Aims: To evaluate pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety after coadministration of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir or ritonavir alone with midazolam (a cytochrome P450 3A4 substrate) and dabigatran (a P-glycoprotein substrate).

Methods: PK was studied in 2 phase 1, open-label, fixed-sequence studies in healthy adults. Single oral doses of midazolam 2 mg (n = 12) or dabigatran 75 mg (n = 24) were administered alone and after steady state (i.

Studies on targeted antivirals for treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the cause of the ongoing pandemic, are limited. PF-07304814 (lufotrelvir) is the phosphate prodrug of PF-00835231, a protease inhibitor targeting the 3C-like protease of SARS-CoV-2. This phase 1 study evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of single ascending intravenous doses of lufotrelvir (continuous 24-hour infusion of 50, 150, 500, or 700 mg) versus placebo in healthy volunteers (2 interleaving cohorts: 1, n = 8; 2, n = 7).

Background And Objective: Dacomitinib is a kinase inhibitor indicated for the first-line treatment of patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-activating mutations. To evaluate the effect of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of dacomitinib, two dedicated studies were conducted to inform optimal dosing.

Methods: Study 1 (NCT01571388) evaluated the effect of mild and moderate hepatic impairment on the plasma pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability after a single oral dose of dacomitinib 30 mg, and Study 2 (NCT03865446) evaluated the same endpoints in a severe hepatic impairment population.

Article Synopsis
  • A phase I open-label trial evaluated the pharmacokinetics and safety of glasdegib in participants with moderate to severe hepatic impairment compared to healthy controls.
  • 24 participants were divided into groups, receiving a single oral dose of 100 mg of glasdegib, and the study looked at plasma concentration measures over time.
  • Results indicated that moderate hepatic impairment did not significantly affect glasdegib levels, while severe impairment led to lower plasma exposure, but no adverse events were reported, suggesting no need for dose adjustments based on liver function.*

The pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of bococizumab, a proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitor, were compared following a single 150-mg subcutaneous dose administered to healthy subjects (n = 156-158/arm) via: (1) a prefilled syringe (PFS) using drug substance (DS) manufactured by Pfizer, (2) a PFS using DS manufactured by Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma, (3) a prefilled pen using DS manufactured by Pfizer (NCT02458209). Blood samples were collected for 12 weeks postdose. Safety was monitored throughout.

Aim: To characterize the single-dose pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of bococizumab, a monoclonal antibody inhibiting proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), administered subcutaneously (s.c.) to the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm (NCT02043301).

What Is Known And Objective: ALO-02 is being developed as an abuse-deterrent formulation of extended-release oxycodone hydrochloride with naltrexone hydrochloride sequestered in the core of pellets contained in capsules. The primary objective of this study was to assess the effects of administration of ALO-02 capsule whole under fed conditions or sprinkling the pellets from ALO-02 capsule on applesauce under fasting conditions on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of oxycodone, naltrexone and 6-ß-naltrexol compared with ALO-02 capsule administered whole under fasting conditions. The plasma naltrexone and 6-ß-naltrexol concentrations were used to assess the sequestration of naltrexone in the ALO-02 formulation.

Background And Objectives: ALO-02 capsules, intended to deter abuse, contain pellets of extended-release oxycodone hydrochloride (HCl), an opioid agonist, surrounding sequestered naltrexone HCl, an opioid antagonist. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of administration of ALO-02 with 20 or 40 % ethanol on the pharmacokinetics of oxycodone.

Methods: This was an open-label, single-dose, randomized, three-way crossover study in 18 healthy fasting adults administered ALO-02 20/2.

We evaluated the effect of tigecycline (50-mg and 200-mg doses) on corrected QT (QTc) intervals and assessed safety and tolerability in a randomized, placebo-controlled, four-period crossover study of 48 (44 male) healthy volunteers aged 22 to 53 years. Fed subjects received tigecycline (50 mg or 200 mg) or placebo in a blinded fashion or an open-label oral dose of moxifloxacin (400 mg) after 1 liter of intravenous fluid. Serial electrocardiograms were recorded before, and for 96 h after, dosing.
