SummaryBackground: Entrectinib is an oral, CNS-active, potent inhibitor of tyrosine receptor kinases A/B/C, tyrosine kinase ROS proto-oncogene 1, and anaplastic lymphoma kinase approved for use in patients with solid tumors. We describe 3 clinical studies, including one investigating the single/multiple dose pharmacokinetics of entrectinib in patients and two studies in healthy volunteers investigating the absorption/distribution/metabolism/excretion (ADME) of entrectinib, its relative bioavailability, and effect of food on pharmacokinetics. Methods: The patient study is open-label with dose-escalation and expansion phases. Volunteers received entrectinib (100–400 mg/m2, and 600–800 mg) once daily with food in continuous 28-day cycles. In the ADME study, volunteers received a single oral dose of [14C]entrectinib 600 mg. In the third study, volunteers received single doses of entrectinib 600 mg as the research and marketed formulations in the fasted state (Part 1), and the marketed formulation in the fed and fasted states (Part 2). Entrectinib and its major active metabolite M5 were assessed in all studies. Results: Entrectinib was absorbed in a dose-dependent manner with maximum concentrations at ~4 h postdose and an elimination half-life of ~20 h. Entrectinib was cleared mainly through metabolism and both entrectinib and metabolites were eliminated mainly in feces (minimal renal excretion). At steady-state, the M5-to-entrectinib AUC ratio was 0.5 (with 600 mg entrectinib research formulation in patients). The research and marketed formulations were bioequivalent and food had no relevant effect on pharmacokinetics. Conclusions: Entrectinib is well absorbed, with linear PK that is suitable for once-daily dosing, and can be taken with or without food.

ABSTRACT BAL8557 is the water-soluble prodrug of BAL4815, a new broad-spectrum antifungal. Healthy male subjects were randomly assigned to four treatment cohorts to receive multiple oral doses or multiple 1-h constant-rate intravenous infusions of BAL8557. Loading doses of BAL8557 were equivalent to 100 mg (followed by once-daily maintenance doses of 50 mg) or 200 mg (followed by once-daily maintenance doses of 100 mg) of BAL4815. In each cohort, six subjects received active drug and two subjects received the placebo. Study duration was 21 days (oral) and 14 days (intravenous). All adverse events reported were mild or moderate, except one severe rhinitis event which was not related to trial medication. After both routes of administration, maximum drug concentration observed in plasma (C max) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) values of BAL4815 increased proportionally to the administered dose. AUC values reflected a fourfold to fivefold accumulation of active drug in plasma during once-daily dosing, which is in line with the long elimination half-life of BAL4815 determined after the last administration (mean, 84.5 to 117 h). At steady state, the volume of distribution was large and amounted to 308 to 542 liters. Systemic clearance reached only 2.4 to 4.1 liter/h. At the levels obtained in the present study, C max values of 2.56 and 2.55 μg/ml after oral and intravenous administrations, respectively, there was no indication of CYP3A4 induction or inhibition (as revealed by the urinary 6-β-hydroxycortisol/cortisol test). Based on AUC values after oral and intravenous administration, an excellent oral bioavailability can be predicted for BAL4815. Once-daily oral dosing of 50- or 100-mg equivalents of BAL8557 were recently demonstrated to be efficacious in a phase 2 study conducted with patients with esophageal candidiasis. These doses (preceded by adequate loading dose[s]) will be further explored in the treatment of systemic mycoses.

2593 Background: Dovitinib (TKI258), an oral multitargeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is being studied in a phase 3 trial for renal cell carcinoma. A previous study compared the bioavailability of 2 capsule formulations of dovitinib. Arm 1 of the current study compared relative bioavailability of the final market image (FMI) form (monohydrate tablets) with the clinical service form (CSF; anhydrate capsules) of dovitinib. Arm 2 assessed the effect of food on bioavailability of the FMI tablet in adult patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors. Both arms employed crossover designs. Methods: In arm 1, pts were randomized to receive a single 500-mg dose of dovitinib either as a CSF capsule or FMI tablet, followed by a single 500-mg dose of the other formulation after 7 days of rest. Plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles were determined from blood samples. A linear mixed-effects model fitted to log-transformed PK parameters maximal concentration (Cmax) and area under the curve (AUC0-tlast) was used to determine the relative bioavailability of FMI vs CSF. In Arm 2, pts received 300 mg of the FMI formulation once daily for 22 days after being randomized to 1 of 6 meal sequences with 3 fed or nonfed states (no meal [NM], low-fat [LF] meal, or high-fat [HF] meal) on days 8, 15, and 22. The relative bioavailability of dovitinib under LF and HF vs NM state was determined using the same model as arm 1 for the PK parameters Cmax and AUC0-tlast. Results: The study accrued 21 pts to arm 1 and 42 pts to arm 2. Based on the interim analysis, PK was assessed in 17 evaluable pts in arm 1. The geometric mean ratios (GMRs; 90% CI) for Cmax and AUC0-tlast comparing FMI vs CSF were 0.99 (0.91-1.08) and 0.96 (0.89-1.04), respectively. The FMI formulation was used in arm 2; PK was assessed in 19 pts. Cmax GMR (90% CI) was 0.82 (0.71-0.94) and 0.90 (0.78-1.03) for HF/NM and LF/NM, respectively. AUC0-tlastGMR (90% CI) was 0.91 (0.81-1.02) and 0.99 (0.88-1.10) for HF/NM and LF/NM, respectively. Conclusions: The oral bioavailability of the FMI tablet and CSF capsule were comparable, and there was no clinically relevant effect of food (HF or LF meals) on the bioavailability of the FMI tablet form of dovitinib. Clinical trial information: NCT01155713.

