Assessing Drug-Drug Interaction and Food Effect for BCS Class 2 Compound BI 730357 (Retinoic Acid-Related Orphan Receptor Gamma Antagonist, Bevurogant) Using a Physiology-Based Pharmacokinetics Modeling (PBPK) Approach with Semi-Mechanistic Absorption.

ABSTRACT: Background: The drug candidate BI 730357 is a Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) Class II compound showing atypical absorption after oral administration in fasted and fed healthy individuals, for which conventional traditional deconvolution methods could not explain formulation dependencies. Methods: A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of BI 730357 was developed using the Open Systems Pharmacology (OSP) PBPK software tool PK-Sim^®, which could describe the pharmacokinetics in fasted and fed subjects after single and multiple doses. A Weibull function was used to describe the in vivo formulation kinetics, whereas colonic absorption was adopted as the main driver to describe the late phases of observed pharmacokinetics after oral administrat
