Clinical data has shown the importance of understanding the impact of sex on drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Most studies lack sex-specific investigations, leading to a gap in sex-disaggregated pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data. Future research should focus on drugs with significant sex differences to improve understanding of the influence of sex on drug responses.
Increasing clinical data on sex-related differences in drug efficacy and toxicity has highlighted the importance of understanding the impact of sex on drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Intrinsic differences between males and females, such as different CYP enzyme activity, drug transporter expression or levels of sex hormones can all contribute to different responses to medications. However, most studies do not include sex-specific investigations, leading to lack of sex-disaggregated pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data. Based available literature, the potential influence of sex on exposure-response relationship has not been fully explored for many drugs used in clinical practice, though population-based pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modelling is well-placed to explore this effect. The aim of this review is to highlight existing knowledge gaps regarding the effect of sex on clinical outcomes, thereby proposing future research direction for the drugs with significant sex differences. Based on evaluated drugs encompassing all therapeutic areas, 25 drugs demonstrated a clinically meaningful sex differences in drug exposure (characterised by >= 50% change in drug exposure) and this altered PK was correlated with differential response.
