Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Vadadustat, an oral hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor, is transported into hepatocytes via OATP1B1, which is encoded by the SLCO1B1 gene. Although interindividual variability in vadadustat pharmacokinetics (PK) has been reported, the influence of SLCO1B1 polymorphisms and the clinical relevance of coproporphyrin-I (CP-I) as a biomarker of OATP1B1 activity on...
