Population pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modeling of TF-505 using extension of indirect response model by incorporating a circadian rhythm in healthy volunteers.

The pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) relationship of the newly developed drug, (-)-(S)-4-[1-[4-[1-(4-isobutylphenyl)butoxy]benzoyl]indolizin-3-yl]butyric acid (TF-505), was characterized via a population approach in early human study. Healthy volunteers were divided into six groups. The groups received four single doses (25, 50, 75 or 100 mg) and 2 multiple doses (12.5 or 25 mg) of TF-505, respectively. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) data were collected to assess TF-505 pharmacodynamics. Population PK/PD modeling of TF-505 was performed via mixed-effects modeling using the NONMEM software package. The final PK-PD model incorporates a two-compartment PK model and an extended indirect PD model. The population PK parameters were 0.197 h(-1) for the k(a), 0.0678 h(-1) for k(e), 12.5 l for V(c), 0.0645 h(-1) for k(12), 0.0723 h(-1) for k(21). Extension of indirect response model by incorporating a time-dependent periodic function for k(in) takes into account the chronopharmacologic rhythms (I(max): 0.706+/-0.297, IC(50): 1.01+/-1.64 (microg/ml), k(out): 0.221+/-0.0486 (h(-1)), R(m): 20.4+/-8.08 (% h(-1)), R(amp): 5.06+/-3.43 (% h(-1)), T(z): 5.01+/-0.407 (h) (Population mean+/-S.E.)). R(m) is the mean DHT synthesis rate, R(amp) is the amplitude of the DHT synthesis rate, and T(z) is the acrophase time, signifying maximum synthesis rate. The present study represents a successful population PK-PD model using the full data from early human studies. The population parameters thus obtained could provide useful indicators for the determination of dosage regimens in exploratory studies in patient populations.