ABSTRACT Daptomycin, a novel lipopeptide, is bactericidal against a broad range of gram-positive strains, including methicillin- (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Daptomycin is approved at 4 mg/kg of body weight given intravenously once daily for the treatment of complicated skin and skin structure infections and at 6 mg/kg for the treatment of S. aureus bloodstream infections (bacteremia), including right-sided endocarditis caused by methicillin-susceptible S. aureus and MRSA. The present study was designed to evaluate the multiple-dose pharmacokinetics and safety of daptomycin at doses of 6 to 12 mg/kg in healthy volunteers. Three cohorts of 12 subjects each were given daptomycin (10 mg/kg) or placebo once daily for 14 days, daptomycin (12 mg/kg) or placebo once daily for 14 days, or daptomycin (6 or 8 mg/kg) once daily for 4 days. Daptomycin produced dose-proportional increases in the area under the plasma concentration-time curve and in trough daptomycin levels and nearly dose-proportional increases in peak daptomycin concentrations. Other pharmacokinetic parameters measured on day 1 and at steady state were independent of the dose, including the half-life (approximately 8 h), weight-normalized plasma clearance (9 to 10 ml/h/kg), and volume of distribution (approximately 100 ml/kg). Plasma protein binding was 90% to 93% and was independent of the daptomycin concentration. Daptomycin did not produce electrocardiographic abnormalities or electrophysiological evidence of muscle or nerve toxicity. Daptomycin was well tolerated in subjects dosed with up to 12 mg/kg intravenously for 14 days. Doses of daptomycin higher than 6 mg/kg once daily may be considered in further studies to evaluate the safety and efficacy of daptomycin in difficult-to-treat infections.

ABSTRACT The pharmacokinetics of an orally administered valine ester of ganciclovir (GCV), valganciclovir (VGC), were studied. These were compared to the pharmacokinetics of oral and intravenous GCV. Twenty-eight liver transplant recipients received, in an open-label random order with a 3- to 7-day washout, each of the following: 1 g of oral GCV three times a day; 450 mg of VGC per os (p.o.) once a day (q.d.); 900 mg of VGC p.o. q.d.; and 5 mg of intravenous (i.v.) GCV per kg of body weight q.d., given over 1 h. GCV and VGC concentrations were measured in blood over 24 h. One-sided equivalence testing was performed to test for noninferiority of 450 mg of VGC relative to oral GCV (two-sided 90% confidence interval [CI] > 80%) and nonsuperiority of 900 mg of VGC relative to i.v. GCV (two-sided 90% CI < 125%). The exposure of 450 mg of VGC (20.56 μg · h/ml) was found to be noninferior to that of oral GCV (20.15 μg · h/ml; 90% CI for relative bioavailability of 95 to 109%), and the exposure of 900 mg of VGC (42.69 μg · h/ml) was found to be nonsuperior to that of i.v. GCV (47.61 μg · h/ml; 90% CI = 83 to 97%). Oral VGC delivers systemic GCV exposure equivalent to that of standard oral GCV (at 450 mg) or i.v. GCV (at 900 mg of VGC). VGC has promise for effective CMV prophylaxis or treatment with once-daily oral dosing in transplant recipients.

Abstract Purpose Pamiparib is an investigational, selective, oral poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1/2 (PARP1/2) inhibitor that has demonstrated PARP–DNA complex trapping and CNS penetration in preclinical models, as well as preliminary anti-tumor activity in early-phase clinical studies. We investigated whether the single-dose pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of pamiparib is altered by coadministration of a strong CYP3A inducer (rifampin) or a strong CYP3A inhibitor (itraconazole) in patients with solid tumors. Methods In this open-label, phase 1 study, adults with advanced solid tumors received either oral pamiparib 60 mg (days 1 and 10) and once-daily oral rifampin 600 mg (days 3–11) or oral pamiparib 20 mg (days 1 and 7) and once-daily oral itraconazole 200 mg (days 3–8). Primary endpoints included pamiparib maximum observed concentration (Cmax), and area under the plasma concentration–time curve from zero to last quantifiable concentration (AUC0–tlast) and infinity (AUC0–inf). Secondary endpoints included safety and tolerability. Results Rifampin coadministration did not affect pamiparib Cmax (geometric least-squares [GLS] mean ratio 0.94; 90% confidence interval 0.83–1.06), but reduced its AUC0–tlast (0.62 [0.54–0.70]) and AUC0–inf (0.57 [0.48–0.69]). Itraconazole coadministration did not affect pamiparib Cmax (1.05 [0.95–1.15]), AUC0–tlast (0.99 [0.91–1.09]), or AUC0–inf (0.99 [0.90–1.09]). There were no serious treatment-related adverse events. Conclusions Pamiparib plasma exposure was reduced 38–43% with rifampin coadministration but was unaffected by itraconazole coadministration. Pamiparib dose modifications are not considered necessary when coadministered with CYP3A inhibitors. Clinical safety and efficacy data will be used with these results to recommend dose modifications when pamiparib is coadministered with CYP3A inducers.
