ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of empagliflozin combined with donafenib or lenvatinib on the pharmacokinetic parameters of each drug, and to provide a reference for combined medication in clinical practice. MethodsA total of 48 healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 8 groups: empagliflozin group 1 and 2, donafenib group, lenvatinib group, donafenib pretreatment+empagliflozin group, lenvatinib pretreatment + empagliflozin group, empagliflozin pretreatment+donafenib group, and empagliflozin pretreatment+lenvatinib group, with 6 rats in each group. The doses of empagliflozin, donafenib, and lenvatinib were 2.5 mg/kg, 40 mg/kg, and 1.2 mg/kg, respectively. The rats in the empagliflozin group, donafenib group, and lenvatinib group were given a blank solvent by gavage for 7 consecutive days, followed by a single dose of empagliflozin, donafenib, or lenvatinib on day 7 after the administration of the blank solvent; the rats in the pretreatment groups were given the pretreatment drug by gavage for 7 consecutive days, followed by a single dose of drug combination on day 7 after administration of the pretreatment drug. Blood samples were collected at different time points, and plasma was separated to measure the concentration of each drug. A validated ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was used to measure the plasma concentrations of donafenib, lenvatinib, and empagliflozin, and a non-compartmental model was used to calculate the main pharmacokinetic parameters of each drug (area under the plasma concentration-time curve [AUC], time to peak [Tmax], peak concentration [Cmax], and half-life time [t1/2]). The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups. ResultsCompared with the empagliflozin group, the donafenib pretreatment+empagliflozin group had significant increases in the AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ of empagliflozin (P=0.011 and 0.008), while the lenvatinib pretreatment+empagliflozin group had no significant change in the AUC of empagliflozin, with a slightly shorter Tmax (P=0.019). Compared with the donafenib group, the empagliflozin pretreatment+donafenib group had significant increases in the AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ of donafenib (P=0.027 and 0.025), as well as a significant increase in Cmax (P=0.015) and significant reductions in CLz/F and Vz/F (P=0.005 and 0.004); compared with the lenvatinib group, the empagliflozin pretreatment+lenvatinib group had a reduction in the t1/2 of lenvatinib by approximately 5 hours (P=0.002), with a trend of reduction in AUC0-t (P0.05). ConclusionEmpagliflozin combined with donafenib may alter the pharmacokinetic parameters of both drugs, leading to a significant increase in the exposure levels of both drugs, and efficacy and adverse reactions should be monitored during co-administration. There are no significant changes in the exposure levels of empagliflozin and lenvatinib during co-administration.

Objective To standardize the management of clinical trials in our hospital,reduce the incidence of protocol deviations,and provide a reference for improving the quality of clinical trials.Methods The healthcare failure mode and effect analysis(HFMEA)method was used to determine the potential failure modes of the current protocol deviation.The frequency,severity and detectability of failure modes were quantified and evaluated.The risk priority number(RPN)was calculated and the corresponding improvement measures were proposed.The RPN values before and after the implementation of HFMEA were statistically analyzed to evaluate the improvement effect.Results After the implementation of HFMEA activities,the RPN values of 14 potential failure modes decreased significantly(P<0.05);The risk level of 12 potential failure modes decreased.The HFMEA team members'ability in finding and solving problems,communication and cooperation were significantly improved.Conclusions The implementation of HFMEA activities contributes to the management of protocol deviation in clinical trials,can effectively reduce the occurrence of protocol deviation,and provides experience for improving the quality of drug clinical trials.

OBJECTIVE:To provid e reference for hospital decision-maker to select and use repaglinide and naglinide reasonably. METHODS :Through reviewing literautre ,guideline and instruction ,full score system was estalished for comunni- cation between pharmacists and physicians ;from the aspects of clinical necessity ,effectiveness,safety,economy,medical insu- rance attribute ,essential medicine attribute ,original research attribute ,drug packaging attribute ,drug market and enterprise attributes,the Mini health technology assessment (Mini HTA )was carried out for repaglinide and nateglinide ,and scored on the basis of weight value. RESULTS :Repaglinide and naglinide ’s final score were 77 and 74,respectively. For type 2 diabetes,both of them could reduce postprandial blood glucose ,and had less side effect and good safety. They were both included in the medical insurance list. Both of them were original varieties ,easy to store and had a long period of validity. Although they were expensive in the treatment of type 2 diabetes,their manufacturers had a good reputation and were widely used in the world ,which was a good choice for patients with type 2 diabetes. But they were different to certain extent ;repaglinide could be used in patients with poor renal function [eGFR <30 mL/min] without dose adjustment ;nateglinide should be adjusted according to eGFR for renal excretion. Repaglinide was essential medicine but nateglinide wasn ’t;repaglinide didn ’t need shading storage but nateglinide did. In addition , a variety of liver drug enzyme inducers or inhibitors may interact with the two drugs ,and special groups should be used with. CONCLUSIONS :Mini HTA provide reference for the selection and rational use of repaglinide and nateglinide ;patients with type 2 diabetes can select suitable drug according to their own conditions and needs. When combined with other drugs ,blood glucose should be closely monitored to prevent the occurrence of hypoglycemia.
