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.

DIDB Team to participate in the ISSX/JSSX 2024 Meeting, September 15-18, in Honolulu

Drs. Isabelle Ragueneau-Majlessi and Jingjing Yu will be attending the upcoming ISSX/JSSX 2024 meeting in Honolulu, where they will present a poster titled “Mechanistic Studies Supporting the Evaluation of Pharmacokinetic-Drug Interactions with Drugs Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2023: A Systematic Review of New Drug Applications”.

The poster, numbered 119, will be presented in Poster Session 2 on Tuesday, September 19th, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. in the poster hall. Dr. Jingjing Yu will be presenting.

If you’re interested in exploring the new features of the DIDB, please contact them (didbase@certara.com) to arrange a demo during the meeting.

A New Tag has been Added to Identify PBPK Studies at the Citation/NDA Level

To enhance accessibility to PBPK data, a “PBPK Study” tag has been introduced at the citation level. This tag will appear alongside the citation/NDA number for any citation/NDA containing PBPK data. An example is provided below:

With this new feature, you can now easily identify citations and NDA/BLAs that include PBPK data in the tables of citations or NDA/BLAs recently published in DIDB. Simply use “PBPK” as a filter in the Accession # and NDA/BLA # columns to find relevant entries. You can use the following searches: citations that are recently published and entered in DIDB and all the NDAs/BLAs in DIDB to try this new feature.

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

DDI Marker Studies Knowledgebase – quarterly update

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

Our Editorial Team has dedicated effort on identifying substrates and inhibitors for OAT1, OAT3, OCT2, MATE1, and MATE2-K transporters. In this update, we have added 29 substrates and inhibitors of these transporters. Overall, 60 compounds have been identified as substates, inhibitors, and inducers of CYP enzymes and various transporters, including P-gp, BCRP, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OAT1, OAT3, OCT2, MATE1, and MATE2-K. Notably, two compounds are classified as sensitive substrates of CYP3A, and a compound previously considered a moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor is now recognized as a strong inhibitor based on recent DDI data. These compounds 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.

DDI Marker Studies Knowledgebase – quarterly update

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

Our Editorial Team had dedicated efforts on identifying inhibitors for BCPP and OATP1B1/1B3 transporters, revealing 22 inhibitors of these transporters among this update. In summary, 42 compounds were identified as substates, inhibitors, and inducers of CYP enzymes and transporters (P-gp, BCRP, and OATP1B1/3) in this update. Notably, 5 compounds were sensitive substrates, and 1 was a strong inhibitor, potentially leading to significant drug interactions mediated by CYP1A2, CYP2D6, and CYP3A.

For enhanced accessibility, we’ve introduced a “Recent Update” column (Column AE) on the spreadsheet. Simply select “yes” to view a comprehensive list of additions and modifications, including new compounds and updates to existing cells.

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.
