    Lenvatinib (LEN), a multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor used in various cancer treatments, is mainly metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) enzymes. The importance of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in patients administered LEN has been proposed. Although some biomarkers of endogenous CYP3A activity have been reported, their utility in dosage adjustments has not been well evaluated. This study investigated the correlation between plasma LEN concentrations and endogenous urinary CYP3A biomarkers in clinical practice. Concentrations of plasma LEN (N = 225) and CYP3A biomarkers (cortisol, 6β-hydroxycortisol, deoxycholic acid, and 1β-hydroxydeoxycholic acid) in urine (N = 214) from 20 patients (hepatocellular carcinoma, N = 6; thyroid cancer, N = 3; endometrial cancer, N = 8; and renal cell carcinoma, N = 3) collected for consultation for up to 1 year were evaluated using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Moreover, plasma trough LEN concentrations were predicted using a three-compartment model with linear elimination for outpatients administered LEN before sample collection. Moderate correlations were observed between the quantified actual concentrations and the predicted trough concentrations of LEN, whereas there was no correlation with endogenous urinary CYP3A biomarkers. The utility of endogenous urinary CYP3A biomarkers could not be determined. However, TDM for outpatients administered orally available medicines may be predicted using a nonlinear mixed effect model (NONMEM). This study investigated the utility of endogenous urinary CYP3A biomarkers for personalized medicine and NONMEM for predicting plasma trough drug concentrations. These findings will provide important information for further clinical investigation and detailed TDM.

    BACKGROUND: Naldemedine is an orally available peripherally acting μ-opioid receptor antagonist approved to treat opioid-induced constipation (OIC). It is contraindicated for patients with known or suspected gastrointestinal obstruction to protect against naldemedine-induced perforation. Here, we report a clinical case of suspected perforation of a diverticulum in the sigmoid colon associated with naldemedine. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient was a 65-year-old man with a history of oral cancer who had been prescribed oxycodone (20 mg/day) for cancer pain. On day 0, the patient started naldemedine 0.2 mg once daily before bedtime for OIC. The dose of oxycodone was increased for pain control up to 60 mg/day. On day 35 of naldemedine treatment, the patient developed fever and abdominal pain, and his frequency of defecation had decreased. Initial laboratory results showed a C-reactive protein (CRP) level of 28.5 mg/dL and white blood cell (WBC) count of 13,500/µL. On day 37, the patient still had tenderness in his lower abdomen. Abdominal computed tomography revealed free air in the abdominal cavity suggesting an intestinal perforation. A Hartmann procedure was performed. Histopathological findings showed numerous diverticula in the sigmoid colon, some of which were perforated. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that the effects of OIC may have compressed the intestinal tract, which was followed by naldemedine-activation of peristalsis, which led to the onset of intestinal perforation. In patients with pre-existing diverticular disease, we should monitor for increased WBC counts and CRP levels after the initiation of treatment with naldemedine, and consider performing appropriate tests early in the event of abdominal complaints.

    The increased risk of adverse drug reactions due to the concomitant use of antipsychotics is problematic in the treatment of schizophrenia. Therefore, the simultaneous analysis of their plasma concentrations is required. In this study, we developed a simultaneous liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for analyzing plasma antipsychotics approved in Japan for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) applications. First, we counted the prescriptions for 16 antipsychotics and concomitant drugs used at the Tohoku University Hospital. LC-MS/MS was used for the simultaneous analysis of 16 antipsychotics and four drug metabolites. This analysis was conducted using a combination of selected reaction monitoring mode and reversed-phase chromatography. Following the examination of the MS/MS and LC conditions, an analytical method validation test was conducted. The developed method was used to analyze plasma antipsychotic levels in patients with schizophrenia. One-third of the patients received treatment with multiple antipsychotics. Under LC-MS/MS conditions, LC separation was performed using a combination of a C18 column and ammonium formate-based mobile phases with a gradient flow. The calibration curves were optimized by adjusting the ion abundance, and 11 compounds met the criteria for intra- and inter-day reproducibility tests. Some stability test results did not meet these criteria; therefore, further investigation is required. The developed method permitted the measurement of all the plasma parameters, including concentrations above the therapeutic range. Therefore, this method may be useful in the daily TDM practice of antipsychotics.

    BACKGROUND: The modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) and Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) are indicators of nutritional status in cancer patients; however, the effects of baseline mGPS and PNI on the duration of administration of the ghrelin receptor agonist anamorelin, which is used to treat cachexia in patients with cancer, are unclear. This study aimed to clarify the association of mGPS and PNI with the duration of oral anamorelin administration for patients who did not have beneficial effects from anamorelin. METHODS: The attending physician determined the duration of oral anamorelin administration based on discontinuation due to cancer progression, poor efficacy, adverse events, or death. RESULTS: The 12-week continuation rate of oral anamorelin was 30.4%. Univariate analysis revealed that an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG-PS) of ≥2 (P < .001), concurrent chemotherapy (P = .002), albumin level (P = .005), C-reactive protein level (P = .013), and a mGPS of 2 (P = .014) were statistically significant predictors of the 12-week continuation rate of oral anamorelin. In the multivariate analysis, a mGPS of 2 remained a significant risk factor, and the ECOG-PS and concurrent chemotherapy had no effect on the association between the mGPS and 12-week continuation rate of oral anamorelin. CONCLUSION: Patients with a mGPS of 2, compared with mGPS of 0 or 1, are less likely to maintain oral anamorelin therapy, regardless of the ECOG-PS or concurrent chemotherapy. Therefore, it is necessary to consider initiating anamorelin administration at mGPS 0 or 1.

  • Case report of QT interval prolongation induced by anamorelin in an obese patient with non-small cell lung cancer.

    Research paper (journal)  

    BACKGROUND: Anamorelin, a drug to treat cancer cachexia, binds to ghrelin receptors and improves body weight and appetite. In clinical trials in Japan, patients experienced a 10.7% frequency of stimulant conduction system depression as a severe side effect. Although rare, anamorelin sometimes causes fatal arrhythmias. Because patients with cancer cachexia are often underweight, data on the safety of anamorelin in obese patients are lacking. We report a case of QT interval prolongation after anamorelin administration to an obese patient with non-small cell lung cancer. CASE PRESENTATION: A female patient with a body mass index of 30 kg/m2 underwent immunotherapy for lung adenocarcinoma. She presented with severe weight loss, anorexia, and fatigue. She had no history of heart disease. On day 12, after administration of anamorelin 100 mg once daily, the patient developed nausea, diarrhea, and anorexia, which were considered cancer immunotherapy-induced immune-related adverse events, and she was admitted to the hospital. An electrocardiogram (ECG) on admission showed a QTc interval of 502 ms. On admission, her hepatic function was Child-Pugh class B, and anamorelin was discontinued the next day. On day 3 after anamorelin discontinuation, the QTc interval was prolonged by up to 557 ms, then decreased to 490 ms on day 6, and improved to 450 ms on day 16. Re-administration of anamorelin was avoided. CONCLUSIONS: When administering anamorelin to obese patients, we should be aware of the potential for stimulatory conduction system depression, as in underweight patients. Therefore, we should monitor patients by ECG from the early stages of anamorelin administration. Anamorelin is lipophilic, and its volume of distribution is increased in obese patients. Consequently, obese patients may continue to have QT interval prolongation after discontinuation of anamorelin, requiring long-term side-effect monitoring.
