Abstract

Quantitative predictions of pharmacokinetics (PKs) and concentration-time profiles using in vitro and in vivo preclinical data are critical to estimate systemic exposures for first-in-human studies. Prospective prediction accuracies of human PKs for 18 compounds across all Biopharmaceutics Classification System/Biopharmaceutics Drug Disposition Classification System classes were evaluated. The a priori predicted profiles were then compared with clinical profiles. Predictions were conducted using advanced compartmental absorption and transit (ACAT) physiology based PK models. Human intravenous profiles were predicted with in vivo preclinical intravenous data using Wajima formulas. Human oral profiles were generated by combining intravenous PKs together with either physiologically based oral ACAT models utilizing solubility and permeability data or by using the average bioavailability (F) and absorption rate constant (ka ) from preclinical species. Key PK parameters evaluated were the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax ), the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC), CL/F, and Vdss /F. A decision tree was provided to guide human PK and ACAT predictions. Our prospective human PK prediction methods yielded good prediction results. The predictions were within a twofold error for 80% (Cmax ), 65% (AUC), 65% (CL/F), and 80% (Vz /F) of the compounds. The methods described can be readily implemented with available in vitro and in vivo data during early drug development.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
