Background: Ubrogepant is a novel, oral calcitonin gene–related peptide receptor antagonist for acute treatment of migraine. This study evaluated potential drug–drug interactions between ubrogepant and an oral contraceptive containing ethinyl estradiol (EE) and norgestimate (NGM). Methods: This open-label, single-center, two-period, fixed-sequence study enrolled healthy, postmenopausal or oophorectomized, adult women. In period 1, participants received a single oral dose of EE 0.035 mg/NGM 0.25 mg (EE-NGM) followed by a 7-day washout. In period 2, participants received oral ubrogepant 50 mg daily on days 1–14; single-dose EE-NGM was coadministered with ubrogepant on day 10. Pharmacokinetic parameters for plasma EE and norelgestromin (NGMN) were compared with and without ubrogepant. Results: Twenty-two participants aged 46–66 years were enrolled; 21 completed the study. Geometric mean ratios and 90% confidence intervals for the comparison of EE-NGM + ubrogepant to EE-NGM alone were contained within 0.80 and 1.25 for area under the plasma drug concentration–time curve (AUC) from time zero to infinity (AUC0–∞; 0.96 [0.91, 1.01]) and C max (0.91 [0.82, 1.004]) of NGMN and AUC0–∞ (0.97 [0.93, 1.01]) of EE, but not C max of EE (0.74 [0.69, 0.79]). Median t max of EE was delayed following EE-NGM + ubrogepant (3.0 h) versus EE-NGM alone (median of 1.5 h), whereas median t max of NGMN was unchanged (1.5 h). Geometric mean apparent terminal half-life ( t ½) was similar with and without ubrogepant for EE (23 vs. 21 h) and NGMN (36 h both conditions). All ubrogepant-related adverse events were mild or moderate. Conclusion: Ubrogepant did not demonstrate potential for clinically meaningful drug–drug interactions with an EE-NGM oral contraceptive. Trial registration: Not applicable (phase 1 trial)

ABSTRACTThe aim of this open-label, fixed-sequence study was to investigate the potential ofEchinacea purpurea, a commonly used botanical supplement, to interact with the boosted protease inhibitor darunavir-ritonavir. Fifteen HIV-infected patients receiving antiretroviral therapy including darunavir-ritonavir (600/100 mg twice daily) for at least 4 weeks were included.E. purpurearoot extract capsules were added to the antiretroviral treatment (500 mg every 6 h) from days 1 to 14. Darunavir concentrations in plasma were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography immediately before and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 h after a morning dose of darunavir-ritonavir on days 0 (darunavir-ritonavir) and 14 (darunavir-ritonavir plus echinacea). Individual darunavir pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by noncompartmental analysis and compared between days 0 and 14 with the geometric mean ratio (GMR) and its 90% confidence interval (CI). The median age was 49 (range, 43 to 67) years, and the body mass index was 24.2 (range, 18.7 to 27.5) kg/m2. Echinacea was well tolerated, and all participants completed the study. The GMR for darunavir coadministered with echinacea relative to that for darunavir alone was 0.84 (90% CI, 0.63-1.12) for the concentration at the end of the dosing interval, 0.90 (90% CI, 0.74-1.10) for the area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 12 h, and 0.98 (90% CI, 0.82-1.16) for the maximum concentration. In summary, coadministration ofE. purpureawith darunavir-ritonavir was safe and well tolerated. Individual patients did show a decrease in darunavir concentrations, although this did not affect the overall darunavir or ritonavir pharmacokinetics. Although no dose adjustment is required, monitoring darunavir concentrations on an individual basis may give reassurance in this setting.

