Background: ORIN1001, a first-in-class oral IRE1-α endoribonuclease inhibitor to block the activation of XBP1, is currently in clinical development for inhibiting tumor growth and enhancing the effect of chemical or targeted therapy. Early establishment of a population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) model could characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of ORIN1001 and evaluate the effects of individual-specific factors on PK, which will facilitate the future development of this investigational drug.Methods: Non-linear mixed effect model was constructed by Phoenix NLME software, utilizing the information from Chinese patients with advanced solid tumors in a phase I clinical trial (Register No. NCT05154201). Statistically significant PK covariates were screened out by a stepwise process. The final model, after validating by the goodness-of-fit plots, non-parametric bootstrap, visual predictive check and test of normalized prediction distribution errors, was further applied to simulate and evaluate the impact of covariates on ORIN1001 exposure at steady state up to 900 mg per day as a single agent.Results: A two-compartment model with first-order absorption (with lag-time)/elimination was selected as the best structural model. Total bilirubin (TBIL) and lean body weight (LBW) were considered as the statistically significant covariates on clearance (CL/F) of ORIN1001. They were also confirmed to exert clinically significant effects on ORIN1001 steady-state exposure after model simulation. The necessity of dose adjustments based on these two covariates remains to be validated in a larger population.Conclusion: The first PopPK model of ORIN1001 was successfully constructed, which may provide some important references for future research.

Background: TQ-B3203 is a novel topoisomerase I inhibitor currently in development for the treatment of advanced solid tumors. Great differences in pharmacokinetic characteristics were found among individuals according to the phase I clinical trial following intravenous administration of TQ-B3203 liposome injection (TLI) in Chinese patients with advanced solid tumors. Thus, it is significant to establish a population pharmacokinetic model to find the key factors and recognize their effect on pharmacokinetic parameters in order to guide individualized administration.Methods: Non-linear mixed effect models were developed using the plasma concentrations obtained from the phase I clinical trial by implementing the Phoenix NLME program. Covariates that may be related to pharmacokinetics were screened using stepwise methods. The final model was validated by goodness-of-fit plots, visual predictive check, non-parametric bootstrap and a test of normalized prediction distribution errors.Results: A three-compartment model with first-order elimination was selected as the best structural model to describe TQ-B3203 disposition adequately. Direct bilirubin (DBIL) and body mass index (BMI) were the two most influential factors on clearance, while lean body weight (LBW) was considered to affect the apparent distribution volume of the central compartment. The population estimations of clearance and central volume were typical at 3.97 L/h and 4.81 L, respectively. Model-based simulations indicated that LBW had a great impact on Cmax, BMI exerted a considerable influence on AUC0-t, and the significance of DBIL on both AUC0-t and Cmax was similarly excellent.Conclusion: The first robust population pharmacokinetic model of TQ-B3203 was successfully generated following intravenous administration of TLI in Chinese patients with advanced solid tumors. BMI, LBW and DBIL were significant covariates that affected the pharmacokinetics of TQ-B3203. This model could provide references for the dose regimen in the future study of TLI.

Background: TQ-B3101 is a novel kinase inhibitor currently in development for the treatment of advanced malignant solid tumor and relapsed or refractory ALK-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma.Methods: A population pharmacokinetic model was developed using data collected from a Phase 1 study and a Phase 2 study to characterize the pharmacokinetic of TQ-B3101 and its active metabolite (TQ-B3101M). The final model was used to optimize dosing of TQ-B3101 for pediatric patients (6-
