Lupus nephritis (LN) is a type of glomerulonephritis occurring in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). LN is a significant cause of renal failure, morbidity, and death in patients with SLE. Within 10 years of being diagnosed with SLE, 5-20% of those suffering from LN develop end-stage kidney disease, a fatal condition. Early and accurate intervention for LN is important in improving clinical outcomes. Voclosporin, marketed as Lupkynis, is a calcineurin-inhibitor immunosuppressant for the treatment of LN. This [cyclosporine] A analog was approved by the FDA on January 22, 2021 following promising results in clinical trials. Early intervention with voclosporin coupled with a kidney response is believed to prevent irreversible damage to the kidney and lead to better long-term clinical outcomes for patients with LN. Voclosporin has demonstrated a more stable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic relationship than cyclosporine, a higher potency than cyclosporine, and an improved metabolic profile when compared to older calcineurin inhibitors.
Voclosporin is a Calcineurin Inhibitor Immunosuppressant. The mechanism of action of voclosporin is as a Calcineurin Inhibitor, and P-Glycoprotein Inhibitor, and Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptide 1B1 Inhibitor, and Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptide 1B3 Inhibitor.

4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Drug Indication

Voclosporin is used in combination with a background immunosuppressive regimen for the treatment of lupus nephritis. Safety has not been established in combination with cyclophosphamide.


Treatment of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)


Treatment of non-infectious uveitis


Lupkynis is indicated in combination with mycophenolate mofetil for the treatment of adult patients with active class III, IV or V (including mixed class III/V and IV/V) lupus nephritis (LN).


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Voclosporin inhibits calcineurin, leading to the inhibition of T cell activation by blocking the transcription of early inflammatory cytokines. This reduces inflammation in the kidney, treating lupus nephritis and preventing permanent renal damage.

5.4 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

When administered on an empty stomach, the median Tmax of voclosporin is 1.5 hours, but can range from 1-4 hours. The AUC is estimated at 7693.6 ng/mL*h and the Cmax is estimated at 955.5 ng/mL.


Route of Elimination

Voclosporin is eliminated in the urine and feces, with about 88% detected in the feces and about 2% detected in the urine.


Volume of Distribution

The apparent volume of distribution of voclosporin is 2,154 L. Voclosporin distributes extensively into red blood cells; distribution between whole blood and plasma is dependent on concentration and temperature.


Clearance

The mean apparent steady-state clearance of voclosporin is 63.6 L/h. Hepatic and renal impairment significantly reduce the clearance of voclosporin.


5.5 Metabolism/Metabolites

Voclosporin is mainly metabolized by the CYP3A4 hepatic cytochrome enzyme. Pharmacologic activity is mainly attributed to the parent molecule. A major metabolite has been detected in human whole blood, representing 16.7% of total exposure; this metabolite is about 8-fold less potent than the parent drug, voclosporin.


5.6 Biological Half-Life

The average terminal half-life of voclosporin is about 30 hours (24.9 to 36.5 hours).


5.7 Mechanism of Action

Through the inhibition of calcineurin, voclosporin blocks IL-2 expression and T-cell mediated immune responses, stabilizing podocytes in the kidneys. Voclospoprin is a cyclosporine A analog. It is structurally similar to cyclosporine A (CsA) with the exception of an amino acid modification in one region. This modification changes the binding of voclosporin to calcineurin. Cyclosporine inhibitors reversibly inhibit T-lymphocytes. They also inhibit lymphokine production and release. Cyclosporine A exerts its inhibitory effects on T-lymphocytes by binding to cyclophilin. A cyclophilin-cyclosporine complex is formed, leading to the inhibition of calcium- and calmodulin-dependent serine-threonine phosphatase activity of calcineurin. Along with calcineurin inhibition, the inhibition of many transcription factors necessary for the induction of various cytokine genes such as IL-2, IFN-, IL-4 and GM-CSF occurs. This, in turn, reduces inflammation, treating renal glomerulonephritis associated with systemic lupus erythematosus.
