Hyperphosphatemia is present in most patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) and has been associated with increased cardiovascular mortality. Phosphate binders (calcium‐based and calcium free) are the mainstay pharmacologic treatment to lower phosphorus levels in patients with ESRD. We evaluated biochemical markers of vascular calcification, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) treated with sevelamer carbonate (SC) versus calcium acetate (CA). Fifty patients with CKD (stages 3 and 4) were enrolled and assigned to treatment with SC and CA for 12 weeks. At the end of the study the biomarkers of vascular calcification, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction were analyzed. A significant increase in HDL‐cholesterol was observed with SC but not with CA in patients with CKD. Treatment with SC reduced serum phosphate, calcium phosphate, and FGF‐23 levels and there was no change with CA treatment. The inflammatory markers IL‐8, IFN‐γ, and TNFα decreased with response to both treatments. The levels of IL‐6 significantly increased with CA treatment and no change was observed in the SC treatment group. SC showed favorable effects on anti‐inflammatory and vascular calcification biomarkers compared to CA treatment in patients with CKD stages 3 and 4 with normal phosphorous values. Study Highlights

Rivaroxaban is an oral anticoagulant that inhibits thrombin and blocks coagulation cascade through directly inactivating factors Xa. Despite rivaroxaban is widely used for prevention and treatment of venous thrombosis, and its common adverse reactions have been reported, including abnormal coagulation, mucosal hemorrhage, hematuria, and intracranial hemorrhage. To explore potential drivers of individual differences in adverse reactions induced by rivaroxaban, we performed whole‐exome sequencing and found that AKR7A3 rs1738023/rs1738025 and ABCA6 rs7212506 are susceptible sites for rivaroxaban‐related bleeding in aged patients treated with rivaroxaban. Gene functional annotation and signaling pathway enrichment indicated that homozygous mutations in AKR7A3 and ABCA6 might alter normal rivaroxaban transport and metabolism, and lead to continuous accumulation of activated drugs and toxic substances in vivo. Our results suggested that interindividual differences in bleeding events induced by rivaroxaban may be potentially driven by genetic alterations related to abnormal metabolism and transport of rivaroxaban.

RO6870868 is an oral prodrug of the toll‐like receptor 7 (TLR7) specific agonist, RO6871765. TLR7 agonists augment host immune activity and are in development to treat hepatitis B infection. We evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PKs), and pharmacodynamics (PDs) of RO6870868 in a first‐in‐human, phase I, randomized, single ascending oral dose study in 60 healthy volunteers at 6 dose levels (200–2000 mg). Single oral doses were generally well‐tolerated with a predictable safety profile associated with dose‐dependent increases in systemic interferon. No serious adverse events (AEs) were reported and no subject withdrew from the study due to an AE. No clinically significant changes were observed in vital signs, electrocardiograms, or laboratory parameters. Following oral RO6870868 doses, plasma RO6871765 concentrations increased rapidly, exhibiting mean terminal half‐life ranging 2–6 h across all cohorts, with area under the plasma concentration versus time curve extrapolated to infinity (AUC0‐∞) increasing proportionally with dose. A pattern of dose and time‐dependent PD activity was demonstrated consistent with engagement of the TLR7 system. Single RO6870868 doses activated components of the TLR innate immune system in a dose‐dependent manner with adequate safety and tolerability. Single‐dose data in healthy volunteers are useful to evaluate safety, PK, and PD activity of TLR7 agonists and help to guide dose and regimen selection for further trials in patients with chronic hepatitis B.

We performed a two‐part study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of oral apremilast, a phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor indicated for the treatment of psoriasis, in healthy Korean adult men. In part 1, there were 12 subjects who randomly received a single oral dose of apremilast at 20, 30, or 40 mg in each of 3 periods in a crossover fashion. In part 2, there were 16 subjects who randomly received 30 mg of apremilast or its matching placebo in a ratio of 3:1 twice daily for 14 days. Apremilast was rapidly absorbed (maximum concentration: ~2–3 h postdose), and eliminated according to a monoexponential pattern with a terminal‐phase elimination half‐life of 8–9 h. The exposure to apremilast increased in a dose‐proportional manner and accumulation was 1.6‐fold at steady‐state. Apremilast was well‐tolerated after a single oral administration and multiple oral administrations in Korean adult men; all of the treatment‐emergent adverse events were mild and recovered without sequelae. In conclusion, apremilast was safe and well‐tolerated in healthy Korean adult men when administered single oral doses of 20, 30, or 40 mg or when administered multiple oral doses of 30 mg b.i.d. for 14 days. Overall exposures increased in an approximate dose proportional manner in healthy Korean adult men. 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

