ABSTRACT: Purpose
To develop a population pharmacokinetic (PK) model for cabazitaxel in patients with advanced solid tumors and examine the influence of demographic and baseline parameters.Methods
One hundred and seventy patients who received cabazitaxel (10-30 mg/m(2), 1-h IV infusion) every 7 or 21 days in five Phase I-III studies were analyzed by non-linear mixed-effect modeling (NONMEM VI). Model evaluation comprised non-parametric bootstrap and visual predictive checks.Results
Cabazitaxel PK was best described by a linear three-compartment model with: first-order elimination; interindividual variability on clearance (CL), central volume of distribution (V1), and all intercompartmental rate constants except K21; interoccasion variability in CL and V1; proportional residual error of 27.8%. Cabazitaxel CL was related to body surface area (BSA) and tumor type (breast cancer; finding confounded by study). Typical CL for a non-breast cancer patient with a BSA of 1.84 m(2) was 48.5 L/h, with V1 26.0 L, steady-state volume of distribution 4,870 L and alpha, beta, and gamma half-lives of 4.4 min, 1.6, and 95 h, respectively. Sex, height, weight, age, Caucasian race, renal/hepatic function, and cytochrome P450 inducer use did not significantly further explain the PK of cabazitaxel. Bootstrap and posterior predictive checks confirmed the adequacy of the model.Conclusions
Cabazitaxel PK appears unaffected by most baseline patient factors, and the influence of BSA on CL is addressed in practice by BSA-dependent doses. This analysis suggests consistent cabazitaxel PK and exposure across most solid tumor types, although the potential influence of breast cancer on CL requires further confirmation.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a population pharmacokinetic model for Z-endoxifen in patients with advanced solid tumors and to identify clinical variables that influence pharmacokinetic parameters. Z-endoxifen-HCl was administered orally once a day on a 28-day cycle (±3 days) over 11 dose levels ranging from 20 to 360 mg. A total of 1256 Z-endoxifen plasma concentration samples from 80 patients were analyzed using nonlinear mixed-effects modeling to develop a population pharmacokinetic model for Z-endoxifen. A 2-compartment model with oral depot and linear elimination adequately described the data. The estimated apparent total clearance, apparent central volume of distribution, and apparent peripheral volume of distribution were 4.89 L/h, 323 L, and 39.7 L, respectively, with weight-effect exponents of 0.75, 1, and 1, respectively. This model was used to explore the effects of clinical and demographic variables on Z-endoxifen pharmacokinetics. Weight, race on clearance, and aspartate aminotransferase on the absorption rate constant were identified as significant covariates in the final model. This novel population pharmacokinetic model provides insight regarding factors that may affect the pharmacokinetics of Z-endoxifen and may assist in the design of future clinical trials.

Project description:Glasdegib is an inhibitor of the Hedgehog pathway recently approved in the United States for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia. A population pharmacokinetic analysis was conducted to characterize the kinetic behavior of glasdegib and its sources of variability (covariates) by utilizing data from 269 patients with cancer treated with oral glasdegib doses ranging from 5 to 640 mg/d. Nonlinear mixed-effects modeling was conducted using NONMEM (v.7.3) and Perl-speaks NONMEM (v.4.2.0). The estimated apparent total clearance, apparent central volume of distribution, and apparent peripheral volume of distribution were 6.27 L/h, 3.32 L, and 279.2 L, respectively. Age, sex, race, and hepatic function were not significant covariates on glasdegib pharmacokinetic parameters. Baseline body weight, percentage bone marrow blasts, creatinine clearance, and use of moderate or strong cytochrome P450 3A inhibitors were statistically significant covariates on apparent total clearance; however, the magnitude of the effects was not considered clinically meaningful.

Project description:Ipilimumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody approved for the treatment of melanoma as monotherapy and for the treatment of melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, and colorectal cancer in combination with nivolumab. Ipilimumab time-varying clearance (CL) was assessed by a population pharmacokinetics (PPK) model developed using statistically significant covariates identified in a previous PPK analysis plus additional covariates. Data from 3,411 patients who received ipilimumab 0.3-10 mg/kg alone or in combination with nivolumab in 16 clinical trials were analyzed. Ipilimumab CL decreased over time; the change in CL was greater in patients treated with nivolumab combination than ipilimumab alone and in responders vs. nonresponders. Time-varying covariates including body weight, lactate dehydrogenase, albumin, and performance status were evaluated on change in ipilimumab CL. In addition, ipilimumab CL was similar across different tumor types, nivolumab dosing regimens, and lines of therapy. These data suggest an association of ipilimumab CL with disease severity.

