Pharmacokinetics of baricitinib in critically ill COVID-19 patients

Résumé

Background: The use of the selective Janus Kinase 1/2 inhibitor baricitinib has shown a survival benefit in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients but this is not without adverse drug reactions. Although critically ill patients are at risk of altered drug exposure, data on baricitinib pharmacokinetics (PK) are scarce. This study describes real-life baricitinib plasma exposure in critically ill COVID-19 patients.Methods: This retrospective observational study was conducted in critically ill patients with COVID-19 treated with baricitinib 4 mg/day. Plasma concentrations were measured at predose (C0), 1 h (C1) and 3 h (C3) after the drug intake. PK and area under the curve (AUC) were estimated using non-compartmental pharmacokinetic analysis.Results: Seven patients contributed to 22 baricitinib plasma concentration measurements after a median [range] of 3 days [2-3] of treatment. Median baricitinib plasma concentrations were 2.2 ng/mL [1.4-8.0], 24.0 ng/mL [4.9-37.3] and 14.1 ng/mL [8.3-15.1] for trough (C0), C1 and C3 concentrations respectively. The median AUC 0-24 h was 188.8 ng.h/mL [141.3-236.3]. No difference was observed in C0 and C1 when comparing patients according to body mass index < or > 30. The patient with the lowest glomerular filtration rate (74 mL/min) had the highest baricitinib trough concentration. Overall, 2 patients had liver function test perturbation and both of them had atypical PK with delayed time to reach maximum concentration.Conclusion: High inter-patient variability and relatively low baricitinib trough concentrations and AUC were observed in critically ill COVID-19 patients receiving the usual dosage of 4 mg/day. This preliminary study encourages further exploration of the concentration-effect relationship of baricitinib in this clinical context.
