A modulators. The model was also verified by the observed pharmacokinetics after multiple oral dosing and by the effect of hepatic impairment on esaxerenone pharmacokinetics. The model was applied to predict the DDI effects on esaxerenone pharmacokinetics with untested CYP3A modulators in healthy subjects and with strong CYP3A modulators in subjects with hepatic impairment. RESULTS: The PBPK model well described esaxerenone pharmacokinetics after multiple oral dosing. The predicted fold changes in esaxerenone plasma exposure after coadministration with strong CYP3A modulators were comparable with the observed data (1.53-fold with itraconazole and 0.31-fold with rifampicin). Predicted DDIs with untested moderate CYP3A modulators were less than the observed DDI with strong CYP3A modulators. The PBPK model also described the effect of hepatic impairment on esaxerenone plasma exposure. The predicted DDI results with strong CYP3A modulators in subjects with hepatic impairment indicate that, for concomitant use of CYP3A modulators, caution is advised for subjects with hepatic impairment, as is for healthy subjects. CONCLUSION: The PBPK model developed predicted esaxerenone pharmacokinetics and DDIs and informed concurrent use of esaxerenone with CYP3A modulators.
