Develop a population pharmacokinetics model of tacrolimus in organ transplant recipients receiving twice-daily, immediate-release (IR-T; Prograf) and/or once-daily, prolonged-release (PR-T; Advagraf or Astagraf XL) tacrolimus.
Tacrolimus concentration-time profiles were analysed from 8 Phase II studies in adult and paediatric liver, kidney and heart transplant patients receiving IR-T and/or PR-T. A tacrolimus population pharmacokinetic model, including identification of significant covariates, was developed using NONMEM.
Overall, 23,176 tacrolimus concentration records were obtained from 408 patients. A 2-compartment model with first-order absorption and elimination described the concentration-time profiles. Tacrolimus absorption rate was 50% slower with PR-T vs IR-T. Tacrolimus apparent oral clearance was 44.3 L/h in Whites and 59% higher in Asians. Tacrolimus central volume of distribution was 108 L in males and 55% lower in females; trough concentrations were similar between formulations. Tacrolimus relative bioavailability was similar between formulations (geometric mean ratio PR-T:IR-T 95%, 90% confidence intervals: 89%, 101%). Asians had 83% and 51% higher relative bioavailability than Whites and Blacks, respectively, for IR-T and PR-T. Whites had 49% and 77% higher relative bioavailability than Blacks for PR-T and IR-T, respectively. Blacks had 52% lower relative bioavailability than Whites and Asians for IR-T and PR-T. Type of organ transplanted and patient population (adult/paediatric) did not have a significant effect on tacrolimus pharmacokinetics.
This population pharmacokinetic model described data from transplant recipients who received IR-T and/or PR-T. Tacrolimus trough concentrations and relative bioavailability were similar between formulations, supporting 1 mg:1 mg conversion from Prograf to Advagraf/Astagraf XL in clinical practice.
建立一种群体药代动力学模型,用于研究接受每日两次普通释放(IR-T;普乐可复)和/或每日一次延长释放(PR-T;Advagraf 或 Astagraf XL)他克莫司的器官移植受者的他克莫司药代动力学。
对接受 IR-T 和/或 PR-T 的成人和儿科肝、肾和心脏移植患者的 8 项 II 期研究中的他克莫司浓度-时间曲线进行分析。采用 NONMEM 建立包括确定重要协变量的他克莫司群体药代动力学模型。
共有 408 名患者的 23176 个他克莫司浓度记录。采用 2 室模型和一级吸收和消除描述浓度-时间曲线。与 IR-T 相比,PR-T 的他克莫司吸收速率慢 50%。白人的他克莫司表观口服清除率为 44.3 L/h,亚洲人的清除率高 59%。男性的他克莫司中央分布容积为 108 L,女性低 55%;两种制剂的谷浓度相似。两种制剂的他克莫司相对生物利用度相似(PR-T:IR-T 的几何均数比值 95%,90%置信区间:89%,101%)。与白人相比,亚洲人的 IR-T 和 PR-T 相对生物利用度分别高 83%和 51%,而与黑人相比,亚洲人的 IR-T 和 PR-T 相对生物利用度分别高 51%和 83%。与黑人相比,白人的 PR-T 和 IR-T 相对生物利用度分别高 49%和 77%。移植的器官类型和患者人群(成人/儿科)对他克莫司的药代动力学没有显著影响。
该群体药代动力学模型描述了接受 IR-T 和/或 PR-T 的移植受者的数据。两种制剂的他克莫司谷浓度和相对生物利用度相似,支持在临床实践中将普乐可复转换为 Advagraf/Astagraf XL 时采用 1 mg:1 mg 的转换。
