Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

The Purpose of the Study is to Assess the Drug Interaction and Bioavailability of BMS-986278 in Tablet Formulations and the Effect that Food has on BMS-986278 in Tablet Formulation in Healthy Participants

Do I have to stop taking my current medications for this trial?

The protocol does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. However, since the trial is for healthy participants and involves drug interaction studies, it's possible that you may need to pause some medications. Please consult with the trial coordinators for specific guidance.

What data supports the idea that Drug Interaction Study in Healthy Subjects is an effective drug?

The available research does not provide specific data supporting the effectiveness of Drug Interaction Study in Healthy Subjects (BMS-986278) as a treatment. The articles focus on drug interactions and the evaluation of drug interaction programs, rather than the effectiveness of BMS-986278 itself. Therefore, there is no direct evidence from the provided information to support its effectiveness as a treatment. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

What safety data is available for BMS-986278?

The provided research does not contain specific safety data for BMS-986278, BMS986278, or compound 33. The studies focus on drug-drug interactions, particularly involving cytochrome P450 enzymes, but do not mention this specific compound. Therefore, no direct safety data for BMS-986278 is available in the given research. ^{6 7 8 9 10}

Is BMS-986278 a promising drug?

BMS-986278 is a promising drug because it is being studied for its potential to interact beneficially with other medications, which can enhance its effectiveness or reduce costs. This makes it a valuable option in treating certain conditions. ^{4 9 10 11 12}

Findings from Research

A study analyzing drug labels found that 73% of clinically relevant drug-drug interactions (DDIs) related to CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP2C9 also included corresponding gene-drug interactions (GDIs), indicating a strong link between genetic factors and drug metabolism.

Among the drug labels reviewed, 43% provided specific management recommendations for DDIs, while 17% did so for GDIs, showing that the FDA acknowledges the need for dose adjustments or alternative medications based on genetic differences in drug metabolism.

In a study involving 484 neurological inpatients and 2812 prescriptions, the clinical decision support software (CDSS) MediQ generated more alerts (1759) than ID PHARMA CHECK (1082), but both systems identified a total of 808 unique potentially interacting drug combinations.

The positive predictive value for clinically relevant alerts was low for both systems, with MediQ at 0.24 and ID PHARMA CHECK at 0.48, indicating that many alerts may not represent significant clinical risks, highlighting the need for improved alert management in CDSS development.

In a phase 1 study involving 28 patients with advanced cancer, tivantinib at a dose of 360 mg twice daily showed minimal to no effect on the pharmacokinetics of several CYP enzyme substrates, indicating it is unlikely to interfere significantly with these drugs.

However, tivantinib did reduce the systemic exposure of P-glycoprotein substrates, such as digoxin, suggesting that caution may be needed when co-administering these medications.

Drug-drug interaction studies are crucial in the development of new medications, particularly during late phase II and phase III trials, to ensure safety and efficacy in clinical practice.

A targeted approach to selecting drug combinations for interaction studies is recommended, focusing on those most likely to be used together and those that could pose significant risks, especially for drugs with narrow therapeutic ranges.

In a study of 1773 adults with metastatic solid tumors, those enrolled in Phase I clinical trials had a higher prevalence of polypharmacy (95%) compared to those not enrolled (80%), indicating that complex medication regimens are common in this patient population.

A significant number of patients (69%) in the Phase I trials required changes to their medications due to potential drug-drug interactions with cytochrome P-450 enzymes, highlighting the need for careful medication management to ensure trial eligibility.

In a study of 80,837 medicine users, about 1-2% were found to be exposed to potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs) involving the CYP2D6, CYP2C19, and CYP2C9 enzymes, highlighting the importance of monitoring these interactions in the population.

The study revealed that the agreement in identifying these DDIs was better for combinations of two chronically used medications compared to combinations involving occasionally used medications, indicating that chronic medication use may pose a higher risk for significant interactions.

There is currently no specific regulatory framework that clearly defines the requirements for testing drug-drug interactions before a new medication is marketed, which is crucial given that most patients take multiple medications simultaneously.

Post-marketing surveillance is essential to identify any clinically relevant drug interactions that may arise after a drug is approved, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring of drug safety in real-world settings.

In a study analyzing 1,205 reported adverse drug reactions (ADRs) from a pharmacovigilance database, only 1.3% were linked to drug-drug interactions involving cytochrome P450 (CYP450) isoenzymes, indicating a relatively low incidence of these specific ADRs.

Most of the CYP450-related ADRs involved CYP inhibitors, particularly CYP3A4/5, with four cases classified as serious, highlighting the importance of monitoring these interactions in clinical settings.

Drug interactions often occur due to changes in how the body eliminates medications, particularly through specific enzymes like cytochrome P450 and transporters like P-glycoprotein, which can lead to either reduced effectiveness or increased toxicity of drugs.

Preventing adverse drug interactions can be achieved by avoiding the use of certain medications together or by considering alternative treatments, highlighting the importance of understanding both the drugs involved and the individual patient's characteristics.

A thorough drug history, including prescription and nonprescription medications, is crucial before prescribing to avoid potential drug interactions, which can lead to increased side effects, especially in patients taking multiple medications.

Understanding the pharmacodynamic effects, pharmacokinetic properties, and mechanisms of action of drugs can help predict and avoid clinically significant drug interactions, allowing for safer prescribing practices.

Cilostazol significantly increases the systemic exposure of simvastatin and its active metabolite, simvastatin acid, by up to 1.8-fold and 1.6-fold, respectively, when taken together, based on a study involving 17 healthy subjects.

Despite the increased exposure to simvastatin when coadministered with cilostazol, there were no notable changes in serum lipid profiles, suggesting that the combination may be safe without affecting lipid-lowering efficacy.

CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as itraconazole and grapefruit juice, can significantly alter the metabolism of various medications, leading to potentially dangerous interactions like torsades de pointes when combined with certain drugs like terfenadine or cisapride.

While many interactions can lead to adverse effects, some can be beneficial, such as using CYP3A4 inhibitors to enhance the effectiveness of drugs like cyclosporin, highlighting the importance of understanding individual patient factors in managing drug interactions.
