ABSTRACT

pH-mediated drug-drug interactions (DDI) is a prevalent DDI in drug development, especially for weak base compounds with highly pH-dependent solubility. FDA has released a guidance on the evaluation of pH-mediated DDI assessments using in vitro testing and clinical studies. Currently, there is no common practice of ways of testing across the academia and industry. The development of biopredictive method and physiologically-based biopharmaceutics modeling (PBBM) approaches to assess acid-reducing agent (ARA)-DDI have been proven with accurate prediction and could decrease drug development burden, inform clinical design and potentially waive clinical studies. Formulation strategies and careful clinical design could help mitigate the pH-mediated DDI to avoid more clinical studies and label restrictions, ultimately benefiting the patient. In this review paper, a detailed introduction on biorelevant dissolution testing, preclinical and clinical study requirement and PBPK modeling approaches to assess ARA-DDI are described. An improved decision tree for pH-mediated DDI is proposed. Potential mitigations including clinical or formulation strategies are discussed.

ABSTRACT

Physiologically based biopharmaceutics modeling (PBBM) is used to elevate drug product quality by providing a more accurate and holistic understanding of how drugs interact with the human body. These models are based on the integration of physiological, pharmacological, and pharmaceutical data to simulate and predict drug behavior in vivo. Effective utilization of PBBM requires a consistent approach to model development, verification, validation, and application. Currently, only one country has a draft guidance document for PBBM, whereas other major regulatory authorities have had limited experience with the review of PBBM. To address this gap, industry submitted confidential PBBM case studies to be reviewed by the regulatory agencies; software companies committed to training. PBBM cases were independently and collaboratively discussed by regulators, and academic colleagues participated in some of the discussions. Successful bioequivalence "safe space" industry case examples are also presented. Overall, six regulatory agencies were involved in the case study exercises, including ANVISA, FDA, Health Canada, MHRA, PMDA, and EMA (experts from Belgium, Germany, Norway, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden), and we believe this is the first time such a collaboration has taken place. The outcomes were presented at this workshop, together with a participant survey on the utility and experience with PBBM submissions, to discuss the best scientific practices for developing, validating, and applying PBBMs. The PBBM case studies enabled industry to receive constructive feedback from global regulators and highlighted clear direction for future PBBM submissions for regulatory consideration.

ABSTRACT

This report summarizes the proceedings for Day 1 Session 3 of the 2-day public workshop entitled "Best Practices for Utilizing Modeling Approaches to Support Generic Product Development," a jointly sponsored workshop by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Center for Research on Complex Generics (CRCG) in the year 2022. The aims of this workshop were to discuss how to modernize approaches for efficiently demonstrating bioequivalence (BE), to establish their role in modern paradigms of generic drug development, and to explore and develop best practices for the use of modeling and simulation approaches in regulatory submissions and approval. The theme of this session is mechanistic modeling approaches supporting BE assessments for oral drug products. As a summary, with more successful cases of PBPK absorption modeling being developed and shared, the general strategies/frameworks on using PBPK for oral products are being formed; this will help further evolvement of this area. In addition, the early communications between the industry and the agency through appropriate pathways (e.g., pre-abbreviated new drug applications (pre-ANDA) meetings) are encouraged, and this will speed up the successful development and utility of PBPK modeling for oral products.

ABSTRACT

The number of modeling and simulation applications, including physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models, physiologically based biopharmaceutics modeling (PBBM), and empirical models, has been constantly increasing along with the regulatory acceptance of these methodologies. While aiming at minimizing unnecessary human testing, these methodologies are used today to support the development and approval of novel drug products and generics. Modeling approaches are leveraged today for assessing drug-drug interaction, informing dose adjustments in renally or hepatically impaired patients, perform dose selection in pediatrics and pregnant women and diseased populations, and conduct biopharmaceutics-related assessments such as establish clinically relevant specifications for drug products and achieve quality assurance throughout the product life cycle. In the generics space, PBPK analyses are utilized toward virtual bioequivalence assessments within the scope of alternative bioequivalence approaches, product-specific guidance development, and food effect assessments among others. Case studies highlighting the evolving and expanding role of modeling and simulation approaches within the biopharmaceutics space were presented at the symposium titled "Model Informed Drug Development (MIDD): Role in Dose Selection, Vulnerable Populations, and Biowaivers - Chemical Entities" and Prologue "PBPK/PBBM to inform the Bioequivalence Safe Space, Food Effects, and pH-mediated DDIs" at the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) PharmSci 360 Annual Meeting in Boston, MA, on October 16-19, 2022, and are summarized here.

