Abstract
Investigations on acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning struggle to highlight a relevant discriminant criterion related to CO poisoning severity for predicting complications, such as delayed neurological syndromes. In this context, it remains difficult to demonstrate the superiority of one method of oxygen (O2) administration over others or to identify the optimal duration of normobaric 100% oxygen (NBO) treatment. Myoglobin, as hemoglobin, are a potential binding site for CO, which could be a source of extravascular CO storage that impacts the severity of CO poisoning. It is not possible in routine clinical practice to estimate this potential extravascular CO storage. Indirect means of doing so that are available in the first few hours of poisoning could include, for example, the carboxyhemoglobin half-life (COHbt1/2), which seems to be influenced itself by the level and duration of CO exposure affecting this store of CO within the body. However, before the elimination of CO can be assessed, the COHbt1/2 toxicokinetic model must be confirmed: research still debates whether this model mono- or bi-compartmental. The second indirect mean could be the assessment of a potential COHb rebound after COHb has returned to 5% and NBO treatment has stopped. Moreover, a COHb rebound could be considered to justify the duration of NBO treatment. On an experimental swine model exposed to moderate CO poisoning (940 ppm for ±118 min until COHb reached 30%), we first confirm that the COHb half-life follows a bi-compartmental model. Secondly, we observe for the first time a slight COHb rebound when COHb returns to 5% and oxygen therapy is stopped. On the basis of these two toxicokinetic characteristics in favor of extravascular CO storage, we recommend that COHbt1/2 is considered using the bi-compartmental model in future clinical studies that compare treatment effectiveness as a potential severity criterion to homogenize cohorts of the same severity. Moreover, from a general toxicokinetic point of view, we confirm that a treatment lasting less than 6 hours appears to be insufficient for treating moderate CO poisoning.

Abstract
Atorvastatin (ATV) and other statins are highly effective in reducing cholesterol levels. However, in some patients, the development of drug-associated muscle side effects remains an issue as it compromises the adherence to treatment. Since the toxicity is dose-dependent, exploring factors modulating pharmacokinetics (PK) appears fundamental. The purpose of this review aims at reporting the current state of knowledge about the singular genetic susceptibilities influencing the risk of developing ATV muscle adverse events through PK modulations. Multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in efflux (ABCB1, ABCC1, ABCC2, ABCC4 and ABCG2) and influx (SLCO1B1, SLCO1B3 and SLCO2B1) transporters have been explored for their association with ATV PK modulation or with statin-related myotoxicities (SRM) development. The most convincing pharmacogenetic association with ATV remains the influence of the rs4149056 (c.521 T > C) in SLCO1B1 on ATV PK and pharmacodynamics. This SNP has been robustly associated with increased ATV systemic exposure and consequently, an increased risk of SRM. Additionally, the SNP rs2231142 (c.421C > A) in ABCG2 has also been associated with increased drug exposure and higher risk of SRM occurrence. SLCO1B1 and ABCG2 pharmacogenetic associations highlight that modulation of ATV systemic exposure is important to explain the risk of developing SRM. However, some novel observations credit the hypothesis that additional genes (e.g. SLCO2B1 or ABCC1) might be important for explaining local PK modulations within the muscle tissue, indicating that studying the local PK directly at the skeletal muscle level might pave the way for additional understanding.

Abstract
Clinical use of tacrolimus (TAC), an essential immunosuppressant following transplantation, is complexified by its high pharmacokinetic (PK) variability. The gut microbiota gains growing interest but limited investigations have evaluated its contribution to TAC PKs. Here, we explore the associations between the gut microbiota composition and TAC PKs. In this pilot cross-sectional study (Clinicaltrial.gov NCT04360031), we recruited 93 CYP3A5 non-expressers stabilized kidney transplant recipients. Gut microbiota composition was characterized by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, TAC PK parameters were computed, and additional demographic and medical covariates were collected. Associations between PK parameters or diabetic status and the gut microbiota composition, as reflected by α- and β-diversity metrics, were evaluated. Patients with higher TAC area under the curve AUC/(dose/kg) had higher bacterial richness, and TAC PK parameters were associated with specific bacterial taxa (e.g., Bilophila) and amplicon sequence variant (ASV; e.g., ASV 1508 and ASV 1982 (Veillonella/unclassified Sporomusaceae); ASV 664 (unclassified Oscillospiraceae)). Building a multiple linear regression model showed that ASV 1508 (co-abundant with ASV 1982) and ASV 664 explained, respectively, 16.0% and 4.6% of the interindividual variability in TAC AUC/(dose/kg) in CYP3A5 non-expresser patients, when adjusting for hematocrit and age. Anaerostipes relative abundance was decreased in patients with diabetes. Altogether, this pilot study revealed unprecedented links between the gut microbiota composition and diversity and TAC PKs in stable kidney transplant recipients. It supports the relevance of studying the gut microbiota as an important contributor to TAC PK variability. Elucidating the causal relationship will offer new perspectives to predict TAC inter- and intra-PK variability.

