Pharmacology/ Pharmacokinetics:
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
1. Mechanism of Action -
Mitapivat is a pyruvate kinase activator that acts by allosterically binding to the pyruvate kinase tetramer and increasing pyruvate kinase (PK) activity. The red blood cell (RBC) form of pyruvate kinase (PK-R) is mutated in PK deficiency, which leads to reduced adenosine triphosphate (ATP), shortened RBC lifespan, and chronic hemolysis
2. Pharmacodynamics - Mitapivat decreases 2,3 diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) and increases ATP in healthy volunteers.
Cardiac Electrophysiology- At a dose 6 times the maximum recommended dose, mitapivat did not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent.
3. Pharmacokinetics- Mitapivat exposure increased in an approximately dose proportional manner over the clinically relevant dose range of 5 mg to 50 mg twice daily. The population pharmacokinetic model simulated Cmax, Ctrough, AUC0-12 and accumulation ratio of mitapivat at recommended dosages are listed in the table below.
Absorptio- Median tmax values at steady state were 0.5 to 1.0 hour post-dose across the dose range of 5 mg to 50 mg twice daily. The absolute bioavailability after a single dose was approximately 73%
Effect of Food- Following administration of a single dose of PYRUKYND in healthy subjects, a high-fat meal (approximately 900 to 1,000 total calories, with 500 to 600 calories from fat, 250 calories from carbohydrate, and 150 calories from protein) did not change the exposure (AUCinf) of mitapivat, but reduced the rate of mitapivat absorption, with a 42% reduction in Cmax and a delay in tmax of 2.3 hours when compared to dosing under fasted conditions.
Distribution- Mitapivat is highly protein bound (97.7%) in plasma with low RBC distribution (RBC-to-plasma ratio of 0.37). The mean volume of distribution at steady state (Vss) was 42.5 L
Elimination- The mean effective half-life (t1/2) of mitapivat ranged from 3 to 5 hours following multiple dose administrations of 5 mg twice daily to 20 mg twice daily in patients with PK deficiency. Population pharmacokinetics derived median CL/F at steady state was 11.5, 12.7, and 14.4 L/h for the 5 mg twice daily, 20 mg twice daily, and 50 mg twice daily regimens, respectively.
Metabolism- In vitro studies showed that mitapivat is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4. Following a single oral dose of 120 mg of radiolabeled mitapivat to healthy subjects, unchanged mitapivat was the major circulating component. Reference ID: 4939726
Excretion- After a single oral administration of radiolabeled mitapivat to healthy subjects, the total recovery of administered radioactive dose was 89.2%, with 49.6% in the urine (2.6% unchanged) and 39.6% in the feces (<1% unchanged).
Specific Populations- No clinically meaningful effects on the pharmacokinetics of mitapivat were observed based on age, sex, race, or body weight.
Pediatric Population- The pharmacokinetics of mitapivat in children and adolescents (?18 years old) have not been studied. Hepatic Impairment Mitapivat undergoes extensive hepatic metabolism.
Moderate and severe hepatic impairment is expected to increase the systemic exposure of mitapivat. The pharmacokinetics of mitapivat in patients with hepatic impairment have not been studied. Renal Impairment
The effects of renal impairment on mitapivat pharmacokinetics were assessed with population pharmacokinetic analyses. Steady state AUC of mitapivat in patients with eGFR 60 to <90 mL/min/1.73 m2 was not significantly different compared to patients with eGFR =90 mL/min/1.73 m2 .
There are limited data available in patients with eGFR 30 to <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and no data available in patients with eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m2
Drug Interaction Studies - Clinical Studies and Model-Based Approaches Effect of Strong CYP3A Inhibitors on PYRUKYND Itraconazole (a strong CYP3A inhibitor) increased mitapivat AUCinf and Cmax by 4.9-fold and 1.7-fold, respectively, following a single PYRUKYND dose of 20 mg. Itraconazole increased mitapivat AUC0-12 and Cmax by 3.6-fold and 2.2-fold, respectively, following PYRUKYND 50 mg twice daily.
Ketoconazole (a strong CYP3A inhibitor) increased mitapivat AUC0-12 and Cmax by approximately 3.9-fold and 2.4-fold, respectively, following PYRUKYND doses of 5, 20 or 50 mg twice daily.
Effect of Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors on PYRUKYND Fluconazole (a moderate CYP3A inhibitor) increased mitapivat AUC0-12 and Cmax by approximately 2.6-fold and 1.6-fold, respectively, following PYRUKYND doses of 5, 20 or 50 mg twice daily.
Effect of Strong CYP3A Inducers on PYRUKYND Rifampin (a strong CYP3A inducer) decreased mitapivat AUCinf and Cmax by 91% and 77%, respectively, following a single PYRUKYND dose of 50 mg.
Rifampin decreased mitapivat AUC0-12 and Cmax by approximately 95% and 85%, respectively, following PYRUKYND doses of 5, 20 or 50 mg twice daily.
Effect of Moderate CYP3A Inducers on PYRUKYND- Efavirenz (a moderate CYP3A4 inducer) decreased mitapivat AUC0-12 and Cmax by approximately 60% and 30%, respectively, following PYRUKYND doses of 5 or 20 mg twice daily.
Efavirenz decreased mitapivat AUC0-12 and Cmax by 55% and 24%, respectively, following PYRUKYND doses of 50 mg twice daily. Effect of PYRUKYND on CYP3A substrates Midazolam (a CYP3A substrate) AUCinf and Cmax decreased by 21% and 19%, respectively, following co-administration of midazolam with PYRUKYND 5 mg twice daily.
Midazolam AUCinf and Cmax decreased by 43% and 39%, respectively, following co-administration with PYRUKYND 20 mg twice daily, and 57% and 52%, respectively, with PYRUKYND 50 mg twice daily.
Effect of PYRUKYND on P-gp Substrates Co-administration of PYRUKYND with drugs that are substrates of P-gp may result in a clinically relevant increase in plasma concentrations of these substrates. In vitro Studies CYP450 and UGT
Enzymes Mitapivat induces CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and UGT1A1. Drug Transporter Systems Mitapivat is a substrate and an inhibitor of P-gp.
Pregnancy and lactation:
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
1. Pregnancy Risk Summary-
Available data from clinical trials of PYRUKYND are insufficient to evaluate for a drugassociated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes.
The estimated background risk of major birth defects for the indicated population is unknown.
Estimated frequencies for other important background risks in the population are as follows: miscarriage 18%, growth retardation 24%, preterm birth 56%. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes.
In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively
Clinical Considerations- Disease-Associated Maternal Risk Untreated PK deficiency in pregnant women may precipitate acute hemolysis, pre-term labor, miscarriage and severe anemia requiring frequent transfusion
2 Lactation Risk Summary- There are no data on the presence of PYRUKYND or its .metabolites in human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production.
The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for PYRUKYND and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from PYRUKYND or from the underlying maternal condition
3.Pediatric Use- Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.
4.Geriatric Use- Clinical studies of PYRUKYND did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 years and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects.
5.Hepatic Impairment- Mitapivat undergoes extensive hepatic metabolism. Moderate and severe hepatic impairment is expected to increase the systemic exposure of mitapivat.
Avoid use of PYRUKYND in patients with moderate and severe hepatic impairment
