Abstract
Combination therapies have become increasingly researched and used in the treatment and management of complex diseases due to their ability to increase the chances for better efficacy and decreased toxicity. To evaluate drug combinations in drug development, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions between drugs in combination can be quantified using mathematical models; however, it can be difficult to deduce which models to use and how to use them to aid in clinical trial simulations to simulate the effect of a drug combination. This review paper aims to provide an overview of the various methods used to evaluate combination drug interaction for use in clinical trial development and a practical guideline on how combination modeling can be used in the settings of clinical trials.

BIOLOGY 2022; 11:biology11050758. [PMID: 35625486 PMCID: PMC9138786 DOI: 10.3390/biology11050758] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2022] [Revised: 05/12/2022] [Accepted: 05/13/2022] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
Simple Summary Throughout history, combining drugs has been a common method in the fight against complex diseases. However, potential drug–drug interactions could give rise to unknown toxicity issues, which requires the urgent proposal of efficient methods to identify potential interactions.We use computer technology and machine learning techniques to propose a novel computational framework to calculate scores of drug–drug interaction probability for simplifying the screening process. Additionally, we built an online prescreening tool for biological researchers to further verify possible interactions in the fields of biomedicine and pharmacology. Overall, our study can provide new insights and approaches for rapidly identifying potential drug–drug interactions. Abstract During the development of drug and clinical applications, due to the co-administration of different drugs that have a high risk of interfering with each other’s mechanisms of action, correctly identifying potential drug–drug interactions (DDIs) is important to avoid a reduction in drug therapeutic activities and serious injuries to the organism. Therefore, to explore potential DDIs, we develop a computational method of integrating multi-level information. Firstly, the information of chemical sequence is fully captured by the Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithm, and multiple biological function similarity information is fused by Similarity Network Fusion (SNF). Secondly, we extract deep network structure information through Hierarchical Representation Learning for Networks (HARP). Then, a highly representative comprehensive feature descriptor is constructed through the self-attention module that efficiently integrates biochemical and network features. Finally, a deep neural network (DNN) is employed to generate the prediction results. Contrasted with the previous supervision model, BioChemDDI innovatively introduced graph collapse for extracting a network structure and utilized the biochemical information during the pre-training process. The prediction results of the benchmark dataset indicate that BioChemDDI outperforms other existing models. Moreover, the case studies related to three cancer diseases, including breast cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and malignancies, were analyzed using BioChemDDI. As a result, 24, 18 and 20 out of the top 30 predicted cancer-related drugs were confirmed by the databases. These experimental results demonstrate that BioChemDDI is a useful model to predict DDIs and can provide reliable candidates for biological experiments. The web server of BioChemDDI predictor is freely available to conduct further studies.

Abstract
Background Because drug–drug interactions (DDIs) may cause adverse drug reactions or contribute to complex-disease treatments, it is important to identify DDIs before multiple-drug medications are prescribed. As the alternative of high-cost experimental identifications, computational approaches provide a much cheaper screening for potential DDIs on a large scale manner. Nevertheless, most of them only predict whether or not one drug interacts with another, but neglect their enhancive (positive) and depressive (negative) changes of pharmacological effects. Moreover, these comprehensive DDIs do not occur at random, but exhibit a weakly balanced relationship (a structural property when considering the DDI network), which would help understand how high-order DDIs work. Results This work exploits the intrinsically structural relationship to solve two tasks, including drug community detection as well as comprehensive DDI prediction in the cold-start scenario. Accordingly, we first design a balance regularized semi-nonnegative matrix factorization (BRSNMF) to partition the drugs into communities. Then, to predict enhancive and degressive DDIs in the cold-start scenario, we develop a BRSNMF-based predictive approach, which technically leverages drug-binding proteins (DBP) as features to associate new drugs (having no known DDI) with other drugs (having known DDIs). Our experiments demonstrate that BRSNMF can generate the drug communities, which exhibit more reasonable sizes, the property of weak balance as well as pharmacological significances. Moreover, they demonstrate the superiority of DBP features and the inspiring ability of the BRSNMF-based predictive approach on comprehensive DDI prediction with 94% accuracy among top-50 predicted enhancive and 86% accuracy among bottom-50 predicted degressive DDIs. Conclusions Owing to the regularization of the weak balance property of the comprehensive DDI network into semi-nonnegative matrix factorization, our proposed BRSNMF is able to not only generate better drug communities but also provide an inspiring comprehensive DDI prediction in the cold-start scenario.

