Background/Objectives: Glimepiride (GLM), a commonly used sulphonylurea drug for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), has been the subject of numerous studies exploring its kinetic behaviors. However, a comprehensive evaluation that synthesizes all available pharmacokinetic (PK) data across diverse populations remains limited. This systematic review aims to provide detailed knowledge about the pharmacokinetics (PK), the associated pharmacodynamics (PD), and the drug interactions of GLM, which can be used to assess key parameters and identify factors influencing variability across diverse populations and clinical settings. Methods: A systematic search of the peer-reviewed literature was combined using major databases—Google Scholar, PubMed, Cochrane, and ScienceDirect, to identify studies reporting the PK of GLM. Following the data extraction, a meta-analysis using a random effect (RE) model was performed, where feasible, to quantitatively assess the variability of key PK parameters across different studies to create a more robust PK parameter estimate. Results: The final screening has yielded 40 articles. The area under the curve (AUC0-∞) and the peak concentration (Cmax) rise proportionately with increasing doses, depicting the linear kinetics of GLM. The subjects with genotype CYP2C9 *1/*3 depicted a 4-fold higher (AUC0-∞) as compared to that of the CYP2C9 *1/*1 population. Preliminary meta-analysis results indicated significant variability in (AUC0-∞) and Cmax values among different studies. Heterogeneity across studies was high, warranting the use of RE models. Conclusions: The findings of this review would be helpful in the development and evaluation of PK models that may aid in suggesting individualized dosing.

Background/Objectives: Etrasimod is a newly FDA-approved Sphingosine-1-Phosphate modulator indicated for moderate and severe ulcerative colitis. It is extensively metabolized in the liver via the cytochrome P450 system and may accumulate markedly in patients with hepatic dysfunction, exposing them to toxicity. The aim of the current study is to utilize a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling approach to evaluate the impact of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetic behavior of etrasimod and to appropriately select dosage regimens for patients with chronic liver disease; Methods: PK-Sim was used to develop the etrasimod PBPK model, which was verified using clinical data from healthy subjects and subsequently adapted to reflect the physiological changes associated with varying degrees of hepatic dysfunction; Results: Simulations indicated that hepatic clearance of etrasimod is clearly reduced in patients with Child–Pugh B and C liver impairment. Based on these findings, dosing adjustments were proposed to achieve therapeutic exposures equivalent to those in individuals with normal liver function. In the Child–Pugh B and C population groups, 75% and 62.5%, respectively, of the standard dose were enough to have comparable exposure to the healthy population. These adjusted dosages aim to mitigate the risk of drug toxicity while maintaining efficacy; Conclusions: The PBPK model provides a robust framework for individualizing drug therapy in patients with hepatic impairment, ensuring safer and more effective treatment outcomes. Further clinical studies are warranted to verify these dosing recommendations and to refine the model for broader clinical applications.
