“…In vivo, multiple daily doses of apalutamide decreased the AUC of midazolam (a CYP3A substrate), omeprazole (a CYP2C19 substrate), warfarin (a CYP2C9 substrate), pioglitazone (a CYP2C8 substrate), fexofenadine (a P-gp substrate), rosuvastatin (a BCRP and OATP1B1 substrate) by 92%, 85%, 46%, 18%, 30%, and 41%, respectively. 13,14 Although multiple DDI studies were conducted, the applicant conducted PBPK analyses to simulate untested DDI scenarios, such as the effects of a CYP2C8 inhibitor (gemfibrozil), a CYP3A inhibitor (such as ketoconazole), and an inducer (such as rifampin) on the PK of apalutamide and M3 at steady state. In addition, it was important to estimate the total potency ad-justed exposure change in DDI scenarios since the exposure changes of apalutamide and the active major metabolite (M3) were in the opposite directions when apalutamide was coadministered with gemfibrozil.…”
