Oxycodone is frequently used for treating cancer-related pain, while not much is known about the factors that influence treatment outcomes in these patients. We aim to unravel these factors by developing a population-pharmacokinetic model to assess the pharmacokinetics of oxycodone and its metabolites in cancer patients, and to associate this with pain scores, and adverse events. Hospitalized patients with cancer-related pain, who were treated with oral oxycodone, could participate. Pharmacokinetic samples and patient-reported pain scores and occurrence and severity of nine adverse events were taken every 12 h. In 28 patients, 302 pharmacokinetic samples were collected. A one-compartment model for oxycodone and each metabolite best described oxycodone, nor-oxycodone, and nor-oxymorphone pharmacokinetics. Furthermore, oxycodone exposure was not associated with average and maximal pain scores, and oxycodone, nor-oxycodone, and nor-oxymorphone exposure were not associated with adverse events (all p > 0.05). This is the first model to describe the pharmacokinetics of oxycodone including the metabolites nor-oxycodone and nor-oxymorphone in hospitalized patients with cancer pain. Additional research, including more patients and a more timely collection of pharmacodynamic data, is needed to further elucidate oxycodone (metabolite) pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationships. This model is an important starting point for further studies to optimize oxycodone dosing regiments in patients with cancer-related pain.

SummaryIn acute myocardial infarction rapid, complete, and sustained reperfusion of the infarct-related coronary artery is the most important therapeutic principle. Lanoteplase or n-PA, a third-generation plasminogen activator consisting of a deletion and point mutant of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA), is a promising agent to appraoch this therapeutic goal. The molecule exhibits an increased plasma half-life allowing single-bolus administration. In this article, after characterizing the n-PA molecule, the currently available pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data including the results of the InTIME study are reviewed.

Abstract Background Antibiotic administration by subcutaneous (SC) injection is common practice in French geriatric wards as an alternative to the intravenous (IV) route, but few pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic data are available. Ertapenem is useful for the treatment of infections with ESBL-producing enterobacteria. Objectives To report and compare ertapenem pharmacokinetic data between IV and SC routes in older persons. Methods Patients >65 years of age receiving ertapenem (1 g once daily) for at least 48 h (IV or SC, steady-state) were prospectively enrolled. Total ertapenem concentrations [residual (C0), IV peak (C0.5) and SC peak (C2.5)] were determined by UV HPLC. Individual-predicted AUC0–24 values were calculated and population pharmacokinetic analyses were performed. Using the final model, a Monte Carlo simulation involving 10 000 patients evaluated the influence of SC or IV administration on the PTA. Tolerance to ertapenem and recovery were also monitored. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02505386. Results Ten (mean ± SD age=87±7 years) and 16 (age=88±5 years) patients were included in the IV and SC groups, respectively. The mean C0 and C2.5 values were not significantly different between the IV and SC groups (C0=12±5.9 versus 12±7.4 mg/L, P=0.97; C2.5=97±42 versus 67±41 mg/L, P=0.99). The mean C0.5 was higher in the IV group compared with the SC group (C0.5=184±90 versus 51±66 mg/L, P=0.001). The mean individual AUCs (1126.92±334.99 mg·h/L for IV versus 1005.3±266.0 mg·h/L for SC, P=0.38) and PTAs were not significantly different between groups. No severe antibiotic-related adverse effects were noted. Conclusions SC administration of ertapenem is an alternative to IV administration in older patients.