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

Imeglimin is an orally administered first‐in‐class drug to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and is mainly excreted unchanged by the kidneys. The present study aimed to define the pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of imeglimin using population PK analysis and to determine the optimal dosing regimen for Japanese patients with T2DM and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Imeglimin plasma concentrations in Japanese and Western healthy volunteers, and patients with T2DM, including patients with mild to severe CKD with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) greater than 14 ml/min/1.73 m2 were included in a population PK analysis. PK simulations were conducted using a population PK model, and the area under concentration‐time curve (AUC) was extrapolated with power regression analysis to lower eGFR. The influence of eGFR, weight, and age on apparent clearance and of dose on relative bioavailability were quantified by population PK analysis. Simulations and extrapolation revealed that the recommended dosing regimen based on the AUC was 500 mg twice daily (b.i.d.) for patients with eGFR 15–45 ml/min/1.73 m2, and 500 mg with a longer dosing interval was suggested for those with eGFR less than 15. Simulations revealed that differences in plasma AUCs between Japanese and Western patients at the same dose were mainly driven by a difference in the eGFR and that the plasma AUC after 1000 and 1500 mg b.i.d. in Japanese and Western patients, respectively, was comparable in the phase IIb studies. These results indicate suitable dosages of imeglimin in the clinical setting of T2DM with renal impairment. Study Highlights

Tacrolimus is the key component of most contemporary immunosuppressive drug regimens for the prevention of transplant rejection. Area under the concentration time curve over 24 h (AUC0–24) predicts efficacy, but predose (trough) tacrolimus blood concentration (C0) is currently used to guide dosing. In clinical or research situations where an estimate of AUC is required, collection of a full 24 h pharmacokinetic (PK) profile is cumbersome. Limited sampling strategies (LSSs) have been developed for some tacrolimus preparations but not for the new, extended‐release, once‐daily formulation of tacrolimus, ENVARSUS XR. Twenty‐four kidney transplant recipients were enrolled in this study. Twenty‐four tacrolimus PK profiles were obtained over 24 h. Multiple linear regression was used to generate LSSs with the best subset selection for accurate estimation of tacrolimus AUC0–24. The predictive performance of each model was assessed in the evaluation group. The correlation between actual and predicted AUC0–24 was evaluated and mean percentage prediction error (MPE%), mean absolute percentage prediction error (MAE%), and root mean squared error (RMSE) were calculated for each prediction model to assess bias and precision. The selected LSSs were highly correlated to AUC0–24 compared with the correlation between C0 and AUC0‐24. Two and three sampling points limited sampling strategies: C0, C2, and C10 provide the most reliable and effective LSS for estimation of tacrolimus AUC0–24 in routine clinic use. These limited sampling models can be applied in therapeutic drug monitoring schemes to personalize tacrolimus dosing for kidney transplant recipients on treatment with extended‐release tacrolimus.

A high intrapatient variability (IPV) in tacrolimus exposure is a risk factor for poor long‐term outcomes after kidney transplantation. The main objective of this trial was to investigate whether tacrolimus IPV decreases after switching patients from immediate‐release (IR)‐tacrolimus to either extended‐release (ER)‐tacrolimus or LifeCyclePharma (LCP)‐tacrolimus. In this randomized, prospective, open‐label, cross‐over trial, adult kidney transplant recipients on a stable immunosuppressive regimen, including IR‐tacrolimus, were randomized for conversion to ER‐tacrolimus or LCP‐tacrolimus, and for the order in which IR‐tacrolimus and the once‐daily formulations were taken. Patients were followed 6 months for each formulation, with monthly tacrolimus predose concentration assessments to calculate the IPV. The IPV was defined as the coefficient of variation (%) of dose corrected predose concentrations. Ninety‐two patients were included for analysis of the primary outcome. No significant differences between the IPV of IR‐tacrolimus (16.6%) and the combined once‐daily formulations (18.3%) were observed (% difference +1.7%, 95% confidence interval [CI] −1.1% to ‒4.5%, p = 0.24). The IPV of LCP‐tacrolimus (20.1%) was not significantly different from the IPV of ER‐tacrolimus (16.5%, % difference +3.6%, 95% CI −0.1% to 7.3%, p = 0.06). In conclusion, the IPV did not decrease after switching from IR‐tacrolimus to either ER‐tacrolimus or LCP‐tacrolimus. These results provide no arguments to switch kidney transplant recipients from twice‐daily (IR) tacrolimus formulations to once‐daily (modified‐release) tacrolimus formulations when the aim is to lower the IPV.