Abstract
Background A significant number of adverse drug reactions is caused by unexpected Drug-drug interactions (DDIs). The identification of DDIs becomes crucial before the co-prescription of multiple drugs is made. Such a task in clinics or in drug discovery usually requires high costs and numerous limitations, while computational approaches are able to predict potential DDIs effectively by utilizing diverse drug attributes (e.g. side effects). Nevertheless, they’re incapable when required to predict enhancive and degressive DDIs, which change increasingly and decreasingly the pharmacological behavior of interacting drugs respectively. The pharmacological change of DDIs is one of the most important factors when making a multi-drug prescription. Results In this work, we design a Triple Matrix Factorization-based Unified Framework (TMFUF) to address the above issue. By leveraging a group of side effect entries of drugs, TMFUF achieves the inspiring result (AUC = 0.842 and AUPR = 0.526) in the case of conventional DDI prediction under the traditional screening task. In the comparison with two state-of-the-art approaches, TMFUF demonstrates it superiority by ~ 7% and ~ 20% improvement in terms of AUC and AUPR respectively. More importantly, TMFUF shows its ability in the comprehensive DDI prediction under different screening tasks. Finally, a utilization TMFUF reveals the significant pairs of side effects, which contribute to form enhancive and degressive DDIs, for further clinical validation. Conclusions The proposed TMFUF is first capable to predict both conventional binary DDIs and comprehensive DDIs such that it captures the pharmacological changes caused by DDIs. Furthermore, it provides a unified solution of DDI prediction for two screening scenarios, which involves newly given drugs having no prior interaction. Another advantage is its ability to indicate how significantly the pairs of drug features contribute to form DDIs.

Abstract
Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) may trigger adverse drug reactions, which endanger the patients. DDI identification before making clinical medications is critical but bears a high cost in clinics. Computational approaches, including global model-based and local model based, are able to screen DDI candidates among a large number of drug pairs by utilizing preliminary characteristics of drugs (e.g. drug chemical structure). However, global model-based approaches are usually slow and don't consider the topological structure of DDI network, while local model-based approaches have the degree-induced bias that a new drug tends to link to the drug having many DDI. All of them lack an effective ensemble method to combine results from multiple predictors. To address the first two issues, we propose a local classification-based model (LCM), which considers the topology of DDI network and has the relaxation of the degree-induced bias. Furthermore, we design a novel supervised fusion rule based on the Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence (LCM-DS), which aggregates the results from multiple LCMs. To make the final prediction, LCM-DS integrates three aspects from multiple classifiers, including the posterior probabilities output by individual classifiers, the proximity between their instance decision profiles and their reference profiles, as well as the quality of their reference profiles. Last, the substantial comparison with three state-of-the-art approaches demonstrates the effectiveness of our LCM, and the comparison with both individual LCM implementations and classical fusion algorithms exhibits the superiority of our LCM-DS.

