Omecamtiv mecarbil (OM) is a novel cardiac myosin activator in development for the treatment of heart failure. In vitro, OM is an inhibitor of BCRP. Rosuvastatin, a BCRP substrate, is one of the most commonly prescribed medications in patients with heart failure. The potential for a pharmacokinetic (PK) drug‐drug interaction (DDI) was investigated, specifically to determine whether a single 50 mg dose of OM would impact the PKs of a single 10 mg dose of rosuvastatin in an open‐label study in 14 healthy subjects. The ratios of the geometric least‐square means (90% confidence intervals [CIs]) of rosuvastatin co‐administered with OM compared to rosuvastatin alone were 127.1% (90% CI 113.8–141.9), 132.8% (90% CI 120.7–146.1), and 154.2% (90% CI 132.8–179.1) for area under the plasma‐concentration time curve from time zero to infinity (AUCinf), area under the plasma‐concentration time curve from time zero to time of last quantifiable concentration (AUClast), and maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax), respectively. Whereas the DDI study with rosuvastatin was conducted with the co‐administration of a single dose of OM, in the clinical setting, patients receive OM at doses of 25, 37.5, or 50 mg twice daily (b.i.d.). Hence, to extrapolate the results of the DDI study to a clinically relevant scenario of continuous b.i.d. dosing with OM, physiologically‐based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling was performed to explore the potential of BCRP inhibition following continuous b.i.d. dosing of OM at the highest 50 mg dose. Modeling results indicated that following 50 mg b.i.d. dosing of OM, the predicted ratios of the geometric means (90% CIs) for rosuvastatin AUCinf and Cmax were 1.18 (90% CI 1.16–1.20) and 2.04 (90% CI 1.99–2.10), respectively. Therefore, these results suggest that OM, following multiple dose administration, is a weak inhibitor of BCRP substrates and is in accordance with that observed in the single dose OM DDI clinical study.

Baicalein is a biologically important flavonoid in extracted from the Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, which can effectively inhibit the influenza virus. This study aimed to analyze the safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of baicalein tablets in healthy Chinese subjects and provide more information for phase II clinical trials. In this multiple‐ascending‐dose placebo‐controlled trial, 36 healthy subjects were randomized to receive 200, 400, and 600 mg of baicalein tablet or placebo once daily on day 1 and day 10, 3 times daily on days 4–9. All groups were intended to produce safety and tolerability outcomes (lowest dose first). Blood and urine samples were collected from subjects in the 600 mg group for baicalein PK analysis. Our study had shown that Baicalein tablet was generally safe and well‐tolerated. All adverse events were mild and resolved without any intervention except one case of fever reported in the 600 mg group, which was considered as moderate but not related with baicalein as judged by the investigator. Oral baicalein tablets were rapidly absorbed with peak plasma levels being reached within 2 h after multiple administration. The highest urinary excretion of baicalein and its metabolites peaked in 2 h, followed by 12 h, with a double peak trend. Study Highlights

Itepekimab is a monoclonal antibody that targets interleukin (IL‐33) and has been shown to reduce airway inflammation and associated tissue damage in preclinical studies. We assessed the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PKs), and pharmacodynamic profiles of single‐ascending and multiple‐ascending doses of itepekimab in two randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled phase I studies. Healthy adults (N = 40) were randomized to the single‐dose study and patients with moderate asthma (N = 23) to the multiple‐dose study. Itepekimab was administered intravenously (0.3, 1, 3, or 10 mg/kg infusion) or subcutaneously (150 mg) in the single‐dose study and subcutaneously (75 or 150 mg weekly for 4 weeks) in the multiple‐dose study. Itepekimab exhibited linear PKs across studies and dose‐proportional increases in mean maximum concentration in serum and area under the concentration–time curve following single intravenous or multiple subcutaneous doses. Itepekimab demonstrated mean subcutaneous bioavailability of 59–73% and a long terminal half‐life (30.0–31.6 days). IL‐33 concentrations in most healthy participants and patients with asthma were undetectable at baseline. Following administration of itepekimab in both studies, total IL‐33 concentrations increased and blood eosinophils decreased, both with durable effect. Itepekimab was well‐tolerated in both studies with no detection of treatment‐emergent anti‐drug antibody responses. Study Highlights

