---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
27 | Ceritinib | 2014 | HI | Minimal effect predicted | No impact on labeling recommendation, PMR to determine HI effect | |
28 | Ibrutinib | 2013 | HI | Significant overestimation compared to interim clinical data | No impact on labeling recommendation, PMR to complete HI study | |
29 | Obeticholic acid | 2016 | HIb | Simulated plasma exposure matched observed parent and metabolite pharmacokinetic profile; predicted significantly smaller HI effect on hepatic exposures than plasma exposures | Helped regulatory recommendations of possible up‐titration for HI patients | |
30 | Simeprevir | 2013 | HI | Significant overestimation compared to interim clinical data | No impact on labeling recommendation, PMR to complete HI study | 27896690 |
Mechanism of nonlinear pharmacokinetics | Saturation of OATP1B and CYP3A explained observed nonlinearity in exposure | No direct labeling impact, contributed to model development to inform DDI simulation | ||||
Ethnic differences in exposure between whites and Asian | Observed plasma exposure difference reproduced with simulation; hepatic drug exposure simulated in different populations | No direct labeling impact |
CYP, cytochrome; DDI, drug‐drug interaction; HI, hepatic impairment; ID, identification; NME, new molecular entity; OATP, organic anion‐transporting polypeptide; PBPK, physiologically based pharmacokinetic; PMR, postmarketing requirement.
The numbers in the Reference column represent PubMed ID (if physiologically based pharmacokinetic [PBPK] models were published in scientific journals). NDA review documents can be found at Drugs@FDA (http://www.fda.gov/drugsatfda).
In‐house custom model built on Phoenix nonlinear mixed effects was used for PBPK simulation. If not specified, Simcyp was used for PBPK simulations.