Abstract
Although switching to antipsychotic monotherapy improves patient outcomes in schizophrenia, antipsychotic deprescribing is rarely performed, and its use varies between countries, as do psychotropic prescribing patterns. This study aimed to determine factors associated with antipsychotic deprescribing at discharge after a psychiatric hospitalization and to compare psychotropic prescribing patterns between Belgium and Québec, Canada. Data on adult inpatients with schizophrenia were collected retrospectively in seven hospitals. At discharge, the number of antipsychotics had decreased in 22.2% of the 63 Canadian patients and 9.9% of the 516 Belgian patients. A number of factors increased the likelihood of antipsychotic deprescribing: a hospitalization in the Canadian hospital (aOR = 4.13, 95% CI 1.48-11.5), living in a residential facility (aOR = 2.51, 95% CI 1.05-4.39), ≥2 previous antipsychotic trials (aOR = 15.38, 95% CI 3.62-65.36), having an antipsychotic side effect (aOR = 1.86, 95% CI 1.01-3.44) and being in a general hospital (aOR = 2.28, 95% CI 1.09-4.75). Patients on a long-acting injectable antipsychotic (aOR = 0.51, 95% CI 0.26-0.98), with prior clozapine use (aOR = 0.36, 95% CI 0.13-0.95), greater antipsychotic exposure (aOR = 0.35, 95% CI 0.2-0.61) and more hypno-sedatives (aOR = 0.65, 95% CI 0.43-0.98), were less likely to be deprescribed. Specific deprescribing interventions could target patients who are less likely to be deprescribed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Following solid organ transplantation, tacrolimus (TAC) is an essential drug in the immunosuppressive strategy. Its use constitutes a challenge due to its narrow therapeutic index and its high inter- and intra-pharmacokinetic (PK) variability. As the contribution of the gut microbiota to drug metabolism is now emerging, it might be explored as one of the factors explaining TAC PK variability. Herein, we explored the consequences of TAC administration on the gut microbiota composition. Reciprocally, we studied the contribution of the gut microbiota to TAC PK, using a combination of in vivo and in vitro models. RESULTS TAC oral administration in mice resulted in compositional alterations of the gut microbiota, namely lower evenness and disturbance in the relative abundance of specific bacterial taxa. Compared to controls, mice with a lower intestinal microbial load due to antibiotics administration exhibit a 33% reduction in TAC whole blood exposure and a lower inter-individual variability. This reduction in TAC levels was strongly correlated with higher expression of the efflux transporter ABCB1 (also known as the p-glycoprotein (P-gp) or the multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1)) in the small intestine. Conventionalization of germ-free mice confirmed the ability of the gut microbiota to downregulate ABCB1 expression in a site-specific fashion. The functional inhibition of ABCB1 in vivo by zosuquidar formally established the implication of this efflux transporter in the modulation of TAC PK by the gut microbiota. Furthermore, we showed that polar bacterial metabolites could recapitulate the transcriptional regulation of ABCB1 by the gut microbiota, without affecting its functionality. Finally, whole transcriptome analyses pinpointed, among others, the Constitutive Androstane Receptor (CAR) as a transcription factor likely to mediate the impact of the gut microbiota on ABCB1 transcriptional regulation. CONCLUSIONS We highlight for the first time how the modulation of ABCB1 expression by bacterial metabolites results in changes in TAC PK, affecting not only blood levels but also the inter-individual variability. More broadly, considering the high number of drugs with unexplained PK variability transported by ABCB1, our work is of clinical importance and paves the way for incorporating the gut microbiota in prediction algorithms for dosage of such drugs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although atorvastatin (ATV) is well-tolerated, patients may report muscle complaints. These are difficult to predict owing to high interindividual variability. Such side effects are linked to intramuscular accumulation of ATV. This study aimed to investigate the relative role of transporters expressed in muscle tissue in promoting or limiting drug access to cells. The impact of common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in SLCO2B1 coding for OATP2B1 and ABCC1 coding for MRP1 on ATV transport was also evaluated. METHODS HEK293 cells were stably transfected with plasmids containing cDNA encoding wild-type or variant SLCO2B1 and/or ABCC1 to generate single and double stable transfectant HEK293 recombinant models overexpressing variant or wild-type OATP2B1 (influx) and/or MRP1 (efflux) proteins. Variant plasmids were generated by site-directed mutagenesis. Expression analyses were performed to validate recombinant models. Accumulation and efflux experiments were performed at different concentrations. ATV was quantified by LC-MS/MS, and kinetic parameters were compared between single and double HEK transfectants expressing wild-type and variant proteins. RESULTS The results confirm the involvement of OATP2B1 and MRP1 in ATV cellular transport because it was demonstrated that intracellular accumulation of ATV was boosted by OATP2B1 overexpression, whereas ATV accumulation was decreased by MRP1 overexpression. In double transfectants, it was observed that increased ATV intracellular accumulation driven by OATP2B1 influx was partially counteracted by MRP1 efflux. The c.935G > A SNP in SLCO2B1 was associated with decreased ATV OATP2B1-mediated influx, whereas the c.2012G > T SNP in ABCC1 seemed to increase MRP1 efflux activity against ATV. CONCLUSIONS Intracellular ATV accumulation is regulated by OATP2B1 and MRP1 transporters, whose functionality is modulated by natural genetic variants. This is significant because it may play a role in ATV muscle side-effect susceptibility.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (Paxlovid) consists of a peptidomimetic inhibitor (nirmatrelvir) of the SARS-CoV-2 main protease and a pharmacokinetic enhancer (ritonavir). It is approved for the treatment of mild-to-moderate COVID-19. This combination of nirmatrelvir and ritonavir can mediate significant and complex drug-drug interactions (DDIs), primarily due to the ritonavir component. Indeed, ritonavir inhibits the metabolism of nirmatrelvir through cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) leading to higher plasma concentrations and a longer half-life of nirmatrelvir. Coadministration of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir with immunosuppressive drugs (ISDs) is particularly challenging given the major involvement of CYP3A in the metabolism of most of these drugs and their narrow therapeutic ranges. Exposure of ISDs will be drastically increased through the potent ritonavir-mediated inhibition of CYP3A, resulting in an increased risk of adverse drug reactions. Although a decrease in the dosage of ISDs can prevent toxicity, an inappropriate dosage regimen may also result in insufficient exposure and a risk of rejection. Here, we provide some general recommendations for therapeutic drug monitoring of ISDs and dosing recommendations when coadministered with nirmatrelvir/ritonavir. Particularly, tacrolimus should be discontinued, or patients should be given a microdose on day 1, whereas cyclosporine dosage should be reduced to 20% of the initial dosage during the antiviral treatment. Dosages of mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors (m-TORis) should also be adjusted while dosages of mycophenolic acid and corticosteroids are expected to be less impacted.

Abstract
Temocillin is active against Gram-negative bacteria, including many extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales. We studied its pharmacokinetics in plasma and ascitic fluid after intravenous administration of a loading dose of 2 g over 30 min, followed by continuous infusion of 6 g/24 h, to 19 critically-ill patients with septic shock associated with complicated intra-abdominal infection. We established a pharmacokinetic model describing unbound temocillin concentrations in plasma and ascitic fluid and performed Monte-Carlo simulations to evaluate the probability of target attainment (PTA) of unbound concentrations (100% fT > MIC, i.e., unbound concentrations remaining above the MIC during 100% of the time) for the applied and hypothetical dosing regimens. The temocillin AUC in ascitic fluid was 46% of the plasma AUC. Plasma unbound concentrations were best described by a two-compartment model, and an additional compartment was added to describe unbound concentration in ascitic fluid, with renal clearance as a covariate. Dosing simulations showed that 90% PTA was achieved in the plasma with the current dosing regimen for MIC ≤ 16 mg/L (EUCAST susceptibility breakpoint) but not in the ascitic fluid if renal clearance was ≥40 mL/min. Hypothetical dosing with a higher (a) loading dose or (b) infused dose allowed to reach target concentrations in ascitic fluid (a) more rapidly or (b) sustainably, but these simulations need to be evaluated in the clinics for safety and efficacy.

Abstract
More than two years on, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc around the world and has battle-tested the pandemic-situation responses of all major global governments. Two key areas of investigation that are still unclear are: the molecular mechanisms that lead to heterogenic patient outcomes, and the causes of Post COVID condition (AKA Long-COVID). In this paper, we introduce the HYGIEIA project, designed to respond to the enormous challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic through a multi-omic approach supported by network medicine. It is hoped that in addition to investigating COVID-19, the logistics deployed within this project will be applicable to other infectious agents, pandemic-type situations, and also other complex, non-infectious diseases. Here, we first look at previous research into COVID-19 in the context of the proteome, metabolome, transcriptome, microbiome, host genome, and viral genome. We then discuss a proposed methodology for a large-scale multi-omic longitudinal study to investigate the aforementioned biological strata through high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and mass-spectrometry (MS) technologies. Lastly, we discuss how a network medicine approach can be used to analyze the data and make meaningful discoveries, with the final aim being the translation of these discoveries into the clinics to improve patient care.

