Abstract

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Vibegron is a selective &bgr;3-adrenergic receptor agonist in development for overactive bladder (OAB). Approximately 43% of patients on any OAB medication are taking a drug metabolized through the CYP2D6 pathway. In vitro data (human liver microsomal incubations and hepatocyte cultures) demonstrate that vibegron at concentrations up to 100 &mgr;M does not inhibit human cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4. Two clinical studies were conducted to evaluate the pharmacokinetic, safety, and tolerability effects of vibegron on the CYP2D6 substrates tolterodine and metoprolol in healthy volunteers. METHODS: Two phase-1, single-center, open-label studies enrolled healthy volunteers to receive multiple-dose tolterodine extended release (ER) 4 mg with and/or without multiple doses of vibegron 100 mg (n=12), or single-dose metoprolol succinate 100 mg with and without multiple-dose vibegron 75 mg (n=24). Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated to evaluate tolterodine or metoprolol alone and in combination with steady-state vibegron. Safety and tolerability were assessed throughout the study. RESULTS: Coadministration of vibegron did not alter the geometric mean maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and the area under the curve (AUC) of tolterodine (geometric mean ratio [90% confidence intervals], 1.12 [1.00, 1.26] and 1.08 [0.97, 1.21]), respectively. The elimination half-life of tolterodine was similar…
