A Phase 1 Randomized Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Single Escalating Oral Doses of Dordaviprone and the Effects of Food on the Bioavailability of Dordaviprone in Healthy Adult Subjects.

Dordaviprone (ONC201) is a novel, small molecule imipridone with antitumor effects in glioma patients. This study evaluated the pharmacokinetics and safety of dordaviprone following single escalating doses (Part A), as a capsule content mixed with applesauce or Gatorade (sports drink) [Part B1]), and with or without food [Part B2]. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events pooled across study parts (Parts A, B1, and B2) were headache, dizziness, and headache, respectively; all were mild.

Relative Bioavailability of Dordaviprone (ONC201) is Not Affected by Co-Administration of the Proton-Pump Inhibitor Rabeprazole.

Dordaviprone (ONC201) is a novel, orally administered, anti-cancer, small molecule imipridone with demonstrated antitumor effects in patients with glioma. Dordaviprone in vitro solubility is significantly reduced at pH >4.5.

A simplified approach to predict CYP3A-mediated drug-drug interactions at early drug discovery: validation with clinical data.

1. The present study evaluates which factors should be incorporated into a simplified approach to reasonably predict CYP3A-mediated drug-drug interaction (DDI) at an early drug discovery stage. 2.

The liver partition coefficient-corrected inhibitory quotient and the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationship of directly acting anti-hepatitis C virus agents in humans.

Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) data analyses from early hepatitis C virus (HCV) clinical trials failed to show a good correlation between the plasma inhibitory quotient (IQ) and antiviral activity of different classes of directly acting antiviral agents (DAAs). The present study explored whether use of the liver partition coefficient-corrected IQ (LCIQ) could improve the PK-PD relationship. Animal liver partition coefficients (Kp(liver)) were calculated from liver to plasma exposure ratios.

Animal models of acute moderate hypoxia are associated with a down-regulation of CYP1A1, 1A2, 2B4, 2C5, and 2C16 and up-regulation of CYP3A6 and P-glycoprotein in liver.

In humans, indirect evidence suggests that hypoxia reduces the rate of biotransformation of drugs cleared by cytochrome P450 (P450) subfamilies CYP1A, 2B, and 2C. The aim of this study was to assess whether acute moderate hypoxia modulates the expression of CYP2B4, 2C5, and 2C16 in vivo, and to determine whether the changes in hepatic P450 are conveyed by serum mediators. Moreover, because hypoxia increases the expression of P-glycoprotein in vitro, we examined whether in vivo acute moderate hypoxia modulates the expression of several membrane transporters in the liver.
