Prospective dose prediction for FXa inhibitor otamixaban (OTAM) using PK/PD simulations accounting for non‐dose proportional plasma exposure
2005
Background/Aims
OTAM is a direct and selective FXa inhibitor under development for treatment of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). This work describes PK/PD modeling and simulations to predict doses for dose-ranging Phase II study with target Ceoi of 75 to 600 ng/mL (MTD).
Methods
Plasma concentrations-time data from 3 Phase I/II studies were fitted simultaneously to a two-compartment model using WINNONLIN. The change in plasma clearance and volume of distribution with dose was accounted by introducing a linear equation for the change in volume of distribution as a function of the infusion rate. Furthermore, because a linear relationship exists between PK and PD clotting time markers (aPTT, PT, and RVVT), PK concentrations were sufficient to predict PD.
Results
Simulated mean concentrations were well separated for each dose. The combined 1 min/3 h infusions allowed target Ceoi to be reached immediately, with a “dip” not exceeding 20% of Ceoi.
Conclusions
Predictable PK/PD model allowed for optimal dose selection for the Phase II study.