Residual shallow neuromuscular block (NMB) is potentially harmful and contributes to critical respiratory events. Evidence for the optimal dose of sugammadex required to reverse vecuronium‐induced shallow NMB is scarce. The aims of the present study were to find suitable doses of sugammadex and neostigmine to reverse a residual vecuronium‐induced NMB from a time of flight (TOF) ratio of 0.3–0.9 and evaluate their safety and efficacy. In total, 121 patients aged 18–65 years were randomly assigned to 11 groups to receive placebo, sugammadex (doses of 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, or 2.0 mg/kg), or neostigmine (doses of 10, 25, 40, 55, or 70 μg/kg). The reversal time of sugammadex and neostigmine to antagonize a vecuronium‐induced shallow residual NMB (i.e., TOF ratio of 0.3) and related adverse reactions were recorded. Several statistical models were tested to find an appropriate statistical model to explore the suitable doses of sugammadex and neostigmine required to reverse a residual vecuronium‐induced NMB. Based on a monoexponential model with the response variable on a logarithmic scale, sugammadex 0.56 mg/kg may be sufficient to reverse vecuronium‐induced shallow residual NMB at a TOF ratio of 0.3 under anesthesia maintained with propofol. Neostigmine may not provide prompt and satisfactory antagonism as sugammadex, even in shallow NMB. Study Highlights

Milvexian (BMS‐986177/JNJ‐70033093) is a small molecule, active‐site inhibitor of factor XIa (FXIa) being developed to prevent and treat thrombotic events. The safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PKs), and pharmacodynamics (PDs) of milvexian were assessed in a two‐part, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, sequential single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD) study in healthy adults. Participants in SAD panels (6 panels of 8 participants; n = 48) were randomized (3:1) to receive milvexian (4, 20, 60, 200, 300, or 500 mg) or placebo. The 200‐ and 500‐mg panels investigated the pharmacokinetic impact of a high‐fat meal. Participants in MAD panels (7 panels of 8 participants; n = 56) were randomized (3:1) to receive milvexian (once‐ or twice‐daily) or placebo for 14 days. All milvexian dosing regimens were safe and well‐tolerated, with only mild treatment‐emergent adverse events and no clinically significant bleeding events. In SAD panels, maximum milvexian plasma concentration occurred 3 h postdose in all fasted panels. The terminal half‐life (T1/2) ranged from 8.3 to 13.8 h. In fasted panels from 20 to 200 mg, absorption was dose‐proportional; results at higher doses (300 and 500 mg) were consistent with saturable absorption. Food increased milvexian bioavailability in a dose‐dependent fashion. In MAD panels, steady‐state milvexian plasma concentration was reached within 3 and 6 dosing days with once‐ and twice‐daily dosing, respectively. Renal excretion was less than 20% in all panels. Prolongation of activated partial thromboplastin time was observed and was directly related to drug exposure. These results suggest that the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD properties of milvexian are suitable for further clinical development. Study Highlights

Islatravir (MK‐8591) is a nucleoside analogue in development for the treatment and prevention of HIV‐1. Two phase 1 trials were conducted during initial evaluation of islatravir: rising single doses (Study 1) and rising multiple doses (Study 2) of oral islatravir in male and female participants without HIV (aged 18–60 years). Safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of islatravir (plasma) and islatravir‐triphosphate (peripheral blood mononuclear cells) were assessed. In Study 1, 24 participants, assigned to 1 of 3 panels, received alternating single doses of islatravir in a fasted state from 5 mg to 400 mg, or placebo, over 3 dosing periods; a 30 mg dose was additionally assessed following a high‐fat meal. In Study 2, 8 participants per dose received 3 once‐weekly doses of 10, 30, or 100 mg islatravir or placebo in a fasted state. For each panel in both trials, 6 participants received active drug and 2 received placebo. Islatravir was generally well‐tolerated, with no serious adverse events or discontinuations due to adverse events. Islatravir was rapidly absorbed (median time to maximum plasma concentration 0.5 hours); plasma half‐life was 49–61 h; intracellular islatravir‐triphosphate half‐life was 118–171 h. Plasma exposure increased in an approximately dose‐proportional manner; there was no meaningful food effect. There was a modest degree of intracellular islatravir‐triphosphate accumulation after multiple weekly dosing. After single oral doses of islatravir greater than or equal to 5 mg, intracellular islatravir‐triphosphate levels were comparable to levels associated with efficacy in preclinical studies. These results warrant continued clinical investigation of islatravir. Study Highlights

