The investigators will perform single-dose pharmacokinetic (PK) studies in humans following administration of drugs with known microbiome derived metabolism (MDM) in parallel with preclinical studies. By directly comparing laboratory measurements to clinical results, the investigators will be able to confirm the relevance of MDM in vivo, create microbiome-dependent PK profiles of the MDM positive drugs, and establish methodology to capture the contribution of MDM to inter-individual variability in clinical drug PK profiles.
The human gut microbiome has been shown to play an important role in the observed inter-individual variability in therapeutic response, including both efficacy and toxicity. One of the mechanisms by which the gut microbiome exerts these effects is through the direct biochemical transformation of orally administered drugs into more or less active or toxic metabolites, termed herein microbiome-derived drug metabolism (MDM). Recent systematic studies have revealed an enormous and largely unexplored biochemical capacity of human gut bacteria - cultured in ex vivo microbial communities or as single isolates - to metabolize dozens of orally administered drugs but the clinical relevance of the observed MDM remains unmapped. This gap in knowledge is a result of overt disconnect between preclinical and clinical studies: MDM studies performed in the laboratory are removed from direct clinical comparisons, and human studies performed during drug development and therapeutic interventions almost completely ignore microbiome contribution. Moreover, there is currently a lack standardized experimental methods and mathematical models to start incorporating MDM into clinical decisions. Our PK studies are aimed at developing such strategies into clinical practice.
