CETUXIMAX: 

Cetuximab Therapeutic Drug Monitoring in Squamous Cell Carcinoma Head and Neck Cancer Patients: Determination of the Predictive Value Exposure Levels Through a Single Arm Multicentric Study (CETUXIMAX)

P.I.: S. Salas (COMPO)

COMPO members involved: J. Ciccolini, M. Hamimed, C. Marin

Partners:  Merck (Sponsor), APHM (promoter), CHU Timone,  + 15 investigating centers

Clinical need:
Anti-EGFR cetuximab is a pivotal biotherapy for treating head and neck cancer patients. However, only 50% of response rate have been reported. Determining a trough level associated with target engagement and clinical efficacy would pave the way for PK-guided dosing.

Objectives:

To study the PK/PD relationships of cetuximab in head and neck cancer patients. 

Data
PK data will be generated upon blood sampling (Cmin, cmax) in a longitidinal fashion accrossthe different courses.  Clinical data (efficacy, toxicity per CTCAE grading) will be similarly collected in a longitudinal fashion.

Methodology,

1. Cetuximax is a  multicentric study registered as NCT04218136.

2. Cetuximab  will be assayed for plasma concentrations by a fully validated LC-MS/MS method.

3. Individual PK parameters will be estimated using a Bayesian procedure and pop-PK matrix using a compartmental approach. Parameters identification (Kel, Vd, Cl, T1/2) and estimation of exposure metrics  (AUC) will be performed on Monolix.

4. PK/PD relationships will be investigated on Monolix software.

BUSEQ: 

PK-guided dosing of High dose Busulfan as part of conditioning regimen in adult leukemia patients scheduled for bone marrox transplant.

P.I.: S. Furst (IPC)

COMPO members involved: J. Ciccolini, M. Hamimed

Partners:  Institutional: Inserm,  AMU, APHM, IPC, CHU Nice.

Clinical need:
High dose Busulfan (HD-Bu) is the backbone of conditioning regimen in patients scheduled for bone-marrow transplant. HD-Bu leads to up to 30% of toxic death. To what extent PK-guided dosing a sequential regimen to reach a target exposure of AUC = 16000 uM.min-1 could improve the risk-benefit ratio of HD-Bu is yet to be elucidated.

Objectives:

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of sequential administration of high-dose Busulfan as part of conditioning regimen in leukemia patients scheduled for bone marrow transplant.

Data
PK data will be generated upon blood sampling in a longitidinal fashion (i.e., D-7, D-5, D-4).  Clinical data (efficacy, toxicity per CTCAE grading) will be collected from start of the conditioning regimen up to 5-years after the transplant.

Methodology,

1. Buseq is a phase 2, multicentric study registered as 2020-003392-17.

2. Busulfan will be assayed for plasma concentrations by a fully validated LC-MS/MS method.

3. Individual PK parameters will be estimated using a Bayesian procedure and a home-made pop-PK matrix using a compartmental approach. Parameters identification (Kel, Vd, Cl, T1/2) and estimation of exposure metrics  (AUC) will be performed on the Kinetic-Pro software.

4. PK/PD relationships will be investigated on Monolix software.

CYTA-PGx: 

Pharmacokinetics & pharmacogenetics of cytarabine in adult AML patients: impact of the cytidine deaminase genetic polymorphism. 

P.I.: R. Fanciullino (COMPO)

COMPO members involved: J. Ciccolini, M. Hamimed, M. Donnette

Partners:  APHM Marseille, Centre Antoine Lacassagne Nice

Clinical need:
Cytarabine is a mainstay for treating AML patients as part of the canonical 7+3 protocol. Still, life-threatening toxicities and erratic efficacy are reported. To what extent unpredictable clinical outcome with cytarabine could come from inter-patient variability is yet to be found. To what extent changes in Cytidine Deaminase status, the liver enzyme responsible for the detoxification of cytarabine, could be the culprit for poor clinical outcome, is yet to be found as well.

To evaluate the impact of CDA phenotype (i.e., PM, EM, UM) and genotype and the dCK genotype on the PK parameters and exposure levels of cytarabine in adult patients treated for AML as part of 7+3 protocol.

1. CYTA-PGx is a multicentric study registered as 2017-00070-53.

2. Cytarabine and its metabolite  will be assayed for plasma concentrations by a fully validated LC-MS/MS method.

3. CDA status will be established using a double: phenotyping + genotyping (sequencing) approach. DCk status will be evaluated by sequencing.

4. Individual PK parameters will be estimated using a compartmental approach. Parameters identification (Kel, Vd, Cl, T1/2) and estimation of exposure metrics  (AUC) will be performed on the Monolix software.

5. PK/PD relationships will be investigated on Monolix software and statistical analyse on R.

TORNADO: TOols for Rational NAnoDrugs Optimization: development of a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model for nanomedicines

P.I.: F. Gattatteca (COMPO)

COMPO members involved: J. Ou (PhD student), M. Mahdjoub (M2 intern), A. Rodallec

Partners:  CERIMED Marseille (P. Garrigue), MINT Angers (S. Legeay, E. Roger)

Clinical need: Pharmacokinetics of nanomedicines is poorly understood, which impairs their efficient development and clinical translation

Objectives: To develop a generic physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model to describe, understand and predict the PK and biodistribution of various types of nanomedicines

Methodology: Available in vivo data of PK and biodistribution of various types of nanomedicines will be integrated to develop a PBPK model dedicated to nanomedicines, encompassing the main mechanisms of PK of nanomedicines (endocytosis, clearance by mononuclear phagocyte system, enhanced permeability and retention). The corresponding parameters will be measured in vitro. In silico models will be developed to predict them based on the characteristics of the nanovector (type, composition, size, charge, shape).

Funding: AMU doctoral grant


PKID: Population pharmacokinetic approach centered on the patient: a patient pharmacokinetic ID from one drug to predict the PK of the next one

P.I.: F. Gattacceca (COMPO)

COMPO members involved: A. Deschamps (PhD student)

Partners:  APHM Marseille (R. Guilhaumou)

Clinical need

When starting a treatment with a new drug, PK data collected for another drug are of no use to predict the PK of the new drug.

Objectives

To use PK data from 2 drugs sequentially administered to the same patients (drug switches) to develop a combined population PK model allowing the prediction of the PK of the second drug from the parameters estimated for the first one.

Data
PK data from intensive care units patients experiencing drug switches have been collected.

Methodology

1. Proof of concept with drugs of the same class (beta-lactams)

2. Application to drugs of different classes (vancomycin and methotrexate)
