Valemetostat is an oral inhibitor of enhancer of zeste homolog (EZH) 2 and EZH1 approved in Japan for the treatment of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL). To support the approved daily dose of 200 mg and inform dose adjustments in patients with ATLL, Bayesian exposure-response analyses were conducted using data from two clinical trials. The analyses included two efficacy endpoints, overall response by central and investigator assessments in patients with ATLL (n = 38, 150-200 mg), and six safety endpoints in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (n = 102, 150-300 mg), which included grade ≥3 laboratory values for anemia, absolute neutrophil count decreased, and platelet count decreased; any grade ≥3 treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE); and dose reductions and dose interruptions due to TEAEs.

Valemetostat is an EZH2/1 inhibitor that has been approved in Japan for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, based mainly on results from a single-arm phase II trial. It is currently under investigation worldwide for the treatment of other non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs), including peripheral T-cell lymphoma, and for solid tumors. Semi-mechanistic population pharmacokinetic modeling of total and unbound valemetostat and an analysis of the platelet time course during treatment with valemetostat were conducted using data from five clinical trials (two in patients with NHL and three in healthy volunteers).

Background: Esaxerenone is a novel non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor blocker. Here, we assessed efficacy and safety exposure-response relationships of esaxerenone and its covariates and thereby justified the recommended dosage regimens, focusing on the safety benefits of up-titration regimen in patients at higher risk for increased serum potassium (sK).

Methods: The relationships between model-derived individual esaxerenone exposure and efficacy (blood pressure [BP]) and safety (increased sK) were evaluated using multivariate linear regression and Cox regression analyses, respectively, using data from 1453 hypertensive patients with or without diabetic kidney disease in five clinical studies.

Objectives: Esaxerenone is a novel, non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) blocker with improved selectivity and affinity for MR. The objectives of this study were to model the population pharmacokinetics of esaxerenone in a diverse population and to evaluate the effect of covariates on pharmacokinetics parameters.

Methods: A total of 8263 plasma esaxerenone concentrations from 166 healthy volunteers, 1097 hypertensive patients and 360 patients with diabetic nephropathy were pooled.

Valemetostat is an oral, selective inhibitor of enhancer of zeste homolog-2 (EZH2) and EZH1. In a first-in-human phase-1 trial, valemetostat capsules were well tolerated and clinically active in patients with relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Subsequently, a film-coated tablet formulation was developed for future clinical trials and commercialization.