ABSTRACT

Current regulatory guidelines on drug-food interactions recommend an early assessment of food effect to inform clinical dosing instructions, as well as a pivotal food effect study on the to-be-marketed formulation if different from that used in earlier trials. Study waivers are currently only granted for BCS class 1 drugs. Thus, repeated food effect studies are prevalent in clinical development, with the initial evaluation conducted as early as the first-in-human studies. Information on repeated food effect studies is not common in the public domain. The goal of the work presented in this manuscript from the Food Effect PBPK IQ Working Group was to compile a dataset on these studies across pharmaceutical companies and provide recommendations on their conduct. Based on 54 studies collected, we report that most of the repeat food effect studies do not result in meaningful differences in the assessment of the food effect. Seldom changes observed were more than twofold. There was no clear relationship between the change in food effect and the formulation change, indicating that in most cases, once a compound is formulated appropriately within a specific formulation technology, the food effect is primarily driven by inherent compound properties. Representative examples of PBPK models demonstrate that following appropriate validation of the model with the initial food effect study, the models can be applied to future formulations. We recommend that repeat food effect studies should be approached on a case-by-case basis taking into account the totality of the evidence including the use of PBPK modeling.

ABSTRACT

During the write-up of the meeting summary reports from the 2019 dissolution similarity workshop held at the University of Maryland's Center of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation (M-CERSI), several coauthors continued their discussions to develop a "best-practice" document defining the steps required to assess dissolution profiles in support of certain biowaivers and postapproval changes. In previous reports, current challenges related to dissolution profile studies were discussed such that the steps outlined in the two flow charts ("decision trees") presented here can be applied. These decision trees include both recommendations for the use of equivalence procedures between reference and test products as well as application of the dissolution safe space concept. Common approaches towards establishing dissolution safe spaces are described. This paper encourages the preparation of protocols clearly describing why and how testing is performed along with the expected pass/fail criteria prior to generating data on the materials to be evaluated. The target audience of this manuscript includes CMC regulatory scientists, laboratory analysts, as well as statisticians from industry and regulatory health agencies involved in the assessment of product quality via in vitro dissolution testing. Building upon previous publications, this manuscript provides a solution to the current ambiguity related to dissolution profile comparison. The principles outlined in this and previous manuscripts provide a basis for global regulatory alignment in the application of dissolution profile assessment to support manufacturing changes and biowaiver requests.

ABSTRACT

Long-acting injectable (LAI) formulations can provide several advantages over the more traditional oral formulation as drug product opportunities. LAI formulations can achieve sustained drug release for extended periods of time, which results in less frequent dosing requirements leading to higher patient adherence and more optimal therapeutic outcomes. This review article will provide an industry perspective on the development and associated challenges of long-acting injectable formulations. The LAIs described herein include polymer-based formulations, oil-based formulations, and crystalline drug suspensions. The review discusses manufacturing processes, including quality controls, considerations of the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API), biopharmaceutical properties and clinical requirements pertaining to LAI technology selection, and characterization of LAIs through in vitro, in vivo and in silico approaches. Lastly, the article includes a discussion around the current lack of suitable compendial and biorelevant in vitro models for the evaluation of LAIs and its subsequent impact on LAI product development and approval.

ABSTRACT

Physiologically based pharmacokinetic and absorption modeling has increasingly been implemented for biopharmaceutics applications to define the safe space for drug product quality attributes such as dissolution. For fevipiprant/QAW039, simulations were performed to assess the impact of in vitro dissolution on the in vivo performance of immediate-release film-coated tablets during development and scaling up to commercial scale. A fevipiprant dissolution safe space was established using observed clinical intravenous and oral PK data from bioequivalent and non-bioequivalent formulations. Quality control dissolution profiles with tablets were used as GastroPlus™ model inputs to estimate the in vivo dissolution in the gastrointestinal tract and to simulate human exposure. The model was used to evaluate the intraluminal performance of the dosage forms and to predict the absorption rate limits for the 450 mg dose. The predictive model performance was demonstrated for various oral dosage forms (150‒500 mg), including the non-bioequivalent batches in fasted healthy adults. To define the safe space at 450 mg, simulations were performed using theoretical dissolution profiles. A specification of Q = 80% dissolved in 60 min or less for an immediate-release oral solid dosage form reflected the boundaries of the safe space. The dissolution profile of the 450 mg commercial scale batch was within a dissolution region where bioequivalence is anticipated, not near an edge of failure for dissolution, providing additional confidence to the proposed acceptance criteria. Thus, the safe space allowed for a wider than 10% dissolution difference for bioequivalent batches, superseding f2 similarity analyses.

