Brigatinib is an oral anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitor approved for the treatment of ALK-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. In vitro studies indicated that brigatinib is primarily metabolized by CYP2C8 and CYP3A4 and inhibits P-gp, BCRP, OCT1, MATE1, and MATE2K. Clinical drug-drug interaction (DDI) studies with the strong CYP3A inhibitor itraconazole or the strong CYP3A inducer rifampin demonstrated that CYP3A-mediated metabolism was the primary contributor to overall brigatinib clearance in humans.

The treatment of patients infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been revolutionised by the development of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) that target specific HCV proteins involved in viral replication. The first DAAs were associated with clinical problems such as adverse drug reactions and pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Current FDA/EMA-approved treatments are combinations of DAAs that simultaneously target the HCV N5A-protein, the HCV N5B-polymerase and the HCV NS3/4A-protease.

The Nitrosogenesis of skin cancer is a newly introduced concept in medical science, the significance of which is yet to be the subject of detailed analyses and discussions. Contamination of the most commonly used drugs for systemic treatment worldwide (such as Angiotensin receptor II blockers/ARBs, ACE inhibitors, Beta blockers, Thiazide diuretics, Metformin, Ranitidine, Nizatidine, tricyclic antidepressants, anticoagulants/dabigatran, Rifampicin, calcium channel blockers, SSRIs/ selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, Varenicline) is already a fact and is more than worrying but also indicative. It is "this relationship" that has been repeatedly described in the medical literature (initially) as an association, and subsequently now increasingly as a causal relationship, a pathogenetic relationship.

Background And Objective: Cilofexor is a selective farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist in development for the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis. Our objective was to evaluate potential drug-drug interactions of cilofexor as a victim and as a perpetrator.
Methods: In this Phase 1 study, healthy adult participants (n = 18-24 per each of the 6 cohorts) were administered cilofexor in combination with either perpetrators or substrates of cytochrome P-450 (CYP) enzymes and drug transporters.

Ageing and chronic kidney disease (CKD) affect pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters. Since mechanisms are related and remain unclear, cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A and drug transporter activities were investigated in the elderly with or without CKD and compared to healthy adults using a microdose cocktail. Healthy young participants ( = 20), healthy elderly participants ( = 16) and elderly patients with CKD ( = 17) received, in study period 1, a single dose of microdose cocktail probe containing 30 µg midazolam, 750 µg dabigatran etexilate, 100 µg atorvastatin, 10 µg pitavastatin, and 50 µg rosuvastatin.