ABSTRACTThe aim of this open-label, fixed-sequence study was to investigate the potential of the botanical supplement milk thistle (silymarin) to interact with the boosted protease inhibitor combination darunavir-ritonavir. Fifteen HIV-infected patients receiving antiretroviral therapy with darunavir-ritonavir (600/100 mg twice daily) for at least 4 weeks were included. Silymarin (150 mg every 8 h) was added to the antiretroviral treatment from days 1 to 14. Darunavir concentrations in plasma were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography immediately before and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 h after a morning dose of darunavir-ritonavir on day 0 and darunavir-ritonavir plus silymarin on day 14. Individual darunavir pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by noncompartmental analysis and compared between days 0 and 14 by means of the geometric mean ratio (GMR) and its 90% confidence interval (CI). The median age was 48 years (interquartile range, 44 to 50 years), and the median body weight was 70 kg (interquartile range, 65 to 84 kg). Silymarin was well tolerated, and all participants completed the study. The GMRs for darunavir coadministered with silymarin relative to darunavir alone were 0.86 (90% CI, 0.70 to 1.05) for the area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 12 h, 0.83 (90% CI, 0.80 to 0.98) for the maximum concentration, and 0.94 (90% CI, 0.73 to 1.19) for the concentration at the end of the dosing interval. In summary, coadministration of silymarin with darunavir-ritonavir seems to be safe in HIV-infected patients; no dose adjustment for darunavir-ritonavir seems to be necessary.

ABSTRACTThis open-label, fixed-sequence, phase 1 study evaluated the pharmacokinetic interaction between maraviroc (MVC) and ritonavir-boosted fosamprenavir (FPV/r) in healthy subjects. In period 1, subjects received 300 mg of MVC twice daily (BID; cohort 1) or once daily (QD; cohort 2) for 5 days. In period 2, cohort 1 subjects received 700/100 mg of FPV/r BID alone on days 1 to 10 and then FPV/r at 700/100 mg BID plus MVC at 300 mg BID on days 11 to 20; cohort 2 subjects received FPV/r at 1,400/100 mg QD alone on days 1 to 10 and then FPV/r at 1,400/100 mg QD plus MVC at 300 mg QD on days 11 to 20. Pharmacokinetic parameters, assessed on day 5 of period 1 and on days 10 and 20 of period 2, included the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), the concentration at end of dosing interval (Cτ), and the area under the curve over dosing interval (AUCτ). Safety and tolerability were also assessed. MVC geometric mean AUCτ,Cmax, andCτwere increased by 149, 52, and 374%, respectively, after BID dosing with FPV/r, and by 126, 45, and 80%, respectively, after QD dosing. Amprenavir (the active form of the prodrug fosamprenavir) and ritonavir exposures were decreased in the presence of MVC with amprenavir AUCτ,Cmax, andCτdecreased by 34 to 36% in the presence of FPV/r plus maraviroc BID and by 15 to 30% with FPV/r plus MVC QD both compared to FPV/r alone. The overall all-causality adverse-event (AE) incidence rate was 96.4%; all AEs were of mild or moderate severity. Commonly reported treatment-related AEs (>20% of patients overall) included diarrhea, fatigue, abdominal discomfort, headache, and nausea. No serious AEs or deaths occurred. In summary, maraviroc exposure increased in the presence of FPV/r, whereas MVC coadministration decreased amprenavir and ritonavir exposures. MVC dosed at 300 mg BID with FPV/r is not recommended due to concerns of lower amprenavir exposures; however, no dose adjustment is warranted with MVC at 150 mg BID in combination with FPV/r based on the available clinical data. MVC plus FPV/r was generally well tolerated; no new safety signals were detected.

Background: Ubrogepant is metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) and is a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate. Objective: To assess effects of multiple-dose moderate-strong CYP3A4 and strong P-gp inhibitors and inducers on ubrogepant pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters. Methods: Two phase 1, open-label, fixed-sequence, single-center, crossover trials enrolled healthy adults to receive ubrogepant 20 mg with/without verapamil 240 mg (a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor) or ketoconazole 400 mg (a strong CYP3A4 and P-gp transporter inhibitor) (Study A), or ubrogepant 100 mg with/without rifampin 600 mg (a strong CYP3A4 inducer and P-gp inducer) (Study B). Outcomes included ubrogepant PK parameters (area under plasma concentration-time curve, time 0 through infinity [AUC0-∞], peak plasma concentration [Cmax]), and safety (treatment-emergent adverse events [TEAEs]). PK parameters were compared between ubrogepant with/without coadministered medications using linear mixed-effects models. Cmax and AUC0-∞ least-squares geometric mean ratios (GMR) of ubrogepant with/without coadministration were constructed. Results: Twelve participants enrolled in Study A and 30 in Study B. AUC0-∞ and Cmax GMR (90% CI) were 3.53 (3.32–3.75) and 2.80 (2.48–3.15), respectively, for ubrogepant with verapamil; 9.65 (7.27–12.81) and 5.32 (4.19–6.76) with ketoconazole; and 0.22 (0.20–0.24) and 0.31 (0.27–0.36) with rifampin. TEAEs were predominantly mild; no treatment-related serious TEAEs or TEAE-related discontinuations occurred. Conclusion: The PK of ubrogepant were significantly affected by the concomitant use of CYP3A4 moderate-strong inhibitors and strong inducers.