ABSTRACT

For successful oral drug development, defining a bioequivalence (BE) safe space is critical for the identification of newer bioequivalent formulations or for setting of clinically relevant in vitro specifications to ensure drug product quality. By definition, the safe space delineates the dissolution profile boundaries or other drug product quality attributes, within which the drug product variants are anticipated to be bioequivalent. Defining a BE safe space with physiologically based biopharmaceutics model (PBBM) allows the establishment of mechanistic in vitro and in vivo relationships (IVIVR) to better understand absorption mechanism and critical bioavailability attributes (CBA). Detailed case studies on how to use PBBM to establish a BE safe space for both innovator and generic drugs are described. New case studies and literature examples demonstrate BE safe space applications such as how to set in vitro dissolution/particle size distribution (PSD) specifications, widen dissolution specification to supersede f2 tests, or application toward a scale-up and post-approval changes (SUPAC) biowaiver. A workflow for detailed PBBM set-up and common clinical study data requirements to establish the safe space and knowledge space are discussed. Approaches to model in vitro dissolution profiles i.e. the diffusion layer model (DLM), Takano and Johnson models or the fitted PSD and Weibull function are described with a decision tree. The conduct of parameter sensitivity analyses on kinetic dissolution parameters for safe space and virtual bioequivalence (VBE) modeling for innovator and generic drugs are shared. The necessity for biopredictive dissolution method development and challenges with PBBM development and acceptance criteria are described.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Islatravir (MK-8591) is a deoxyadenosine analog in development for the treatment and prevention of HIV-1 infection. An islatravir-eluting implant could provide an additional option for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). SETTING: Previous data support a threshold islatravir triphosphate concentration for PrEP of 0.05 pmol/10 6 cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Prototype islatravir-eluting implants were previously studied to establish general tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PKs) of islatravir relative to the threshold level. METHODS: In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 1 trial, a next-generation radiopaque islatravir-eluting implant (48 mg, 52 mg, or 56 mg) or placebo implant was placed for a duration of 12 weeks in participants at low risk of HIV infection. Safety and tolerability, as well as PK for islatravir parent and islatravir triphosphate from plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells, were assessed throughout placement and 8 weeks after removal. RESULTS: In total, 36 participants (8 active and 4 placebo per dose arm) were enrolled and completed this study. Implants were generally well tolerated, with no discontinuations due to an adverse event, and no clear dose-dependence in implant-related adverse events. No clinically meaningful relationships were observed for changes in laboratory values, vital signs, or electrocardiogram assessments. Mean islatravir triphosphate levels at day 85 (0.101-0.561 pmol/10 6  cells) were above the PK threshold for all dose levels. CONCLUSION: Islatravir administered using a subdermal implant has the potential to be an effective and well-tolerated method for administering PrEP to individuals at risk of acquiring HIV-1.

ABSTRACT

This report summarizes the proceedings for day 2 sessions 1 and 3 of the 2-day public workshop entitled "Regulatory Utility of Mechanistic Modeling to Support Alternative Bioequivalence Approaches," a jointly sponsored workshop by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Center for Research on Complex Generics (CRCG). The aims of this workshop were: (1) to discuss how mechanistic modeling, including physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling and simulation, can support product development, and regulatory submissions; (2) to share the current state of mechanistic modeling for bioequivalence (BE) assessment through case studies; (3) to establish a consensus on best practices for using PBPK modeling for BE assessment to help drive further investment by the generic drug industry into mechanistic modeling and simulation; and (4) to introduce the concept of a Model Master File to improve model-sharing. The theme of day 2 covered PBPK absorption model for oral products as an alternative BE approach and a tool for supporting risk assessment and biowaiver (session 1), oral PBPK for evaluating the impact of food on BE (session 2), successful cases, and challenges for oral PBPK (session 3). This report summarizes the topics of the presentations of day 2 sessions 1 and session 3 from FDA, academia, and pharmaceutical industry, including the current status of oral PBPK, case examples as well as the challenges and opportunities in this area. In addition, panel discussions on the utility of oral PBPK in both new drugs and generic drugs from regulatory and industry perspective are also summarized.

