Human milk is the optimal infant nutrition. However, although human‐derived metabolites (such as lipids and oligosaccharides) in human milk are regularly reported, the presence of exogenous chemicals (such as drugs, food, and synthetic compounds) are often not addressed. To understand the types of exogenous compounds that might be present, human milk (n = 996) was analyzed by untargeted metabolomics. This analysis revealed that lifestyle molecules, such as medications and their metabolites, and industrial sources, such as plasticizers, cosmetics, and other personal care products, are found in human milk. We provide further evidence that some of these lifestyle molecules are also detectable in the newborn''s stool. Thus, this study gives important insight into the types of exposures infants receiving human milk might ingest due to the lifestyle choices, exposure, or medical status of the lactating parent.

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

Clinical pharmacology is an integral discipline supporting the development, regulatory evaluation, and clinical use of drugs for the treatment of both common and rare diseases. Here, we evaluated the recommendations and information available from select clinical pharmacology studies in the therapeutic product labeling of new molecular entities (NMEs) approved from 2017 to 2019 for both common and rare diseases. A total of 151 NMEs, including 72 orphan and 79 non‐orphan drugs, were analyzed for recommendations and information available related to food–drug interaction, drug–drug interaction, renal impairment, hepatic impairment, QT assessment, and human radiolabeled mass balance studies using data collected from the original labeling and other regulatory documents. The analysis showed no statistically significant difference in the recommendations between orphan and non‐orphan drugs except for renal impairment related recommendations in section 8 of the labeling. Although not significant, fewer hepatic impairment labeling recommendations were available for orphan drugs when compared with non‐orphan drugs. At the time of initial approval, 79 postmarketing requirements (PMRs) and postmarketing commitments (PMCs) for 33 orphan drugs and 39 PMRs and PMCs for 19 non‐orphan drugs were established; with most difference observed for drug–drug interaction, hepatic impairment, and QT assessment. Overall, although there was a trend for more labeling recommendations and fewer postmarketing studies and clinical trials for non‐orphan drugs, there appeared to be no substantial differences in how these select clinical pharmacology studies are leveraged during the development and approval of orphan and non‐orphan drugs.

Monitoring the occurrence of adverse events in the scientific literature is a mandatory process in drug marketing surveillance. This is a very time‐consuming and complex task to fulfill the compliance and, most importantly, to ensure patient safety. Therefore, a machine learning (ML) algorithm has been trained to support this manual intellectual review process, by automatically providing a classification of the literature articles into two types. An algorithm has been designed to automatically classify “relevant articles” which are reporting any kind of drug safety relevant information, and those which are not reporting an adverse drug reaction as “not relevant.” The review process is consisted of many rules and aspects which needed to be taken into consideration. Therefore, for the training of the algorithm, thousands of documents from previous screenings have been used. After several iterations of adjustments and fine tuning, the ML approach is definitively a great achievement in pre‐sorting the articles into “relevant” and “non‐relevant” and supporting the intellectual review process.

Cisplatin is effective against many types of carcinoma. However, a high rate of renal damage is a clinical problem. Thus, there is a need to establish a method to prevent it. Although various compounds have been reported to be effective against cisplatin‐induced renal injury, there are no examples of their clinical application. Therefore, we attempted to search for prophylactic agents with a high potential for clinical application. We used Cascade Eye to identify genes that are altered during cisplatin‐induced renal injury, Library of Integrated Network‐based Cellular Signatures (LINCS) to identify drugs that inhibit changes in gene expression, and a large database of spontaneous adverse drug reaction reports to identify drugs that could prevent cisplatin‐induced kidney injury in clinical practice. In total, 10 candidate drugs were identified. Using the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), we identified drugs that reduce cisplatin‐induced kidney injury. Fenofibrate was selected as a candidate drug to prevent cisplatin‐induced kidney injury based on the FAERS analysis. A model was used to evaluate the efficacy of fenofibrate against cisplatin‐induced renal injury. Studies using HK2 cells and mouse models showed that fenofibrate significantly inhibited cisplatin‐induced renal injury but did not inhibit the antitumor effect of cisplatin. Fenofibrate is a candidate prophylactic drug with high clinical applicability for cisplatin‐induced renal injury. Analysis of data from multiple big databases will improve the search for novel prophylactic drugs with high clinical applicability. For the practical application of these findings, evaluation in prospective controlled trials is necessary. Study Highlights

