Pharmacokinetics of eribulin mesylate in patients with solid tumours receiving repeated oral rifampicin.

ABSTRACT: AIM:Eribulin mesylate is a non-taxane microtubule dynamics inhibitor that was recently approved for treatment of metastatic breast cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of rifampicin, a CYP3A4 inducer, on the plasma pharmacokinetics of eribulin in patients with solid tumours. METHODS:An open-label, non-randomized phase I study was carried out. Patients received intravenous 1.4 mg m(-2) eribulin mesylate on days 1 and 15 and oral rifampicin 600 mg on days 9 to 20 of a 28 day cycle. Pharmacokinetic sampling for determination of eribulin plasma concentrations was performed up to 144 h following administration. AUC(0,?) and C(max) for eribulin exposure without or with co-administration of rifampicin were subjected to an analysis of variance (anova) and corresponding 90% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Subsequently, patients were allowed to continue eribulin mesylate treatment with 1.4 mg m(-2) eribulin mesylate on days 1 and 8 of a 21 day cycle. Also the adverse event profile and anti-tumour activity were assessed. RESULTS:Fourteen patients were included and 11 patients were evaluable for pharmacokinetic analysis. Co-administration of rifampicin had no effect on single dose exposure to eribulin (geometric least square means ratio: AUC(0,?) = 1.10, 90% CI 0.91, 1.34 and C(max) = 0.97, 90% 0.81, 1.17). The most common treatment-related grade ?3 adverse events were grade 3 neutropenia (4/14, 29%), leucopenia and fatigue (both 3/14, 21%). CONCLUSIONS:These results indicate that eribulin mesylate may be safely co-administered with compounds that are CYP3A4 inducers.

Project description:Background and objectiveOveractivation of the PI3K/AKT pathway can occur in many cancers. Capivasertib is a potent, selective pan-AKT inhibitor. The objectives of this analysis were to develop a population pharmacokinetic model for capivasertib and to quantitatively assess the impact of intrinsic and extrinsic factors on the pharmacokinetics of capivasertib.MethodsPharmacokinetic data from four phase I and II studies were combined. Capivasertib was administered orally at a dose range of 80-800 mg twice daily over 28-day and 21-day cycles as monotherapy or in combination with paclitaxel or fulvestrant, using continuous dosing or one of two intermittent dosing schedules: either 4 days on, 3 days off (4/3) or 2 days on, 5 days off (2/5). Several models and approaches were tested for their ability to describe capivasertib disposition. The covariates assessed included dose, schedule, age, body weight, race, sex, creatinine clearance, hepatic function, renal function, smoking status, food effect, formulation, and concomitant use with paclitaxel, fulvestrant, cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily A (CYP3A) inducers, CYP3A inhibitors and acid-reducing agents.ResultsA total of 3963 capivasertib plasma concentrations from 441 patients were included. Capivasertib pharmacokinetics was adequately described by a three-compartment model where the apparent clearance (CL/F) presented a moderate time-dependent and dose-dependent clearance. Following oral administration of multiple doses of capivasertib (400 mg twice daily; [4/3]), the initial CL/F was 62.2 L/h (between-subject variability 39.3%), and after approximately 120 hours, CL/F decreased by 18%. The effective half-life was 8.34 h. Steady state was predicted to be reached on every third and fourth dosing day each week from the second week with exposure levels that produced robust inhibition of AKT but not of other related kinases. The area under the plasma concentration-time curve and maximum plasma concentration of capivasertib were proportional between the dose levels of 80-480 mg after multiple doses but more than proportional beyond 480 mg. Schedule, age, race, sex, creatinine clearance, hepatic function, renal function, smoking status and concomitant use with fulvestrant, CYP3A inducers, CYP3A inhibitors or acid-reducing agents were not significant covariates for capivasertib pharmacokinetics. Concomitant use of paclitaxel, food effect and formulation statistically significantly affected capivasertib pharmacokinetics, but the effect was low. Body weight was statistically significantly related to capivasertib CL/F, with a 12% reduction in CL/F at steady state and a 14% increase in the area under the curve for 12 hours at steady state and maximum concentration at steady state at a lower body weight (47 kg vs 67 kg reference).ConclusionsCapivasertib pharmacokinetics showed moderate between-subject variability, and most covariates assessed had no significant impact. Body weight, dose, concomitant use of paclitaxel, food effect and formulation showed statistically significant effects. However, these were predicted to impact exposure to capivasertib by <20% and were not expected to be clinically relevant. Based on the population pharmacokinetics, no a priori dose adjustment is needed for intrinsic and extrinsic factors.

Project description:BackgroundEribulin mesylate is a nontaxane microtubule dynamics inhibitor approved for second-line (European Union) or third-line (United States) treatment of metastatic breast cancer. Two phase 2 single trials, evaluating first-line eribulin as monotherapy (Study 206; NCT01268150) or in combination with trastuzumab (Study 208; NCT01269346) in locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer, demonstrated objective response rates of 28.6 and 71.2%, respectively. Median progression-free survival was 6.8 and 11.6 months, respectively. Tolerability profiles were similar to those from previous studies. This secondary analysis was conducted to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in both phase 2 trials.MethodsPatients received eribulin mesylate 1.4 mg/m2 intravenously on days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle. Patients in Study 208 also received intravenous trastuzumab on day 1 of each cycle (8 mg/kg in cycle 1, then 6 mg/kg). HRQoL was assessed by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality-of-Life (QLQ-C30) assessment tool and the Quality-of-Life Questionnaire for Breast Cancer (QLQ-BR23) at baseline and cycles 2, 4, and 6. Results for clinically meaningful changes were based on previously published minimum important differences.ResultsOf the 108 patients (56 in Study 206 and 52 in Study 208) treated, 57 and 87%, respectively, completed 6 cycles. Completion rates for both questionnaires were 94 and 98%, respectively, at cycle 6. Most patients had stable/improved HRQoL scores with some exceptions; for example, more patients experienced a worsening in cognitive functioning and systemic therapy side effects than experienced improvement. Mean QLQ-C30 symptom scores correlated with corresponding adverse event rates for nausea/vomiting, dyspnea, appetite loss, constipation, and diarrhea in Study 206 and for fatigue, nausea/vomiting, pain, dyspnea, insomnia, constipation, and diarrhea in Study 208.ConclusionsFirst-line eribulin ± trastuzumab therapy did not lead to deterioration of overall HRQoL in most patients, with more than 60% of patients having stable/improved global health status/quality-of-life scores. Eribulin has been demonstrated to be comparable with other chemotherapy agents with an acceptable safety profile. Therefore, further evaluation is warranted to determine whether eribulin ± trastuzumab therapy may be a potential option for first-line treatment in some patients with metastatic breast cancer who were recently treated in the neoadjuvant setting.Trial registrationNCT01268150 (December 29, 2010), NCT01269346 (January 4, 2011).