The in vivo correct QT (QTc) assay is used by the pharmaceutical industry to characterize the potential for delayed ventricular repolarization and is a core safety assay mentioned in International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) S7B guideline. The typical telemetry study involves a dose‐response analysis of QTc intervals over time using a crossover (CO) design. This method has proven utility but does not include direct integration of pharmacokinetic (PK) data. An alternative approach has been validated and is used routinely in the clinical setting that pairs pharmacodynamic (PD) responses with PK exposure (e.g., concentration‐QTc (C‐QTc) analysis. The goal of our paper was to compare the QTc sensitivity of two experimental approaches in the conscious dog and non‐human primate (NHP) QTc assays. For timepoint analysis, a conventional design using eight animals (8 × 4 CO) to detect moxifloxacin‐induced QTc prolongation was compared to a PK/PD design in a subset (N = 4) of the same animals. The findings demonstrate that both approaches are equally sensitive in detecting threshold QTc prolongation on the order of 10 ms. Both QTc models demonstrated linearity in the QTc prolongation response to moxifloxacin dose escalation (6 to 46 ms). Further, comparison with human QTc findings with moxifloxacin showed agreement and consistent translation across the three species: C‐QTc slope values were 0.7‐ (dog) and 1.2‐ (NHP) fold of the composite human value. In conclusion, our data show that dog and NHP QTc telemetry with an integrated PK arm (C‐QTc) has the potential to supplement clinical evaluation and improve integrated QTc risk assessment.

Durlobactam (formerly ETX2514) is a diazabicyclooctane β‐lactamase inhibitor that inhibits class A, C, and D β‐lactamases. Sulbactam combined with durlobactam has in vitro and in vivo activity against Acinetobacter baumannii including carbapenem‐ and colistin‐resistant isolates and is being developed for treating serious infections due to A. baumannii. The effect of a single supratherapeutic dose of durlobactam on the heart rate corrected QT interval (QTc) was evaluated in healthy subjects in a placebo‐ and active‐controlled, single‐infusion, three‐way crossover study. Subjects were randomized to 1 of 6 sequences that included a single 3‐h i.v. infusion of durlobactam 4 g (supratherapeutic dose), a single 3‐h i.v. infusion of placebo, and a single 3‐h i.v. infusion of placebo plus a single oral dose of moxifloxacin 400 mg given open‐label at the end of the i.v. infusion. In each treatment period, Holter electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements were obtained from predose through 24 h post‐start of infusion. For the primary ECG end point, placebo‐corrected change‐from‐baseline corrected QT Fridericia’s formula (ΔΔQTcF), no significant change was observed with durlobactam. A concentration‐QT analysis demonstrated no significant effect of durlobactam on ECG parameters, including QT interval prolongation. Thus, durlobactam has a low risk for prolonging the QT interval and is unlikely to produce any proarrhythmic effects. Study Highlights

Difelikefalin, a selective kappa opioid receptor agonist designed to limit central nervous system (CNS) penetration, is under development for the treatment of pruritus. Its hydrophilic, small‐peptidic structure limits CNS entry, minimizing potential CNS‐mediated adverse events (AEs). This study assessed the effect of difelikefalin on key relevant measures of respiratory depression in healthy volunteers. This single‐center, randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, three‐way crossover study enrolled healthy, nonsmoking volunteers. Subjects were randomized to 1 of 3 treatment sequences of difelikefalin (1.0 or 5.0 mcg/kg i.v.) or placebo on sequential days with an intervening 24 (±2) h washout period. The primary end points included incidence of increased end‐tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) greater than or equal to 10 mm Hg versus baseline or a level greater than 50 mm Hg sustained greater than or equal to 30 seconds, and incidence of reduction in saturation of peripheral oxygen (SpO2) to less than 92% sustained greater than or equal to 30 seconds. Secondary end points included incidence of reduced respiratory rate and other safety assessments. Fifteen subjects were randomized and completed the study. No subject on placebo or difelikefalin met the increased ETCO2 or reduced SpO2 primary end point criteria for respiratory depression. All respiratory measures in each group remained near baseline values during 4‐h postdose observations. No subject met the reduced respiratory rate criterion or experienced clinically significant changes in ETCO2, SpO2, or respiratory rate. The most commonly reported treatment‐emergent AEs (TEAEs; ≥20% of subjects) were paresthesia, hypoesthesia, and somnolence in the difelikefalin arms. All TEAEs were mild and resolved without intervention. Difelikefalin 1.0 and 5.0 mcg/kg i.v. did not produce respiratory depression. Study Highlights