Abstract
Background Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) always cause unexpected and even adverse drug reactions. It is important to identify DDIs before drugs are used in the market. However, preclinical identification of DDIs requires much money and time. Computational approaches have exhibited their abilities to predict potential DDIs on a large scale by utilizing pre-market drug properties (e.g. chemical structure). Nevertheless, none of them can predict two comprehensive types of DDIs, including enhancive and degressive DDIs, which increases and decreases the behaviors of the interacting drugs respectively. There is a lack of systematic analysis on the structural relationship among known DDIs. Revealing such a relationship is very important, because it is able to help understand how DDIs occur. Both the prediction of comprehensive DDIs and the discovery of structural relationship among them play an important guidance when making a co-prescription. Results In this work, treating a set of comprehensive DDIs as a signed network, we design a novel model (DDINMF) for the prediction of enhancive and degressive DDIs based on semi-nonnegative matrix factorization. Inspiringly, DDINMF achieves the conventional DDI prediction (AUROC = 0.872 and AUPR = 0.605) and the comprehensive DDI prediction (AUROC = 0.796 and AUPR = 0.579). Compared with two state-of-the-art approaches, DDINMF shows it superiority. Finally, representing DDIs as a binary network and a signed network respectively, an analysis based on NMF reveals crucial knowledge hidden among DDIs. Conclusions Our approach is able to predict not only conventional binary DDIs but also comprehensive DDIs. More importantly, it reveals several key points about the DDI network: (1) both binary and signed networks show fairly clear clusters, in which both drug degree and the difference between positive degree and negative degree show significant distribution; (2) the drugs having large degrees tend to have a larger difference between positive degree and negative degree; (3) though the binary DDI network contains no information about enhancive and degressive DDIs at all, it implies some of their relationship in the comprehensive DDI matrix; (4) the occurrence of signs indicating enhancive and degressive DDIs is not random because the comprehensive DDI network is equipped with a structural balance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Medical inpatients are at increased risk of QT interval prolongation due to multiple risk actors and QT prolonging drugs. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of risk factors for QT prolongation; QT prolonging medications; associated drug-drug interactions (QT-DDIs); their predictors; and TdP (torsades de pointes) risks of drugs. METHODS This cohort study was carried out in medical wards of two tertiary hospitals in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The QT-DDIs were identified using Micromedex DrugReax® and AZCERT (Arizona Center for Education and Research on Therapeutics) QT drugs lists. AZCERT QT drugs lists were used to identify TdP risks. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of QT-DDIs. RESULTS Total 400 patients were included in this study. The most frequent QT prolonging risk factors included use of ≥1 QT prolonging drugs (74.5%), female gender (55%) and diabetes mellitus (36.3%). Total 487 QT prolonging drugs were identified. According to AZCERT classification, 33.8% of the interacting drugs were included in list-1 (known risk of TdP), 0.9% in list-2 (possible risk of TdP) and 58.8% in list-3 (conditional risk of TdP). The occurrence of QT-DDIs was significantly associated with ≥10 prescribed medications (p = 0.01), chronic liver disease (p = 0.05), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (p = 0.03), gastroenteritis (p = 0.02), antimicrobials (p < 0.001), antiemetics (p < 0.001) and antinausea (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION A substantial number of patients were exposed to risk factors for QT prolongation; and QT prolonging drugs such as proton pump inhibitors, antimicrobials and diuretics which may lead to serious outcomes.

Abstract
A quantitative systems toxicology (QST) model for citalopram was established to simulate, in silico, a 'virtual twin' of a real patient to predict the occurrence of cardiotoxic events previously reported in patients under various clinical conditions. The QST model considers the effects of citalopram and its most notable electrophysiologically active primary (desmethylcitalopram) and secondary (didesmethylcitalopram) metabolites, on cardiac electrophysiology. The in vitro cardiac ion channel current inhibition data was coupled with the biophysically detailed model of human cardiac electrophysiology to investigate the impact of (i) the inhibition of multiple ion currents (IKr, IKs, ICaL); (ii) the inclusion of metabolites in the QST model; and (iii) unbound or total plasma as the operating drug concentration, in predicting clinically observed QT prolongation. The inclusion of multiple ion channel current inhibition and metabolites in the simulation with unbound plasma citalopram concentration provided the lowest prediction error. The predictive performance of the model was verified with three additional therapeutic and supra-therapeutic drug exposure clinical cases. The results indicate that considering only the hERG ion channel inhibition of only the parent drug is potentially misleading, and the inclusion of active metabolite data and the influence of other ion channel currents should be considered to improve the prediction of potential cardiac toxicity. Mechanistic modelling can help bridge the gaps existing in the quantitative translation from preclinical cardiac safety assessment to clinical toxicology. Moreover, this study shows that the QST models, in combination with appropriate drug and systems parameters, can pave the way towards personalised safety assessment.

Abstract
Anti-arrhythmic drugs are a mainstay in the management of symptoms related to arrhythmias, and are adjuncts in prevention and treatment of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. However, they also have the potential for pro-arrhythmia and thus the prediction of arrhythmia predisposition and drug response are critical issues. Clinical trials are the latter stages in the safety testing and efficacy process prior to market release, and as such serve as a critical safeguard. In this review, we look at some of the lessons to be learned from approaches to arrhythmia prediction in patients, clinical trials of drugs used in the treatment of arrhythmias, and the implications for the design of pre-clinical safety pharmacology testing.