ABSTRACT

Several regulatory guidances on the use of physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) analyses and physiologically based biopharmaceutics model(s) (PBBM(s)) have been issued. Workshops are routinely held, demonstrating substantial interest in applying these modeling approaches to address scientific questions in drug development. PBPK models and PBBMs have remarkably contributed to model-informed drug development (MIDD) such as anticipating clinical PK outcomes affected by extrinsic and intrinsic factors in general and specific populations. In this review, we proposed practical considerations for a "base" PBPK model construction and development, summarized current status, challenges including model validation and gaps in system models, and future perspectives in PBPK evaluation to assess a) drug metabolizing enzyme(s)- or drug transporter(s)- mediated drug-drug interactions b) dosing regimen prediction, sampling timepoint selection and dose validation in pediatric patients from newborns to adolescents, c) drug exposure in patients with renal and/or and hepatic organ impairment, d) maternal-fetal drug disposition during pregnancy, and e) pH-mediated drug-drug interactions in patients treated with proton pump inhibitors/acid-reducing agents (PPIs/ARAs) intended for gastric protection. Since PBPK can simulate outcomes in clinical studies with enrollment challenges or ethical issues, the impact of PBPK models on waivers and how to strengthen study waiver is discussed.

ABSTRACT

Assessment of bioperformance to inform formulation selection and development decisions is an important aspect of drug development. There is high demand in the pharmaceutical industry to develop an efficient and streamlined approach for better understanding and predicting drug product performance to support acceleration of clinical timelines. This manuscript presents an effort from the IQ Formulation Bioperformance Prediction Working Group composed of members from 12 pharmaceutical companies under the IQ Consortium to develop a database around the topic of formulation bioperformance prediction and report findings from the database analysis. Six case studies described in the manuscript demonstrate how bioperformance models were used to predict in vivo performance and to provide guidance addressing questions encountered during oral solid dosage form development. The case studies also described findings of a correlation between in vitro dissolution and in vivo performance and how dissolution data can be incorporated into physiologically based biopharmaceutical modeling. Finally, a workflow for how in vitro dissolution data can be utilized to predict clinical bioperformance of oral solid dosage forms is proposed.

ABSTRACT

A physiologically based biopharmaceutics model (PBBM) was developed to support formulation development of ribociclib, an orally bioavailable selective CDK4/6 inhibitor. Ribociclib is a weak base with moderate permeability and complete in vitro dissolution under stomach pH. GastroPlus™ was used to simulate the pharmacokinetics (PK) in healthy volunteers after capsule dosing. Simulations showed rapid, complete dissolution in human stomach without intestinal precipitation and with permeation-controlled absorption. Permeability was identified as controlling the systemic exposure. PBBM predicted bioequivalence (BE) between capsule and tablet in healthy volunteers, despite non-similarity between in vitro dissolution kinetics (f2<50). BE was verified in a clinical study. Then virtual bioequivalence (VBE) simulations predicted comparable PK in cancer patients between capsule and tablet of commercial batch, which was also confirmed in a clinical study. Finally, virtual trial simulations using virtual batches with slower dissolution were used to define an in vitro BE safe-space for tablets, where BE is expected. PBBM can identify drugs with permeability-controlled absorption for which formulation optimization can focus more on manufacturability rather than dissolution. PBBM can be used to predict BE study outcomes, define clinically relevant specification and BE safe-space, superseding dissolution similarity f2 criteria.

ABSTRACT

For oral drug products, in vitro dissolution is the most used surrogate of in vivo dissolution and absorption. In the context of drug product quality, safe space is defined as the boundaries of in vitro dissolution, and relevant quality attributes, within which drug product variants are expected to be bioequivalent to each other. It would be highly desirable if the safe space could be established via a direct link between available in vitro data and in vivo pharmacokinetics. In response to the challenges with establishing in vitro-in vivo correlations (IVIVC) with traditional modeling approaches, physiologically based biopharmaceutics modeling (PBBM) has been gaining increased attention. In this manuscript we report five case studies on using PBBM to establish a safe space for BCS Class 2 and 4 across different companies, including applications in an industrial setting for both internal decision making or regulatory applications. The case studies provide an opportunity to reflect on practical vs. ideal datasets for safe space development, the methodologies for incorporating dissolution data in the model and the criteria used for model validation and application. PBBM and safe space, still represent an evolving field and more examples are needed to drive development of best practices.