Abstract
Introduction A high prevalence of antipsychotic polypharmacy (APP) and low utilisation of clozapine is considered as inappropriate prescribing that can lead to suboptimal treatment, increased risk of poor response or adverse effects. Objectives To explore the evolution of prevalence of APP and associated factors as well as clozapine prescribing patterns between hospital admission and discharge. Methods We collected retrospective data on adult inpatients diagnosed with schizophrenia spectrum disorders in 2020-2021 in 6 Belgian hospitals. Results Of the 516 patients analysed, APP prescribing significantly increased from 47.9% on hospital admission to 59.1% at discharge. Both on admission and at discharge, APP was associated with treatment with a first-generation antipsychotic, not being treated with an antidepressant nor a mood stabilizer, high antipsychotic dosage, increased number of psychoactive cotreatments and total medicines. A lower number of comorbidities (OR=0.68, CI=0.50-0.91), no treatment with benzodiazepines (OR=0.02, CI=0.01-0.09) nor with trazodone or sedative antihistamines (OR=0.06, CI=0.01-0.03) and two or more previous antipsychotic trials (OR=4.91, CI=1.30-18.57) was associated with APP on admission only. APP at discharge was more frequent in patients with antipsychotic adverse effects (OR=2.57, CI=1.10-6.00), prior clozapine use (OR=16.30, CI=3.27-81.22) and not involuntary admitted (OR=0.26 CI=0.08-0.88). Contrary to admission, treatment with benzodiazepines was associated with APP at discharge (OR=10.9, CI=3.38-5.38). Only 9.3% of admitted patients were treated with clozapine. Although 28.1% were eligible, clozapine was introduced to 10 patients leading to 11% being discharged on it. Conclusions Inappropriate prescribing of antipsychotics to schizophrenia patients persist after psychiatric hospitalisations and are associated with identifiable characteristics. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antipsychotic polypharmacy (APP) prescribing and clozapine underuse are considered inappropriate prescribing in schizophrenia. Psychiatric hospitalisations may be suitable occasions to re-evaluate patient pharmacotherapy and to switch to monotherapy. OBJECTIVES To explore the evolution of APP and other psychotropic prescribing patterns during psychiatric hospitalisations, to detect characteristics associated with APP on admission and at discharge, and to examine clozapine prescribing patterns. DESIGN We performed a retrospective observational study based on electronic health records. METHODS Data on adult inpatients diagnosed with schizophrenia spectrum disorders were collected retrospectively from 6 Belgian hospitals in 2020-2021. RESULTS Of the 516 patients included, APP prescribing increased significantly from 47.9% on hospital admission to 59.1% at discharge. On admission and at discharge, APP was associated with prior clozapine use (ORadmission = 2.53, CI = 1.1-5.84, ORdischarge = 11.01, CI = 4.45-27.28), treatment with a first-generation antipsychotic (ORadmission = 26.79, CI = 13.08-54.86, ORdischarge = 25.2, CI = 12.2-52.04), increased antipsychotic exposure (ORadmission = 8.93, CI = 5.13-15.56, ORdischarge = 19.89, CI = 10-39.54), and a greater number of hypno-sedatives (ORadmission = 1.88, CI = 1.23-2.88, ORdischarge = 4.18, CI = 2.53-6.91). APP was negatively associated with involuntary admission (ORadmission = 0.31, CI = 0.14-0.7, ORdischarge = 0.3, CI = 0.13-0.68). When using an alternative definition of monotherapy (i.e. including patients with an add-on low-dose antipsychotic for sleep disorders), alcohol use disorder (ORadmission = 0.26, CI = 0.13-0.54) and higher age (ORdischarge = 0.53, CI = 0.29-0.95) were negatively associated with APP, and living in a residential facility (ORdischarge = 2.39 CI = 1.21-4.71) and a higher daily dosage of benzodiazepines during the stay (ORdischarge = 1.32 CI = 1.03-1.69) increased the odds of being discharged on APP. On admission, 9.3% of patients were being treated with clozapine. Although 28.1% of patients were eligible for clozapine treatment, only 11% of patients were discharged with a clozapine prescription. For 7 of the 10 patients with a new clozapine prescription, it was directly prescribed in combination with another antipsychotic, without a prior trial of clozapine monotherapy. CONCLUSION Suboptimal prescriptions of antipsychotics in patients with schizophrenia persist after psychiatric hospitalisations and are associated with identifiable characteristics.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential clinical relevance of estimating the apparent clearance (CL/F) of atorvastatin through population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) modeling with samples collected in a real‐life setting in a cohort of ambulatory patients at risk of cardiovascular disease by using an opportunistic sampling strategy easily accessible in clinical routine. A total of 132 pharmacokinetic (PK) samples at a maximum of three visits were collected in the 70 included patients. The effects of demographic, genetic, and clinical covariates were also considered. With the collected data, we developed a two‐compartment PopPK model that allowed estimating atorvastatin CL/F relatively precisely and considering the genotype of the patient for SLCO1B1 c.521T>C single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). Our results indicate that the estimation of the CL/F of atorvastatin through our PopPK model might help in identifying patients at risk of myalgia. Indeed, we showed that a patient presenting a CL/F lower than 414.67 L h−1 is at risk of suffering from muscle discomfort. We also observed that the CL/F was correlated with the efficacy outcomes, suggesting that a higher CL/F is associated with a better drug efficacy (i.e., a greater decrease in total and LDL‐cholesterol levels). In conclusion, our study demonstrates that PopPK modeling can be useful in daily clinics to estimate a patient’ atorvastatin clearance. Notifying the clinician with this information can help in identifying patients at risk of myalgia and gives indication about the potential responsiveness to atorvastatin therapy.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) is the most important drug metabolizing enzyme in the liver, responsible for the oxidative metabolism of ∼50% of clinically prescribed drugs. Therefore, genetic variation in CYP3A4 could potentially affect the pharmacokinetics, toxicity and clinical outcome of drug treatment. Thus far, pharmacogenetics for CYP3A4 has not received much attention. However, the recent discovery of the intron 6 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs35599367C > T, encoding the CYP3A4∗22 allele, led to several studies into the pharmacogenetic effect of CYP3A4∗22 on different drugs. This allele has a relatively minor allele frequency of 3-5% and an effect on CYP3A4 enzymatic activity. Thus far, no review summarizing the data published on several drugs is available yet. This article therefore addresses the current knowledge on CYP3A4∗22. This information may help in deciding if, and for which drugs, CYP3A4∗22 genotype-based dosing could be helpful in improving drug therapy. CYP3A4∗22 was shown to significantly influence the pharmacokinetics of several drugs, with currently being most thoroughly investigated tacrolimus, cyclosporine, and statins. Additional studies, focusing on toxicity and clinical outcome, are warranted to demonstrate clinical utility of CYP3A4∗22 genotype-based dosing.

Abstract
ABSTRACT When mycophenolic acid (MPA) was originally marketed for immunosuppressive therapy, fixed doses were recommended by the manufacturer. Awareness of the potential for a more personalized dosing has led to development of methods to estimate MPA area under the curve based on the measurement of drug concentrations in only a few samples. This approach is feasible in the clinical routine and has proven successful in terms of correlation with outcome. However, the search for superior correlates has continued, and numerous studies in search of biomarkers that could better predict the perfect dosage for the individual patient have been published. As it was considered timely for an updated and comprehensive presentation of consensus on the status for personalized treatment with MPA, this report was prepared following an initiative from members of the International Association of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring and Clinical Toxicology (IATDMCT). Topics included are the criteria for analytics, methods to estimate exposure including pharmacometrics, the potential influence of pharmacogenetics, development of biomarkers, and the practical aspects of implementation of target concentration intervention. For selected topics with sufficient evidence, such as the application of limited sampling strategies for MPA area under the curve, graded recommendations on target ranges are presented. To provide a comprehensive review, this report also includes updates on the status of potential biomarkers including those which may be promising but with a low level of evidence. In view of the fact that there are very few new immunosuppressive drugs under development for the transplant field, it is likely that MPA will continue to be prescribed on a large scale in the upcoming years. Discontinuation of therapy due to adverse effects is relatively common, increasing the risk for late rejections, which may contribute to graft loss. Therefore, the continued search for innovative methods to better personalize MPA dosage is warranted.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In kidney transplantation, tacrolimus (TAC) is at the cornerstone of current immunosuppressive strategies. Though because of its narrow therapeutic index, it is critical to ensure that TAC levels are maintained within this sharp window through reactive adjustments. This would allow maximizing efficiency while limiting drug-associated toxicity. However, TAC high intra- and inter-patient pharmacokinetic (PK) variability makes it more laborious to accurately predict the appropriate dosage required for a given patient. AREAS COVERED This review summarizes the state-of-the-art knowledge regarding drug interactions, demographic and pharmacogenetics factors as predictors of TAC PK. We provide a scoring index for each association to grade its relevance and we present practical recommendations, when possible for clinical practice. EXPERT OPINION The management of TAC concentration in transplanted kidney patients is as critical as it is challenging. Recommendations based on rigorous scientific evidences are lacking as knowledge of potential predictors remains limited outside of DDIs. Awareness of these limitations should pave the way for studies looking at demographic and pharmacogenetic factors as well as gut microbiota composition in order to promote tailored treatment plans. Therapeutic approaches considering patients' clinical singularities may help allowing to maintain appropriate concentration of TAC.

