Abstract
In the past, rifampicin was well-established as strong index CYP3A inducer in clinical drug-drug interaction (DDI) studies. However, due to identified potentially genotoxic nitrosamine impurities, it should not any longer be used in healthy volunteer studies. Available clinical data suggest carbamazepine as an alternative to rifampicin as strong index CYP3A4 inducer in clinical DDI studies. Further, physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling is a tool with increasing importance to support the DDI risk assessment of drugs during drug development. CYP3A4 induction properties and the safety profile of carbamazepine were investigated in two open-label, fixed sequence, crossover clinical pharmacology studies in healthy volunteers using midazolam as a sensitive index CYP3A4 substrate. Carbamazepine was up-titrated from 100 mg twice daily (b.i.d.) to 200 mg b.i.d., and to a final dose of 300 mg b.i.d. for 10 consecutive days. Mean area under plasma concentration-time curve from zero to infinity (AUC(0-∞)) of midazolam consistently decreased by 71.8% (ratio: 0.282, 90% confidence interval (CI): 0.235-0.340) and 67.7% (ratio: 0.323, 90% CI: 0.256-0.407) in study 1 and study 2, respectively. The effect was adequately described by an internally developed PBPK model for carbamazepine which has been made freely available to the scientific community. Further, carbamazepine was safe and well-tolerated in the investigated dosing regimen in healthy participants. The results demonstrated that the presented design is appropriate for the use of carbamazepine as alternative inducer to rifampicin in DDI studies acknowledging its CYP3A4 inductive potency and safety profile.

A Comprehensive Mixed-Method Approach to Characterize the Source of Diurnal Tacrolimus Exposure Variability in Children: Systematic Review, Meta-analysis, and Application to an Existing Data Set.

