PMRs/PMCs for drugs approved by the FDA in 2014, 2015, and 2016 – Additional information now available in DIDB

As the DIDB content continues to expand, we are pleased to announce that post-marketing requirements and post-marketing commitments (PMRs and PMCs) for drugs approved by the FDA in 2014, 2015, and 2016 have now been entered in the DIDB. The DDI, hepatic impairment, and renal impairment results can be found under the drug’s original NDA or BLA numbers. Updated label recommendations are also presented in the drug DDI Summary.

Having access to this additional information is key to fully understand the DDI profile of NMEs, and the DIDB Editorial Team is now working on PMR/PMC data for drugs approved in 2017 and 2018.

As always, feel free to contact us at DIDBase@certara.com if you have any questions or comments.

DDI Marker Studies Knowledgebase – quarterly update

The DDI Marker Studies Knowledgebase (replacing the previous combined and individual lists of CYP/P-gp substrates and perpetrators) has been updated in October 2023, and is available in the DIDB Resource Center.

In this update, 35 compounds were identified as substates, inhibitors, and inducers of CYP enzymes and transporters (P-gp, BCRP, and OATP1B1/3). Among them, 2 compounds were sensitive substrates and 3 compounds were strong inhibitors which could lead to strong drug interactions mediated by CYP2D6 and CYP3A.

In addition to substrates, inhibitors and inducers of CYPs and transporters, the Knowledgebase provides useful information on the compounds therapeutic class, clinical recommended dosage, pharmacokinetics (e.g., dose proportionality accumulation ratio, time to steady-state), QT prolongation, and NTI characteristics.

As always, feel free to contact us if you have any questions or comments.

Understanding the role of CYP3A in the metabolism of kinase inhibitors marketed in the past decade to better manage the risk of clinical drug-drug interactions.

2023 ISSX Poster Presentation – CYP3A-Kinase inhibitors

Abstract

Kinase inhibitors (KIs) are among the most represented therapeutic areas for novel drugs approved in recent years. In the present analysis, drug metabolism data for all KIs approved in the US since 2011 were reviewed. Mechanistic clinical drug interaction studies with CYP3A perpetrators were fully analyzed using Certara’s Drug Interaction Database (DIDB®). The mechanism(s) and clinical relevance of these interactions were characterized based on information available in the new drug application reviews.

Risk of pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions with novel drugs approved by the US FDA in 2022: a detailed review of DDI data from NDA documentation.

2023 ISSX Poster Presentation – 2022 NDA Reviews

Abstract

Understanding the ADME processes involved in pharmacokinetic-based drug-drug interactions (DDIs) is critical to facilitate an optimal management of DDIs in the clinic. In the present work, drug metabolism and transport in vitro and in vivo data for small molecular drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2022 (N=22) were analyzed using the Certara Drug Interaction Database. The mechanism(s) and clinical relevance of these interactions were characterized based on information available in the new drug application (NDA) reviews.