Abstract
Patients with COVID-19 are sometimes already being treated for one or more other chronic conditions, especially if they are elderly. Introducing a treatment against COVID-19, either on an outpatient basis or during hospitalization for more severe cases, raises the question of potential drug-drug interactions. Here, we analyzed the potential or proven risk of the co-administration of drugs used for the most common chronic diseases and those currently offered as treatment or undergoing therapeutic trials for COVID-19. Practical recommendations are offered, where possible.

Abstract
Aims The aims of this study were to describe the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus immediately after kidney transplantation, and to develop a clinical tool for selecting the best starting dose for each patient. Methods Data on tacrolimus exposure were collected for the first 3 months following renal transplantation. A population pharmacokinetic analysis was conducted using nonlinear mixed‐effects modelling. Demographic, clinical and genetic parameters were evaluated as covariates. Results A total of 4527 tacrolimus blood samples collected from 337 kidney transplant recipients were available. Data were best described using a two‐compartment model. The mean absorption rate was 3.6 h−1, clearance was 23.0 l h–1 (39% interindividual variability, IIV), central volume of distribution was 692 l (49% IIV) and the peripheral volume of distribution 5340 l (53% IIV). Interoccasion variability was added to clearance (14%). Higher body surface area (BSA), lower serum creatinine, younger age, higher albumin and lower haematocrit levels were identified as covariates enhancing tacrolimus clearance. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A5 expressers had a significantly higher tacrolimus clearance (160%), whereas CYP3A4*22 carriers had a significantly lower clearance (80%). From these significant covariates, age, BSA, CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 genotype were incorporated in a second model to individualize the tacrolimus starting dose:
Dosemg=222nghml–1*22.5lh–1*1.0ifCYP3A5*3/*3or1.62ifCYP3A5*1/*3orCYP3A5*1/*1*1.0ifCYP3A4*1or unknownor0.814ifCYP3A4*22*Age56−0.50*BSA1.930.72/1000Both models were successfully internally and externally validated. A clinical trial was simulated to demonstrate the added value of the starting dose model. Conclusions For a good prediction of tacrolimus pharmacokinetics, age, BSA, CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 genotype are important covariates. These covariates explained 30% of the variability in CL/F. The model proved effective in calculating the optimal tacrolimus dose based on these parameters and can be used to individualize the tacrolimus dose in the early period after transplantation.

Abstract
Background Serious bleeding events have been frequently described in patients taking direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC). In secondary analyses of phase 3 trials, DOAC plasma concentrations were shown to correlate with bleeding outcomes. This study aimed to describe rivaroxaban plasma levels in patients admitted to the emergency department (ED) for bleeding events. For each patient, risk factors for experiencing bleeding events were also investigated. Methods This analysis was part of an observational study conducted in the ED of two teaching hospitals. Plasma samples from 10 rivaroxaban-treated patients admitted for bleeding events were collected. Rivaroxaban plasma concentrations were determined by calibrated chromogenic anti-Xa assay. The measured rivaroxaban levels were then extrapolated at trough using a published population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) model, and compared to on-therapy ranges observed in large clinical trials. For each patient, clinical, medication and ABCB1 genotype data were collected. Results Rivaroxaban measurements varied from 5 to 358 ng/ml, with a post-intake delay ranging from 9 to 38 h. At trough, estimated plasma concentrations were between 12 and 251 ng/ml (median value 94 ng/ml). Four patients had higher-than-expected rivaroxaban levels. Inadequate dose regimen, excessive alcohol consumption and lack of treatment reassessment were observed in several patients. Half of patients were taking ≥1 drug with potential pharmacokinetics interactions (e.g. amiodarone, diltiazem), while half of patients were taking ≥1 drug increasing the risk of bleeding. All 3 patients with available genotyping data and higher-than-expected rivaroxaban levels were heterozygous or homozygous mutated for the ABCB1 1236C > T, 2677G > T, 3435 C > T and rs4148738 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP). Conclusions Rivaroxaban patients admitted to the ED for bleeding events showed highly variable plasma concentrations. This analysis underlines the usefulness of rapid DOAC measurement and the value of PopPK models to estimate concentrations at trough in a context where the post-intake delay is unmanageable. Close patient follow-up, including renal function assessment and drug interactions review, is essential for bleeding risk minimization.

Abstract
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) are substrates for the ABCB1 transporter (also called P-glycoprotein), an active efflux pump. ABCB1 polymorphisms have been previously reported to influence the pharmacokinetics of several drugs such as immunosuppressants and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Recently, in vivo studies have suggested that genetic variants might contribute to the inter-individual variability in DOAC plasma concentrations. Therefore, we evaluated the in vitro effect of the most common coding ABCB1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), 1236 C > T-2677G > T-3435C > T, and the coding ABCB1 1199 G > A SNP on the transport activity towards rivaroxaban. HEK293 cells were transfected to overexpress the ABCB1 wild-type (1236C-2677G-3435C, 1199 G) or variant proteins (1236C-2677G-3435T, 1236T-2677T-3435T or 1199 A). ABCB1 expression decreased the intracellular accumulation of rivaroxaban, when compared to control cells. This confirms the involvement of ABCB1 in the active transport of rivaroxaban. However, the ABCB1 1236 C > T-2677G > T-3435C > T and 1199 G > A SNPs had no significant influence on the intracellular accumulation of rivaroxaban when compared to the wild-type protein. These results suggest that the ABCB1 coding SNPs investigated in the present study are unlikely to contribute to the inter-individual variability in rivaroxaban plasma concentrations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Several antiretroviral drugs used to treat infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are substrates of enzymes belonging to the cytochrome P450 (CYP) superfamily, which are polymorphically expressed. It may therefore be useful to take into account the genetic variation in these enzymes to predict the likelihood of anti-HIV treatment success, toxicity and the potential for drug-drug interactions. Areas covered: In this manuscript, the authors discuss the current state of knowledge regarding pharmacogenetic associations between CYP and all major antiretrovirals, as well as the importance of these associations. Expert opinion: While many pharmacogenetic associations for CYP have been described in the literature, replication studies are sometimes lacking. The implementation of this knowledge in clinical practice also remains difficult. Further efforts are required both to expand this field of knowledge and to enable its use in everyday clinical practice.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of UGT1A1 polymorphisms on Raltegravir (RAL) and its metabolite RAL-glucuronide trough plasma concentrations ([RAL]plasma and [RAL-glu]plasma) and on the metabolic ratio (MR): [RAL-glu]plasma/[RAL]plasma. UGT1A1 genotyping was performed on 96 patients. 44% (n = 42) were homozygous UGT1A1*1/*1 while 50% (n = 48) and 6% (n = 6) were UGT1A1*28 and UGT1A1*36 carriers, respectively. The median concentration and interquartile range (IQR) of [RAL]plasma were 88.5 ng/ml (41.0-236), 168 ng/ml (85.8-318) and 92.5 ng/ml (36.4-316) for UGT1A1*1/*1, UGT1A1*28 and UGT1A1*36 carriers, respectively. Only the difference between UGT1A1*1/*1 and *28 carriers was statistically significant (p = 0.022). The median MR (IQR) were 5.8 (3-10), 2.9 (1.6-5.3) and 3.2 (1.7-5.9) for UGT1A1*1/*1, UGT1A1*28 and UGT1A1*36 carriers, respectively. Only the difference between UGT1A1*1/*1 and *28 carriers was statistically significant (p = 0.004) with an allele-dependent effect: UGT1A1*28 homozygous having lower MR than heterozygous carriers who show lower MR compared to *1/*1. Except for the sensation of fatigue, this PK effect did not correlate with clinical adverse events or biological abnormalities. In Conclusion, we demonstrate that UGT1A1*28 polymorphism has a significant impact on RAL metabolism: UGT1A1*28 carriers being characterized by higher [RAL]plasma and lower MR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CYP3A5 and CYP3A4 genes have been reported to be an important cause of variability in the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus in renal transplant patients. The aim of this study was to merge all of the new genetic information available with tacrolimus pharmacokinetics to generate a more robust population model with data from renal transplant recipients. METHODS Tacrolimus exposure data from 304 renal transplant recipients were collected throughout the first year after transplantation and were simultaneously analyzed with a population pharmacokinetic approach using NONMEM® version 7.2. RESULTS The tacrolimus whole-blood concentration versus time data were best described by a two-open-compartment model with inter-occasion variability assigned to plasma clearance. The following factors led to the final model, which significantly decreased the minimum objective function value (p < 0.001): a new genotype cluster variable combining the CYP3A5*3 and CYP3A4*22 SNPs defined as extensive, intermediate, and poor metabolizers; the standardization of tacrolimus whole blood concentrations to a hematocrit value of 45%; and age included as patients <63 years versus patients ≥63 years. External validation confirmed the prediction ability of the model with median bias and precision values of 1.17 ng/mL (95% confidence interval [CI] -3.68 to 4.50) and 1.64 ng/mL (95% CI 0.11-5.50), respectively. Simulations showed that, for a given age and hematocrit at the same fixed dose, extensive metabolizers required the highest doses followed by intermediate metabolizers and then poor metabolizers. CONCLUSIONS Tacrolimus disposition in renal transplant recipients was described using a new population pharmacokinetic model that included the CYP3A5*3 and CYP3A4*22 genotype, age, and hematocrit.