Abstract
Tacrolimus is widely reported to display diurnal variation in pharmacokinetic parameters with twice-daily dosing. However, the contribution of chronopharmacokinetics versus food intake is unclear, with even less evidence in the pediatric population. The objectives of this study were to summarize the existing literature by meta-analysis and evaluate the impact of food composition on 24-hour pharmacokinetics in pediatric kidney transplant recipients. For the meta-analysis, 10 studies involving 253 individuals were included. The pooled effect sizes demonstrated significant differences in area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to 12 hours (standardized mean difference [SMD], 0.27; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.03-0.52) and maximum concentration (SMD, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.35-1.15) between morning and evening dose administration. However, there was significant between-study heterogeneity that was explained by food exposure. The effect size for minimum concentration was not significantly different overall (SMD, -0.09; 95% CI, -0.27 to 0.09) or across the food exposure subgroups. A 2-compartment model with a lag time, linear clearance, and first-order absorption best characterized the tacrolimus pharmacokinetics in pediatric participants. As expected, adding the time of administration and food composition covariates reduced the unexplained within-subject variability for the first-order absorption rate constant, but only caloric composition significantly reduced variability for lag time. The available data suggest food intake is the major driver of diurnal variation in tacrolimus exposure, but the associated changes are not reflected by trough concentrations alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Midazolam is the preferred clinical probe drug for assessing CYP3A activity. We have previously shown substantial intraindividual variability in midazolam absolute bioavailability and clearance in patients with obesity before and after weight loss induced by gastric bypass or a strict diet. The objective was to describe intraindividual variability in absolute bioavailability and clearance of midazolam in healthy individuals without obesity. METHODS This study included 33 healthy volunteers [28 ± 8 years, 21% males, body mass index (BMI) 23 ± 2.5 kg/m2] subjected to four pharmacokinetic investigations over a 2-month period (weeks 0, 2, 4, and 8). Semi-simultaneous oral (0 h) and intravenous (2 h later) midazolam dosing was used to assess absolute bioavailability and clearance of midazolam. RESULTS At baseline, mean absolute bioavailability and clearance were 46 ± 18% and 31 ± 10 L/h, respectively. The mean coefficient of variation (CV, %) for absolute bioavailability and clearance of midazolam was 26 ± 15% and 20 ± 10%, respectively. Approximately one-third had a CV > 30% for absolute bioavailability, while 13% had a CV > 30% for clearance. CONCLUSIONS On average, intraindividual variability in absolute bioavailability and clearance of midazolam was low to moderate; however, especially absolute bioavailability showed considerable variability in a relatively large proportion of the individuals.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The objective was to investigate if metformin pharmacokinetics is modulated by time-of-day in humans using empirical and mechanistic pharmacokinetic modelling techniques on a large clinical dataset. This study also aimed to generate and test hypotheses on the underlying mechanisms, including evidence for chronotype-dependent interindividual differences in metformin plasma and efficacy-related tissue concentrations. METHODS A large clinical dataset consisting of individual metformin plasma and urine measurements was analysed using a newly developed empirical pharmacokinetic model. Causes of daily variation of metformin pharmacokinetics and interindividual variability were further investigated by a literature-informed mechanistic modelling analysis. RESULTS A significant effect of time-of-day on metformin pharmacokinetics was found. Daily rhythms of gastrointestinal, hepatic and renal processes are described in the literature, possibly affecting drug pharmacokinetics. Observed metformin plasma levels were best described by a combination of a rhythm in GFR, renal plasma flow (RPF) and organic cation transporter (OCT) 2 activity. Furthermore, the large interindividual differences in measured metformin concentrations were best explained by individual chronotypes affecting metformin clearance, with impact on plasma and tissue concentrations that may have implications for metformin efficacy. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Metformin's pharmacology significantly depends on time-of-day in humans, determined with the help of empirical and mechanistic pharmacokinetic modelling, and rhythmic GFR, RPF and OCT2 were found to govern intraday variation. Interindividual variation was found to be partly dependent on individual chronotype, suggesting diurnal preference as an interesting, but so-far underappreciated, topic with regard to future personalised chronomodulated therapy in people with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Tuberculosis remains the leading cause of death among people living with HIV. Rifapentine is increasingly used to treat active disease or prevent reactivation, in both cases given either as weekly or daily therapy. However, rifapentine is an inducer of CYP3A4, potentially interacting with antiretrovirals like rilpivirine. This in silico study investigates the drug-drug interaction (DDI) magnitude between daily oral rilpivirine 25 mg with either daily 600 mg or weekly 900 mg rifapentine. A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was built in Simbiology (Matlab R2018a) to simulate the drug-drug interaction. The simulated PK parameters from the PBPK model were verified against reported clinical data for rilpivirine and rifapentine separately, daily rifapentine with midazolam, and weekly rifapentine with doravirine. The simulations of concomitant administration of rifapentine with rilpivirine at steady-state lead to a maximum decrease on AUC0-24 and Ctrough by 83% and 92% on day 5 for the daily rifapentine regimen and 68% and 92% for the weekly regimen on day 3. In the weekly regimen, prior to the following dose, AUC0-24 and Ctrough were still reduced by 47% and 53%. In both simulations, the induction effect ceased 2 weeks after the interruption of rifapentine's treatment. A daily double dose of rilpivirine after initiating rifapentine 900 mg weekly was simulated but failed to compensate the drug-drug interaction. The drug-drug interaction model suggested a significant decrease on rilpivirine exposure which is unlikely to be corrected by dose increment, thus coadministration should be avoided.

