Abstract Background High-dose rifampicin is considered to shorten anti-TB treatment duration but its effect on antiretroviral metabolism is unknown. Objectives To assess the effect of doubling the rifampicin dose (to 20 mg/kg/day, R20) on efavirenz pharmacokinetics (PK) in HIV/TB coinfected patients. Methods Open-label Phase 2 drug–drug interaction randomized trial. Pulmonary TB, ART-naive adults were randomized to R20 and either efavirenz 600 mg (EFV600) or 800 mg (EFV800), or rifampicin 10 mg/kg/day (R10) and EFV600 with a 1:1:1 ratio. Patients were first started on TB treatment and 2–4 weeks later started on ART. They were switched to R10 and EFV600 after 8 weeks. Full PK sampling was done 4 weeks (on rifampicin) and 24 weeks (off rifampicin) after ART initiation. Transaminases, plasma HIV-1 RNA and sputum cultures were monitored. The efavirenz geometric mean ratio (GMR) of AUC at 4 and 24 weeks after ART initiation within the same patient was calculated in each arm and its 90% CI was compared with a preset range (0.70–1.43). Results Of 98 enrolled patients (32 in the R20EFV600 arm, 33 in the R20EFV800 arm and 33 in the R10EFV600 arm), 87 had full PK sampling. For the R20EFV600, R20EFV800 and R10EFV600 arms, GMRs of efavirenz AUC were 0.87 (90% CI: 0.75–1.00), 1.12 (90% CI: 0.96–1.30) and 0.96 (90% CI: 0.84–1.10). Twelve weeks after ART initiation, 78.6%, 77.4% and 72.4% of patients had HIV-1 RNA below 100 copies/mL and 85.7%, 86.7% and 80.0% had Week 8 culture conversion, respectively. Two patients per arm experienced a severe increase in transaminases. Conclusions Doubling the rifampicin dose had a small effect on efavirenz concentrations and was well tolerated.

Abstract Purpose This study aimed at evaluating the effect of rucaparib on the pharmacokinetics of rosuvastatin and oral contraceptives in patients with advanced solid tumors and the safety of rucaparib with and without coadministration of rosuvastatin or oral contraceptives. Methods Patients received single doses of oral rosuvastatin 20 mg (Arm A) or oral contraceptives ethinylestradiol 30 µg + levonorgestrel 150 µg (Arm B) on days 1 and 19 and continuous doses of rucaparib 600 mg BID from day 5 to 23. Serial blood samples were collected with and without rucaparib for pharmacokinetic analysis. Results Thirty-six patients (n = 18 each arm) were enrolled and received at least 1 dose of study drug. In the drug–drug interaction analysis (n = 15 each arm), the geometric mean ratio (GMR) of maximum concentration (Cmax) with and without rucaparib was 1.29 for rosuvastatin, 1.09 for ethinylestradiol, and 1.19 for levonorgestrel. GMR of area under the concentration–time curve from time zero to last quantifiable measurement (AUC0–last) was 1.34 for rosuvastatin, 1.43 for ethinylestradiol, and 1.56 for levonorgestrel. There was no increase in frequency of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) when rucaparib was given with either of the probe drugs. In both arms, most TEAEs were mild in severity and considered unrelated to study treatment. Conclusion Rucaparib 600 mg BID weakly increased the plasma exposure to rosuvastatin or oral contraceptives. Rucaparib safety profile when coadministered with rosuvastatin or oral contraceptives was consistent with that of rucaparib monotherapy. Dose adjustments of rosuvastatin and oral contraceptives are not necessary when coadministered with rucaparib. ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03954366; Date of registration May 17, 2019.