Abstract
A validated CYP3A genotype classification system allows clustering patients into poor, intermediate and extensive metabolizer phenotypes. However, substantial overlap exists between the clusters. A rare CYP3A4 allele, named CYP3A4*20 (rs67666821), has been specifically described in the Spanish population. The authors investigated the relevance of CYP3A4*20 testing to see if the above-mentioned metabolic CYP3A classification system can be improved. In a cohort of 204 kidney transplant recipients, one male patient carrying a CYP3A4*20 allele was detected. This patient was receiving very low doses of tacrolimus to maintain therapeutic levels from day 7 onward when compared with the majority of the patients. These data suggest that this patient should be regarded as a CYP3A-poor metabolizer.

Abstract
Aim: To test the relevance of revisiting the genotype classification based on CYP3A5*3 solely by incorporating CYP3A4*22 information. Methods: Discriminant analysis of principal component was performed to evaluate the relevance of either the CYP3A (CYP3A5 + CYP3A4 genotypes) or CYP3A5*3 classification variables. This analysis was based on a linear combination of noncompartmental pharmacokinetics parameters. Results: Discriminant analysis of principal component gave better results with CYP3A compared with CYP3A5*3 clustering. The centroid means of the pharmacokinetics variables were significantly different with CYP3A genotype clustering (p = 0.04) but not with CYP3A5*3 solely (p = 0.06). Canonical plots reveal a better delimitation of clusters with CYP3A genotype compared with CYP3A5*3 and the reciever operating characteristic curves confirm this better discriminative power. Conclusion: We provide strong arguments of incorporating CYP3A4*22 genotype in practice to fine-tune the existing Clinical Phamacogenetics Implementation Consortium guidelines in the Caucasian population.

Abstract
AIM To assess association between genetic variants and opioid requirement in cancer patients. MATERIALS & METHODS A prospective observational trial of 243 advanced cancer patients with inadequate analgesia treated by the palliative care team was analyzed for ABCB1, ARRB2, COMT, GCH1, IL1RN, KCNJ6, OPRM1, RHBDF2, SCN9A and Stat6 polymorphisms. RESULTS For patients carrying OPRM1 118AG/GG and COMT 472GG (Val158Val) or these genotypes alone, a significant higher median percentage dose increase was observed (95.2% [32.8-345]) compared with OPRM1 118AA and COMT 472GA/AA (158Met allele carriers; 48.5% [0-98.8]; p = 0.0016). No associations were found with morphine equivalent dose after consultation palliative care team or ketamine use. CONCLUSION Patients with the combined OPRM1 118AG/GG and COMT 472GG genotype required 50% higher dose increase for sufficient analgesia.

Abstract
Tacrolimus (Tac) is a profoundly effective immunosuppressant that reduces the risk of rejection after solid organ transplantation. However, its use is hampered by its narrow therapeutic window along with its highly variable pharmacological (pharmacokinetic [PK] and pharmacodynamic [PD]) profile. Part of this variability is explained by genetic polymorphisms affecting the metabolic pathway. The integration of CYP3A4 and CY3A5 genotype in tacrolimus population-based PK (PopPK) modeling approaches has been proven to accurately predict the dose requirement to reach the therapeutic window. The objective of the present study was to develop an accurate PopPK model in a cohort of 59 kidney transplant patients to deliver this information to clinicians in a clear and actionable manner. We conducted a non-parametric non-linear effects PopPK modeling analysis in Pmetrics®. Patients were genotyped for the CYP3A4∗22 and CYP3A5∗3 alleles and were classified into 3 different categories [poor-metabolizers (PM), Intermediate-metabolizers (IM) or extensive-metabolizers (EM)]. A one-compartment model with double gamma absorption route described very accurately the tacrolimus PK. In covariate analysis, only CYP3A genotype was retained in the final model (Δ-2LL = -73). Our model estimated that tacrolimus concentrations were 33% IC95%[20–26%], 41% IC95%[36–45%] lower in CYP3A IM and EM when compared to PM, respectively. Virtually, we proved that defining different starting doses for PM, IM and EM would be beneficial by ensuring better probability of target concentrations attainment allowing us to define new dosage recommendations according to patient CYP3A genetic profile.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the impact of the loss-of-function CYP3A5*3 allele (rs776746, 6986A>G SNP) on darunavir (DRV) plasma concentrations. METHODS 135 HIV-1 infected patients treated with DRV-based therapy were included in the study and plasma samples were obtained immediately before drug intake in order to determine DRV trough concentrations using an ultra performance liquid chromatography method (UPLC) with diode-array detection (DAD). Noteworthy is the fact that in 16 (11.9%) patients, etravirine (ETR) was combined with DRV. CYP3A5 genotypes were determined using real time PCR method (TaqMan® genotyping assay). The patients were then classified into CYP3A5 expressors (CYP3A5*1 allele carriers) and non-expressors (CYP3A5*3 homozygous). Subsequently, the association between DRV plasma trough concentration ([DRV]plasma) and CYP3A5 genotype-based expression status was analyzed. RESULTS 45% of the patients were classified as CYP3A5 expressors. In the whole cohort, mean [DRV]plasma was not different between CYP3A5 expressors and non-expressors (1894ng/ml [CI95%: 1566-2290] versus 1737ng/ml [CI95%: 1468-2057], p = 0.43). However, in the subgroup of the 16 patients receiving DRV combined with ETR, a significantly lower [DRV]plasma was observed for CYP3A5 expressors when compared to non-expressors (1385ng/ml [CI95%:886.3-2165] versus 3141ng/ml [CI95%:2042-4831], p = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS Interaction between DRV and ETR is partly mediated by CYP3A5 polymorphism with lower DRV plasma trough concentrations in CYP3A5 expressors suggesting a specific ETR-driven CYP3A5 activation only in CYP3A5 expressors. Consequently, these patients might be more at risk of infra-therapeutic [DRV]plasma. This potentially important observation is a good illustration of a genotype-based drug interaction, which could also have considerable consequences if translated to other CYP3A5-metabolized drugs. Further investigations are thus needed to confirm this association and to explore its clinical impact, mainly in the African population among whom CYP3A5 expressors are more frequent, before recommending systematic CYP3A5 pre-emptive genotyping for DRV-ETR co-administration.

