RESUMEN
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Voriconazole is an important broad-spectrum anti-fungal drug with nonlinear pharmacokinetics. The aim of this single centre fixed-sequence open-label drug-drug interaction trial in healthy participants (N = 17) was to determine whether microdosed probe drugs for CYP3A and CYP2C19 reliably predict voriconazole clearance (CLVRZ). METHODS: At baseline, a single oral microdose of the paradigm substrates midazolam (CYP3A) and omeprazole (CYP2C19) were given to estimate their clearances (CL). Thereafter, a single oral dose of voriconazole was administered (50, 100, 200 or 400 mg), followed by the microdosed probe drugs. RESULTS: The clearances of midazolam (CLMDZ 790-2790 mL/min at baseline; 248-1316 mL/min during voriconazole) and omeprazole (CLOMZ 66.4-2710 mL/min at baseline; 30.1-1420 mL/min during voriconazole) were highly variable. CLMDZ [geometric mean ratio (GMR) 0.586 at 50 mg voriconazole decreasing to GMR 0.196 at 400 mg voriconazole] and CLOMZ (GMR 0.590 at 50 mg decreasing to GMR 0.166 at 400 mg) were reduced with higher voriconazole doses. CLMDZ was linearly correlated with CLVRZ (slope 1.458; adjusted R2 0.528) as was CLOMZ (slope 0.807; adjusted R2 0.898). Multiple linear regression resulted in an adjusted R2 of 0.997 for the relationship CLVRZ ~ log CLOMZ + log CLMDZ using data during voriconazole treatment and an adjusted R2 of 0.997 for the relationship CLVRZ ~ log CLOMZ + log CLMDZ + voriconazole dose, using baseline data for CLMDZ and CLOMZ. CONCLUSION: Microdosed midazolam and omeprazole accurately described and predicted total CLVRZ TRIAL REGISTRATION: EudraCT No: 2020-001017-20, registered on March 5th, 2020.

Hydroxychloroquine as a weak basic compound with two amines is strongly enriched in cell compartments with low pH, suggesting that modification of gastric pH by coadministered proton pump inhibitors might reduce its solubility and absorption and thus its efficacy in patients. We addressed this question in a single-center, open-label, randomized, parallel drug-drug interaction trial in healthy adults (EudraCT No. 2020-001470-30). All participants received a single oral dose of 400-mg hydroxychloroquine, and one group additionally received 40 mg of pantoprazole once daily for 9 days dosed to steady state. Whole-blood samples were collected for 72 hours, and hydroxychloroquine was quantified by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Primary endpoints were whole-blood hydroxychloroquine areas under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 72 hours (AUC0-72h ) and peak concentrations (Cmax ). Unpaired 2-sided t-tests of the log transformed pharmacokinetic parameters were performed to compare both groups. Twenty-four participants (12 per group) were included. Hydroxychloroquine AUC0-72h and Cmax did not differ between groups without and with pantoprazole (arithmetic mean; AUC0-72h , 7649 ng/ml ⢠h, and 8429 ng/ml ⢠h, P = .50; Cmax , 448 ng/mL and 451.5 ng/mL, P = .96, respectively). Pantoprazole did not alter hydroxychloroquine absorption, indicating that proton pump inhibitors do not affect its bioavailability.

OBJECTIVES: Primary objective: Evaluation of the effect of the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) pantoprazole on the absorption of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). Secondary objectives: ⢠Evaluation of the relationship between HCQ concentrations in whole blood, plasma and intracellular concentrations in target cells - peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). ⢠Evaluation of HCQ as a potential perpetrator in drug-drug interactions at the level of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 and CYP2D6 (major drug metabolizing enzymes). TRIAL DESIGN: Single centre, open-label, parallel group, two-arm, phase I drug-drug interaction trial. PARTICIPANTS: Healthy volunteers (18-60 years old) are treated in the Clinical Pharmacological Trial Center of Heidelberg University Hospital, Germany. INTERVENTION AND COMPARATOR: ⢠Participants are randomized in a group to either receive a nine-day course of pantoprazole, or to a control group without pantoprazole. All participants receive a single dose of HCQ 400 mg. ⢠Additionally, CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 phenotyping with microdosed probe drugs is performed using midazolam and yohimbine as enzyme activity markers, respectively. MAIN OUTCOMES: Primary endpoint: Area under the curve (AUC)0-72 h and maximum concentration (Cmax) of a single oral dose of 400 mg HCQ with and without pantoprazole (changes in these two values describe relevant aspects of exposure to HCQ with and without administration of pantoprazole). Secondary endpoints: ⢠AUC2-4 h, AUC0-6 h and Cmax of midazolam and yohimbine. ⢠Correlation of HCQ concentrations in whole blood with concentrations in plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). RANDOMISATION: Participants are assigned to treatment groups by using a randomisation list (1:1, block size = 4) and consecutive enrolment. BLINDING (MASKING): The trial is an open-label trial, participants and investigators are not blinded. NUMBERS TO BE RANDOMISED (SAMPLE SIZE): A total number of 24 participants (12 per group) are planned to be randomised. TRIAL STATUS: Protocol version 2.1 dated 24/04/2020, first patient first visit.