The purpose of this first‐in‐human trial was to examine the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of a novel recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin (rhCG; FE 999302, choriogonadotropin beta) to support its clinical development for various therapeutic indications. The single and multiple dose PK of choriogonadotropin beta (CG beta) were evaluated in women and the single dose PK and PD of CG beta were compared to those of CG alfa in men. CG beta was safe and well‐tolerated in all 84 healthy subjects. In women, the area under the curve (AUC) and the peak serum concentration (Cmax) increased approximately dose proportionally following single and multiple doses of CG beta. The apparent clearance (CL/F) was ~ 0.5 L/h, the mean terminal half‐life (t½) ~ 45 h and the apparent distribution volume (Vz/F) ~ 30 L. After single administration in men, the mean AUC was 1.5‐fold greater for CG beta than for CG alfa. Mean Cmax and Vz/F were comparable for the 2 preparations. In accordance with the differences in AUC, the CL/F was lower for CG beta (CL/F 0.5 vs. 0.8 L/h), explained by a longer t½ (47 vs. 32 h). Serum testosterone levels induced by a single dose rhCG reflected the PK profiles with a slight delay, resulting in 59% higher AUC for CG beta. The PK parameters for CG beta were comparable in men and in women. In conclusion, the PK differs between the two rhCG preparations, causing higher exposure and a higher PD response for CG beta, which may require relatively lower therapeutic doses. Study Highlights

High‐dose methotrexate (HDMTX) pharmacokinetics (PKs), including the best estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equation that reflects methotrexate (MTX) clearance, requires investigation. This prospective, observational, single‐center study evaluated adult patients with lymphoma treated with HDMTX. Samples were collected at predefined time points up to 96 h postinfusion. MTX and 7‐hydroxy‐MTX PKs were estimated by standard noncompartmental analysis. Linear regression determined which serum creatinine‐ or cystatin C‐based eGFR equation best predicted MTX clearance. The 80 included patients had a median (interquartile range [IQR]) age of 68.6 years (IQR 59.2–75.6), 54 (67.5%) were men, and 74 (92.5%) were White. The median (IQR) dose of MTX was 7.6 (IQR 4.8–11.3) grams. Median clearance was similar across three dosing levels at 4.5–5.6 L/h and was consistent with linear PKs. Liver function, weight, age, sex, concomitant chemotherapy, and number of previous MTX doses did not impact clearance. MTX area under the curve (AUC) values varied over a fourfold range and appeared to increase in proportion to the dose. The eGFRcys (ml/min) equation most closely correlated with MTX clearance in both the entire cohort and after excluding outlier MTX clearance values (r = 0.31 and 0.51, respectively). HDMTX as a 4‐h infusion displays high interpatient pharmacokinetic variability. Population PK modeling to optimize MTX AUC attainment requires further evaluation. The cystatin C‐based eGFR equation most closely estimated MTX clearance and should be investigated for dosing and monitoring in adults requiring MTX as part of lymphoma management. Study Highlights

Chronic antihypertensive treatment often includes combination of two or more therapies with complementary mechanism of action targeting different blood pressure (BP) control system. If available, these components are recommended to be administered as a fixed‐dose combination (FDC) to reduce tablet burden, improve adherence and thus BP control. A combination of ramipril (RAMI) and bisoprolol (BISO) is one of the options used in clinical practice and is supported by therapeutic guidelines. The clinical program for a novel BISO/RAMI FDC consisted of two randomized, open‐label, bioequivalence (BE) studies and one drug‐drug interaction (DDI) study. The BE was examined between two FDC strengths of BISO/RAMI (10/10 and 10/5 mg) and the individual reference products administered concomitantly at respective doses after a single oral dose under fasting conditions. In both BE studies, 64 healthy subjects were randomized according to a two‐way crossover design. The DDI study evaluated a potential pharmacokinetic (PK) interaction between BISO 10 mg and RAMI 10 mg following their single or concomitant administrations in 30 healthy subjects under fasting condition. BE for BISO/RAMI 10/5 mg and absence of a clinically relevant PK DDI between BISO and RAMI was demonstrated as the 90% confidence intervals (CIs) of the geometric mean ratios (GMRs) for area under the concentration time curve (AUC) and maximum concentration (Cmax) remained within the acceptance range of 80.00 to 125.00%. However, BE for BISO/RAMI 10/10 mg was not demonstrated, as the lower bound of the 90% CI of Cmax for RAMI was outside the acceptance range of BE. Both drugs administered alone or combined were well‐tolerated. No PK interaction was observed between BISO and RAMI/ramiprilat, since the co‐administration of BISO and RAMI 10 mg single doses resulted in comparable rate and extent of absorption for BISO and RAMI when compared to their individual products.

