An In Silico Platform to Predict Cardiotoxicity Risk of Anti-tumor Drug Combination with hiPSC-CMs Based In Vitro Study

OBJECTIVE: Antineoplastic agent-induced systolic dysfunction is a major reason for interruption of anticancer treatment. Although targeted anticancer agents infrequently cause systolic dysfunction, their combinations with chemotherapies remarkably increase the incidence. Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) provide a potent in vitro model to assess cardiovascular safety. However, quantitatively predicting the reduction of ejection fraction based on hiPSC-CMs is challenging due to the absence of the body's regulatory response to cardiomyocyte injury.

METHODS: Here, we developed and validated an in vitro-in vivo translational platform to assess the reduction of ejection fraction induced by antineoplastic drugs based on hiPSC-CMs. The translational platform integrates drug exposure, drug-cardiomyocyte interaction, and systemic response. The drug-cardiomyocyte interaction was implemented as a mechanism-based toxicodynamic (TD) model, which was then integrated into a quantitative system pharmacology-physiological-based pharmacokinetics (QSP-PBPK) model to form a complete translational platform. The platform was validated by comparing the model-predicted and clinically observed incidence of doxorubicin and trastuzumab-induced systolic dysfunction.

RESULTS: A total of 33,418 virtual patients were incorporated to receive doxorubicin and trastuzumab alone or in combination. For doxorubicin, the QSP-PBPK-TD model successfully captured the overall trend of systolic dysfunction incidences against the cumulative doses. For trastuzumab, the predicted incidence interval was 0.31-2.7% for single-agent treatment and 0.15-10% for trastuzumab-doxorubicin sequential treatment, covering the observations in clinical reports (0.50-1.0% and 1.5-8.3%, respectively).

CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, the in vitro-in vivo translational platform is capable of predicting systolic dysfunction incidence almost merely depend on hiPSC-CMs, which could facilitate optimizing the treatment protocol of antineoplastic agents.
