The unmet medical need of providing evidence-based pharmacotherapy for pregnant women is recognized by the regulatory bodies. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling offers an attractive platform to quantify anticipated changes in the pharmacokinetics (PKs) of drugs during pregnancy. Recent publications applying a pregnancy PBPK module to the prediction of maternal and fetal exposure of drugs are summarized. Future opportunities to use PBPK models to predict breast milk exposure and assess human fetotoxicity risks are presented.
监管机构认识到,为孕妇提供基于证据的药物治疗的需求尚未得到满足。基于生理学的药代动力学(PBPK)模型为量化药物在怀孕期间药代动力学(PKs)预期变化提供了一个有吸引力的平台。总结了最近应用妊娠 PBPK 模型预测药物在母体和胎儿暴露的出版物。提出了未来使用 PBPK 模型预测母乳暴露和评估人类胎儿毒性风险的机会。
