GS-9674 versus Atorvastatin
^
Study Design
To evaluate GS-9674 as a perpetrator of DDIs, healthy subjects (N = 18–24 per cohort) were administered a single dose of midazolam (MDZ 2 mg; CYP3A4 probe), dabigatran etexilate (DE 75 mg; P-gp probe), pravastatin (PRA 40 mg; OATP probe), rosuvastatin (ROS 10 mg; BCRP/OATP probe), or atorvastatin (ATV 10 mg; CYP3A/OATP probe), alone or in combination with GS-9674 (100 mg). To evaluate GS-9674 as an object of DDIs, subjects (N = 18–24 per cohort) were administered a single dose of GS-9674 100 mg alone or in combination with inhibitors or inducers: single doses of rifampin (SD RIF 600 mg; OATP inhibitor) or cyclosporine A (CsA 600 mg; OATP/MRP2/P-gp inhibitor) or multiple doses of voriconazole (VORI 200 mg BID for 4 days; CYP3A inhibitor), gemfibrozil (GFZ 600 mg BID for 4 days; CYP2C8 inhibitor), or after RIF (MD RIF 600 mg QD for 7 days; CYP/OATP/P-gp inducer). Safety was assessed by routine clinical and laboratory monitoring throughout the study. Geometric mean ratios (GMRs) and 90% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated for AUCinf and Cmax
Study Results
In this study, 108 subjects were dosed. GS-9674 was well tolerated: no Grade 3 AEs, SAEs or AEs leading to treatment discontinuation were observed. There was no effect of GS-9674 on MDZ, DE, PRA, or ROS PK. GS-9674 slightly increased ATV AUCinf (39%). GFZ moderately increased GS-9674 AUCinf (75%) while VORI had no effect on AUCinf. Both SD RIF and CsA significantly increased GS-9674 exposure and MD RIF significantly decreased GS-9674 exposure.
Study Conclusions
All study treatments were generally well tolerated. GS- 9674 is not a clinically relevant inhibitor of OATP, BCRP, P-gp or CYP3A. The slight increase in ATV exposure does not warrant ATV dose adjustment. Hepatic OATP plays a significant role in GS-9674 PK with CYP2C8, and potentially P-gp, contributing to a lesser extent and minimal contribution from CYP3A. Based on these data, coadministration of GS-9674 with potent OATP inhibitors or potent or moderate inducers of OATP/CYP2C8/P-gp is not recommended. GS-9674 may be administered with CYP3A or CYP2C8 inhibitors without dose modification.