Tirabrutinib (TIRA), a potent and nonreversible oral Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is evaluated for treatment of certain hematological malignancies and inflammatory diseases. A drug–drug interaction study to evaluate the effect of TIRA on the pharmacokinetics of the oral contraceptive levonorgestrel (LEVO)/ethinyl estradiol (EE) was conducted in healthy female participants (N = 26). Participants received a single dose of LEVO (150 mcg)/EE (30 mcg) alone (reference), and on day 12 of a 15‐day regimen of TIRA 160 mg once‐daily (test). Intensive blood sampling for determination of LEVO, EE, and TIRA plasma concentrations was conducted, and safety was assessed throughout the study. Pharmacokinetic interactions were evaluated using 90% confidence intervals (CIs) of the geometric least squares mean (GLSM) ratios of the test versus reference treatments. The GLSM (90% CI) ratios of area under the concentration‐time curve from zero to infinity (AUCinf; LEVO: 0.95, 95% CI: 0.88–1.03, EE: 1.10, 95% CI: 1.05–1.16) and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax; LEVO: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.74–0.98, EE: 1.07, 95% CI: 0.98–1.18) were within the prespecified 0.70 to 1.43 no effect bounds; and the AUC ratios met the stricter 0.80 to 1.25 equivalence bounds. Study treatments were generally well‐tolerated. In conclusion, co‐administration with TIRA did not alter the exposure of LEVO/EE, and accordingly LEVO/EE containing oral contraceptives can serve as a contraception method for participants on TIRA 160 mg (or lower) daily doses.

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

This study evaluated the effect of repeated doses of elagolix on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of omeprazole and its metabolites in healthy premenopausal female subjects. Adult premenopausal female subjects (N = 20) received a single oral dose of omeprazole (40 mg) on day 1 and day 11 and oral doses of elagolix (300 mg) twice‐daily on days 3–11. Serial blood samples for assay of omeprazole and its metabolites were collected for 24 h after dosing on days 1 and 11. PK parameters were calculated for omeprazole, 5‐hydroxyomeprazole and omeprazole sulfone; and were compared between day 1 and day 11. Pharmacogenetic testing was performed for CYP2C19 variant alleles and the results were used to compare the magnitude of elagolix–omeprazole drug–drug interaction (DDI) between the different genotype subgroups. Administration of elagolix 300 mg twice‐daily for 9 days increased omeprazole exposure by 1.8‐fold and decreased the metabolite‐to‐parent ratio for 5‐hydroxyomeprazole by ~60%. Conversely, there was an increase in the metabolite‐to‐parent ratio for omeprazole sulfone by 25%. Elagolix increased omeprazole exposures by 2‐ to 2.5‐fold in CYP2C19 extensive (EM) and intermediate (IM) metabolizer subjects, but decreased omeprazole exposures by 40% in poor metabolizer subjects. Exposures of 5‐hydroxyomeprazole decreased by 20%–30% in all genotype subgroups, and omeprazole sulfone exposures increased by ~3‐fold in EM and IM subjects. Elagolix is a weak inhibitor of CYP2C19 and exposure of CYP2C19 substrates may be increased upon coadministration with elagolix. Omeprazole may exhibit drug interactions due to multiple mechanisms other than CYP2C19‐mediated metabolism; complicating the interpretation of results from omeprazole DDI studies. Study Highlights

