Our recent studies have shown that chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects the pharmacokinetics (PKs) of cytochrome P450 (CYP)2D6-metabolized drugs, whereas effects were less evident on CYP3A4/5. Therefore, the effect of CKD on the disposition of CYP1A2-metabolized, CYP2C8-metabolized, CYP2C9-metabolized, CYP2C19-metabolized, and organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP)-transported drugs was investigated. We identified dedicated CKD studies with 6, 5, 6, 4, and 12 "model" substrates for CYP1A2, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and OATP, respectively. Our analyses suggest that clearance of OATP substrates decreases as kidney function declines. Similar trends were seen for CYP2C8; but overlap between some CYP2C8 and OATP substrates highlights that their interplay needs further investigation. In contrast, the effect of CKD on CYP1A2, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19 was variable and modest compared to CYP2C8 and OATP. This improved understanding of elimination-pathway-dependency in CKD is important to inform the need and conduct of PK studies in these patients for nonrenally eliminated drugs.
