Popis: Clopidogrel is a prodrug that needs to be converted to its active metabolite (clopi-H4) in two sequential cytochrome P450 (P450)-dependent steps. In the present study, a dynamic physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was developed in Simcyp for clopidogrel and clopi-H4 using a specific sequential metabolite module in four populations with phenotypically different CYP2C19 activity (poor, intermediate, extensive, and ultrarapid metabolizers) receiving a loading dose of 300 mg followed by a maintenance dose of 75 mg. This model was validated using several approaches. First, a comparison of predicted-to-observed area under the curve (AUC)0-24 obtained from a randomized crossover study conducted in four balanced CYP2C19-phenotype metabolizer groups was performed using a visual predictive check method. Second, the interindividual and intertrial variability (on the basis of AUC0-24 comparisons) between the predicted trials and the observed trial of individuals, for each phenotypic group, were compared. Finally, a further validation, on the basis of drug-drug-interaction prediction, was performed by comparing observed values of clopidogrel and clopi-H4 with or without dronedarone (moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor) coadministration using a previously developed and validated physiologically based PBPK dronedarone model. The PBPK model was well validated for both clopidogrel and its active metabolite clopi-H4, in each CYP2C19-phenotypic group, whatever the treatment period (300-mg loading dose and 75-mg last maintenance dose). This is the first study proposing a full dynamic PBPK model able to accurately predict simultaneously the pharmacokinetics of the parent drug and of its primary and secondary metabolites in populations with genetically different activity for a metabolizing enzyme.