Sepsis is a major cause of mortality among hospitalized patients worldwide. Shorter time to administration of broad‐spectrum antibiotics is associated with improved outcomes, but early recognition of sepsis remains a major challenge. In a two‐center cohort study with prospective sample collection from 1400 adult patients in emergency departments suspected of sepsis, we sought to determine the diagnostic and prognostic capabilities of a machine‐learning algorithm based on clinical data and a set of uncommonly measured biomarkers. Specifically, we demonstrate that a machine‐learning model developed using this dataset outputs a score with not only diagnostic capability but also prognostic power with respect to hospital length of stay (LOS), 30‐day mortality, and 3‐day inpatient re‐admission both in our entire testing cohort and various subpopulations. The area under the receiver operating curve (AUROC) for diagnosis of sepsis was 0.83. Predicted risk scores for patients with septic shock were higher compared with patients with sepsis but without shock (p < 0.0001). Scores for patients with infection and organ dysfunction were higher compared with those without either condition (p < 0.0001). Stratification based on predicted scores of the patients into low, medium, and high‐risk groups showed significant differences in LOS (p < 0.0001), 30‐day mortality (p < 0.0001), and 30‐day inpatient readmission (p < 0.0001). In conclusion, a machine‐learning algorithm based on electronic medical record (EMR) data and three nonroutinely measured biomarkers demonstrated good diagnostic and prognostic capability at the time of initial blood culture.

Vincristine (VCR) is one of the most widely prescribed medications for treating solid tumors and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in children and adults. However, its major dose‐limiting toxicity is peripheral neuropathy that can disrupt curative therapy. Peripheral neuropathy can also persist into adulthood, compromising quality of life of childhood cancer survivors. Reducing VCR‐induced neurotoxicity without compromising its anticancer effects would be ideal. Here, we show that low expression of NHP2L1 is associated with increased sensitivity of primary leukemia cells to VCR, and that concomitant administration of VCR with inhibitors of NHP2L1 increases VCR cytotoxicity in leukemia cells, prolongs survival of ALL xenograft mice, but decreases VCR effects on human‐induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived neurons and mitigates neurotoxicity in mice. These findings offer a strategy for increasing VCR’s antileukemic effects while reducing peripheral neuropathy in patients treated with this widely prescribed medication. Study Highlights

Milademetan is a small‐molecule inhibitor of murine double minute 2 (MDM2) that is in clinical development for advanced solid tumors and hematological cancers, including liposarcoma and acute myeloid leukemia. Milademetan is a CYP3A and P‐glycoprotein substrate and moderate CYP3A inhibitor. The current study aims to understand the drug‐drug interaction (DDI) risk of milademetan as a CYP3A substrate during its early clinical development. A clinical DDI study of milademetan () showed that concomitant administration of single‐dose milademetan with the strong CYP3A inhibitor itraconazole or posaconazole increased milademetan mean area under the curve from zero to infinity (AUCinf) by 2.15‐fold (90% confidence interval [CI], 1.98–2.34) and 2.49‐fold (90% CI, 2.26–2.74), respectively, supporting that the milademetan dose should be reduced by 50% when concomitantly administered with strong CYP3A inhibitors. A physiologically‐based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of milademetan was subsequently developed to predict the magnitude of CYP3A‐mediated DDI potential of milademetan with moderate CYP3A inhibitors. The PBPK model predicted an increase in milademetan exposure of 1.72‐fold (90% CI, 1.69–1.76) with fluconazole, 1.91‐fold (90% CI, 1.83–1.99) with erythromycin, and 2.02‐fold (90% CI, 1.93–2.11) with verapamil. In addition, it estimated that milademetan’s original dose (160 mg once daily) could be resumed from its half‐reduced dose 3 days after discontinuation of concomitant strong CYP3A inhibitors. The established PBPK model of milademetan was qualified and considered to be robust enough to support continued development of milademetan. Study Highlights NCT03614455