Pediatric urolithiasis is a common urologic disease with high morbidity and recurrence rates. Recent studies have shown that metabolic dysfunction plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of urolithiasis, especially in children, but the specific mechanism is still unclear. Metabolomics is an ideal technology for exploring the mechanism of metabolic disorders in urolithiasis. In the present study, a serum metabolomics based on ultra‐performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry was performed. A total of 50 children subjects were recruited for the study, including 30 patients with kidney stones and 20 normal controls (NCs). Principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least‐squares determinant analysis were carried, and 40 metabolites were found to be significantly altered in patients with kidney stones, mainly involving retinol metabolism, steroid hormone biosynthesis, and porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism. The kidney stone group appeared to have a lower serum level of bilirubin, but a relative higher level of retinal, all‐transretinoic acid, progesterone, and prostaglandin E2 compared with those of the NC group. All the findings suggest that patients with urolithiasis have several metabolic characteristics, which are related to stone formation or compensation. These metabolites and pathways are very likely associated with development of kidney stones and should be considered as potential novel targets for treatment and prevention. Study Highlights

Pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing may be particularly beneficial in medically underserved populations by reducing the number of appointments required to optimize drug therapy and increasing the effectiveness of less expensive off‐patent drugs. The objective of this study was to identify patient populations with poor health care access and assess prescribing trends for drugs with published PGx testing guidelines. We used electronic health record data from 67,753 University of Florida Health patients, geographic access scores calculated via the 2‐step floating catchment area method, and a composite measure of socioeconomic status. Comparing the poorest (Q4) and greatest (Q1) access score quartiles, poor geographic access was significantly associated with fewer prescriber encounters (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 0.88, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.86–0.91), fewer total unique drugs (IRR 0.92, 95% CI 0.9–0.95), and fewer PGx guideline drugs (IRR 0.94, 95% CI 0.9–0.99). After correcting for number of unique drugs, patients in low‐access areas were prescribed a greater proportion of PGx guideline drugs (IRR 1.08, 95% CI 1.04–1.13). We detected significant interactions between Black race and access score. Compared to Q1, Black patients with Q4 access scores were disproportionately affected and had fewer encounters (IRR 0.76, 95% CI 0.7–0.82) and a higher proportion of PGx drugs (IRR 1.26, 95% CI 1.13–1.41), creating further disparity. Overall, these results suggest that improved geographic access to PGx testing may allow prescribers to make more efficient use of limited opportunities to optimize therapy for drugs with PGx testing guidelines.

Drug safety is generally established from clinical trials, by pharmacovigilance programs and during observational phase IV safety studies according to drug intended or approved indications. The objective of this study was to estimate the risk of potential adverse drug events (ADEs) associated with drugs repurposed for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) treatment in a large‐scale population. Drug claims were used to calculate a baseline medication risk score (MRS) indicative of ADE risk level. Fictitious claims of repurposed drugs were added, one at a time, to patients’ drug regimens to calculate a new MRS and compute a level of risk. Drug claims data from enrollees with Regence health insurance were used and sub‐payer analyses were performed with Medicare and commercial insured groups. Simulated interventions were conducted with hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, alone or combined with azithromycin, and lopinavir/ritonavir, along with terfenadine and fexofenadine as positive and negative controls for drug‐induced Long QT Syndrome (LQTS). There were 527,471 subjects (56.6% women; mean [SD] age, 47 years [21]) were studied. The simulated addition of each repurposed drug caused an increased risk of ADEs (median MRS increased by two‐to‐seven points, p < 0.001). The increase in ADE risk was mainly driven by an increase in CYP450 drug interaction risk score and by drug‐induced LQTS risk score. The Medicare group presented a greater risk overall compared to the commercial group. All repurposed drugs were associated with an increased risk of ADEs. Our simulation strategy could be used as a blueprint to preemptively assess safety associated with future repurposed or new drugs. Study Highlights

Interstitial lung disease (ILD), as an adverse effect of certain drugs, leads to inflammation and damage in the walls of the alveoli, making it difficult for the alveoli to take up oxygen. Interstitial pneumonia with no identifiable cause is called idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP), and, among the major IIPs, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is diagnosed in about half of patients. Current treatment options are limited, among which the antifibrotic drugs nintedanib (Ofev) and pirfenidone (Pirespa) are the first‐line drugs. In this study, we investigated the incidence of ILD possibly caused by antifibrotic agents using data from the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report (JADER) database, a database of spontaneous adverse event reports published by the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA), and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), published by the FDA. We used the FAERS and JADER to detect the signals of adverse events on the basis of reporting odds ratios. The relationship between indications and adverse events was clarified by separating indications and adverse events using the spontaneous adverse event reporting database with novel drug involvement. Regarding the involvement of nintedanib and pirfenidone in the development of ILD, JADER and FAERS showed signals for both nintedanib and pirfenidone as suspect drugs, and no signals for nintedanib or pirfenidone as concomitant drug interactions were detected. We highlight this because there are only a few effective drugs for IPF, and effective and safe drug therapies should be implemented by taking into consideration drug‐induced ILD.Study Highlights

