e13022 Background: H3B-6545 is a selective, orally available, small molecule antagonist of the estrogen receptor (ER), covalently binding to a cysteine residue at position 530 of both wild-type and the constitutively active mutant ERα proteins. H3B-6545 demonstrated preliminary clinical antitumor activity in breasts cancer patients in phase 1b/2. Methods: This was an open-label phase 1 study to evaluate the relative bioavailability of H3B-6545 from a tablet formulation compared to capsules, and the effect of pantoprazole on the pharmacokinetics of H3B-6545, in healthy post-menopausal women. Subjects were randomized (1:1 ratio) to a combined crossover and fixed sequence 3 periods treatment: A single oral dose (SOD) of 450 mg H3B-6545 fasted on day 1 (capsules or tablets), followed by a 4-day washout; A SOD of 450 mg H3B-6545 fasted on day 5 (crossover formulation from the first period), followed by a 4-day washout; daily oral doses of 40 mg pantoprazole on days 9 to 15 with coadministration of a SOD of 450 mg H3B-6545 (tablets) on day 15. Results: A total of 16 subjects were enrolled and received at least one dose of H3B-6545 and 15 subjects completed all 3 periods. One subject assigned to the tablet/capsule treatment sequence withdrew from the study due to subject decision on day 13 (Period 3), following completion of Period 1 (H3B-6545 tablet) and Period 2 (H3B-6545 capsule). Following a SOD of H3B-6545 capsules alone, tablets alone, or tablets at steady-state QD of pantoprazole, H3B-6545 geometric mean Cmax was about 1070, 1120 and 1330 ng/mL, respectively, AUC was about 16600, 17500 and 18300 ng.h/mL, respectively, half-life was about 11.0, 11.0 and 10.2 hours, respectively, and the median Tmax was about 3.0, 4.0, and 2.0 hours post dose, respectively. The ratio (capsule/tablet) of Cmax and AUC was both about 0.95; steady-state pantoprazole QD increased H3B-6545 Cmax by 20% with no change in AUC. Nine subjects (56.3%) reported at least 1 TEAE during the study with constipation being the most common (43.8%); all TEAEs were mild in severity. There were no SAEs reported. Conclusions: Plasma PK of H3B-6545 is similar between tablets and capsules, and in the absence or presence of pantoprazole. Concurrent use of gastric acid reducers had a minimal effect on H3B-6545 exposure and was not considered clinically meaningful.
