Abstract:
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Preclinical cardiovascular safety studies (CVS) have been compared between facilities with respect to their sensitivity to detect drug-induced QTc prolongation (ΔQTc). Little is known about the consistency of quantitative ΔQTc predictions that are relevant for translation to humans. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH:We derived typical ΔQTc predictions at therapeutic exposure (ΔQTcTHER ) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) for 3 Kv 11.1 (hERG) channel blockers (moxifloxacin, dofetilide and sotalol) from a total of 14 CVS with variable designs in the conscious dog. Population pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PKPD) analysis of each study was followed by a meta-analysis (pooling 2-6 studies including 10-32 dogs per compound) to derive meta-predictions of typical ΔQTcTHER . Meta-predictions were used as a reference to evaluate the consistency of study predictions and to relate results to those found in the clinical literature. KEY RESULTS:The 95%CIs of study-predicted ΔQTcTHER comprised in 13 out of 14 cases the meta-prediction. Overall inter-study variability (mean deviation from meta-prediction at upper level of therapeutic exposure) was 30% (range: 1-69%). Meta-ΔQTcTHER predictions for moxifloxacin, dofetilide and sotalol overlapped with reported clinical QTc prolongation when expressed as %-prolongation from baseline. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS:Consistent exposure-ΔQTc predictions were obtained from single preclinical dog studies of highly variable designs by systematic PKPD analysis, which is suitable for translational purposes. The good preclinical-clinical pharmacodynamic correlations obtained suggest that such an analysis should be more routinely applied to increase the informative and predictive value of results obtained from animal experiments.
