Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Conventional anti-cancer drugs exhibit unfavorable pharmacokinetic (PK) properties such as short systemic half-lives and exert adverse effects due to non-specific diffusion owing to their low-molecular-weight (LMW) characteristic and frequent high parental dose administration. Polymeric nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems (DDSs) can improve the PK limitations of LMW drugs, attributable to enhanced in vivo stability, biocompatibility, controlled and sustained release of drugs for an extended period, and enhanced permeability and retention-based tumor accumulation. This Special Issue will highlight the PK advantages of employing polymeric nanoparticle-based DDSs as drug carriers, for physical encapsulation, prodrugs, and with inherent anti-cancer chemical moieties over conventional LMW drugs to improve therapeutic indices.

We invite the submission of articles on studies describing the design and preparation of novel polymeric nanoparticle-based DDSs for cancer therapy highlighting PK advantages.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Pharmaceutics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Abstract
Dacomitinib is an irreversible epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and EGFR-activating mutations. Proton-pump inhibitors decreased dacomitinib exposure. This analysis summarizes the effect of Histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs) on [...] Read more.
Dacomitinib is an irreversible epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and EGFR-activating mutations. Proton-pump inhibitors decreased dacomitinib exposure. This analysis summarizes the effect of Histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs) on dacomitinib exposure. A within-patient comparison of the steady-state trough concentrations (Ctrough,ss) of dacomitinib and its active metabolite and active moiety with and without concomitant use of H2RAs was conducted using a linear mixed effects model with pooled data from 11 clinical studies in patients with NSCLC. An oral absorption physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was constructed and verified using clinical pharmacokinetic (PK) data after a single dose of dacomitinib in healthy volunteers to estimate the effect of gastric pH altered by an H2RA on dacomitinib’s PKs. The adjusted geometric mean of the dacomitinib Ctrough,ss of the dacomitinib parent, metabolite and active moiety following co-administration with an H2RA was approximately 86%, 104% and 100% relative to that following dacomitinib 45 mg administration without an H2RA (p > 0.05). The PBPK modeling showed negligible change in dacomitinib maximum concentration (Cmax) and area under the drug concentration–time curve (AUC) over 0–24 h after H2RA administration when compared with those administered dacomitinib alone. Co-administration of an H2RA with dacomitinib is not expected to have any clinically relevant effect on dacomitinib exposure. Full article