Difelikefalin, a selective kappa‐opioid receptor agonist with limited central nervous system penetration, is being developed for the treatment of chronic pruritic conditions. This randomized, double‐blind, active‐ and placebo‐controlled, four‐way crossover study was designed to evaluate the abuse potential of difelikefalin in healthy recreational polydrug users. Using a 4 × 4 Williams design, nondependent adult users of opioids and hallucinogens (N = 44) were randomized to receive single intravenous (i.v.) injections of difelikefalin at supratherapeutic doses (5 and 15 mcg/kg); pentazocine (0.5 mg/kg), a schedule IV mu‐opioid partial agonist and kappa‐opioid receptor agonist; and placebo. The abuse potential of difelikefalin was compared with pentazocine and placebo using the maximal score (maximum effect [Emax]) of the Drug Liking visual analog scale (VAS; primary end point), along with multiple secondary end points of subject‐rated measures and pupillometry. Difelikefalin produced significantly lower Drug Liking VAS Emax, and lower peak positive, sedative, and perceptual effects compared with pentazocine. These effects of difelikefalin were small, brief, and not dose‐dependent, although marginally greater than those observed with placebo. Neither dose of difelikefalin elicited significant negative or hallucinogenic effects. On end‐of‐session measures of overall drug liking and willingness to take the drug again, difelikefalin did not differ from placebo, indicating subjects neither liked nor disliked the effects overall and did not feel motivated to take the drug again. Consistent with its lack of mu agonist activity, difelikefalin did not induce miosis compared with pentazocine. All treatments were generally well‐tolerated. This study indicates that difelikefalin presents a low potential for abuse. Study Highlights

Cenobamate (XCOPRI and ONTOZRY) is a novel antiseizure medication for the treatment of focal‐onset seizures. Nonetheless, there is limited information on the pharmacokinetics (PKs), safety, and efficacy of cenobamate in Asian people, including Japanese people. This study aimed to evaluate the PKs and safety of cenobamate after a single oral dose in healthy Japanese subjects and to compare the PKs with that reported in non‐Japanese subjects. A randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, single ascending dose study was conducted at four dose levels of 50, 100, 200, and 400 mg. Subjects were randomly assigned to cenobamate or placebo in a 6:2 ratio. Cenobamate was rapidly absorbed, reaching its maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) in 0.75 to 2.25 h, and was eliminated with a mean half‐life of 37.0 to 57.7 h. The Cmax increased dose proportionally, whereas area under the concentration‐time curve increased more than dose proportionally, which was consistent with the findings in non‐Japanese subjects. The systemic exposure of cenobamate was comparable between Japanese and non‐Japanese subjects at all dose levels evaluated. All adverse events were mild in severity, and their incidence did not show dose‐dependent trends. Furthermore, there were no clinically significant issues in safety parameters, including sedation tests, neurologic examinations, and Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale interviews. In conclusion, the systemic exposure of cenobamate after a single dose in Japanese subjects increased by dose, which was similar to the pattern in non‐Japanese subjects. In addition, a single dose of cenobamate was well‐tolerated in the dose range of 50 to 400 mg in healthy Japanese subjects. Study Highlights

