ABSTRACT: Background and objective
Delamanid is a nitroimidazole, a novel class of drug for treating tuberculosis, and is primarily metabolized by albumin into the metabolite DM-6705. The aims of this analysis were to develop a population pharmacokinetic (PK) model to characterize the concentration-time course of delamanid and DM-6705 in adults with drug-resistant tuberculosis and to explore a potential drug-drug interaction with bedaquiline when coadministered.Methods
Delamanid and DM-6705 concentrations after oral administration, from 52 participants (of whom 26 took bedaquiline concurrently and 20 were HIV-1 positive) enrolled in the DELIBERATE trial were analyzed using nonlinear mixed-effects modeling.Results
Delamanid PK were described by a one-compartment disposition model with transit compartment absorption (mean absorption time of 1.45 h [95% confidence interval 0.501-2.20]) and linear elimination, while the PK of DM-6705 metabolite were described by a one-compartment disposition model with delamanid clearance as input and linear elimination. Predicted terminal half-life values for delamanid and DM-6705 were 15.1 h and 7.8 days, respectively. The impact of plasma albumin concentrations on delamanid metabolism was not significant. Bedaquiline coadministration did not affect delamanid PK. Other than allometric scaling with body weight, no patients' demographics were significant (including HIV).Conclusions
This is the first joint PK model of delamanid and its DM-6705 metabolite. As such, it can be utilized in future exposure-response or exposure-safety analyses. Importantly, albumin concentrations, bedaquiline coadministration, and HIV co-infection (dolutegravir coadministration) did not have an effect on delamanid and DM-6705 PK.