DHP107 is a newly developed lipid‐based oral formulation of paclitaxel. We evaluated the in vivo tissue pharmacokinetics (PKs) of DHP107 in mice and patients using positron emission tomography (PET). Radioisotope‐labeled [3H]DHP107 and [18F]DHP107 for oral administration were formulated in the same manner as the manufacturing process of DHP107. In vivo tissue PK were assessed in healthy ICR mice and breast cancer xenografted SCID mice. Two patients with metastatic breast cancer were clinically evaluated for absorption at the target lesion after internal absorbed dose estimation. Whole‐body PET/computed tomography data were acquired in healthy and xenografted mice and in patients up to 10–24 h after administration. Tissue [18F]DHP107 signals were plotted against time and PK parameters were determined. The amounts of radioactivity in various organs and excreta were determined using a beta‐counter and are expressed as the percentage of injected dose (ID). Oral [18F]DHP107 was well‐absorbed and reached the target lesion in mice and patients with breast cancer. Significant amounts of radioactivity were found in the stomach, intestine, and liver after oral administration of [3H]‐ and [18F]DHP107 in healthy mice. The [18F]DHP107 reached a peak distribution of 0.7–0.8%ID in the tumor at 5.6–7.3 h in the xenograft model. The [18F]DHP107 distribution in patients with metastatic breast cancer was the highest at 3–4 h postadministration. Systemic exposures after administration of a DHP107 therapeutic dose were comparable with those in previous studies. PET using radioisotope‐labeled drug candidates is useful for drug development and can provide valuable information that can complement plasma PK data, particularly in early phase clinical trials.

Baloxavir marboxil, a novel influenza therapeutic agent, is a prodrug rapidly metabolized into its active form, baloxavir acid, which inhibits cap‐dependent endonuclease. This study evaluated the pharmacokinetics (PKs) and safety of baloxavir acid in healthy Korean subjects and compared them with published data in Japanese subjects. This open‐label and single‐ascending dose study was conducted in 30 Korean male subjects, with a single oral dose of baloxavir marboxil (20, 40, or 80 mg) administered to eight subjects each; additionally, 80 mg was administered to six subjects (body weight >80 kg). Noncompartmental and population PK analyses were performed, and results were compared with those of Japanese subjects. Appropriateness of the body weight‐based dosing regimen was evaluated by simulation. PK profiles of baloxavir acid revealed multicompartment behavior with a long half‐life (80.8–98.3 h), demonstrating a dose‐proportional increase. Baloxavir acid reached peak plasma concentration from 3.5 to 4.0 h postdosing. Body weight was identified as a significant covariate of apparent oral clearance and apparent volume of distribution, which was similar to that observed in Japanese subjects. Body weight‐adjusted analysis revealed that exposure to baloxavir acid did not significantly differ between Korean and Japanese subjects. Simulated exposures to baloxavir acid demonstrated that the body weight‐based dosing regimen for baloxavir marboxil was appropriate. Based on a PK study, clinical data including dosing regimen developed in Japan were adequately extrapolated to Korea, supporting the approval of baloxavir marboxil in Korean as a new treatment option for influenza.

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 widely used alkylating agent cyclophosphamide (CY) has substantive interpatient variability in the area under the curve (AUC) of it and its metabolites. Numerous factors may influence the drug‐metabolizing enzymes that metabolize CY to 4‐hydroxycyclophosphamide (4HCY), the principal precursor to CY’s cytotoxic metabolite. We sought to identify endogenous metabolomics compounds (EMCs) associated with 4HCY formation clearance (ratio of 4HCY/CY AUC) using global metabolomics. Patients who undergo hematopoietic cell transplantation receiving post‐transplant CY (PT‐CY) were enrolled, cohort 1 (n = 26) and cohort 2 (n = 25) donating longitudinal blood samples before they started HCT (pre‐HCT), before infusion of the donor allograft (pre‐graft), before the first dose of PT‐CY (pre‐CY), and 24 h after the first dose of PT‐CY (24‐h post‐CY), which is also immediately before the second dose of CY. A total of 512 and 498 EMCs were quantitated in two cohorts, respectively. Both univariate linear regression with false discovery rate (FDR), and pathway enrichment analyses using a global association test were performed. At the pre‐CY time point, no EMCs were associated at FDR less than 0.1. At pre‐HCT, cohort 1 had one EMC (levoglucosan) survive the FDR threshold. At pre‐graft, cohort 1 and cohort 2 had 20 and 13 EMCs, respectively, exhibiting unadjusted p values less than 0.05, with the only EMCs having an FDR less than 0.1 being two unknown EMCs. At 24‐h post‐CY, there were three EMCs, two ketones, and threitol, at FDR less than 0.1 in cohort 2. These results demonstrate the potential of pharmacometabonomics, but future studies in larger samples are needed to optimize CY. Study Highlights

