2023 ISSX Poster Presentation – 2022 NDA Reviews

Abstract

Understanding the ADME processes involved in pharmacokinetic-based drug-drug interactions (DDIs) is critical to facilitate an optimal management of DDIs in the clinic. In the present work, drug metabolism and transport in vitro and in vivo data for small molecular drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2022 (N=22) were analyzed using the Certara Drug Interaction Database. The mechanism(s) and clinical relevance of these interactions were characterized based on information available in the new drug application (NDA) reviews.

Certara Drug Interaction Solutions team members to attend the 25th North American ISSX Meeting in Boston

Drs Isabelle Ragueneau-Majlessi, and Jingjing Yu, respectively Senior Director and Associate Director at Certara Drug Interaction Solutions will be attending the ISSX Meeting in Boston, MA on Sept 10-13, 2023. In addition to Certara booth, we hope to meet you at our two posters:

  • “Risk of pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions with novel drugs approved by the US FDA in 2022: a detailed review of DDI data from NDA documentation.” #P69 to be presented by Jingjing Yu on Sept 12 between 12:30-1:30pm
  • “Understanding the role of CYP3A in the metabolism of kinase inhibitors marketed in the past decade to better manage the risk of clinical drug-drug interactions.” #P68 to be presented by Jingjing Yu on Sept 12 between 1:30-2:30pm

If you wish to set up a meeting with Isabelle and/or Jingjing at the conference, please contact us at DIDBase@certara.com. We look forward to catching up with you there.

Data Curation and Entry in DIDB – July Summary

In July, we added 110 citations in DIDB, including 55 in vitro (with 21 articles published in July 2023) and 55 in vivo articles (with 33 articles published in July 2023).

4 recently approved NDAs/BLAs were also added: flotufolastat F-18 gallium (POSLUMA), ritlecitinib (LITFULO), rozanolixizumab (RYSTIGGO), sulbactam and durlobactam (XACDURO)

You can check the citations that are recently published and entered in DIDB and all the NDAs/BLAs in DIDB.

DDI Marker Studies Knowledgebase – quarterly update

The DDI Marker Studies Knowledgebase (replacing the previous combined and individual lists of CYP/P-gp substrates and perpetrators) has been updated in July 2023, and is available in the DIDB Resource Center.

In this update, 25 compounds were identified as substates, inhibitors, and inducers of CYP enzymes and transporters (P-gp, BCRP, and OATP1B1/3). Among them, 3 compounds were sensitive substrates and could lead to strong drug interactions mediated by CYP1A2, CYP2D6, and CYP3A.

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.

As always, feel free to contact us if you have any questions or comments.

Data Curation and Entry in DIDB – June Summary

We are now Certara

“We are thrilled to share an important development related to Drug Interaction Solutions (DIS) and the DIDB® – The Drug Interaction Database, which you and your teams have relied on over the years. As of June 21, 2023, DIS and DIDB® have been acquired by Certara – a global leader in biosimulation and technology-enabled services that accelerate drug development. 

This move represents a significant milestone in the growth and development of DIDB® and further strengthens its position as an internationally recognized authoritative, unbiased, and transparent drug development tool. As a part of Certara’s data sciences portfolio, we know we have found the right home for DIDB® to continue towards becoming a standard in supporting drug development, healthcare applications, and complex clinical decision algorithms.”
