Abstract

PURPOSE: To evaluate the influence of three proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) on plasma voriconazole (VOR) concentrations and characterize potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs) between VOR and three PPIs (omeprazole, lansoprazole, and pantoprazole) in Chinese patients with malignant hematological diseases.

METHODS: A simple and reliable 2D-HPLC with internal quality control method was used to ensure accurate concentration measurements. A total of 194 patients in this retrospective study were divided into control (N = 59), omeprazole (OME, N = 57), lansoprazole (LAN, N = 26), and pantoprazole (PAN, N = 52) groups for comparison of plasma VOR trough concentrations. To further validate our retrospective analysis of clinical data, we used molecular docking simulation to analyze the binding affinity of PPIs to the cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) and cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) enzymes that are integral to the metabolism of PPIs and VOR.

RESULTS: Our findings indicated that VOR trough concentrations were significantly higher in patient on PPIs compared with those who were not (P = 0.012). Patients on LAN (P < 0.01) or OME (P < 0.05) had significantly elevated VOR concentrations compared with the control group, whereas those on PAN did not. Although VOR trough concentrations were not significantly elevated with PAN, more patients in the PAN group reached therapeutic VOR concentrations than in any other group.

CONCLUSION: In conclusion, our retrospective data analysis and molecular…

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a cohort study, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 194 participants or records.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