ABSTRACTThe aim of this open-label, fixed-sequence study was to investigate the potential of the botanical supplementEchinacea purpureato interact with etravirine, a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor of HIV. Fifteen HIV-infected patients receiving antiretroviral therapy with etravirine (400 mg once daily) for at least 4 weeks were included.E. purpurearoot/extract-containing capsules were added to the antiretroviral treatment (500 mg every 8 h) for 14 days. Etravirine concentrations in plasma were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography immediately before and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 h after a morning dose of etravirine on day 0 and etravirine plusE. purpureaon day 14. Individual etravirine pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by noncompartmental analysis and compared between days 0 and 14 by means of the geometric mean ratio (GMR) and its 90% confidence interval (CI). The median age was 46 years (interquartile range, 41 to 50), and the median body weight was 76 kg (interquartile range, 68 to 92). Echinacea was well tolerated, and all participants completed the study. The GMR for etravirine coadministered withE. purpurearelative to etravirine alone was 1.07 (90% CI, 0.81 to 1.42) for the maximum concentration, 1.04 (90% CI, 0.79 to 1.38) for the area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 h, and 1.04 (90% CI, 0.74 to 1.44) for the concentration at the end of the dosing interval. In conclusion, the coadministration ofE. purpureawith etravirine was safe and well tolerated in HIV-infected patients; our data suggest that no dose adjustment for etravirine is necessary.

316 Background: Galeterone (gal) is a semisynthetic steroid that targets androgen receptor (AR) signaling via increased AR protein degradation, inhibition of CYP17 activity, and inhibition of androgen binding to AR. Gal is a novel potential treatment for prostate cancer. In vitro, gal competitively inhibits CYP3A4 (IC50 = 5.5 μM; midazolam as substrate). This clinical study evaluated whether multiple daily doses of gal alter the single-dose PK of midazolam, a sensitive probe substrate for functional CYP3A4 intestinal and hepatic activity. Methods: In an open-label, fixed sequence, DDI study, 18 healthy male volunteers received midazolam 2 mg Day 1 and Day 5 and gal 2550 mg Days 2-5. Midazolam plasma PK was determined on Days 1 and 5. The effect of gal on the natural log-transformed Cmax, AUC0-inf, and AUC0-t of midazolam was assessed with a linear mixed-effects model; point estimates for geometric means, geometric mean ratios with 90% confidence intervals were determined. Safety was also monitored. Results: The Tmax of midazolam was not altered by gal coadministration. The < 2-fold increases in midazolam Cmax and AUCs were statistically significant. For Cmax, the point estimate of the geometric least squares (LS) mean ratio between the 2 treatments was 1.25 (90% CI: 1.05, 1.48). Higher ratios were observed for the AUC ratios, with LS mean ratio for AUC0-t of 1.57 (90% CI: 1.43, 1.73) and for AUC0-inf of 1.58 (90% CI: 1.42, 1.75). The mean midazolam t1/2 was approximately 76% higher with gal coadministration. Multiple doses of gal were well tolerated with no apparent effect on the safety of midazolam. Conclusions: Per FDA guidance, < 2-fold increases in midazolam Cmax and AUCs observed with gal coadministration support its classification as a weak inhibitor of CYP3A4. Given the similar or higher in vitro IC50’s for CYP2C8 and CYP2C19, respectively, a comparable or lesser degree of enzyme inhibition is expected for gal 2550 mg daily. Based on these results, concurrent CYP3A4, CYP2C8, and CYP2C19 substrates are not contraindicated in patients taking gal; caution is advised in patients receiving or initiating sensitive CYP3A4, CYP2C8, and CYP2C19 substrates, especially those with a narrow therapeutic range.