Project description:Patritumab deruxtecan is an antibody-drug conjugate consisting of a fully human monoclonal antibody against human epidermal growth factor receptor 3 (HER3) attached to a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload via a tetrapeptide-based cleavable linker. As part of the pharmacometric analysis informing dose selection for later-stage development, population pharmacokinetics (PK) analysis of patritumab deruxtecan was conducted with pooled serum PK data from patients with HER3-expressing solid tumors (from 3 phase 1/2 studies in breast, lung, and colorectal cancer; N = 425) treated over the dose range of 1.6 to 8.0 mg/kg intravenously every 3 weeks. Population PK modeling for deruxtecan (DXd)-conjugated antibody (representing patritumab deruxtecan) and unconjugated MAAA-1181a (DXd, payload) was carried out sequentially. DXd-conjugated antibody PK was described using a 2-compartment model with parallel linear and nonlinear clearance. Unconjugated DXd PK was described using a 1-compartment model with linear clearance and release of DXd as a first-order, time-dependent function of the level of DXd-conjugated antibody in the central compartment. Preliminary covariate evaluation was conducted for prespecified covariates of pharmacological plausibility and clinical interest. The final model retained weight (on linear clearance and central volume) and albumin level, sex, and tumor type (on linear clearance) for DXd-conjugated antibody, and weight (on release rate constant) and hepatic function (on clearance) for unconjugated DXd. Effects of these covariates on the exposure metrics were generally mild and did not require dose adjustment for subpopulations in subsequent development. Further PK characterization for patritumab deruxtecan will evolve with emerging data.

Project description:A population pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis was conducted to characterize sources of interpatient variability on the PK of TAK-931, a cell division cycle 7 kinase inhibitor, in adult patients with advanced solid tumors using data from 198 patients who received oral TAK-931 over the range of 30 to 150 mg once daily in multiple dosing schedules in 2 phase 1 and 1 phase 2 clinical studies. A 2-compartment model with 2 transit compartments describing the absorption and first-order linear elimination adequately described the PK of TAK-931. The apparent oral clearance (CL/F) of TAK-931 was estimated to be 38 L/h, and the terminal half-life was estimated to be approximately 6 hours. Creatinine clearance (CrCL) was identified as a covariate on CL/F, and body weight as a covariate on CL/F, apparent central volume of distribution, and apparent intercompartmental clearance. Simulations using the final model indicated that the effect of CrCL (≥35 mL/min) or body weight (29.8-127 kg) on TAK-931 systemic exposures was not considered clinically meaningful, suggesting that no dose adjustments were necessary to account for body weight or renal function (CrCL ≥35 mL/min). Sex, age (36-88 years), race, and mild hepatic impairment had no impact on the CL/F of TAK-931. Taken together, the population PK analysis supports the same starting dose of TAK-931 in Asian and Western cancer patients in a global setting.

Project description:PurposeThe safety profile of sunitinib in children, including the impact of sunitinib exposure on safety endpoints, was assessed using population pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) models.MethodsData were from two clinical studies in 59 children with solid tumors (age range 2-21 years, 28 male/31 female, body weight range 16.2-100 kg, body surface are [BSA] range 0.7-2.1 m2). Analysis of covariates that affected PK and PD parameters was conducted using a nonlinear mixed-effects model. Safety and tolerability endpoints were absolute neutrophil count, hepatic transaminases, diastolic blood pressure, hemoglobin, lymphocyte count, platelet count, white blood cell count, hand-foot syndrome, fatigue, nausea, intracranial hemorrhage, and vomiting.ResultsThe models well described the time courses of concentrations of sunitinib and its primary active metabolite SU012662, as well as safety and tolerability endpoints. In PK models for sunitinib and SU012662, BSA was the only covariate that statistically significantly affected apparent clearance (CL/F) and apparent central volume of distribution (Vc/F). Higher BSA was associated with greater CL/F and Vc/F. No statistically significant covariates were identified in the PK-PD models. For safety endpoints that had a sufficient number of adverse events, a higher probability of adverse events was associated with higher average plasma sunitinib concentrations.ConclusionIn PK models, BSA was the only covariate that affected major PK parameters of sunitinib and SU012662. Based on analysis of safety and tolerability endpoints, the PK-PD relationships were mainly driven by sunitinib plasma exposures and were not affected by age, sex, respective baseline safety endpoint values, baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, or body size.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00387920 (registered October 13, 2006), NCT01462695 (registered October 31, 2011).