Abstract
AIM ABCB1 (or P-glycoprotein) is implicated in the multidrug-resistance phenotype, including the resistance toward anticancer drugs such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The purpose of this study was to evaluate in vitro the influence of the ABCB1 1199G>A SNP on ABCB1 transport activity toward selected TKIs (imatinib, nilotinib and dasatinib) that are currently used in chronic myelogenous leukemia. MATERIAL & METHODS Two different cell lines, HEK293 and K562, were stably transfected with ABCB1 1199G wild-type or ABCB1 1199A variant allele. The impact of this polymorphism on accumulation and antiproliferative effects of imatinib, nilotinib and dasatinib was evaluated. RESULTS In K562 models, the expression of Asn400 variant protein was associated with lower antiproliferative effects of imatinib, nilotinib and dasatinib compared with Ser400 wild-type protein. Moreover, in HEK293 cells, imatinib and nilotinib intracellular accumulation were lower in variant compared with wild-type models. CONCLUSION Imatinib, nilotinib and dasatinib are transported more efficiently by the ABCB1 variant (Asn400) compared with the wild-type (Ser400) protein. The impact of ABCB1 1199G>A SNP on TKI response should be further investigated in chronic myelogenous leukemia patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe the validation of a sensitive high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method allowing the simultaneous quantification of darunavir (DRV) and etravirine (ETR) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and its application in a cohort of HIV-1 infected patients. METHODS Blood samples were obtained from 110 patients. PMBCs were isolated using density gradient centrifugation. Drug extraction from PBMCs was performed with a 60:40 methanol-water (MeOH-H2O) solution containing deuterated IS (DRV-d9 and ETR-d8). The chromatographic separation was performed on a RP18 XBridge™ column. RESULTS The geometric mean (GM) of cell associated concentration ([DRV]CC) and plasmatic concentration ([DRV]plasma) were 360.5ng/mL (CI95%:294.5-441.2) and 1733ng/mL (CI95%:1486-2021), respectively. A geometric mean intracellular (IC)/plasma ratio (GMR) of 0.21 (CI95%:0.18-0.24) was calculated. Adjusted for dose/body surface area and post-intake time, a statistically significant correlation was observed between [DRV]Plasma and the eGFR (p=0.002) and between [DRV]Plasma and the concomitant use of ETR (p=0.038). For the 10 patients receiving ETR in addition to DRV, the GM of [ETR]Plasma (available for 8 out of 10 patients) and [ETR]CC were 492.3ng/mL and 2951ng/mL respectively. The GMR of ETR was 7.6 (CI95%: 3.61-13.83). CONCLUSIONS A handy and sensitive high performance LC-MS/MS method allowing the simultaneous quantification of DRV and ETR in PBMCs has been described and successfully applied in the largest cohort of DRV-treated patients reported to date. ETR accumulates more efficiently in PBMCs compared to DRV. We have also highlighted a possible impact of ETR on DRV plasma concentrations requiring further investigations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interindividual variability exists in statin lipid-lowering response, partially attributed to genetic factors. CYP3A4 intron 6 C>T polymorphism (CYP3A4*22 allele, rs35599367) has been recently identified and was associated with reduced CYP3A4 expression. We analyzed the association of CYP3A4*22 allele with response to atorvastatin and simvastatin. METHODS A total of 416 statin-treated (207 atorvastatin- and 209 simvastatin-treated) adults with primary hypercholesterolemia were included in the study. Total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were measured at baseline and on 6 months of treatment. CYP3A4*22 allele was analyzed with TaqMan assay. RESULTS In the entire cohort population, 41 individuals carried CYP3A4*22 allele (18 in atorvastatin and 23 in simvastatin treatment). CYP3A4*22 allele was not associated with lipid-lowering response to atorvastatin or simvastatin. No sex-gene or statin dose-gene interaction was observed in either statin-treated patient cohort. CONCLUSIONS The effect of CYP3A4*22 allele on lipid-lowering response to CYP3A metabolized statins, if present, can potentially be masked by relevant confounding or uncontrolled factors; therefore, further population-driven studies are required.

Abstract
Stem cells of the apical papilla (SCAP) represent great promise regarding treatment of neural tissue damage, such as spinal cord injury (SCI). They derive from the neural crest, express numerous neurogenic markers, and mediate neurite outgrowth and axonal targeting. The goal of the present work was to investigate for the first time their potential to promote motor recovery after SCI in a rat hemisection model when delivered in their original stem cell niche—that is, by transplantation of the human apical papilla tissue itself into the lesion. Control groups consisted of animals subjected to laminectomy only (shams) and to lesion either untreated or injected with a fibrin hydrogel with or without human SCAP. Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan locomotor scores at 1 and 3 d postsurgery confirmed early functional decline in all SCI groups. This significant impairment was reversed, as seen in CatWalk analyses, after transplantation of apical papilla into the injured spinal cord wound, whereas the other groups demonstrated persistent functional impairment. Moreover, tactile allodynia did not develop as an unwanted side effect in any of the groups, even though the SCAP hydrogel group showed higher expression of the microglial marker Iba-1, which has been frequently associated with allodynia. Notably, the apical papilla transplant group presented with reduced Iba-1 expression level. Masson trichrome and human mitochondria staining showed the preservation of the apical papilla integrity and the presence of numerous human cells, while human cells could no longer be detected in the SCAP hydrogel group at the 6-wk postsurgery time point. Altogether, our data suggest that the transplantation of a human apical papilla at the lesion site improves gait in spinally injured rats and reduces glial reactivity. It also underlines the potential interest for the application of delivering SCAP in their original niche, as compared with use of a fibrin hydrogel.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In children and adolescents with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) pharmacotherapy with statins is the cornerstone in the current regimen to reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc) and premature coronary heart disease risk. There is, however, a great interindividual variation in response to therapy, partially attributed to genetic factors. The polymorphic enzyme POR transfers electrons from NADPH to CYP450 enzymes including CYP3A, which metabolize atorvastatin. POR*28 polymorphism is associated with increased CYP3A enzyme activity. We analyzed the association of POR*28 allele with response to atorvastatin. MATERIALS & METHODS One hundred and five FH children and adolescents treated with atorvastatin at doses 10-40 mg were included in the study. Total cholesterol (TChol) and LDLc were measured at baseline and after 6 months of treatment. POR*28 allele was analyzed with TaqMan assay. CYP3A4*22, CYP3A5*3 and SLCO1B1 521T>C and 388A>G genotypes were also determined with TaqMan or PCR-RFLP methods. RESULTS POR*28 carriers had significantly lower percent mean reduction of TChol (33.1% in *1/*1, 29.8% in *1/*28 and 25.9% in *28/*28 individuals, p = 0.045) and of LDLc (43.9% in *1/*1, 40.9% in *1/*28 and 30.8% in *28/*28 individuals, p = 0.013). In multivariable linear regression adjusted for confounding factors, POR*28 genotypes, additionally to baseline cholesterol level, accounted for an estimated 8.3% and 7.3% of overall variability in % TChol and LDLc reduction (β: 4.05; 95% CI: 1.73-6.37; p = 0.001 and β: 5.08; 95% CI: 1.62-8.54; p = 0.004, respectively). CYP3A4*22, CYP3A5*3 and SLCO1B1 521T>C and 388A>G polymorphisms were not associated with lipid reductions and did not modify the effect of POR*28 on atorvastatin response. CONCLUSION In children with FH, carriage of POR*28 allele is associated with reduced effect of atorvastatin on TChol and LDLc and therefore identifies FH children that may require higher atorvastatin doses to achieve full therapeutic benefits. Additional studies in different populations are needed to replicate this association.

