Effects of CYP3A4 inhibition/induction and OATP inhibition on the pharmacokinetics of atogepant in healthy adults.

Aim: Atogepant, a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist, is a substrate of OATP and metabolized by CYP3A4. Effect of multiple-dose itraconazole (strong CYP3A4 inhibitor), single-dose rifampin (strong OATP inhibitor) and multiple-dose rifampin (strong CYP3A4 inducer) on single-dose pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of atogepant were assessed. Methods: Two phase I, open-label, single-center, crossover trials enrolled healthy adults. Results: Cmax and AUC of atogepant increased when co-administered with itraconazole. Atogepant systemic exposure increased following co-administration with single-dose rifampin. Atogepant systemic exposure decreased with co-administration of multiple-dose rifampin. Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were predominantly mild or moderate, and included constipation, dizziness, headache and nauseas. Conclusion: Systemic exposure of atogepant increased significantly when co-administered with a strong CYP3A4 or OATP inhibitor and decreased significantly when co-administered with a strong CYP3A4 inducer.