The Impact of Suboptimal 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels and Cholecalciferol Replacement on the Pharmacokinetics of Oral Midazolam in Control Subjects and Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of suboptimal 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-VitD) and cholecalciferol (VitD3 ) supplementation on the pharmacokinetics of oral midazolam (MDZ) in control subjects and subjects with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Subjects with CKD (n = 14) and controls (n = 5) with suboptimal 25-VitD levels (<30 ng/mL) were enrolled in a 2-phase study. In phase 1 (suboptimal), subjects were administered a single oral dose of VitD3 (5000 IU) and MDZ (2 mg). In phase 2 (replete) subjects who achieved 25-VitD repletion after receiving up to 16 weeks of daily cholecalciferol were given the identical single oral doses of VitD3 and MDZ as in phase 1. Concentrations of MDZ and metabolites, 1'-hydroxymidazolam (1'-OHMDZ), and 1'-OHMDZ glucuronide (1'-OHMDZ-G) were measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and pharmacokinetic analysis was performed. Under suboptimal 25-VitD, reductions in MDZ clearance and renal clearance of 47% and 87%, respectively, and a 72% reduction in renal clearance of 1'-OHMDZ-G were observed in CKD vs controls. In phase 1 versus phase 2, MDZ clearance increased in all control subjects, with a median (interquartile range) increase of 10.5 (0.62-16.7) L/h. No changes in MDZ pharmacokinetics were observed in subjects with CKD between phases 1 and 2. The effects of 25-VitD repletion on MDZ disposition was largely observed in subjects without kidney disease. Impaired MDZ metabolism and/or excretion alterations due to CKD in a suboptimal 25-VitD state may not be reversed by cholecalciferol therapy. Suboptimal 25-VitD may augment the reductions in MDZ and 1'-OHMDZ-G clearance values observed in patients with CKD.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to apply Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling to predict the effect of liver disease (LD) on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of dexamethasone (DEX) in the treatment of COVID-19. A whole-body PBPK model was created to simulate 100 adult individuals aged 18–60 years. Physiological changes (e.g., plasma protein concentration, liver size, CP450 expression, hepatic blood flow) and portal vein shunt were incorporated into the LD model. The changes were implemented by using the Child-Pugh (CP) classification system. DEX was qualified using clinical data in healthy adults for both oral (PO) and intravenous (IV) administrations and similarly propranolol (PRO) and midazolam (MDZ) were qualified with PO and IV clinical data in healthy and LD adults. The qualified model was subsequently used to simulate a 6 mg PO and 20 mg IV dose of DEX in patients with varying degrees of LD, with and without shunting. The PBPK model was successfully qualified across DEX, MDZ and PRO. In contrast to healthy adults, the simulated systemic clearance of DEX decreased (35%–60%) and the plasma concentrations increased (170%–400%) in patients with LD. Moreover, at higher doses of DEX, the AUC ratio between healthy/LD individuals remained comparable to lower doses. The exposure of DEX in different stages of LD was predicted through PBPK modelling, providing a rational framework to predict PK in complex clinical scenarios related to COVID-19. Model simulations suggest dose adjustments of DEX in LD patients are not necessary considering the low dose administered in the COVID-19 protocol.

Abstract
Purpose Berzosertib (formerly M6620) is the first-in-class inhibitor of ataxia–telangiectasia and Rad3-related protein, a key component of the DNA damage response, and being developed in combination with chemotherapy for the treatment of patients with advanced cancers. The objectives of this analysis were to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of berzosertib across multiple studies and parts, estimate inter-individual variability, and identify covariates that could explain such variability. Methods A population PK analysis was performed using the combined dataset from two phase I clinical studies (NCT02157792, EudraCT 2013-005100-34) in patients with advanced cancers receiving an intravenous infusion of berzosertib alone or in combination with chemotherapy. The analysis included data from 240 patients across 11 dose levels (18–480 mg/m2). Plasma concentration data were modeled with a non-linear mixed-effect approach and clinical covariates were evaluated. Results PK data were best described by a two-compartment linear model. For a typical patient, the estimated clearance (CL) and intercompartmental CL were 65 L/h and 295 L/h, respectively, with central and peripheral volumes estimated to be 118 L and 1030 L, respectively. Several intrinsic factors were found to influence berzosertib PK, but none were considered clinically meaningful due to a very limited effect. Model simulations indicated that concentrations of berzosertib exceeded p-Chk1 (proximal pharmacodynamic biomarker) IC50 at recommended phase II doses in combination with carboplatin, cisplatin, and gemcitabine. Conclusions There was no evidence of a clinically significant PK interaction between berzosertib and evaluated chemo-combinations. The covariate analysis did not highlight any need for dosing adjustments in the population studied to date.