Abstract
AIM Assess association between UGT2B7 polymorphism -900G>A (rs7438135, also known as -842G>A) with morphine kinetics in preterm newborns undergoing mechanical ventilation. MATERIALS & METHODS Thirty-four infants were enrolled in a randomized clinical trial and allocated to rapid sequence intubation with remifentanil (1 µg/kg) or morphine (0.3 mg/kg). The latter group was included in our study. RESULTS Morphine plasma concentrations at 20 min post intubation were associated with postnatal age (p=0.017) and UGT2B7 -900G>A (p=0.036). UGT2B7 -900A allele carriers (n=13) had lower morphine levels compared with UGT2B7 -900G/G patients (n=2). Morphine-3-glucuronide and morphine-6-glucuronide plasma concentrations were only found to be associated with gestational and postnatal age. However, -900A allele carriers had a higher morphine-3-glucuronide:morphine metabolic ratio compared with patients genotyped as -900G/G (p=0.005), as determined by linear regression. CONCLUSION Our small pilot study illustrates that in addition to gestational and postnatal age, the UGT2B7 -900G>A polymorphism significantly alters morphine pharmacokinetics in preterm infants.

Abstract
AIM Determine whether SNPs of OPRM1 118A>G (asn(40)asp), COMT 472G>A (val(158)met) and ARRB2 8622C>T are associated with morphine rescue in newborns on mechanical ventilation. MATERIALS & METHODS This is a pharmacogenetic analysis of a randomized controlled trial in (pre)term newborns (n = 64) at a level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) who received placebo infusion and for whom need and dose for rescue morphine was documented. RESULTS For OPRM1 and COMT separately, the expected risk for rescue morphine or morphine dose was not significantly increased. However, the combined OPRM1/COMT 'high-risk' genotype lead to a significant association with the need for rescue (OR: 5.12; 95% CI: 1.12-23.3; p = 0.035). No association was found between OPRM1/COMT 'high-risk' genotype and total morphine dose administered. CONCLUSION Combined OPRM1 118A>G and COMT 472G>A genotype might serve as a predictor for the need of rescue morphine in premature and term newborns on mechanical ventilation.

Abstract
AIM To characterize the effect of donor and recipient CYP3A4, CYP3A5 and ABCB1 genotypes as well as relevant patient characteristics on tacrolimus pharmacokinetics in pediatric liver transplantation. PATIENTS & METHODS Data from 114 pediatric liver transplant recipients were retrospectively collected during the first 3 months following transplantation. Population pharmacokinetic analysis was performed using nonlinear mixed effects modeling, including characterization of influential covariates. RESULTS A two-compartment model with first order elimination best fitted the data. Estimates of apparent volume of the central compartment, intestinal clearance, hepatic clearance and intercompartmental clearance were 79 l, 0.01 l/h, 10.9 l/h and 105 l/h, respectively. Time post-transplantation, recipient age, donor CYP3A5 and CYP3A4 genotypes and fluconazole administration significantly influenced tacrolimus apparent clearance while bodyweight influenced volume of distribution. CONCLUSION The proposed model displayed acceptable fitting performances and enabled identification of statistically significant and clinically relevant covariates on tacrolimus pharmacokinetics in the early pediatric post liver transplantation period.

Abstract
Cyclosporine is used extensively in kidney transplantation and is a substrate for cytochrome P450 enzymes. The role of cytochrome p450 polymorphisms in kidney transplant outcome has not yet been fully elucidated. We investigate the clinical impact of single nucleotide polymorphisms in CYP3A4, CYP3A5, PPARα, and POR*28 in 255 kidney transplant recipients. We examine for any association with graft survival, time to first cancer, and delayed graft function, and also measure cyclosporine levels at days 3, 10, and months 1, 3, 6, and 12 after transplantation. The CYP3A4*22 allele is significant associated with the development of cancer post-kidney transplantation (HR 0.20, 95% CI 0.07-0.57, p = 0.003). It is not significantly associated with graft survival. No other SNP's were associated with graft survival time to first cancer, or delayed graft function. There was a non-significant trend of lower cyclosporine dose requirement in CYP3A4*22 carriers. Independent replication of our findings is now warranted to confirm or reject the role of CYP3A variants in cancer development following kidney transplantation.

Abstract
Pharmacogenetics has generated many expectations for its potential to individualize therapy proactively and improve medical care. However, despite the huge amount of reported genetic associations with either pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of drugs, the translation into patient care is still slow. In fact, strong evidence for a substantial clinical benefit of pharmacogenetic testing is still limited, with a few exceptions. In kidney transplantation, established pharmacogenetic discoveries are being investigated for application in the clinic to improve efficacy and to limit toxicity associated with the use of immunosuppressive drugs, especially the frequently used calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) tacrolimus and ciclosporin. The purpose of the present review is to picture the current status of CNI pharmacogenetics and to discuss the most promising leads that have been followed so far.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE ATP-binding cassette, subfamily B, member 1 (ABCB1) transporter, or P-glycoprotein, is an efflux protein implicated in the absorption and the distribution of various compounds, including tacrolimus and cyclosporine A. In vivo studies suggest an association between the ABCB1 1199G>A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and tacrolimus intracellular accumulation. The aim of the present experimental study was to clarify in vitro the impact of the coding ABCB1 1199G>A SNP on ABCB1 transport activity towards both immunosuppressive drugs. METHOD Two recombinant cell lines, i.e. Human Embryonic Kidney (HEK293) and Human Myelogenous Leukemia (K562) cells, overexpressing ABCB1 carrying either the wild-type allele (1199G) or its mutated counterpart (1199A), were generated. The impact of the 1199G>A SNP on ABCB1 activity towards rhodamine (Rh123), doxorubicin, vinblastine, tacrolimus and cyclosporine A was assessed by accumulation, cytotoxicity and/or kinetic experiments. RESULTS Tacrolimus accumulation was strongly decreased in cells overexpressing the wild-type protein (1199G) compared to control cells, confirming the ability of ABCB1 to transport tacrolimus. By contrast, overexpression of the variant protein (1199A) had nearly no effect on tacrolimus intracellular accumulation whatever the model used and the concentration tested. Unlike tacrolimus, our results also indicate that cyclosporine A, Rh123 and doxorubicin are transported in a similar extent by the wild-type and variant ABCB1 proteins while the variant protein seems to be more efficient for the transport of vinblastine. CONCLUSION ABCB1 encoded by the 1199G wild-type allele transports more efficiently tacrolimus in comparison to the 1199A variant protein. This observation indicates that the amino-acid substitution (Ser400Asn) encoded by the 1199A allele drastically decreases the ability of ABCB1 to drive the efflux of tacrolimus in a substrate-specific manner, in agreement with our previously published clinical data. Our study emphasizes the importance of the ABCB1 1199G>A polymorphism for ABCB1 activity and its potential to explain differences in drug response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tacrolimus metabolism depends on CYP3A4 and CYP3A5. We aimed to determine the relationship between the CYP3A4*22 polymorphism and combined CYP3A genotypes with tacrolimus disposition in pediatric heart transplant recipients. METHODS Sixty pediatric heart transplant recipients were included. Tacrolimus doses and trough concentrations were collected in the first 14 days post-transplantation. CYP3A phenotypes were defined as extensive (CYP3A5*1 + CYP3A4*1/*1 carriers), intermediate (CYP3A5*3/*3 + CYP3A4*1/*1 carriers) or poor (CYP3A5*3/*3 + CYP3A4*22 carriers) metabolizers. RESULTS CYP3A4*22 carriers needed 30% less tacrolimus (p = 0.016) to reach similar target concentrations compared with CYP3A4*1/*1 (n = 56) carriers. Poor CYP3A metabolizers required 17% (p = 0.023) less tacrolimus than intermediate and 48% less (p < 0.0001) than extensive metabolizers. Poor metabolizers showed 18% higher dose-adjusted concentrations than intermediate (p = 0.35) and 193% higher than extensive metabolizers (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Analysis of CYP3A4*22, either alone or in combination with CYP3A5*3, may help towards individualization of tacrolimus therapy in pediatric heart transplant patients.

