Assessing pharmacokinetic differences in Caucasian and East Asian (Japanese, Chinese and Korean) populations driven by CYP2C19 polymorphism using physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modelling
Abstract
Understanding the influence of ethnicity on drug exposure is key to patient safety and could minimize repetitive clinical studies. This analysis aimed to evaluate the ability of physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modelling to predict exposure of CYP2C19 substrates (lansoprazole, (es)citalopram, voriconazole) across Caucasian and East Asian populations. CYP2C19 abundance levels in Japanese and Chinese populations have been re-assessed based on clinical evidence. Model performance in each population was evaluated by predicted-over-observed AUC ratios and comparison of observed data with simulated plasma concentration profiles. Exposures in 84.4% (76 out of 90) of the clinical studies were predicted within 1.5-fold of observed values. The reported concentration-time profiles were well-captured within the 90% prediction intervals. With specified CYP2C19 phenotype, PBPK modelling is capable to predict systemic exposure of drugs largely metabolized by CYP2C19 in different ethnic populations. This study demonstrated PBPK modelling can be applied to assess genotype-dependent exposure difference across ethnicities.
