Clinical assessment of gepotidacin (GSK2140944) as a victim and perpetrator of drug-drug interactions via CYP3A metabolism and transporters.

ABSTRACT: Gepotidacin is a novel triazaacenaphthylene antibiotic in phase III development. Based on nonclinical in vitro characterization of gepotidacin metabolism, two phase I studies were conducted in healthy participants to investigate clinical drug-drug interactions (DDIs). We assessed gepotidacin as a DDI victim with a potent cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4/P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitor (itraconazole), potent CYP3A4 inducer (rifampicin), and nonspecific organic cation transporter (OCT)/multidrug and toxic extrusion transporter (MATE) renal transport inhibitor (cimetidine) via single doses of gepotidacin before and after co-administration with multiple doses of the modulator drugs. Gepotidacin DDI perpetrator potential for P-gp inhibition (digoxin) and CYP3A4 inhibition (midazolam) was evaluated via