Abstract
The extent of a drug-drug interaction (DDI) mediated by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A inhibitors is highly variable during a dosing interval, as it depends on the temporal course of victim and perpetrator drug concentrations at intestinal and hepatic CYP3A expression sites. Capturing the time course of inhibition is therefore difficult using standard DDI studies assessing changes in area under the curve; thus, a novel design was developed. In a 4-period changeover pilot study, 6 healthy men received intraduodenal or intravenous infusions of the CYP3A substrate midazolam (MDZ) at a rate of 0.26 mg/h for 24 hours. This was combined with intraduodenal or intravenous infusion of the CYP3A inhibitor voriconazole (VRZ), administered at rates of 7.5 mg/h from 8 to 16 hours and of 15 mg/h from 16 to 24 hours, after starting midazolam administration. Plasma and urine concentrations of VRZ, MDZ, and its major metabolites were quantified by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and analyzed by semiphysiological population pharmacokinetic nonlinear mixed-effects modeling. A model including mechanism-based inactivation of the metabolizing enzymes (maximum inactivation rate constant kinact , 2.83 h-1 ; dissociation rate constant K I , 9.33 μM) described the pharmacokinetics of VRZ well. By introducing competitive inhibition by VRZ on primary and secondary MDZ metabolism, concentration-time profiles, MDZ and its metabolites were captured appropriately. The model provides estimates of local concentrations of substrate and inhibitor at the major CYP3A expression sites and thus of the respective dynamic extent of inhibition. A combination of intravenous and intraduodenal infusions of inhibitors and substrates has the potential to provide a more accurate assessment of DDIs occurring in both gut wall and liver.

Abstract
Drug dosing is challenging in patients with end-stage renal disease. Not only is renal drug elimination reduced, but nonrenal clearance pathways are also altered. Increasing evidence suggest that uremia impacts drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters leading to changes in nonrenal clearance. However, the exact mechanisms are not yet fully understood, and the acute effects of dialysis are inadequately investigated. We prospectively phenotyped cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A; midazolam) and P-glycoprotein (P-gp)/organic anion-transporting proteins (OATP; fexofenadine) in 12 patients on chronic intermittent hemodialysis; a day after ("clean") and a day prior to ("dirty") dialysis. Unbound midazolam clearance decreased with time after dialysis; median (range) reduction of 14% (-3% to 41%) from "clean" to "dirty" day (P = 0.001). Fexofenadine clearance was not affected by time after dialysis (P = 0.68). In conclusion, changes in uremic milieu between dialysis sessions induce a small, direct inhibitory effect on CYP3A activity, but do not alter P-gp/OATP activity.

Abstract
PURPOSE Despite the uncertain effects of anxiolytic premedication with benzodiazepines on the quality of postoperative recovery, perioperative benzodiazepine administration is still a common practice in many hospitals. We evaluated the effect of premedication with midazolam on the quality of recovery in hospitalized patients undergoing a laparotomy. METHODS We conducted a single-centre randomized placebo-controlled, double-blinded clinical trial from July 2014 to September 2015. We included 192 patients aged > 18 yr scheduled for elective laparotomy with a planned postoperative stay of ≥ three days. Participants were randomized into two groups to receive either midazolam 3 mg or sodium chloride 0.9% intravenously as premedication prior to surgery. Patients were followed up for up to one week after surgery. The primary outcome was the Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40) score on postoperative day (POD) 3. The secondary outcomes included the QoR-40 score on POD 7, and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, State-Trait Anger Scale, Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale scores. RESULTS The mean (standard deviation) postoperative QoR-40 scores on POD 3 were not significantly different in the midazolam group compared with controls [166.4 (17.0) vs 163.9 (19.8), respectively; mean difference, 2.3; 95% confidence interval, - 2.9 to 8.4; P = 0.35]. There were no between-group differences in any of the secondary outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Administration of midazolam as premedication for laparotomy patients did not improve the quality of recovery up to one week after surgery. General prescription of midazolam as premedication can be questioned and might only suit some patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT01993459); registered 29 October, 2013.