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of expedited regulatory approval programs used by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA), type of product (small molecule or biotechnology‐derived product) and consulting scientific advisory committees on the regulatory review time of the marketing authorization applications (MAAs) for new anticancer drugs. A dataset composed of 76 new anticancer drugs was constructed. The date of submission of the MAAs in the United States and the European Union were comparable. The typical review time of MAAs was 136 days shorter in the United States (201 days [median]) than in the European Union (337 days [median]). The type of product did not have a high impact on the review time. The review time of the MAAs for drugs undergoing priority review in the United States or accelerated assessment in the European Union at the stage of review of MAA was generally shorter than that for drugs following the standard regulatory pathway. The regulatory pathway using at least one expedited regulatory program at the stages of drug development, review of MAA, and approval of drug in the United States (172 days [median]), and that at the stages of review of MAA and approval of drug in the European Union (183 days [median]) enabled the shortest review time of MAAs. Referral to advisory committee meeting increased the review time of MAAs for drugs undergoing one or more expedited regulatory approval programs in the United States and the European Union close to that for drugs undergoing the standard regulatory approval pathway.Study Highlights

The primary goal of precision medicine is to maximize the benefit‐risk relationships for individual patients by delivering the right drug to the right patients at the right dose. To achieve this goal, it has become increasingly important to assess gene‐drug interactions (GDIs) in clinical settings. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) periodically updates the table of pharmacogenetic/genomic (PGx) biomarkers in drug labeling on their website. As described herein, an effort was made to categorize various PGx biomarkers covered by the FDA‐PGx table into certain groups. There were 2 major groups, oncology molecular targets (OMT) and drug‐metabolizing enzymes and transporters (DMETs), which constitute ~70% of all biomarkers (~33% and ~35%, respectively). These biomarkers were further classified whether their labeling languages could be actionable in clinical practice. For OMT biomarkers, ~70% of biomarkers are considered actionable in clinical practice as they are critical for the selection of appropriate drugs to individual patients. In contrast, ~30% of DMET biomarkers are considered actionable for the dose adjustments or alternative therapies in specific populations, such as CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 poor metabolizers. In addition, the GDI results related to some of the other OMT and DMET biomarkers are considered to provide valuable information to clinicians. However, clinical GDI results on the other DMET biomarkers can possibly be used more effectively for dose recommendation. As the labels of some drugs already recommend the precise doses in specific populations, it will be desirable to have clear language for dose recommendation of other (or new) drugs if appropriate.

To improve predictions of concentration‐time (C‐t) profiles of drugs, a new physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling framework (termed ‘PermQ’) has been developed. This model includes permeability into and out of capillaries, cell membranes, and intracellular lipids. New modeling components include (i) lumping of tissues into compartments based on both blood flow and capillary permeability, and (ii) parameterizing clearances in and out of membranes with apparent permeability and membrane partitioning values. Novel observations include the need for a shallow distribution compartment particularly for bases. C‐t profiles were modeled for 24 drugs (7 acidic, 5 neutral, and 12 basic) using the same experimental inputs for three different models: Rodgers and Rowland (RR), a perfusion‐limited membrane‐based model (Kp,mem), and PermQ. Kp,mem and PermQ can be directly compared since both models have identical tissue partition coefficient parameters. For the 24 molecules used for model development, errors in Vss and t 1/2 were reduced by 37% and 43%, respectively, with the PermQ model. Errors in C‐t profiles were reduced (increased EOC) by 43%. The improvement was generally greater for bases than for acids and neutrals. Predictions were improved for all 3 models with the use of parameters optimized for the PermQ model. For five drugs in a test set, similar results were observed. These results suggest that prediction of C‐t profiles can be improved by including capillary and cellular permeability components for all tissues. Study Highlights

