Demonstrating Bioequivalence for Two Dose Strengths of Niraparib and Abiraterone Acetate Dual-Action Tablets Versus Single Agents: Utility of Clinical Study Data Supplemented with Modeling and Simulation.

Background And Objective: The combination of niraparib and abiraterone acetate (AA) plus prednisone is under investigation for the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). Regular-strength (RS) and lower-strength (LS) dual-action tablets (DATs), comprising niraparib 100 mg/AA 500 mg and niraparib 50 mg/AA 500 mg, respectively, were developed to reduce pill burden and improve patient experience. A bioequivalence (BE)/bioavailability (BA) study was conducted under modified fasting conditions in patients with mCRPC to support approval of the DATs.

Clinical Pharmacokinetics of Ponesimod, a Selective S1P1 Receptor Modulator, in the Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis.

Ponesimod, a selective, rapidly reversible, and orally active, sphingosine-1 phosphate receptor (S1P) modulator, is indicated for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). The clinical pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of ponesimod was studied in 16 phase I, one phase II, and one phase III clinical studies. Ponesimod population PK was characterized by an open two-compartment disposition model with a terminal half-life of 33 h (accumulation factor of 2- to 2.

Quantifying Antibody Persistence After a Single Dose of COVID-19 Vaccine Ad26.COV2.S in Humans Using a Mechanistic Modeling and Simulation Approach.

Understanding persistence of humoral immune responses elicited by vaccination against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is critical for informing the duration of protection and appropriate booster timing. We developed a mechanistic model to characterize the time course of humoral immune responses in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)-seronegative adults after primary vaccination with the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine, Ad26.COV2.

Efficacy and safety exposure-response relationships of apalutamide in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer: results from the phase 3 TITAN study.

Purpose: Apalutamide plus androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) has been approved for treatment of patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) based on data from phase 3 TITAN study. This analysis was conducted to describe pharmacokinetics of apalutamide and N-desmethyl-apalutamide and explore relationships between apalutamide exposure and selected clinical efficacy and safety observations.

Methods: 1052 patients were randomized to apalutamide + ADT (n = 525) or placebo + ADT (n = 527).