Abstract
It is previously shown that carriers of the defective allele CYP2C9*3 that leads to impaired sulfonylurea metabolism are at increased sulfonylurea-induced hypoglycemia risk due to diminished drug metabolism, whereas no effect of CYP2C9*2 allele was found. Recently, a polymorphism in P450 oxidoreductase (POR) gene, assigned as POR*28 allele, was associated with increased CYP2C9 activity. The aim of this study was to assess i) the effect of POR*28 allele on sulfonylurea-induced hypoglycemia risk and ii) the association of CYP2C9*2 allele with hypoglycemia risk in non-carriers of POR*28 allele. The study group consisted of 176 patients with diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated with sulfonylureas, of whom 92 patients had experienced at least one drug-associated hypoglycemic event (cases), while 84 had never experienced a hypoglycemic event (controls). POR*28 allele was detected by use of real-time TaqMan PCR. POR*28 allele was not associated with sulfonyl-urea-induced hypoglycemia. In POR*1/*1 patients, CYP2C9*1/*2 genotype was more common in cases than in controls (32.7 vs. 14.3%, p=0.041). In a model adjusted for age, BMI, duration of T2DM and renal function, and POR*1/*1 entered as a selection variable, CYP2C9*2 allele increased the hypoglycemia risk in response to sulfonylurea (odds ratio: 3.218, p=0.031). In conclusion, our results suggest that POR*28 allele is masking the association of CYP2C9*2 allele with sulfonyl-urea-induced hypoglycemia. Therefore, POR*28 allele is an important source of CYP2C9 activity variability and combined with CYP2C9 gene poly-morphisms may explain individual variability in the effect of sulfonylureas.

Abstract
Many studies have attempted to explain the interindividual variability observed in drug metabolism by assessing the impact of SNPs in genes implicated in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion pathways. Particular attention has been paid to the CYP450s. CYP3A4 is the main CYP isoform in human liver and intestine and is involved in the metabolism of many drugs. Its activity, however, is characterized by widespread variation in the general population, which is thought to have a genetic basis. A new CYP3A4 allele (CYP3A4*22; rs35599367 C>T in intron 6) with a frequency of 5-7% in the Caucasian population was recently discovered through its association with low hepatic CYP3A4 expression and CYP3A4 activity, and showing effects on statin, tacrolimus and cyclosporine metabolism. This review will summarize the current literature on phenotypes linked to this new promising CYP3A4 genetic marker SNP and discusses the potential clinical relevance.

Abstract
PURPOSE Paclitaxel is used in the treatment of solid tumors and displays high interindividual variation in exposure. Low paclitaxel clearance could lead to increased toxicity during treatment. We present a genetic prediction model identifying patients with low paclitaxel clearance, based on the drug-metabolizing enzyme and transporter (DMET)-platform, capable of detecting 1,936 genetic variants in 225 metabolizing enzyme and drug transporter genes. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN In 270 paclitaxel-treated patients, unbound plasma concentrations were determined and pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated from a previously developed population pharmacokinetic model (NONMEM). Patients were divided into a training- and validation set. Genetic variants determined by the DMET platform were selected from the training set to be included in the prediction model when they were associated with low paclitaxel clearance (1 SD below mean clearance) and subsequently tested in the validation set. RESULTS A genetic prediction model including 14 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) was developed on the training set. In the validation set, this model yielded a sensitivity of 95%, identifying most patients with low paclitaxel clearance correctly. The positive predictive value of the model was only 22%. The model remained associated with low clearance after multivariate analysis, correcting for age, gender, and hemoglobin levels at baseline (P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS In this first large-sized application of the DMET-platform for paclitaxel, we identified a 14 SNP model with high sensitivity to identify patients with low paclitaxel clearance. However, due to the low positive predictive value we conclude that genetic variability encoded in the DMET-chip alone does not sufficiently explain paclitaxel clearance.

Abstract
AIM The CYP3A4*22 allele was recently reported to be associated with reduced CYP3A4 activity. We investigated the impact of this allele on the metabolism of the CYP3A-phenotyping probes, midazolam (MDZ) and erythromycin. PATIENTS & METHODS Genomic DNA from 108 cancer patients receiving intravenous MDZ and 45 undergoing the erythromycin breath test was analyzed for CYP3A4*22 (rs35599367 C>T) and CYP3A5*3. RESULTS The MDZ metabolic ratio (1´-OH-MDZ:MDZ) was 20.7% (95% CI: -36.2 to -6.2) lower for CYP3A4*22 carriers compared with CYP3A4*1/*1 patients (p = 0.01). Combining CYP3A4*22 and CYP3A5*3 genotypes showed a 38.7% decrease (95% CI: -50.0 to -27.4; p < 0.001) in 1´-OH-MDZ:MDZ for poor (CYP3A4*22-CYP3A5*3/*3) and 28.0% (95% CI: -33.3 to -22.6; p < 0.001) for intermediate (CYP3A4*1/*1-CYP3A5*3/*3) metabolizers, compared with extensive (CYP3A4*1/*1-CYP3A5*1) CYP3A metabolizers. CYP3A4 erythromycin N-demethylation activity was 40% lower in CYP3A4*22 carriers compared with CYP3A4*1/*1 patients (p = 0.032). CONCLUSION The CYP3A4*22 allele is associated with decreased CYP3A4-mediated metabolism, as verified by CYP3A-phenotyping probes.

Abstract
2597 Background: Paclitaxel (PTX) is a commonly used cytotoxic agent. It is metabolized by P450 cytochrome iso-enzymes CYP3A4 and CYP2C8 and has high interindividual variability in pharmacokinetics (PK) and toxicity. Here, we present a genetic prediction model to identify patients with low PTX clearance (CL) using the new Drug-Metabolizing Enzyme and Transporter (DMET; Affymetrix) platform, capable of detecting 1,936 genetic variants (SNPs) in 225 genes. Methods: In a PK study, 270 Caucasian cancer patients were treated with PTX. PK parameters were determined using a limited sampling strategy. HPLC or LC-MS/MS were used to determine PTX plasma concentrations and non-linear mixed effects modelling (NONMEM) was used to estimate individual unbound CL from previously developed PK population models. Subsequently, the cohort of patients was randomly split into a training and validation set. In all patients, the presence of SNPs in metabolic enzymes and transporters was determined using the DMET platform. Selected SNPs were subsequently validated in the validation set. Results: Baseline characteristics were comparable in both sets. The mean CL of the total cohort was 488 ± 149 L/h and the threshold for low CL was set at 339 L/h (1 SD < total mean CL). 14 SNPs were selected to be included in the prediction model and validated in the validation set. For none of these 14 SNPs, evidence for a biological plausible link to taxane metabolism exists. The developed prediction model had a sensitivity of 95% to identify low PTX CL, a positive predictive value of 22% and remained significantly associated with low CL after multivariate analysis correcting for age, gender and Hb levels at start of therapy (P=0.024). Conclusions: This is the first considerably-sized application of the DMET platform to explain PK variability of a widely used anti-cancer drug. Although this validated prediction model for PTX CL had a high sensitivity, its positive predictive value is too low to be of direct clinical use. Likely, genetic variability in DMET genes alone does not sufficiently explain PTX CL, as for example environmental factors may also influence PTX metabolism.