Perspectives from the Innovation and Quality Consortium Induction Working Group on Factors Impacting Clinical Drug-Drug Interactions Resulting from Induction: Focus on Cytochrome 3A Substrates. Drug Metab Dispos 2019; 47:1206-1221. [PMID: 31439574 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.119.087270] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2019] [Accepted: 08/06/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
A recent publication from the Innovation and Quality Consortium Induction Working Group collated a large clinical data set with the goal of evaluating the accuracy of drug-drug interaction (DDI) prediction from in vitro data. Somewhat surprisingly, comparison across studies of the mean- or median-reported area under the curve ratio showed appreciable variability in the magnitude of outcome. This commentary explores the possible drivers of this range of outcomes observed in clinical induction studies. While recommendations on clinical study design are not being proposed, some key observations were informative during the aggregate analysis of clinical data. Although DDI data are often presented using median data, individual data would enable evaluation of how differences in study design, baseline expression, and the number of subjects contribute. Since variability in perpetrator pharmacokinetics (PK) could impact the overall DDI interpretation, should this be routinely captured? Maximal induction was typically observed after 5-7 days of dosing. Thus, when the half-life of the inducer is less than 30 hours, are there benefits to a more standardized study design? A large proportion of CYP3A4 inducers were also CYP3A4 inhibitors and/or inactivators based on in vitro data. In these cases, using CYP3A selective substrates has limitations. More intensive monitoring of changes in area under the curve over time is warranted. With selective CYP3A substrates, the net effect was often inhibition, whereas less selective substrates could discern induction through mechanisms not susceptible to inhibition. The latter included oral contraceptives, which raise concerns of reduced efficacy following induction. Alternative approaches for modeling induction, such as applying biomarkers and physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling (PBPK), are also considered. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: The goal of this commentary is to stimulate discussion on whether there are opportunities to optimize clinical drug-drug interaction study design. The overall aim is to reduce, understand and contextualize the variability observed in the magnitude of induction across reported clinical studies. A large clinical CYP3A induction dataset was collected and further analyzed to identify trends and gaps. Reporting individual victim PK data, characterizing perpetrator PK and including additional PK assessments for mixed-mechanism perpetrators may provide insights into how these factors impact differences observed in clinical outcomes. The potential utility of biomarkers and PBPK modeling are discussed in considering future directions.

Abstract
Objectives To calculate the clavulanic acid exposure of oral amoxicillin/clavulanic acid dosing regimens, to investigate variability using a population pharmacokinetic model and to explore target attainment using Monte Carlo simulations. Methods Two groups of healthy male volunteers received amoxicillin/clavulanic acid tablets at the start of a standard meal on two separate days 1 week apart. One group (n = 14) received 875/125 mg q12h and 500/125 mg q8h and the other group (n = 15) received 500/125 mg q12h and 250/125 mg q8h. In total, 1479 blood samples were collected until 8-12 h after administration. Concentrations were analysed using non-compartmental (WinNonLin) and population pharmacokinetic (NONMEM) methods. Results Median Cmax and AUC0-8 were 2.21 mg/L (0.21-4.35) and 4.99 mg·h/L (0.44-8.31), respectively. In 40/58 daily concentration-time profiles, Cmax and AUC0-8 of the morning dose were higher than with later doses. The final population model included a lag time (0.447 h), first-order absorption (3.99 h-1 at 8:00 h, between-subject variability 52.8%, between-occasion variability 48.5%), one distribution compartment (33.0 L, between-subject variability 23.9%) and first-order elimination (24.6 L/h, between-subject variability 26.7%). Bioavailability (fixed at 1 at 8:00 h, between-occasion variability 28.2%) and absorption rate decreased over the day. For 97.5% of the simulated population after 125 mg q12h or q8h, %fT > Ct at 0.5 mg/L was 8.33% (q12h) and 15.2% (q8h), %fT > Ct at 1 mg/L was 0% (q12h + q8h), and fAUC0-24 was 3.61 (q12h) and 5.56 (q8h) mg·h/L. Conclusions Clavulanic acid absorption in healthy volunteers is highly variable. Bioavailability and absorption rate decrease over the day. The model developed here may serve to suggest clavulanic acid dosing regimens to optimize efficacy and prevent underdosing.