Objective: LCZ696 is a first-in-class angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) being developed for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension and heart failure. Ingestion of LCZ696 results in systemic exposure to AHU377 (inactive prodrug of LBQ657, a neprilysin inhibitor) and valsartan (angiotensin receptor blocker). Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) is indicated as first line treatment of hypertension. Since LCZ696 and HCTZ may be co-administered for optimal blood pressure control, this study was conducted to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) drug-drug interaction potential between LCZ696 and HCTZ. Methods: An open-label, three-period, single sequence study in 27 healthy subjects was conducted. In Period 1, subjects received oral HCTZ 25 mg qd x 4 days and were discharged for a 4-10 day washout. In Period 2, subjects received LCZ696 400 mg qd x 5 days, and in Period 3, HCTZ 25 mg qd + LCZ696 400 mg qd x 4 days. Serial PK samples were collected and analyzed by a validated LC-MS/MS method. PK parameters (AUCtau,ss,Cmax,ss) of LCZ696 analytes (LBQ657, valsartan) and HCTZ in plasma were determined using non-compartmental analysis, and the results were statisticallyevaluated. Results: The 90% CIs confidence intervals (CIs) for the geometric mean ratio for AUCtau,ss of HCTZ fell within the ( 0.8 - 1.25) range, while those of Cmax,ss (0.74, 0.70-0.78) fell outside the range, indicating Cmax,ss of HCTZ decreased by 26% when co-administered with LCZ696. Those for AUCtau,ss of LBQ657 fell within the range but the upper bound for Cmax,ss (1.19, 1.10-1.28) was outside the range, indicating Cmax of LBQ657 increased by 19%; the upper bound for valsartan exposures(AUCtau,ss: 1.14, 1.00-1.29; Cmax,ss: 1.16, 0.98-1.37) were above the range, indicating AUCtau,ss and Cmax,ss of valsartan increased by 14%and 16%, respectively. Conclusion: When LCZ696 400mg qd and HCTZ 25mg qd were co- administered, AUCtau,ss of HCTZ was unchanged but Cmax,ss decreased by 26%; AUCtau,ss of LBQ657 was unchanged but Cmax,ss increased by 19%; and lastly, AUCtau,ss and Cmax,ss of valsartan increased by 14%and 16%, respectively. LCZ696 400 mg qd was safe and well tolerated in healthy subjects when administered alone and in combination with HCTZ 25 mg qd.

Nintedanib and pirfenidone are approved treatments for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This open-label, two-group trial investigated the pharmacokinetic drug–drug interaction between these two drugs in patients with IPF.Subjects not treated with antifibrotics at screening (group 1, n=20) received a single nintedanib dose (150 mg) followed by pirfenidone (titrated to 801 mg thrice daily) for 3 weeks, with a further single nintedanib dose (150 mg) on the last day (day 23). Subjects treated with pirfenidone at screening (group 2, n=17) continued to receive pirfenidone alone (801 mg thrice daily) for 7 days, then co-administered with nintedanib (150 mg twice daily) for a further 7 days, before single doses of both treatments on day 16.In group 1, adjusted geometric mean (gMean) ratios (with/without pirfenidone) were 88.6% and 80.6% for nintedanib area under the plasma concentration–time curve (AUC) and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), respectively. In group 2, gMean ratios (with/without nintedanib) were 97.2% and 99.5% for pirfenidone AUC and Cmax, respectively. For all parameters, the 90% confidence intervals included 100%, suggesting similar exposure for administration alone and when co-administered. Both treatments were well tolerated.These data indicate there is no relevant pharmacokinetic drug–drug interaction between nintedanib and pirfenidone when co-administered in IPF patients.

Abstract Purpose Ceritinib is an ALK receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved as first- and second-line treatment in adult patients with ALK + metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study investigated the drug–drug interaction (DDI) potential of ceritinib when coadministered with midazolam and warfarin as probe substrates for CYP3A and CYP2C9 activity, respectively. Methods This was a phase I, multicenter, open-label, single sequence, crossover DDI study in 33 adult patients with ALK + NSCLC or other advanced tumors. A single dose of a cocktail consisting of midazolam and warfarin was administered with and without concomitant administration of ceritinib. The primary objective was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of midazolam and warfarin. Secondary objectives included pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability, overall response rate (ORR), and duration of response (DOR) of ceritinib 750 mg once daily. Results Ceritinib inhibited CYP3A-mediated metabolism of midazolam, resulting in a markedly increased AUC (geometric mean ratio [90% confidence interval]) by 5.4-fold (4.6, 6.3). Ceritinib also led to an increase in the AUC of S-warfarin by 54% (36%, 75%). The pharmacokinetics and safety profile of ceritinib in this study are consistent with previous reports and no new safety signals were reported. Among the 19 patients with NSCLC, efficacy (ORR: 42.1% and DCR: 63.2%) was similar to that reported previously in studies of pretreated patients with ALK + NSCLC. Conclusion Ceritinib is a strong CYP3A inhibitor and a weak CYP2C9 inhibitor. These findings should be reflected as actionable clinical recommendations in the prescribing information for ceritinib with regards to concomitant medications whose pharmacokinetics may be altered by ceritinib.