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:PurposeThe poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor rucaparib is approved for the treatment of patients with recurrent ovarian and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer; however, limited data are available on its use in patients with hepatic dysfunction. This study investigated whether hepatic impairment affects the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of rucaparib in patients with advanced solid tumors.MethodsPatients with normal hepatic function or moderate hepatic impairment according to the National Cancer Institute Organ Dysfunction Working Group (NCI-ODWG) criteria were enrolled and received a single oral dose of rucaparib 600 mg. Concentrations of rucaparib and its metabolite M324 in plasma and urine were measured. Pharmacokinetic parameters were compared between hepatic function groups, and safety and tolerability were assessed.ResultsSixteen patients were enrolled (n = 8 per group). Rucaparib maximum concentration (Cmax) was similar, while the area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity (AUC0-inf) was mildly higher in the moderate hepatic impairment group than in the normal control group (geometric mean ratio, 1.446 [90% CI 0.668-3.131]); similar trends were observed for M324. Eight (50%) patients experienced ≥ 1 treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE); 2 had normal hepatic function and 6 had moderate hepatic impairment.ConclusionPatients with moderate hepatic impairment showed mildly increased AUC0-inf for rucaparib compared to patients with normal hepatic function. Although more patients with moderate hepatic impairment experienced TEAEs, only 2 TEAEs were considered treatment related. These results suggest no starting dose adjustment is necessary for patients with moderate hepatic impairment; however, close safety monitoring is warranted.

Project description:The goal of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, mass balance, metabolism, routes and extent of elimination, and safety of a single oral dose of (14)C-labeled brivanib alaninate and the safety and tolerability of brivanib after multiple doses in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. This was a two-part, single-center, open-label, single oral-dose (part A) followed by multiple-dose (part B) study in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. In part A, patients received a single dose of [(14)C]brivanib alaninate and in part B patients received 800 mg of nonradiolabeled brivanib alaninate every day. Four patients (two white, two black: two with non-small-cell lung cancer, one with ovarian cancer, and one with renal cell carcinoma) were treated in both parts. The median time to reach the maximal plasma concentration of brivanib was 1 h, geometric mean maximal plasma concentration was 6146 ng/ml, mean terminal half-life was 13.8 h, and geometric mean apparent oral clearance was 14.7 l/h. After a single oral dose of [(14)C]brivanib alaninate, 12.2 and 81.5% of administered radioactivity was recovered in urine and feces, respectively. Brivanib alaninate was completely converted to the active moiety, brivanib, and the predominant route of elimination was fecal. Renal excretion of unchanged brivanib was minimal. Brivanib was well tolerated; fatigue was the most frequent adverse event occurring in all patients and the most frequent treatment-related adverse event in three (75%). The best clinical response in one patient was stable disease; the other three had progressive disease. Brivanib alaninate was rapidly absorbed and extensively metabolized after a single 800-mg oral dose; the majority of drug-related radioactivity was excreted in feces.

Project description:Talazoparib, a poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor, has demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of advanced breast and prostate cancers in Western populations. This open-label, phase 1 study investigated the pharmacokinetics, safety, and antitumor activity of talazoparib monotherapy in Chinese patients with advanced solid tumors. Molecularly unselected patients (≥18 years) with advanced solid tumors resistant to standard therapy received talazoparib (oral, 1 mg once daily). Primary endpoint was characterization of single-dose and steady-state pharmacokinetics. Secondary endpoints evaluated safety, unconfirmed objective response rate (ORR), and duration of response. The safety population comprised 15 Chinese patients (median [range] age 53.0 [31.0-72.0] years). Single-dose median time to first occurrence of maximum observed concentration was 1.9 h; concentrations then declined with a mean terminal half-life (t1/2) of 67 h. Following multiple dosing, median Tmax was approximately 1.85 h with steady state generally achieved by Day 21. Treatment-related treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) occurred in 86.7% (13/15) of patients (grade 3, 20.0%; grade 4, 13.3%). Two patients (13.3%) experienced serious treatment-related TEAEs. ORR (investigator-assessed) was 6.7% (95% CI: 0.2-31.9); one patient (6.7%) had a partial response. In patients with measurable disease at baseline, the ORR was 9.1% (1/11; 95% CI: 0.2-41.3; duration of response: 114 days); stable disease was achieved by 36.4% (4/11) of patients, and 54.5% (6/11) progressed by data cut-off. In Chinese patients with advanced solid tumors, the pharmacokinetic profile of talazoparib monotherapy (1 mg/day) was consistent with other patient populations. TEAEs were generally manageable with no unexpected safety findings. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04635631 [prospectively registered November 19, 2020]).