Characterization of Intestinal and Hepatic CYP3A-Mediated Metabolism of Midazolam in Children Using a Physiological Population Pharmacokinetic Modelling Approach. Pharm Res 2018; 35:182. [PMID: 30062590 PMCID: PMC6096899 DOI: 10.1007/s11095-018-2458-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2018] [Accepted: 07/09/2018] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Purpose Changes in drug absorption and first-pass metabolism have been reported throughout the pediatric age range. Our aim is to characterize both intestinal and hepatic CYP3A-mediated metabolism of midazolam in children in order to predict first-pass and systemic metabolism of CYP3A substrates. Methods Pharmacokinetic (PK) data of midazolam and 1-OH-midazolam from 264 post-operative children 1–18 years of age after oral administration were analyzed using a physiological population PK modelling approach. In the model, consisting of physiological compartments representing the gastro-intestinal tract and liver,intrinsic intestinal and hepatic clearances were estimated to derive values for bioavailability and plasma clearance. Results The whole-organ intrinsic clearance in the gut wall and liver were found to increase with body weight, with a 105 (95% confidence interval (CI): 5–405) times lower intrinsic gut wall clearance than the intrinsic hepatic clearance (i.e. 5.08 L/h (relative standard error (RSE) 10%) versus 527 L/h (RSE 7%) for a 16 kg individual, respectively). When expressed per gram of organ, intrinsic clearance increases with increasing body weight in the gut wall, but decreases in the liver, indicating that CYP3A-mediated intrinsic clearance and local bioavailability in the gut wall and liver do not change with age in parallel. The resulting total bioavailability was found to be age-independent with a median of 20.8% in children (95%CI: 3.8–50.0%). Conclusion In conclusion, the intrinsic CYP3A-mediated gut wall clearance is substantially lower than the intrinsic hepatic CYP3A-mediated clearance in children from 1 to 18 years of age, and contributes less to the overall first-pass metabolism compared to adults.

Abstract
A simple, sensitive, and accurate LC-MS/MS method was established and validated for the simultaneous quantification of dexmedetomidine, dezocine, and midazolam in rat plasma. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a C18 column (50 mm × 2.1 mm, 3 µm) using a mobile phase composed of water (containing 0.1% formic acid) and acetonitrile. The lower limits of quantification were 0.1, 0.1, and 0.2 ng/mL for dexmedetomidine, dezocine, and midazolam in rat plasma, respectively. The analytes were determined with selected reaction monitoring under positive ionization mode. The intra- and interday precision and accuracy were all within acceptable limits during the entire validation, and the stability of analytes was acceptable under various storage conditions. The validated method was successfully applied in pharmacokinetic studies of dexmedetomidine, dezocine, and midazolam following intravenous injection.

Abstract
AIMS Midazolam is the drug of choice for palliative sedation and is titrated to achieve the desired level of sedation. Because of large inter-individual variability (IIV), however, the time it takes to achieve adequate sedation varies widely. It would therefore greatly improve clinical care if an individualized dose could be determined beforehand. To find clinically relevant parameters for dose individualization, we performed a pharmacokinetic study on midazolam, 1OH-midazolam (1-OH-M) and 1OH-midazolam-glucuronide (1-OH-MG) in terminally ill patients. METHODS Using nonlinear mixed effects modelling (NONMEM 7.2), a population pharmacokinetic analysis was conducted with 192 samples from 45 terminally ill patients who received midazolam either orally or subcutaneously. The covariates analysed were patient characteristics, co-medication and blood chemistry levels. RESULTS The data were accurately described by a one compartment model for midazolam, 1-OH-M and 1-OH-MG. The population mean estimates for midazolam, 1-OH-M and 1-OH-MG clearance were 8.4 l h-1 (RSE 9%, IIV 49%), 45.4 l h-1 (RSE 12%, IIV 60.5%) and 5.1 l h-1 (RSE 11%, IIV 49.9%), respectively. 1-OH-MG clearance was correlated with the estimated glomular filtration rate (eGFR) explaining 28.4% of the IIV in 1-OH-MG clearance. In addition, low albumin levels were associated with decreased midazolam clearance, explaining 18.2% of the IIV. CONCLUSION Our study indicates albumin levels and eGFR as relevant clinical parameters to optimize midazolam dosing in terminally ill patients. The correlation between low albumin levels and decreased midazolam clearance is probably a result of inflammatory response as high CRP levels were correlated in a similar way.