Abstract Objectives To assess the pharmacokinetic of itraconazole capsule formulation and its active metabolite, hydroxyitraconazole, in adults with HIV diagnosed with talaromycosis in an endemic area, and to evaluate the drug–drug interaction between itraconazole/hydroxyitraconazole (ITC/OH-ITC) and efavirenz. Methods Open-label, single arm, sequential pharmacokinetic study. Eligible subjects were adults with HIV, ≥18 years old, with confirmed talaromycosis, initiating itraconazole capsule as part of standard talaromycosis treatment, in whom efavirenz-based ART was anticipated. Steady-state pharmacokinetic assessments (pre-dose and at 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 12 h post dose) were performed for itraconazole/hydroxyitraconazole without and with efavirenz use. Mid-dose efavirenz concentrations were also assessed. Pharmacokinetics parameters were calculated using non-compartmental analysis. Results Ten subjects (70% male) were enrolled. At entry, median (range) age was 29.5 years (22–64), and CD4 cell count was 18.0 (1–39) cells/mm3. Geometric mean (95% CI) of itraconazole and hydroxyitraconazole AUC0–12 without efavirenz were 9097 (6761–12 239) and 11 705 (8586-15 959) ng·h/mL, respectively, with a median metabolic ratio of OH-ITC : ITC of 1.3 (95% CI 0.9–1.9). Intra-subject comparison revealed that both itraconazole and hydroxyitraconazole exposures were significantly reduced with concomitant efavirenz use, with the mean AUC0–12 of itraconazole and hydroxyitraconazole being 86% (71%–94%) and 84% (64%–97%) lower, respectively. With efavirenz, itraconazole trough concentrations were also below the recommended therapeutic level (0.5 μg/mL). All subjects had mid-dose efavirenz concentrations >1000 ng/mL. Conclusions Concomitant administration of itraconazole capsule with efavirenz significantly reduced itraconazole and hydroxyitraconazole exposures. The clinical impact of this drug–drug interaction on talaromycosis treatment or prophylaxis in the era of potent ART needs further evaluation.

Objective: LCZ696 is a first-in-class angiotensin receptor neprlysin inhibitor (ARNI) being developed for the treatment of hypertension and heart failure. Ingestion of LCZ696 results in systemic exposure to AHU377 (inactive prodrug of LBQ657, a neprilysin inhibitor) and valsartan (angiotensin receptor blocker). Carvedilol is a third-generation, non-selective beta-blocker with vasodilating properties and one of three beta-blockers with efficacy in reducing the risk of death in patients with heart failure. Since LCZ696 may be co-administered with carvedilol for optimal blood pressure control, this study was conducted to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) drug-drug interaction potential between LCZ696 and carvedilol. Methods: An open-label, three-period, single sequence study in 28 healthy subjects was conducted. In Period 1, subjects received oral LCZ696 400 mg qd x 5 days and were discharged for a 4-10 day washout. In Period 2, subjects received oral carvedilol 12.5 mg bid x first 2 days, then 25 mg bid x 4 days, and in Period 3, LCZ696 400 mg qd + carvedilol 25 mg bid x 5 days. Serial PK samples were collected and analyzed by a validated LC-MS/MS method. PK parameters (AUCtau,ss, Cmax,ss) of LCZ696 analytes(LBQ657, valsartan) and carvedilol (R(+)-and S(-)-carvedilol) in plasma were determined using non-compartmental analysis, and results were statistically evaluated. Results: The 90% CIs of the geometric mean ratio for AUCtau,ss and Cmax,ss of LBQ657, and AUCtau,ss of valsartan fell within the range of (0.80-1.25); the lower bound for Cmax,ss of valsartan (0.88, 0.78-0.98) was below the range, indicating PK of LBQ567 was not altered but Cmax,ss of valsartan decreased by 12% when co-administered with carvedilol. Those for AUCtau,ss and Cmax,ss of both R(+)-and S(-)carvedilol fell within the range (0.80-1.25), indicating no change in PK of Carvedilol in combination with LCZ696. Conclusion: When LCZ696 400 mg qd and carvedilol 25 mg bid were co-dministered, PK of carvedilol (R(+)-and S(-)-carvedilol) was unchanged. PK of LBQ657 or AUCtau,ss of valsartan was unchanged, while Cmax,ss decreased by 12%. LCZ696 400 mg qd was safe and well tolerated in healthy subjects when administered alone and in combination with carvedilol 25 mg bid.

