1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Risdiplam (Evrysdi) improves motor neuron function in patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and has been approved for the treatment of patients ≥2 months old. Risdiplam exhibits time-dependent inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A in vitro. While many pediatric patients receive risdiplam, a drug-drug interaction (DDI) study in pediatric patients with SMA was not feasible. Therefore, a novel physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model-based strategy was proposed to extrapolate DDI risk from healthy adults to children with SMA in an iterative manner. A clinical DDI study was performed in healthy adults at relevant risdiplam exposures observed in children. Risdiplam caused an 1.11-fold increase in the ratio of midazolam area under the curve with and without risdiplam (AUCR)), suggesting an 18-fold lower in vivo CYP3A inactivation constant compared with the in vitro value. A pediatric PBPK model for risdiplam was validated with independent data and combined with a validated midazolam pediatric PBPK model to extrapolate DDI from adults to pediatric patients with SMA. The impact of selected intestinal and hepatic CYP3A ontogenies on the DDI susceptibility in children relative to adults was investigated. The PBPK analysis suggests that primary CYP3A inhibition by risdiplam occurs in the intestine rather than the liver. The PBPK-predicted risdiplam CYP3A inhibition risk in pediatric patients with SMA aged 2 months-18 years was negligible (midazolam AUCR of 1.09-1.18) and included in the US prescribing information of risdiplam. Comprehensive evaluation of the sensitivity of predicted CYP3A DDI on selected intestinal and hepatic CYP3A ontogeny functions, together with PBPK model-based strategy proposed here, aim to guide and facilitate DDI extrapolations in pediatric populations.