Abstract
Objectives To characterize the effects of CYP2B6 polymorphisms, diurnal variation and demographic factors on nevirapine pharmacokinetics in African children. Methods Non-linear mixed-effects modelling conducted in NONMEM 7.3 described nevirapine plasma concentration–time data from 414 children aged 0.3–15 years. Results Nevirapine pharmacokinetics was best described using a one-compartment disposition model with elimination through a well-stirred liver model accounting for a first-pass effect and transit-compartment absorption. Intrinsic clearance was affected by diurnal variation (characterized using a cosine function with peak amplitude 29% at 12 noon) and CYP2B6 metabolizer status [extensive metabolizer (EM) 516GG|983TT, reference; intermediate metabolizer (IM) 516GT|983TT or 516GG|983TC, 17% lower; slow metabolizer (SM) 516TT|983TT or 516GT|983TC, 50% lower; ultra-slow metabolizer (USM) 516GG|983CC, 68% lower]. Age was found to affect pre-hepatic bioavailability: 31.7% lower at birth and increasing exponentially. Median (90% CI) evening Cmin values in the different metabolizer groups were 5.01 (3.01–7.47), 6.55 (3.65–13.32), 11.59 (5.44–22.71) and 12.32 (12.32–27.25) mg/L, respectively. Evening Cmin values were <3 mg/L in 43% of EM weighing <6 kg and 26% of IM weighing <6 kg, while 73% of SM and 88% of USM in all weight-bands had evening Cmin values >8 mg/L. Cmin was not markedly affected by administration time, but was altered by unequal splitting of the daily dose. Conclusions Diurnal variation does not greatly affect nevirapine exposure. However, when daily doses cannot be split equally, the larger dose should be given in the morning. To achieve homogeneous exposures, nevirapine doses for SM and USM should be reduced by 50%, and children weighing <6 kg with EM or IM metabolizer status should receive the same dose as children weighing 6–10 kg.

Abstract
AIM The objective of this study was to investigate whether the pharmacokinetics of orally administered levofloxacin show 24 h variation. Levofloxacin was used as a model compound for solubility and permeability independent absorption and passive renal elimination. METHODS In this single centre, crossover, open label study, 12 healthy subjects received an oral dose of 1000 mg levofloxacin at six different time points equally divided over the 24 h period. Population pharmacokinetic modelling was used to identify potential 24 h variation in the pharmacokinetic parameters of this drug. RESULTS The pharmacokinetics of levofloxacin could be described by a one compartment model with first order clearance and a transit compartment to describe drug absorption. The fit of the model was significantly improved when the absorption rate constant was described as a cosine function with a fixed period of 24 h, a relative amplitude of 47% and a peak around 08.00 h in the morning. Despite this variation in absorption rate constant, simulations of a once daily dosing regimen showed that tmax , Cmax and the area under the curve at steady-state were not affected by the time of drug administration. CONCLUSION The finding that the absorption rate constant showed considerable 24 h variation may be relevant for drugs with similar physicochemical properties as levofloxacin that have a narrower therapeutic index. Levofloxacin, however, can be dosed without taking into account the time of day, at least in terms of its pharmacokinetics.