This study determined absolute transporter protein abundances in isolated microvessels of human noncancerous cerebral cortex as well as brain metastases of patients with lung and breast cancer, using a validated targeted proteomics approach. As compared with those in microvessels of noncancerous cerebral cortex, the median protein abundances of glucose transporter 1 (a brain endothelial marker) and sodium‐potassium pump (Na/K ATPase, a plasma membrane marker) were decreased by ~ 80% in brain metastasis microvessels. The major efflux transporters (ABCB1 and ABCG2) fell to undetectable in microvessels of more than 80% of brain metastasis specimens. Monocarboxylate transporter 1 was undetectable in microvessels of more than 80% of brain metastases, whereas large neutral amino acid transporter 1 levels remained unchanged. In conclusion, the integrity of the physical and biochemical barrier with respect to transporter protein expression is largely disrupted in brain metastasis tumor vasculatures. Differential transporter protein abundances at the blood‐brain barrier and blood‐brain tumor barrier provided mechanistic and quantitative basis for prediction of heterogeneous drug penetration into human brain and brain tumors, which is critical not only to the understanding of the success or failure of systemic chemotherapy in the treatment of brain tumors but also to the development of more effective therapeutic strategies.

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.

An accurate understanding of the changes in height and weight of children with age is critical to the development of models predicting drug concentrations in children (i.e., physiologically‐based pharmacokinetic models). However, curves describing the growth of a typical population of children may not accurately characterize growth of children with various conditions, such as obesity. Therefore, to develop height and weight versus age growth curves for youth who were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, we extracted data from electronic medical records. Robust nonlinear models were parameterized to the equations describing height and weight versus age as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). CDC z‐scores were calculated using an internal program. The growth curves and z‐scores were compared to CDC norms. Youth with type 2 diabetes were increasingly heavier than CDC norms from early childhood. Except for a period around puberty, youth with type 2 diabetes were, on average, shorter than CDC norms, resulting in shorter average adult height. Deviations in growth were apparent in youth who develop type 2 diabetes; such deviations may be expected for other conditions as well, and disease‐specific growth curves should be considered during development of model‐informed drug development for pediatric conditions.

Following a decision to require label warnings for concurrent use of opioids and benzodiazepines and increased risk of respiratory depression and death, the US Food and Drug Administratioin (FDA) recognized that other sedative psychotropic drugs may be substituted for benzodiazepines and be used concurrently with opioids. In some cases, data on the ability of these alternatives to depress respiration alone or in conjunction with an opioid are lacking. A nonclinical in vivo model was developed that could detect worsening respiratory depression when a benzodiazepine (diazepam) was used in combination with an opioid (oxycodone) compared to the opioid alone based on an increased arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2). The current study used that model to assess the impact on respiration of non‐benzodiazepine sedative psychotropic drugs representative of different drug classes (clozapine, quetiapine, risperidone, zolpidem, trazodone, carisoprodol, cyclobenzaprine, mirtazapine, topiramate, paroxetine, duloxetine, ramelteon, and suvorexant) administered alone and with oxycodone. At clinically relevant exposures, paroxetine, trazodone, and quetiapine given with oxycodone significantly increased pCO2 above the oxycodone effect. Analyses indicated that most pCO2 interaction effects were due to pharmacokinetic interactions resulting in increased oxycodone exposure. Increased pCO2 recorded with oxycodone‐paroxetine co‐administration exceeded expected effects from only drug exposure suggesting another mechanism for the increased pharmacodynamic response. This study identified drug‐drug interaction effects depressing respiration in an animal model when quetiapine or paroxetine were co‐administered with oxycodone. Clinical pharmacodynamic drug interaction studies are being conducted with these drugs to assess translatability of these findings. Study Highlights

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a rare, potentially life‐threatening, delayed, drug‐induced hypersensitivity reaction. Immediate withdrawal of the culprit drug and administration of systemic corticosteroids is the most widely accepted treatment. However, it is difficult to manage patients with DRESS syndrome who are not responsive to systemic steroids. We studied the efficacy of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIGs) in patients with DRESS syndrome unresponsive to systemic steroids. We retrospectively reviewed patients with DRESS syndrome who received IVIG in addition to systemic steroids during 2012–2017 and compared the clinical features and course of DRESS syndrome, before and after IVIG treatment. Eighteen DRESS patients (9 men) were included. The most frequent offending drugs were dapsone in five patients, followed by vancomycin in three patients, and carbamazepine in three patients. Rash, fever, lymphadenopathy, atypical lymphocytes, and hepatic involvement were common clinical findings. IVIG treatment was added within a median time of 7 days from the commencement of systemic steroid therapy. After IVIG treatment (total dosage: 1–2 g/kg), the fever resolved within a median time of 1 day (range, 0–3) and liver enzymes improved substantially within a median time of 13 days (range, 0–27). No severe adverse reactions related to IVIG therapy were observed in this study; however, there was one case of mortality. The addition of IVIG in DRESS syndrome in cases refractory to systemic steroid treatment may be helpful in hastening recovery. However, comparative studies using a placebo group are needed.
