DDI Marker Studies Knowledgebase – quarterly update

The DDI Marker Studies Knowledgebase has been updated in January 2025 and is available in the DIDB Resource Center.

In this update, we have continued identifying substrates, inhibitors, and inducers for CYP enzymes and various transporters. A total of 20 compounds were characterized, including substates of CYP2C9, CYP3A, BCRP, OAT1, and OAT3, inhibitors of CYP2C19, CYP2D6, P-gp, BCRP, and OCT2, and inducers of CYP2C19 and P-gp. No strong perpetrators or sensitive substrates were identified.

To view a comprehensive list of additions and modifications, including new compounds and updates to existing entries, you may use the “Recent Update” column (Column AE) on the spreadsheet and select “yes.”

In addition to substrates, inhibitors and inducers of CYPs and transporters, the Knowledgebase provides useful information on the compounds therapeutic class, clinical recommended dosage, pharmacokinetics (e.g., dose proportionality accumulation ratio, time to steady-state), QT prolongation, and NTI characteristics.

Leveraging Real-World Evidence to Extend Drug-Drug Interaction Assessment from Drug Development to Clinical Care: A Targeted Review of the Literature

Presented at the ISPOR Europe, November 2024

2024 ISPOR Europe Poster Presentation – RWD DDI Reviews

Abstract

Evaluating DDIs in a real-world setting is key to accurately assess the clinical and economic outcomes of drugs. Real-World Data (RWD) can help in identifying potential DDIs, assessing their clinical significance, guiding dose adjustments to manage potential DDIs, and supporting overall benefit-risk assessment of drugs or drug combinations. This literature review aimed to characterize current applications of RWD in evaluating and mitigating DDI risks, while identifying gaps to be addressed.

Data Curation and Entry in DIDB – November Summary

In November, we added 93 citations in DIDB, including 45 in vitro (with 26 articles published in November 2024) and 48 in vivo articles (with 34 articles published in November 2024).

5 NDA/BLAs approved in 2024, including arimoclomol (MIPLYFFA), inavolisib (ITOVEBI), seladelpar (LIVDELZI), zolbetuixmab(VYLOY), and xanomeline and trospium (COBENFY) were also curated in DIDB.

Data Curation and Entry in DIDB – October Summary

In October, we added 115 citations in DIDB, including 55 in vitro (with 23 articles published in October 2024) and 60 in vivo articles (with 35 articles published in October 2024).

3 NDA/BLAs approved in 2024, including lebrikizumab (EBGLYSS), levacetylleucine (AQNEURSA), and flurpiridaz F18 (FLYRCADO) were also curated in DIDB.

DDI Marker Studies Knowledgebase – quarterly update

The DDI Marker Studies Knowledgebase has been updated in October 2024 and is available in the DIDB Resource Center.

Our Editorial Team has dedicated effort on identifying substrates and perpetrators of UGT enzymes. More than 30 UGT substrates, inhibitors, and inducers recommended by the ICH M12 DDI guideline have been added to the knowledgebase with supporting DDI and/or PGx evidence. In addition, we have continued to identify substrates and inhibitors for renal transporters by reviewing all the existing data. Overall, 65 compounds have been identified as substates, inhibitors, and inducers of CYPs, UGTs, and various transporters, including P-gp, BCRP, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OAT1, OAT3, OCT2, MATE1, and MATE2-K. Notably, one compound was classified as a sensitive substrate of CYP1A2 and one as a strong inhibitor of CYP3A based on PBPK data (AUCR > 10), which could potentially lead to significant drug interactions mediated by these CYPs.

To view a comprehensive list of additions and modifications, including new compounds and updates to existing entries, you may use the “Recent Update” column (Column AE) on the spreadsheet and select “yes.”

In addition to substrates, inhibitors and inducers of CYPs and transporters, the Knowledgebase provides useful information on the compounds therapeutic class, clinical recommended dosage, pharmacokinetics (e.g., dose proportionality accumulation ratio, time to steady-state), QT prolongation, and NTI characteristics.

Mechanistic Studies Supporting the Evaluation of Pharmacokinetic-Drug Interactions with Drugs Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2023: a Systemic Review of New Drug Applications

Presented at the 26th North American ISSX and JSSX Meeting, September 2024
Jingjing Yu, Sophie Argon, Yan Wang, and Isabelle Ragueneau-Majlessi

2024 ISSX/JSSX Poster Presentation – 2023 NDA Reviews

Abstract

The mechanistic evaluation of enzyme- and transporter-based drug-drug interactions (DDIs) is an integral part of the drug development process and supports the safe and effective clinical use of new therapies. In the present work, DDI data for small molecular drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2023 (N = 38) were analyzed using the Certara Drug Interaction Database. The mechanism(s) and clinical magnitude of the observed interactions were characterized based on information available in the new drug application reviews.

2 NDA/BLAs approved in 2024, including elafibranor (IQIRVO) and donanemab (KISUNLA), were also curated in DIDB.
