Early Prediction and Impact Assessment of CYP3A4-Related Drug-Drug Interactions for Small-Molecule Anticancer Drugs Using Human-CYP3A4-Transgenic Mouse Models [Articles]

Early detection of drug-drug interactions (DDIs) can facilitate timely drug development decisions, prevent unnecessary restrictions on patient enrollment, resulting in clinical study populations that are not representative of the indicated study population, and allow for appropriate dose adjustments to ensure safety in clinical trials. All of these factors contribute to a streamlined drug approval process and enhanced patient safety. Here we describe a new approach for early prediction of the magnitude of change in exposure for cytochrome P450 (P450) CYP3A4-related DDIs of small-molecule anticancer drugs based on the model-based extrapolation of human-CYP3A4-transgenic mice pharmacokinetics to humans. Victim drugs brigatinib and lorlatinib were evaluated with the new approach in combination with the perpetrator drugs itraconazole and rifampicin. Predictions of the magnitude of change in exposure deviated at most 0.99- to 1.31-fold from clinical trial results for inhibition with itraconazole, whereas exposure predictions for the induction with rifampicin were less accurate, with deviations of 0.22- to 0.48-fold. Results for the early prediction of DDIs and their clinical impact appear promising for CYP3A4 inhibition, but validation with more victim and perpetrator drugs is essential to evaluate the performance of the new method.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT

The described method offers an alternative for the early detection and assessment of potential clinical impact of CYP3A4-related drug-drug interactions. The model was able to adequately describe the inhibition of CYP3A4 metabolism and the subsequent magnitude of change in exposure. However, it was unable to accurately predict the magnitude of change in exposure of victim drugs in combination with an inducer.

Maturity Assessment of the Health Information System Using Stages of Continuous Improvement Methodology: Results From Serbia

ABSTRACTIntroduction:Since the health information system (HIS) in public health care services in Serbia was introduced in 2009, it has gradually expanded. However, it is unclear how well the HIS components have developed and the whole system’s stage of maturity.Method:In June–September 2021, a maturity assessment of the Serbian HIS was conducted for the first time using the HIS Stages of Continuous Improvement (SOCI) toolkit. The toolkit measures HIS status across 5 HIS domains: leadership and governance, management and workforce, information and communication technology (ICT), standards and interoperability, and data quality and use. The domains were further divided into 13 components and 39 subcomponents whose maturity stage was assessed on a 5-point Likert scale, indicating the level of development: (1) emerging/ad hoc; (2) repeatable; (3) defined; (4) managed; and (5) optimized. The toolkit was applied in a working group of 32 professionals and experts who were engaged in developing the new national eHealth strategy and action plan.Results:The overall maturity score of the Serbian HIS was 1.6, which indicates a low level. The highest baseline score (2) was given to the standards and interoperability domain, and the lowest (1.1) was given to ICT infrastructure. The remaining 3 domains (leadership and governance, Management and Workforce, and Data Quality and Use) were similarly rated (1.7, 1.7, and 1.6, respectively).Conclusion:A baseline assessment of the maturity level of Serbian HIS indicates that the majority of components are between the emerging/ad hoc stage and repeatable, which represent isolated, ad hoc efforts, with some basic processes in place and existing and accessible policies. This exercise provided an opportunity to address identified weaknesses in the upcoming national eHealth strategy.

Preoperative Assessment of Meningioma Consistency Using a Combination of MR Elastography and DTI [RESEARCH]

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:

Preoperative assessment of meningioma consistency is beneficial for optimizing surgical strategy and prognosis of patients. We aim to develop a noninvasive prediction model for meningioma consistency utilizing MR elastography and DTI.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Ninety-four patients (52 ± 22 years old, 69 women, 25 men) diagnosed with meningioma were recruited in the study. Each patient underwent preoperative T1WI, T2WI, DTI, and MR elastography. Combined MR elastography–DTI model was developed based on multiple logistic regression. Intraoperative tumor descriptions served as clinical criteria for evaluating meningioma consistency. The diagnostic efficacy in determining meningioma consistency was evaluated by using a receiver operating characteristic curve. Further validation was conducted in 27 stereotactic biopsies by using indentation tests and underlying mechanism was investigated by histologic analysis.

RESULTS:

Among all the imaging modalities, MR elastography demonstrated the highest efficacy with the shear modulus magnitude (|G*|) achieving an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.81 (95% CI: 0.699–0.929). When combined with DTI, the diagnostic accuracy further increased (AUC: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.784–0.971), surpassing any technique alone. Indentation measurement based on stereotactic biopsies further demonstrated that the MR elastography–DTI model was suitable for predicting intratumor consistency. Histologic analysis suggested that meningioma consistency may be correlated with tumor cell density and fibrous content.

CONCLUSIONS:

The MR elastography–DTI combined model is effective in noninvasive prediction of meningioma consistency.
