Abstract
Abrocitinib is a selective Janus kinase 1 inhibitor approved for the treatment of atopic dermatitis. It is metabolized primarily by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 (approximately 53%) and CYP2C9 (approximately 30%), which form 2 active metabolites. The pharmacologic activity of abrocitinib is attributable to the unbound exposures of abrocitinib and those metabolites with active moiety area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) considered the best measure of the total pharmacological effect. The effect of CYP2C19 and/or CYP2C9 genotypes on abrocitinib and active moiety exposures were evaluated using a meta-analysis of the noncompartmental estimates of exposure pooled from 10 clinical studies. A linear mixed-effects model was developed on the basis of the power model to evaluate the effect of CYP2C19 and/or CYP2C9 genotypes on exposure (i.e., abrocitinib AUC and peak plasma concentration, active moiety AUC and peak plasma concentration). The genotypes were evaluated individually and as a combined phenotype effect. When evaluating the poor metabolizers of CYP2C19 or CYP2C9 individually, the estimated increases were 44.9% and 42.0% in active moiety AUC, respectively. The combined phenotype models showed a 0.6% decrease, and 25.1% and 10.5% increases in the active moiety AUC for "elevated," "mixed," and "reduced" metabolizers, respectively. Overall, the active moiety exposures did not appear to be affected to a clinically meaningful extent by different genotypes of CYP2C19 and/or CYP2C9.