OBJECTIVE: To report a case of Parkinson-like symptoms appearing in a patient after introduction of ritonavir to buspirone therapy. CASE SUMMARY: A 54-year-old HIV-positive white man presented to the clinic with a 2-week history of ataxia, shuffling gait, cogwheel rigidity, resting tremor, and sad affect with masked features. This patient had been receiving high-dose buspirone (40 mg every morning and 30 mg every evening) for 2 years prior to the introduction of ritonavir/indinavir combination therapy (400 mg/400 mg twice daily) 6 weeks prior to initiation of the above symptoms. Buspirone was decreased to 15 mg 3 times daily, ritonavir/indinavir was discontinued, and amprenavir 1200 mg twice daily was added. The patient's symptoms began to subside after 1 week, with complete resolution after about 2 weeks. The patient continued to receive buspirone for an additional 12 months without recurrence of symptoms. DISCUSSION: This is the first reported interaction of buspirone and antiretrovirals. Buspirone, extensively metabolized by CYP3A4, was likely at supratherapeutic levels due to the inhibitory effect of ritonavir and, secondarily, indinavir. The Parkinson-like symptoms developed rapidly and severely, impacted this patient's quality of life, and necessitated significant clinic expenditures to identify this drug–drug interaction. CONCLUSIONS: This case demonstrates a severe drug–drug interaction between buspirone and ritonavir and further demonstrates the need for awareness of the metabolic profile for all agents an HIV-infected patient is receiving.

Abstract Background High-dose rifampicin may improve outcomes of tuberculous meningitis (TBM). Little safety or pharmacokinetic (PK) data exist on high-dose rifampicin in HIV co-infection, and no cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) PK data exist from Africa. We hypothesized that high-dose rifampicin would increase serum and CSF concentrations without excess toxicity. Methods In this phase II open-label trial, Ugandan adults with suspected TBM were randomised to standard-of-care control (PO-10, rifampicin 10mg/kg/day), intravenous rifampicin (IV-20, 20mg/kg/day), or high-dose oral rifampicin (PO-35, 35mg/kg/day). We performed PK sampling on day 2 and 14. The primary outcomes were total exposure (AUC0-24), maximum concentration (Cmax), CSF concentration and grade 3-5 adverse events. Results We enrolled 61 adults, 92% were HIV-positive, median CD4 count was 50cells/µL (IQR 46–56). On day 2, geometric mean plasma AUC0-24hr was 42.9h.mg/L with standard-of-care 10mg/kg dosing, 249h.mg/L for IV-20 and 327h.mg/L for PO-35 (P<0.001). In CSF, standard-of-care achieved undetectable rifampicin concentration in 56% of participants and geometric mean AUC0-24hr 0.27mg/L, compared with 1.74mg/L (95%CI 1.2–2.5) for IV-20 and 2.17mg/L (1.6–2.9) for PO-35 regimens (p<0.001). Achieving CSF concentrations above rifampicin minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) occurred in 11% (2/18) of standard-of-care, 93% (14/15) of IV-20, and 95% (18/19) of PO-35 participants. Higher serum and CSF levels were sustained at day 14. Adverse events did not differ by dose (p=0.34) Conclusion Current international guidelines result in sub-therapeutic CSF rifampicin concentration for 89% of Ugandan TBM patients. High-dose intravenous and oral rifampicin were safe, and respectively resulted in exposures ~6- and ~8-fold higher than standard-of-care, and CSF levels above the MIC
