    Abstract Atomoxetine (ATX) is a non-stimulant used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and systemic exposure is highly variable due to polymorphic cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) activity. The objective of this study was to characterize the time course of ATX and metabolites (4-hydroxyatomoxetine (4-OH); N-desmethylatomoxetine (NDA); and 2-carboxymethylatomoxetine (2-COOH)) exposure following oral ATX dosing in children with ADHD to support individualized dosing. A nonlinear mixed-effect modeling approach was used to analyze ATX, 4-OH, and NDA plasma and urine, and 2-COOH urine profiles obtained over 24-72 hours from children with ADHD (n = 23) following a single oral ATX dose. Demographics and CYP2D6 activity score (AS) were evaluated as covariates. Simulations were performed to explore the ATX dosing in subjects with various CYP2D6 AS. A simultaneous pharmacokinetic modeling approach was used in which a model for ATX, 4-OH, and NDA in plasma and urine, and 2-COOH in urine was developed. Plasma ATX, 4-OH, and NDA were modeled using two-compartment models with first-order elimination. CYP2D6 AS was a significant determinant of ATX apparent oral clearance (CL/F), fraction metabolized to 4-OH, and systemic exposure of NDA. CL/F of ATX varied almost 7-fold across the CYP2D6 AS groups: AS 2: 20.02 L/hour; AS 1: 19.00 L/hour; AS 0.5: 7.47 L/hour; and AS 0: 3.10 L/hour. The developed model closely captures observed ATX, 4-OH, and NDA plasma and urine, and 2-COOH urine profiles. Application of the model shows the potential for AS-based dosing recommendations for improved individualized dosing.

    Abstract Background: Busulfan is commonly used in the chemotherapy prior to hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Busulfan has a narrow therapeutic window and a well-established exposure-response relationship with important clinical outcomes. Model-informed precision dosing (MIPD) based on population pharmacokinetic (popPK) models has been implemented in the clinical settings. We aimed to systematically review existing literature on popPK models of intravenous busulfan.
    Methods: We systematically searched Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science databases from inception to December 2022 to identify original popPK models (nonlinear mixed-effect modeling) of intravenous busulfan in HCT population. Model-predicted busulfan clearance (CL) was compared using US population data.
    Results: Of the 44 eligible popPK studies published since 2002, 68% were developed predominantly in children, 20% in adults, and 11% in both children and adults. The majority of the models were described using first-order elimination or time-varying CL (69% and 26%, respectively). All but three included a body-size descriptor (e.g., body weight, body surface area). Other commonly included covariates were age (30%) and GSTA1 variant (15%). Median between-subject and between-occasion variabilities of CL were 20% and 11%, respectively. Between-model variabilities in predicted median CL were < 20% in all of the weight tiers (10-110 kg) in the simulation based on US population data.
    Conclusion: Busulfan PK is commonly described using a first-order elimination or time-varying CL. A simple model with limited covariates were generally sufficient to attain relatively small unexplained variabilities. However, therapeutic drug monitoring may still be necessary to attain a narrow target exposure.

    Abstract Nano-engineered mesenchymal stem cells (nano-MSCs) are promising targeted drug delivery platforms for treating solid tumors. MSCs engineered with paclitaxel (PTX) loaded poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) are efficacious in treating lung and ovarian tumors in mouse models. The quantitative description of pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of nano-MSCs is crucial for optimizing their therapeutic efficacy and clinical translatability. However, successful translation of nano-MSCs is challenging due to their complex composition and physiological mechanisms regulating their pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationship (PK-PD). Therefore, in this study, a mechanism-based preclinical PK-PD model was developed to characterize the PK-PD relationship of nano-MSCs in orthotopic A549 human lung tumors in SCID Beige mice. The developed model leveraged literature information on diffusivity and permeability of PTX and PLGA NPs, PTX release from PLGA NPs, exocytosis of NPs from MSCs as well as PK and PD profiles of nano-MSCs from previous in vitro and in vivo studies. The developed PK-PD model closely captured the reported tumor growth in animals receiving no treatment, PTX solution, PTX-PLGA NPs and nano-MSCs. Model simulations suggest that increasing the dosage of nano-MSCs and/or reducing the rate of PTX-PLGA NPs exocytosis from MSCs could result in improved anti-tumor efficacy in preclinical settings.

    Abstract Phosphoramide mustard (PM) is the final cytotoxic metabolite formed from the parent compound cyclophosphamide through a complex metabolic pathway, primarily through hepatic metabolism. Little is known about the effect of renal elimination on the disposition of PM. We evaluated the effect of renal function on PM exposure after single doses of cyclophosphamide in 85 patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation using nonlinear mixed-effects modeling. Mixed linear and nonlinear elimination pathways were required to adequately describe the disposition of PM. Creatinine clearance (CrCL) was incorporated as a covariate associated with first-order elimination, representing renal clearance (Cl

    Abstract Background: Lysosomal diseases are a group of over 70 rare genetic conditions in which a protein deficiency (most often an enzyme deficiency) leads to multi-system disease. Current therapies for lysosomal diseases are limited in their ability to treat certain tissues that are major contributors to morbidity and mortality, such as the central nervous system (CNS) and cardiac valves. For this study, the lysosomal disease mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) was selected as the disease model. In MPS I, mutations in the
    Methods: MPS I mice were hydrodynamically injected through the tail vein with plasmids containing either a codon-optimized cDNA encoding the wild-type IDUA protein or one of four modified IDUAs under the control of the liver-specific human α1-antitrypsin (hAAT) promoter. Two modified IDUAs contained a ligand for the CB1 receptor, which is a highly expressed receptor in the CNS. Iduronidase activity levels were measured in the tissues and plasma using an enzyme activity assay.
    Results: The modified IDUAs did not appear to have improved activity levels in the brain compared with the unmodified IDUA. However, one modified IDUA exhibited higher activity levels than the unmodified IDUA in the heart (
    Conclusion: The addition of a six amino acid peptide improved iduronidase's activity levels in the heart and plasma. The short length of this LT peptide facilitates its use as fusion enzymes encoded as gene therapy or administered as enzyme replacement therapy. More broadly, the LT peptide may aid in developing therapies for numerous lysosomal diseases.