Polypharmacy is a serious concern in general practice, especially among elder patients; however, the evidence showing significantly poor renal outcomes is not sufficient. This survey was performed to evaluate the effect of polypharmacy on the incidence of the renal composite outcome among a sample of patients with sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) treatment. We assessed 624 Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease who received SGLT2i treatment for greater than 1 year. The patients were classified as those with concomitant treatment, that was limited to the medications for hypertension, T2DM, and dyslipidemia, with greater than or equal to seven medications (n = 110) and those with less than seven medications (n = 514). Evaluation of the renal composite outcome was performed by propensity score matching and stratification into quintiles. A subgroup analysis of patients of greater than or equal to 62 years of age and less than 62 years of age was also performed. The incidence of the renal composite outcome was larger in patients with greater than or equal to seven medications than in those with less than seven medications in the propensity score‐matched cohort model (6% vs. 17%, respectively, p = 0.007) and also in the quintile‐stratified analysis (odds ratio [OR], 2.23, 95% confidence interval [CI, 1.21–4.12, p = 0.01). The quintile‐stratified analysis of patients of less than 62 years of age—but not those of greater than or equal to 62 years of age—also showed a significant difference (OR, 3.29, 95% CI, 1.41–7.69, p = 0.006). Polypharmacy appears to be associated to the incidence of the renal composite outcome, especially in young patients. Study Highlights

Nausea, vomiting, and renal injury are the common adverse effects associated with cisplatin. Cisplatin is excreted via the multidrug and toxin release (MATE) transporter, and the involvement of the MATE transporter in cisplatin‐induced kidney injury has been reported. The MATE transporter is also involved in the excretion of ondansetron, but the effects of 5‐HT3 receptor antagonists used clinically for cisplatin‐induced renal injury have not been elucidated. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 5‐HT3 receptor antagonists in a mouse model of cisplatin‐induced kidney injury and to validate the results using medical big data analysis of more than 1.4 million reports and a survey of 3000 hospital medical records. The concomitant use of a first‐generation 5‐HT3 receptor antagonist (ondansetron, granisetron, or ramosetron) significantly increased cisplatin accumulation in the kidneys and worsened renal damage. Conversely, the concomitant use of palonosetron had no effect on renal function compared with the use of cisplatin alone. Furthermore, an analysis of data from the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System and retrospective medical records revealed that the combination treatment of cisplatin and a first‐generation 5‐HT3 receptor antagonist significantly increased the number of reported renal adverse events compared with the combination treatment of cisplatin and a second‐generation 5‐HT3 receptor antagonist. These results suggest that compared with the first‐generation antagonists, second‐generation 5‐HT3 receptor antagonists do not worsen cisplatin‐induced acute kidney injury. The findings should be validated in a prospective controlled trial before implementation in clinical practice. Study Highlights

The immunosuppressant drug azathioprine is associated with a 4% risk of acute pancreatitis in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Studies have demonstrated an increased risk in carriers of HLA‐DQA1*02:01 and HLA‐DRB1*07:01. We investigated whether these human leukocyte antigen (HLA) types were associated with azathioprine‐induced pancreatitis also in Swedish patients with IBD, and whether the type of disease affected the association. Nineteen individuals with IBD who developed acute pancreatitis after initiation of azathioprine were genotyped and compared with a population control cohort (n = 4891) and a control group matched for disease (n = 81). HLA‐DQA1*02:01 and HLA‐DRB1*07:01 were in full linkage disequilibrium, and were significantly associated with acute pancreatitis both when cases were compared with population controls (OR 3.97 [95% CI 1.57–9.97], p = 0.0035) and matched controls (OR 3.55 [95% CI 1.23–10.98], p = 0.0275). In a disease‐specific analysis, the correlation was positive in patients with Crohn''s disease versus matched controls (OR 9.27 [95% CI 1.86–46.19], p = 0.0066), but not in those with ulcerative colitis versus matched controls (OR 0.69 [95% CI 0.07–6.74], p = 0.749). In patients with Crohn''s disease, we estimated the conditional risk of carriers of HLA‐DQA1*02:01‐HLA‐DRB1*07:01 to 7.3%, and the conditional risk of a non‐carrier to 2.2%. We conclude that HLA‐DQA1*02:01‐HLA‐DRB1*07:01 is a marker for increased risk of acute pancreatitis in individuals of Swedish genetic origin, treated with azathioprine for Crohn''s disease.
