Abstract

Clinical development of new drugs may require dedicated drug-drug interaction (DDI) studies, such as to evaluate the effect of cytochrome P450 3A induction on the pharmacokinetics of investigational drugs. However, as a result of N-nitrosamine impurity findings in marketed rifampin formulations, the application of rifampin in DDI studies has been halted. This mini-review considers the root cause and impact of the nitrosamine impurity as well as alternative options for the continued conduct of DDIs.