N‐acetylcysteine (NAC) is an antidote to prevent acetaminophen (paracetamol‐APAP)‐induced acute liver injury (ALI). The 3‐bag licensed 20.25 h standard regimen, and a 12 h modified regimen, are used to treat APAP overdose. This study evaluated the redox thiol response and APAP metabolites, in patients with a single APAP overdose treated with either the 20.25 h standard or 12 h modified regimen. We used liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry to quantify clinically important oxidative stress biomarkers and APAP metabolites in plasma samples from 45 patients who participated in a randomized controlled trial (SNAP trial). We investigated the time course response of plasma metabolites at predose, 12 h, and 20.25 h post‐start of NAC infusion. The results showed that the 12 h modified regimen resulted in a significant elevation of plasma NAC and cysteine concentrations at 12 h post‐infusion. We found no significant alteration in the metabolism of APAP, mitochondrial, amino acids, and other thiol biomarkers with the two regimens. We examined APAP and purine metabolism in overdose patients who developed ALI. We showed the major APAP‐metabolites and xanthine were significantly higher in patients with ALI. These biomarkers correlated well with alanine aminotransferase activity at admission. Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that at admission, plasma APAP‐metabolites and xanthine concentrations were predictive for ALI. In conclusion, a significantly higher redox thiol response with the modified NAC regimen at 12 h postdose suggests this regimen may produce greater antioxidant efficacy. At baseline, plasma APAP and purine metabolites may be useful biomarkers for early prediction of APAP‐induced ALI. Study Highlights

It remains uncertain whether pharmacokinetic changes following Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass (RYGB) can be attributed to surgery‐induced gastrointestinal alterations per se and/or the subsequent weight loss. The aim was to compare short‐ and long‐term effects of RYGB and calorie restriction on CYP3A‐activity, and cross‐sectionally compare CYP3A‐activity with normal weight to overweight controls using midazolam as probe drug. This three‐armed controlled trial included patients with severe obesity preparing for RYGB (n = 41) or diet‐induced (n = 41) weight‐loss, and controls (n = 18). Both weight‐loss groups underwent a 3‐week low‐energy‐diet (<1200 kcal/day) followed by a 6‐week very‐low‐energy‐diet or RYGB (both <800 kcal/day). Patients were followed for 2 years, with four pharmacokinetic investigations using semisimultaneous oral and intravenous dosing to determine changes in midazolam absolute bioavailability and clearance, within and between groups. The RYGB and diet groups showed similar weight‐loss at week 9 (13 ± 2.4% vs. 11 ± 3.6%), but differed substantially after 2 years (−30 ± 7.0% vs. −3.1 ± 6.3%). At baseline, mean absolute bioavailability and clearance of midazolam were similar in the RYGB and diet groups, but higher compared with controls. On average, absolute bioavailability was unaltered at week 9, but decreased by 40 ± 7.5% in the RYGB group and 32 ± 6.1% in the diet group at year 2 compared with baseline, with no between‐group difference. No difference in clearance was observed over time, nor between groups. In conclusion, neither RYGB per se nor weight loss impacted absolute bioavailability or clearance of midazolam short term. Long term, absolute bioavailability was similarly decreased in both groups despite different weight loss, suggesting that the recovered CYP3A‐activity is not only dependent on weight‐loss through RYGB.

American Academy of Sleep Medicine practice parameters designate sodium oxybate (SXB) as a standard of care for cataplexy, excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), and disrupted night‐time sleep in narcolepsy. Recently, a lower‐sodium oxybate (LXB) with 92% less sodium than SXB was approved in the United States for the treatment of cataplexy or EDS in patients 7 years of age and older with narcolepsy. Two phase I, open‐label, randomized, single‐dose crossover pharmacokinetic studies in healthy adults were conducted. Single 4.5‐g oral doses of LXB and SXB were administered in a fasted or fed state. In the fasted state at equivalent oxybate doses, LXB, compared with SXB, had a lower maximum plasma concentration (Cmax; study 1 [total aqueous volume, 240 ml]: 101.8 vs. 135.7 µg/ml; study 2 [60 ml]: 94.6 vs. 123.0 μg/ml), delayed time to Cmax (Tmax; study 1: 0.75 vs. 0.5 h; study 2: 1.0 vs. 0.5 h), but similar area under the curve (AUC; study 1: AUC0‐t, 235.4 vs. 263.9 μg∙h/ml; AUC0‐∞, 236.5 vs. 265.2 μg∙h/ml; study 2: AUC0‐t, 241.5 vs. 254.7 μg∙h/ml; AUC0‐∞, 243.1 vs. 256.3 μg∙h/ml). Bioequivalence criteria were met for AUC but not Cmax (both studies). Cmax and AUC were lower under fed than fasted conditions (LXB and SXB); differences between fed versus fasted were smaller for LXB than SXB. These pharmacokinetic differences between LXB and SXB are likely due to the lower sodium content in LXB. Pooled analyses demonstrated that a higher Cmax is associated with a higher incidence of nausea and vomiting. Study Highlights
