Exploring the impact of ethnicity on drug pharmacokinetics using PBPK models: A case study with lansoprazole in Japanese subjects
Abstract
AIMS: The aim of this study is to demonstrate the use of PBPK modelling to explore the impact of ethnic differences on drug PK.
METHODS: A PBPK model developed for lansoprazole was used to predict the clinical PK of lansoprazole in Japanese subjects by incorporating the physiological parameters of a Japanese population into the model. Further verification of the developed Japanese population with clinical studies involving eight other CYP substrates-omeprazole, ticlopidine, alprazolam, midazolam, nifedipine, cinacalcet, paroxetine and dextromethorphan-was also carried out.
RESULTS: The PK of lansoprazole in both Caucasian and Japanese subjects was well predicted by the model as the observed data were within the 5th and 95th percentiles across all the clinical studies. In age- and sex-matched simulations in both the Caucasian and Japanese populations, the predicted PK (mean ± SD) of a single oral dose of 30-mg lansoprazole was higher in the Japanese population in all cases, with more than twofold higher AUC of 5.98 ± 6.43 mg/L.h (95% CI: 4.72, 7.24) vs. 2.46 ± 2.45 mg/L.h (95% CI: 1.98, 2.94) in one scenario. In addition, in two out of the nine clinical DDIs of lansoprazole and the additional CYP substrates simulated using the Japanese population, the predicted DDI in Japanese was more than 1.25-fold that in Caucasians, indicating an increased DDI liability.
CONCLUSIONS: By accounting for various physiological parameters that characterize a population in a PBPK model, the…