ABSTRACT

Tizanidine is an alpha2-adrenergic agonist, used to treat spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis and spinal injury. Tizanidine is primarily metabolized by CYP1A2 and is considered a sensitive index substrate for this enzyme. The physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling platform Simcyp® was used to evaluate the impact of CYP1A2 modulation on tizanidine exposure through drug-drug interactions (DDIs) and host-dependent habits (cigarette smoking). A PBPK model was developed to predict tizanidine disposition in healthy volunteers following oral administration. The model was verified based on agreement between model-simulated and clinically observed systemic exposure metrics (Cmax, AUC). The model was then used to carry-out DDI simulations to predict alterations in tizanidine systemic exposure when co-administered with various CYP1A2 perpetrators including competitive inhibitors (fluvoxamine, ciprofloxacin), a mechanism-based inhibitor (rofecoxib), and an inducer (rifampin). Additional simulations were performed to evaluate the impact of cigarette smoking on systemic exposure. Under each scenario, the PBPK model was able to capture the observed fold changes in tizanidine Cmax and AUC of tizanidine when coadministered with CYP1A2 inhibitors or inducers. These results add to the available research findings in the literature on PBPK predictions of drug-drug interactions and illustrate the potential application in drug development, specifically to support product labeling.

ABSTRACT

In this study, the lack of complete drug release from amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs), as observed in most published reports, was investigated. ASDs with 20% ritonavir were prepared by HME using polyvinylpyrrolidone vinyl acetate (PVPVA) alone and in combination with 10% poloxamer 407 or Span 20 as carriers. It was established by the film casting technique that ritonavir was molecularly dispersed in formulations, and accelerated stability testing confirmed that extrudates were physically stable. Dissolution of ASDs (100-mg ritonavir equivalent) was performed in 250 mL 0.01 N HCl (pH 2), pH 6.8 phosphate buffer and FeSSIF-V2. Drug concentrations were measured by filtration through 0.45-µm pores and in unfiltered media; the latter gave total amounts of drug present in dissolution media, both as solution and dispersion. Because of low solubility, ritonavir did not dissolve completely in aqueous media. Rather, it formed supersaturated solutions, and the excess drug dispersed in the oily amorphous form with low particle sizes that could crystallize with time. Due to higher drug solubility, the dissolved drug in FeSSIF-V2 was much higher than that in the phosphate buffer. Complete drug release could be observed by accounting for drug both in solution and as phase-separated dispersion. Thus, the present study provides a complete picture of in vitro drug dissolution and dispersion from ASDs.

ABSTRACT

The predictive performance of physiologically-based pharmacokinetics (PBPK) models for pharmacokinetics (PK) in renal impairment (RI) and hepatic impairment (HI) populations was evaluated using clinical data from 29 compounds with 106 organ impairment study arms were collected from 19 member companies of the International Consortium for Innovation and Quality in Pharmaceutical Development. Fifty RI and 56 HI study arms with varying degrees of organ insufficiency along with control populations were evaluated. For RI, the area under the curve (AUC) ratios of RI to healthy control were predicted within twofold of the observed ratios for > 90% (N = 47/50 arms). For HI, > 70% (N = 43/56 arms) of the hepatically impaired to healthy control AUC ratios were predicted within twofold. Inaccuracies, typically overestimation of AUC ratios, occurred more in moderate and severe HI. PBPK predictions can help determine the need and timing of organ impairment study. It may be suitable for predicting the impact of RI on PK of drugs predominantly cleared by metabolism with varying contribution of renal clearance. PBPK modeling may be used to support mild impairment study waivers or clinical study design.

ABSTRACT

This report summarizes the proceedings for Day 3 of the workshop titled "Current State and Future Expectations of Translational Modeling Strategies toSupportDrug Product Development, Manufacturing Changes and Controls". From a drug product quality perspective, patient-centric product development necessitates the development of clinically relevant drug product specifications (CRDPS). In this regard, Physiologically Based Biopharmaceutics modeling (PBBM) is a viable tool to establish links between in-vitro to in-vivo data, and support with establishing CRDPS. The theme of day 3 was practical applications of PBBM to support drug product quality. In this manuscript, case studies from US FDA, EMA and pharmaceutical industry on applications of PBBM in drug product quality are summarized which include 1) regulatory agency's perspectives on establishing the safe space and achieving study waivers, 2) model-informed risk assessment on the effects of acid reducing agents, bridging of dissolution methods, food effect, and formulation selection, and 3) understanding clinical formulation performance. Breakout session discussions focused on four topics - 1) terminologies related to physiologically based modeling in support of drug product quality, 2) regulatory harmonization on evidentiary standards, 3) CRDPS approaches and 4) bridging between biorelevant and quality control (QC) dissolution methods.
