Concomitant administration of glucocorticoid receptor modulator relacorilant and paclitaxel, a dual substrate of CYP2C8 and CYP3A4

Many drugs useful in treating cancer are metabolized by CYP2C8 enzymes, by CYP3A4 enzymes, or both. The effects of concomitant administration of relacorilant and paclitaxel, a drug used to treat cancer that is a substrate for both CYP2C8 and CYP3A4, are disclosed herein.Relacorilant potently inhibited CYP2C8 and CYP3A4 in in vitro tests, indicating that co-administration of relacorilant and paclitaxel would increase paclitaxel plasma exposure more than 5-fold in vivo, requiring significant reductions in paclitaxel doses when co-administering paclitaxel with relacorilant.Surprisingly, paclitaxel plasma exposure increased only by about 80% instead of the expected more than 5-fold increase expected with concomitant relacorilant and paclitaxel administration. Applicant discloses safe methods of co-administering relacorilant and paclitaxel by reducing the dose of paclitaxel to about half the paclitaxel dose used when paclitaxel is administered alone. Relacorilant and such reduced doses of paclitaxel may be co-administered to treat cancer, e.g., ovarian or pancreatic cancer.

Concomitant administration of glucocorticoid receptor modulator relacorilant and CYP2C9 substrates

Relacorilant is useful in the treatment of hypercortisolism and cancer. Many drugs useful in treating hypercortisolism or cancer are metabolized by CYP2C9 enzymes. The effects of concomitant administration of relacorilant and a CYP2C9 substrate are disclosed herein.Relacorilant potently inhibited CYP2C9 in an in vitro test, indicating that co-administration of relacorilant and a CYP2C9 substrate would be expected to increase the CYP2C9 substrate plasma exposure more than five-fold in vivo. Significant reductions in CYP2C9 substrate doses would be expected to be required when administered with relacorilant.Surprisingly, no such increase in plasma exposure was seen in human studies. Applicant discloses that relacorilant may be safely co-administered with unmodified doses of a CYP2C9 substrate such as, e.g., tolbutamide, glimepiride, and glipizide. Relacorilant and unmodified doses of CYP2C9 substrate such as tolbutamide, glimepiride, and glipizide may be co-administered to treat hypercortisolism, or may be co-administered to a cancer patient.

Formulations and methods related to eye irritation

The disclosure relates to formulations and methods for the in vitro testing of ocular irritants. It was discovered that adding an antioxidant formulation to in vitro ocular irritation tests, including for example, a biochemical ocular irritation test, a reconstituted human corneal epithelium (RhCE) ocular irritation test and an excised eye depth of injury (Dol) test, substantially reduces the rate of false positives without diminishing test sensitivity, resulting in more accurately predicting ocular irritancy of test substances. More particularly, the disclosed method employs relatively high physiologic concentrations of one or more antioxidants that are normally present in tears. In a variation, much higher concentrations of one or more antioxidants may provide protection against in vivo exposure to ocular irritants.

A precise comparison method for consistency of animal and non-animal toxicity evaluation results

PendingCN122314166ABaseline dataAlgorithm
This invention relates to the field of computational toxicology, and in particular to a precise method for comparing the consistency of animal and non-animal toxicity evaluation results. This method acquires in vivo baseline data from animals and in vitro test data from non-animals. It employs a dynamic time warping algorithm and radial basis function kernel function to construct correction coefficients and perform equivalent mapping to generate a converted sequence. Based on a binary classification mapping of toxicity thresholds, a confusion matrix is ​​constructed to calculate sensitivity, specificity, and predicted values. Each indicator is treated as an independent source of evidence, and the Mahalanobis distance is calculated using the covariance matrix to generate a basic probability allocation function. The D-S evidence theory combination rule is applied for fusion, and a secondary factor allocation is introduced when there is conflict. Finally, the result is compared with a preset threshold to determine the feasibility of substitution. This invention adaptively eliminates the nonlinear misalignment difference between in vivo and in vitro dose responses, providing an objective quantitative judgment standard for toxicological substitution verification.
